Black Ops 2’s Villain is Revealed as the Leader of the 99%

July 10, 2012 by Ian Miles Cheong

The main villain of the upcoming Call of Duty has been cast as the "Leader of the 99%."

After months of teasing, Treyarch has finally revealed the villain of its upcoming first person shooter, Black Ops 2.

The game’s main villain is Raul Menendez, described as the “idolized Messiah of the 99%”—a Julian Assange-like character who’s old, experienced, and hell bent on starting a global insurrection against the status quo. He hands Sgt. Frank Woods, the protagonist of the first game, a necklace at the end of the trailer which symbolizes a connection between the two characters.

The character, as with the rest of the story, is the creation of David S. Goyer. Goyer is the co-writer of The Dark Knight Rises, which also shares a similar story featuring Bane as Batman’s primary antagonist, who starts a class war aimed against the rich and privileged of Gotham City with the backing of the common man. I’m sensing a common theme here.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 is set for release on November 13, 2012 for the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
