Who’s the Worst Character in ‘Resident Evil’?
In less than two weeks, Resident Evil 0 will come back into our lives so we can finally be reunited with rookie S.T.A.R.S. officer Rebecca Chambers and escaped convict Billy Coen.
These are two of the most criminally underused characters in Resident Evil, so it’s about time they were able to enjoy the spotlight again. As much as I’ve enjoyed the series’ recent course correction, I doubt it’ll ever fully go back to its roots. Capcom’s too enamored with the action genre to remember when they made games that were claustrophobic and isolating.
Chambers and Coen are a relic in the past, and I am absolutely thrilled to help them fight a few more living nightmares before Umbrella Corps comes to fling us back into the present day.
For two decades, we’ve watched this series go from survival horror to action horror to all the horrors. We’ve battled Umbrella’s army of genetically engineered creatures and witnessed those horrors spill out from the Spencer Estate into Raccoon City, and eventually, the rest of the world.
We experienced genuine terror through the eyes of dozens of characters, and to Capcom’s credit, most of the time I’ve cared about the person I was playing as. Jill Valentine, Chris Redfield, Claire Redfield, Ada Wong, Leon Kennedy, Barry Burton — few other video game franchises can boast a cast as iconic as Resident Evil.
Much like how no one is immune to the T-Virus, no game is immune to having awful characters. And when this series decides to gift us with a particularly bad one, it does so aggressively. So…
If you had to choose, who would you name as the worst character in Resident Evil?
I’ll go first. I choose Steve Burnside and his annoying, whiny voice. Fuck you, Steve.

Post Malone Teams With Platinum Dunes & Vault Comics to Create ‘Fury Road’ Meets ‘Evil Dead’ Movie
Here’s an interesting one for you today. “Post Malone, Michael Bay and Brad Fuller’s Platinum Dunes, and Vault Comics have partnered to create an all-new IP universe based on an original story by the 8x diamond recording artist,” Bloody Disgusting has learned this afternoon.
What exactly does this mean? Well, the plan is for Vault Comics to launch this original genre story as a graphic novel in 2025, with Platinum Dunes developing the film adaptation.
The comic book/movie doesn’t yet have a title, but here’s what we know so far…
The official press release details today, “Blending elements of road thrillers like Mad Max: Fury Road, and demonic horror like Evil Dead, the story is set in medieval Europe, where the only thing standing in the way of the horde of demons infesting the continent is a mysterious armored 18-wheeler seemingly sent back from the heavens.”
“I’m so pumped to share this badass story with the world, and I couldn’t ask for better partners than Michael Bay and Vault to help bring this story to life,” Post Malone said in a statement.
“This is the kind of project you dream about,” said Vault CEO Damian Wassel. “We get to work with an exceptional artist at the top of his game to build a completely original story from the ground up. We have an iconic director helping to guide the creative development. We’re going to bring the world a mind-blowing graphic novel, and that’s just the beginning.”
“I love working with talented people, and Post Malone is incredibly gifted,” says Bay. “I am excited to work with him on such an intriguing idea, and when you add Vault to the mix, it raises the bar to another level. This new IP is just what the graphic world needs right now.”
