History PersonOfMassDestruction / VideoGames

*** Sephiroth, who (pre-madness), was apparently capable of casually slicing up the Junon Cannon like a carrot stick... one-handed.

* Omega in ''VideoGame/MegaManZero 3'', used by [[BigBad Dr. Weil]] as the instrument for enacting the [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt Elf Wars]], all but singlehandedly wiped out 60% of humanity, and ''90%'' of all [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots reploids]].

** Alice: Oh boy, where do we even begin? How about the time when she tried to turn Baron Bunny into a WeaponOfMassDestruction? Or the time when she almost destroyed Starsnatch Cliff and had to be banned from that area? As it turns out, the reason why Stormterror's lair is in ruins? That was her doing. As it turns out...
** Klee: is just like her mother; her destructive behavior can be attributed entirely to Alice. Klee's the reason the Stormbearer Mountains look more like cliffs nowadays. There are four playable characters whose lore includes drastically changing the geography of Teyvat; Klee's the only one who isn't an archon.

* Shadow the Hedgehog in the Sonic franchise: he's the Ultimate Life Form, so he's capable of dealing a lot of damage and surviving falling back to Earth through the atmosphere. The best example of his destructive side comes when he removes his [[PowerLimiter inhibitor rings]], which he wears all the time to limit his power. With them off, he stops being able to control collateral damage. In one instance he was faced with an army of enemies and removed his rings in order to simply run through them all.

* Ghost operatives in ''VideoGame/{{Starcraft}}'', an otherwise fairly gritty and realistic sci-fi universe except for the part where human psychics can cloak and commit genocide with their minds. Especially Kerrigan, who had been captured by the Zerg to serve them, instead managed to overpower them and [[spoiler: at one point]] was queen of the ''entire Zerg swarm''. Which also provided her with some biological upgrades, allowing her to survive ''nukes''.

** Then there's Nova from the cancelled ''Starcraft: Nova'', whose telepathic and telekinetic powers, as revealed in the prequel book, are of the up to eleven variety. When she witnesses the deaths of her parents, she unintentionally emits a telekinetic wave that kill everyone around her and shatters the transparent dome atop their house, which is said to have been designed to stop nukes. She can also MindControl anyone to do her bidding and even capable of limited levitation (by telekinetically lifting herself).

*** The Greybeards, a group of {{Old Master}}s of the [[LanguageOfMagic Thu'um]], have taken a vow of silence because their [[MakeMeWannaShout voices are too powerful]]. Only one of them can talk to you without making the ground shake. Luckily for others, they [[AllPowerfulBystander stay on their monastery at the world's tallest mountain, not getting involved with outside problems]].

** Which is peanuts compared to the [[spoiler:Vellos storyline]], where you are a walking demigod for most of the end. [[spoiler:And then you wake up some ''real'' gods.]]

* The Bhaalspawn in ''VideoGame/BaldursGateII'' (both the original and even more so the expansion) are sometimes treated like this, but in this case the characters who do so are somewhat lacking justification for it. A Bhaalspawn can certainly be a OneManArmy like any high-level character, and getting to high enough levels they can approach this kind of power. But many are just ordinary, unpowered (and un-murderous) people.

** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXVI'' has Eikons, beings hosted in Dominants, humans who are able to take their forms and cause widespread destruction. Depending on where they are born, Dominants are either revered, tolerated due to their power, or they are used as weapons of war. There are eight known Eikons, with one representing each element; Ifrit's sudden appearance in the prologue throws that all out the window, as the Phoenix is already an Eikon of fire.

** In one in game arc, you are sent to a future where you have fully unlocked the powers of an Incarnate -- Basically a mythic god incarnate. You're able to utterly defeat some of the strongest enemies in the game, including three separate incarnates... all of them at once if you so choose, with very little effort. Despite all this, you're powers came to little to late to stop the Coming Storm that caused the horror you're facing... so the mission giver comes up with an idea to jump start your incarnate path early (in game mechanics, you've basically unlock the post-game content)
* Yuriko Omega in ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRedAlert3'' is basically the Japanese schoolgirl version of [[Manga/{{Akira}} Tetsuo]]. She also can be considered a weaponized version of [[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya Haruhi]].

