There are plenty of video games where superpowers take precedence - where the rules of being
human are shoved aside in favor of characters who rocket through the skies, blasting away
at enemies with their heat vision.
What you don't find a lot of, however, are games that feature a character with a disability
- superpowered or otherwise.
Whether they live with a physical ailment or a mental illness, these types of characters
are severely underrepresented in games.
Let's take a look at some of gaming's most daring do-gooders - and ne'er-do-wells - who
just happen to live with a disability.
Bently, Sly Cooper
Don't let his adorable appearance fool you: Bently is a turtle with a gritty voice and
a bit of a mouth on him.
"Do you even know what I'm saying to you?
Or are you too stupid to understand the words coming in through your ear holes?"
But that's not all. He's also paralyzed, and requires
the use of a wheelchair to move around the world
he and his Sly Cooper crew exist in.
He's also an explosives expert and handles most of
the planning for the missions that Sly Cooper and his gang take part in
Bently wasn't always paralyzed.
His injuries came at the hands of Clock-La in Sly Cooper 2 after the Clockwerk Jaw fell
on him.
But he learned how to live with his condition, outfitting his wheelchair with weapons, booster
rockets, and even a "pick-pocket arm" capable of stealing from nearby enemies.
And in Thieves of Time, players can even attach a "hover pack" to Bently's wheelchair, giving
him the ability to float over bad guys and attack them from above.
Bently is proof that having a disability doesn't stop you from kicking butt and taking names
with the best of 'em.
Senua, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice
The titular heroine from Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice suffers from a disability that differs
from many of the others depicted in video games.
Senua's is not a physical disability, but rather, a mental one.
She experiences what is called psychosis, a condition categorized by a blurred line
between delusion and reality.
Senua's condition plays a major part in the game, as players - assuming control of Senua
- are haunted by the same voices she hears and view the same hallucinations she's witnessing.
Extensive research went into Hellblade to ensure the game represented psychosis in a
way that accurately depicted it while not adding to the stigma of mental illness.
The team behind the game even interviewed a teen girl who suffers from psychosis and
also consulted healthcare professionals to better understand the disorder.
The result is a game that dares to tackle a disability not many other games have - one
that won a Games for Impact award for its effort.
"This was a game about people, real people.
People with severe mental illness who helped us over the two years of making this game."
Big Boss, Metal Gear Solid
While the Metal Gear Solid franchise boasts a whole batch of badass characters living
with disabilities, there's one takes the cake of biggest bamf in Outer Heaven - we're talking,
of course, about Big Boss.
If you've only played the final main release in the Metal Gear franchise, Metal Gear Solid
V: The Phantom Pain, you may have wondered why Big Boss wears an eye patch in the game.
It's because Big Boss suffered a loss of vision in that eye due to an injury that can be traced
all the way back to Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.
In Snake Eater, Big Boss - who was known then as Nakd Snake - diverted a bullet that was
intended for the spy Tatyana.
While he managed to save her, he didn't escape the ordeal unscathed.
He was on the receiving end of a muzzle burn from the fired shot - a burn that rendered
him blind in his right eye.
The eyepatch he wore in later Metal Gear titles became such a part of Big Boss's identity
that his pet, DD, also wore an eyepatch as a sign of solidarity.
Not that the patch slowed him down any: Big Boss continued to be the best fighter in the
world, despite the loss of stereoscopic vision.
And even after his younger, two-eyed clones showed up, he still proved he could hold his
own - and that's pretty freaking cool.
Lester Crest, Grand Theft Auto V
Grand Theft Auto V is one of the best-selling video games of all time as well as the most
profitable entertainment product ever.
It's a pretty impressive feat for a game that first released in 2013.
And while players have found fun in the game's story, open-world adventures, and online component,
there's another reason to like - or at least respect - GTA V: One of its most interesting
characters is handicapped.
Lester Crest is a central character in the main Grand Theft Auto V campaign, as well
as a major part of GTA Online.
He's also disabled, using a wheelchair and cane due to a "wasting disease" that affects
his mobility.
While he's not able to run and gun like some of the other characters in the game, he's
still able to stir up trouble, assisting other characters by planning heists and acting as
a scout.
While he's considered a "genius" in the GTA V world, he's also kind of a huge jerk - and
he has no problem reminding the player every chance he gets.
"Don't let me down on this.
I'm putting my neck on the line - and I like my neck.
It's my best feature."
Dunban, Xenoblade Chronicles
A Xenoblade Chronicles fan favorite, Dunban is best known for using a mythical sword called
the Monado to fight back an invasion of enemy forces in a time before the game's story.
Unfortunately, the devastating power of the Monado was also harmful to Dunban, and wielding
it for too long caused his right arm to become paralyzed.
The Dunban that players encounter once they enter the world of Xenoblade Chronicles has
no use of his right arm.
He is still able to carry a weapon - however, he's forced to use it with his left arm.
Despite the disability he's forced to cope with, Dunban is a more than capable fighter.
And as players progress through the story, Dunban once again takes hold of the Monado,
wielding it with his left arm to assist his allies in battle.
Joker, Mass Effect
Joker, who is voiced by Seth Green, is one of the more entertaining characters in the
Mass Effect universe.
His wisecracks, sarcasm, unparalleled piloting skills, and affection for his ship's artificial
intelligence is endearing.
"I was thinking of installing some lava lamps.
Maybe Christmas lights for ambiance?
What do you think?"
But it's his ability to persevere, even thrive, despite a bone disease called called Vrolik
Syndrome that makes him a real killer comrade.
"OK, I've got Vrolik Syndrome - Brittle Bone Disease.
The bones in my legs never developed properly - they're basically hollow.
Too much force, and they'll shatter."
Joker was born with fractures in his legs, and as an adult, still has a hard, painful
time walking around without the use of crutches or braces.
So other than a highly tense moment in Mass Effect 2 when he is forced to travel to the
Normandy's AI core, Joker's rear end is usually planted firmly in his chair.
And when your pilot was the top of his class in flight school like Joker was, that's exactly
where you want him.
"This is all Joker's fault.
What a tool he was.
I have to spend all day computing pi because he plugged in the Overlord."
