The lore or interconnected storyline of the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Crash Bandicoot universe is not exactly complex. N. Cortex did a bad thing, Crash has to stop him by spinning arounꦏd and collecting fruits/crystals. At the end of almost every game, players can find Crash and the main antagonist Dr. Neo Cortex battling it out for the fate of the Wumpa Islands and sometimes the world.
N. Cortex has a troubled past and an even more troubling outlook on life, so, with a new game that fans are hyped for on the horizon, we figured it was time to take a closer look 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:at this chaotically evil mess and rank the worst of his ac🅷hievements over the years.
10 ꦏ He Created The Her꧋o
Cortex and his cohort Nitrus Brio accidentally made Crash Bandicoot into the enhanced yet dumb hero that he is. Turns out their Cortex Vortex brainwashing machine had a slip-up. They enhanced a Bandicoot to make it superhumanly strong/fast, that part worked out. But then the Vortex rejected Crash's DNA, and instead of increasing his intelligence and making him subservient, it just made him goofy. So that's how 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Crash got strong enough to♒ take on anyone. I♐t's great that he essentially created his own foil, but likely unpleasant for Crꦑash himself.
9 Accidentally Sent His Pet Parrots To Another Dimension ꦚ
Early on in his sad and evil life, Neo "Periwinkle" Cortex used to experiment on whatever he could, even his own pets. Turns out the guy accidentally sent his twin pet Parrots to a different dimension when he was young, and they make their return in Crash Twinsanity. In this game they'rꦜe the anta๊gonists, now warped and made hyper-intelligent from their time in what they call the "Tenth Dimension."
8 🔥 Tricked Crash Into Powering His Space Station 🍸
Crash 2: Cortex Strikes Back picks up right after the end of the first, where Neo discovers these powerful crystals in the cave he crash lands in. He realizes that he can use these things to power an even bigger Cortex Vortex and hatches a plan to gather enough to brainwash the whole world. But, because these Crystals are spread throughout the world, he cons Crash Bandicoot himself to gather them for him, telling him its for the sake of the planet. Brainwashing the entire🙈 planet? Pretty evil. But lying to the maඣin character to make him collect stuff for you? Not quite as bad.
7 ൩ Blew Up His High School At Eight Years Old
Back when both he and his childhood friend/partner✨-in-crime N. Brio were kids (around 8 years old), they enrolled in high school🐟 because that's what super-geniuses do.
They were hoping that high school would be better than the Academy of Evil that they attended before sinc𒉰e they were bullied constantly. It wasn't better, and the bullying started anew. They toughed it out for a while, but then some "freak" accident blew up the school and most of the town around it. Wonder who caused that?
6 Mounted The Heads Of His Own Henchmen On The Walls 🐻
The Titans were the army Cortex used in Crash of The Titans, and he made quite a few ꦡofꩵ them with a combination of Mojo and science. But, in the last level of the game, players can see that he didn't treat them all equally. During this level, Crash can venture into Cortex's private room and can see that there are several Titan heads mounted onto the wall as if they were animals from a successful hunt. It's not exactly supervillain-esque to mount creatures as trophies, but killing animals, even mutated ones, is still pretty evil.
5 𒊎 Stole All The Mojo From An Ancient Spirit
Speaking of the Titan-making process, let's look a bit more into that. Where does this "Mojo" come from, after all? Well, it comes from Aku Aku's twin brother, Uka Uka, who first started appearing in Crash: Warped and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:has been a mainstay charaꦓcter ever since. Uka Uka and Cortex are usually at odds, there have been games where Cortex works for Uka, some in which Uka works for Cortex, and even a few where they both went their separate ways. But the way Neo treats Uka in Crash of the Titans is a whole new level of cruelty. This mad scientist captures this ancient evil guardian spirit, restrains him, and then uඣses machinery to drain him foꦑr his Mojo.
4 Shrunk 🐠The Planet, For ℱSome Reason
The handheld Crash Bandicoot games don't get a lot of love, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:even the Cart Racing spinoffs get more. They sort of got lost among all the other Crash titles. There are a ton of these games in the timeline, and 168澳𒁏洲幸运5开奖网:even a few canceled ones along the way. But, in Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure, Cortex is at his most successful and most evil.
In most of the games, Cortex never really gets to fully realize his plan, but in this title he does, and he wants to shrink the entire planet. Now, it still isn't entirely clear why he did this or what his plan was ෴afterward, but as far as evil scientist plots go, Cortex nailed it in this game.
3 🍨 Almost 🦩Successfully Brainwashed The World
Remember how this "Cortex Vortex" invention was supposed to enslave the genetically modified animals made by Cortex and N. Brio so that they would have an army of their own? Well, it's clear that it didn't work on Crash, but that doesn't mean the machinꦚe didn't work at all. And after the first game, Cortex wants to try it again, but this time he wants to use it on the entire Earth all at once. He tricks Crash into gathering all the crystals for him so he can power his space station, but sadly he never gets to bring this plan to fruition. Still, he was planning to do it, and if he had succeeded, this would have been both the most successful and most villainous he would have ever been.
2 Genetically Modified And Enslaved Tons Of Animals 𓄧
Readers now know what Cortex has thought about doing, what he's planned on achieving, and what he's actually accomplished. But, what about the stuff he's already done in the past? What about all the animals, people, and creatures Cortex successfully managed to both enhance and brainwash with his Cortex Vortex? All those animals that players fought and beat in the first couple of games were results of Cortex's inventions. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:All the best bosses had ties to Cortex, Tiny Tiger, Ripper Roo, Koala Kong, and even Dingodile were all successfully𒊎 created by N. Cortex and successfully controlled. Essentially, he created a bunch of genetic weapons of mass destruction.
1 Actually Brainwashed The World With Phony G𓆏lasses Tech 𝄹
It's known that Cortex controlled animals with his inventions, but what about his efforts against humankind? He did shrink the planet, but other than that most of his plans against humanity have been thwarted by Crash. That is, except for the game Crash: Mind Over Matter. In this title, Cortex steps up his game and starts working with N. Brio again. They combine both the Evolve-O-Ray and Cortex Vortex into one headband-like apparatus that both controls and enhances the host when it is worn (he even tests it himself for 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the finale's boss fight). Instead of using it on just animals, Cor♛tex actually markets it as a "Google Glass" sort of invention and makes some real money by mass-producing it. While he is eventually stopped, there is a time in the title where most of the human population is und🥀er his control.