** For example, Axel could set a whole battlefield on fire, just by thinking about it.

** Most of the trained keyblade wielders and masters could turn their respective keyblades to anything they could think about.

* Galacta Knight from the ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'' series is renowned as the galaxy's greatest warrior, whose power was so overwhelming that he had to be sealed away. When [[spoiler:Star Dream]] summons him in ''VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot'', it casually mentions that doing so runs the risk of him ''destroying a few nearby planets''.

*** The [[PlayerCharacter Dragonborn]] is considered one, since they capable of taking on ''Dragons'' single-handed.

** And what if an Overlord was so powerful that she could wipe out [[UpToEleven 99 Overlords and a thousand demon lords]] and has gone omnicidal due to her troubled past, and you get the [[spoiler:True]] Overlord Zenon in a nutshell. She even defeats [[spoiler:Laharl]] with little to no effort, taking a signature Overlord's Wrath in the face and shrugging it off as if it was dust. Even [[SarcasmMode better?]] [[spoiler:She isn't even on her full power due to just waking up.]]

** To really drive home Kerrigan's power, before she was made the Queen of Blades, the scale used to measure psyonic power was rewritten because of her. Before she was the Queen of Blades, Kerrigan was a 10 (out of 10) on the scale. ''[[UpToEleven After, she was a 12!]]''

** Then there's Nova from the cancelled ''Starcraft: Nova'', whose telepathic and telekinetic powers, as revealed in the prequel book, are of the UpToEleven variety. When she witnesses the deaths of her parents, she unintentionally emits a telekinetic wave that kill everyone around her and shatters the transparent dome atop their house, which is said to have been designed to stop nukes. She can also MindControl anyone to do her bidding and even capable of limited levitation (by telekinetically lifting herself).

* In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAkaneia'', Tiki, the daughter of [[PrecursorHeroes Naga]], is stated as having the potential to lay waste to the entire continent if she ever lost her mind; a fate many of her fellow dragons avoided by taking on human forms and becoming the Manakete race. She also became human, though her sheer power still posed a risk to her sanity despite this, and was thus put into a deep sleep by her mother before she passed away. She's eventually awakened some 1000 years later, but frequently forced to sleep until Shield of Seals is repaired, afterwhich she's finally able to live a normal life thanks to it properly containing her power.

** CheerfulChild Flandre Scarlet possesses the ability to OneHitKill ''absolutely anything'' simply by bringing its "eye" into her hand, as well as a [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength lack of comprehension as to the extent of her power]]. She has been confined to the basement of the Scarlet Devil Mansion for almost ''five hundred years'' due to fears of the damage she could cause, and aside from her sister Remilia no-one wants to be anywhere near her.
** Her feats of destruction include destroying a large meteor with a mere hand motion.
** Yukari Yakumo's ability is the "manipulation of boundaries", which, as stated in ''Perfect Memento in Strict Sense'', is basically a SemanticSuperpower granting her [[RealityWarper virtual omnipotence]] limited only by her own imagination, will, and ability to define what she wants to do in terms of boundaries, effectively allowing her to do whatever she damn well pleases however she damn well likes. It's fortunate that she's far too friendly -- and [[BrilliantButLazy lazy]] -- to be too dangerous.

** Shepard itself. There's nearly a 100% of chance that something explotes in every place the commander lands. By ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'', Shepard is well-knowned for this.

