#9 Max Payne
It didn’t take long for Max Payne to go from loving husband and father to homicidal maniac. All it took was a swift Mentalist-like blow to the family. Max may have flare and style when he’s throwing his body around like a ragdoll for the pure purpose of killing people around corners and slowing time down, but all of that is fueled by pure desire for revenge, and after that has been fed, probably ennui.
Come the third game, Payne has become nothing more than a vessel for violence fueled by pain (no pun intended… ok, maybe a little) and principles. Also booze.
