The 10 Biggest Asshole Bosses in Gaming – Grand Finale!
1: Horace Belger (Final Fight)
Hooooooooooly shit.
Horace Belger is the leader of the Mad Gear Gang, best known as the only street gang to have every member murdered by the mayor. To cover for this, Belger pretends to be a businessman.
A handicapped businessman.
Yes, he pretends to be handicapped. And also, yes, that is a crossbow.
Horace Belger pretends to be handicapped so he won’t get beat up. And really, what kind of ruse would work better? Imagine the news the night Haggar walked down the street and killed everybody he saw to save his daughter. “Well, if you’re just joining us, Mayor Mike Haggar has ended his brutal killing spree by dropkicking paraplegic philanthropist and businessman Horace Belger out of a 40th story window.” What if it was an election year? What kind of reelection campaign do you run? “Mike Haggar: Tough on Crime, Tough on Cripples.” I don’t think there’s a spin doctor powerful enough to fight that kind of public image. The only way Haggar could save his incumbency would be to literally threaten the voters. “Vote for me, or… you’re next.“
Biggest Display of Dicketry:
Surprisingly, there is actually a worse fate than being known as the guy who pushed a crippled businessman out a window, and that would be to be known as the person who recrippled the recovered paraplegic. Sadly, Haggar has that as a bullet point on his resume as well. In Mighty Final Fight, Belger is a cyborg with robotic legs. To most people, that’s just going to be how a rich man overcame his handicap after being defenstrated, but the truth is he just wanted a new way to fuck up Haggar’s image. That’s why he is truly sultan among assholes.