* As well as being an all around badass, Solid Snake, now Old Snake as of ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4'', has to deal with some very heavy complications. [[spoiler:Most pressing of which is that due to his unfortunate bout of accelerated aging due to being an artifical human, the [=FoxDie=] virus implanted in him in ''Metal Gear Solid'' has mutated to the point where instead of affecting specific targets it affects anyone and everyone, and Snake must face the prospect of becoming one of the most dangerous biological weapons on Earth in time. By the end of the game Snake makes the decision to kill himself before this happens, but thankfully however this is averted by the end with the timely arrival of Big Boss, who relays the information that a new [=FoxDie=] virus injected into him has eliminated the mutant strain. Snake can at least spend what's left of his life in peace.]]
** On that subject, Big Boss/Naked Snake was considered such an incredible soldier that his post mortem ([[spoiler:or so they thought]]) DNA became a highly prized commodity. So much so that the antagonist of ''Metal Gear Solid'', Liquid Snake, makes it one of his ransom demands. Big Boss may not have caused things to explode by winking at them, but if your genetic material becomes that valuable after you die you might as well be on par with weapons of mass destruction.
** To top this off, Naked Snake's mentor, The Boss, was so feared as a [[OneManArmy one-woman]] NGOSuperpower by the KGB ''and'' CIA due to her high charisma and major assets in all major countries, that both operations agreed to a truce and sabotaged billions of dollars in projects and risked millions of lives just to kill the boss without turning her into a martyr. Assassination attempts include the KGB sabotaging its own spy network (sent one of their only psychic agents on an UriahGambit so he could get killed by The Boss, since he was practically her husband), the CIA sabotaging their one chance at being the first nation to get a human in space (They had the technology but when they heard that The Boss was going to be the test pilot, they started demanding ridiculous requests that would get the pilot killed), the assassination of an innocent and brilliant mind who eventually revolutionized rocket science (ironically, the boss regrets failing to unjustly murder him because his actions inadvertently screwed up her plans), and other marvels of human advancement aborted just to kill one woman. And she survived all of this. Eventually, the KGB sacrifices its own piece of eden (and their secret Tank Mecha testing center) and the CIA sabotage their heist of billions (in 1960s) of untraceable funds, just to ensure that the Boss is marked as a traitor to both countries and executed by her student, Naked Snake. When Snake realizes just how far countries were willing to go to prevent one woman from institutionalizing world peace, he snaps and becomes the next person of mass destruction. His mentor in warfare revealed to be a pacifist is the final straw.

** From the series' backstory comes Pelinal Whitestrake, the legendary 1st Era hero of mankind/[[FantasticRacism racist]] [[TheBerserker berserker]]. Said to be a [[GodInHumanForm Shezarrine]], Pelinal came to [[FounderOfTheKingdom St. Alessia]] to serve as her [[PhysicalGod divine champion]] in the war against the [[AbusivePrecursors Ayleids]]. Pelinal would fly into fits of UnstoppableRage (''mostly'' directed at the Ayleids) during which he [[BloodSplatteredWarrior would be stained with their blood]] and [[PaintTheTownRed left so much carnage in his wake]] that Kyne, one of the [[OurGodsAreDifferent Divines]], would have to [[CueTheRain send in her rain]] to cleanse Ayleid forts and village before they could be used by Alessia's forces. During one particularly infamous fit of rage, Pelinal ''damaged the very lands themselves'', nearly causing [[OurGodsAreDifferent the Divines]] (who sent him) to abandon the mortal world in disgust. It's implied that Pelinal is [[GodzillaThreshold one of the examples of why the Divines don't directly intervene in mortal affairs on Nirn unless the situation is incredibly dire.]]

** [[AuthorAvatar Sol Badguy]], who Gears were based off of. Gets fed up with his side and kills their Gears. It's worth noting that Sol holds back A LOT in all of his fights. Plus he wears a [[PowerLimiter power limiting headband]] because [[SuperPrototype if he didn't he'd be]] [[FlawedPrototype rampaging country to country]], [[PowerIncontinence destroying the world]].

* Alex Mercer in ''VideoGame/{{Prototype}}'' is another one of the "possibly an accident" variants, as resulting from a virus. In a CrapsackWorld filled with murderous military fanatics, zombies, and other twisted unholy abominations, he is considered by far '''the''' most dangerous thing out there. And for very good reason. Thanks to the powers granted by the Backlight Virus, Alex is essentially the perfect killing machine. He's [[LightningBruiser incredibly fast and immensely strong]], [[ShapeshifterWeapon can transform his body parts into deadly weapons]], and has incredible [[HealingFactor healing]] [[FromASingleCell powers]] that make him virtually unstoppable. His most dangerous ability, however, is that he can [[TheAssimilator consume anyone he comes across]], [[VoluntaryShapeshifting taking on their appearance, voice, and memories, allowing him to flawlessly impersonate them]]. [[ParanoiaFuel He can be the person right next to you and you'd never know until it was too late]]. There's a reason why Blackwatch gave him the codename "Zeus".

* The Boss in the ''VideoGame/SaintsRow'' series. In the [[VideoGame/SaintsRow1 first]] [[VideoGame/SaintsRow2 two]] games, the Boss of the Third Street Saints crushes rival gangs almost single-handedly. In ''VideoGame/SaintsRowTheThird'', the Boss takes on a paramilitary organization, blowing up aircraft carriers ([[AirborneAircraftCarrier airborne and otherwise]]) and even potentially taking over a city-state. In ''VideoGame/SaintsRowIV'', the Boss' badassery sees them elected President of the United States, they gain superpowers, and take on an entire alien empire. And in the ''[[VideoGame/SaintsRowGatOutOfHell Gat out of Hell]]'' expansion, it's revealed that {{Satan}} has chosen the Boss to wed his daughter Jezebel because they have caused more death, destruction and chaos ''than any being in human history.''

* Emerl from ''VideoGame/SonicBattle'': he's a Gizoid with the destructive Power to annihilate the whole world. [[UpbringingMakesTheHero Of course, being raised by Sonic,]] [[AntiAntiChrist he Dislikes being this]].

** Shinki is the demonic GodQueen who created the entirety of Makai, the Demon Realm, as well as all beings living within it. Over the course of your fight with her she also ends up unleashing so much unholy hell upon you that she burns her own realm down to the ground, reducing Pandemonium, the capital of Makai, to a hellscape of burning ruins.

** Good news: She still [[PowerLimiter hold her limit]].

*** Cloud becomes one by the time of ''[[Anime/FinalFantasyVIIAdventChildren Advent Children]]''.

** The members of Organization XIII, all when armed with weapons, could take out huge armies with ease and went about destroying worlds. They all had incredible powers, bordering on the impractical.

* While all Vault Hunters qualify to some extent, Gaige from ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands 2}}'' takes the cake. If specced in Ordered Chaos her damage output is high enough to kill [[EliteMook Badass]] enemies in one hit, and Close Enough and To The Nth Degree skills means she can kill enemies behind her without even knowing it, outside of "gained XP" pop-up.
** All of the Vault Hunters in ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands 2}}'' are referred to as a "Walking Apocalypse" by Professor Nakayama in Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt DLC, as by this point they had mowed their way through probably tens of thousands of people.
* ''Franchise/BreathOfFire''

* In ''Franchise/{{Disgaea}}'' characters who have at least overlord-level strength can and will destroy the world if really ticked off. Though they can only do to when using CutscenePowerToTheMax. Laharl does do it in a BadEnd, [[spoiler:as does Mao]].

* ''Videogame/Doom2016'': The Doom Slayer himself likely qualifies. Presented as-is, without the backstory, he's already someone who can and will personally kill thousands of demons, one by one, even if he has to do it with his bare damn hands (and he ''can''). He's someone that recovers and strengthens with every demon he has killed, has more than enough strength to kill a HumanoidAbomination of a zombie with one hand while naked, too agile for most demons to even touch and skilled enough with any weapon that he can outperform entire armies.

* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls''

* ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear''

* ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'':

** Just to give an idea of how powerful he is, Mercer can generate a shockwave powerful enough to gib everybody within twenty feet of him by *slamming his fists together*. [[VideoGame/Prototype2 James Heller]] can launch you halfway across New York by *jumping* in your general vicinity. These people are literally walking [=WMDs=].
