Summary

• Villains like Bowser and Giovanni could benefit from a good hug and some love in their lives.
• Sephiroth's mommy issues might have been resolved with a big hug from Jenova.
• Scott Shelby and Handsome Jack both needed hugs to potentially prevent their descent into villainy.

Sometimes, all anyone needs is a nice, warm hug. Positive cont🏅a💃ct releases endorphins, which can very clearly stop people from becoming over-the-top and maniacal villains. That is exactly why these villains all need a big hug.

Whether they just seem a little sad and angry at the world or clearly haven’t had enough love in their lives, it’s worth looking at villains with that age-old idea of “I can change him.&rdquꦫ⛎o; Most villains may never be able to change, but it’s worth giving it a try with a solid bear hug. If a mean villain can walk away from a good hug still looking to end the world, it’s safe to say their fate to eventually be defeated is sealed.

10 Bowser ൲- Super Mario Bros.

We know 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Bo🦂wser is💮 always chasing after Princess Peach, presumably to end his life of loneliness and claim a wife, but Mario always 🍌ends up stopping him. You know what we’ve never seen Bowser get? A s♛ingle hug from that princess.

He might be one of the fiercest and most animalistic final bosses out there, but even the meanest people could use a hug. Maybe if Pri🧔ncess Peach (and maybe even Mario) opened their hearts a bit more and dished o🃏ut hugs instead of fireballs, Bowser might just stop his evil ways.

9 Giovanni - Pokem🐼on ꦗ

You’re trying to tell me that someone who can be evil while living in a world full of Pokemon doesn’t need the biggest parental hug possible? 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Giovanni✃ may be the leader of Team Rocket, but I have this feeling he’d be the first to adopt Pokemon if he had some more mom hugs in his childhood.

He just tries so hard to be this aloof and cool villain that it’s clear he wouldn’t bother♏ giving his Pokemon a nickname unless it were a mean one. He even often has a Kangaskhan, a💙nd I don’t think I need to tell you how good of a hug one of those could probably give.

8 ♎ Sephiroth - Final Fantasy 7 ♋

Let’s be honest, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Final Fantasy 7's Sephiroth is one of the most blatant mommy-issue-riddled villains in all of gaming. His entire journey is basically a consequence of him not getting all the love he felt he deserved from his “mother,” Jenova, and we will not be convinced otherwise.

Someone who has such absurdly long hair, a sword far longer than is practical, and a coat so ♛edgy certainly has not been hugged enough. If Jenova had just given Sephiroth a nice big hug, maybe he wouldn’t have gone all – super-homicidal.

7 Scott Shelby - Heavy Rain 🐭

There might not be a more textbook example of a villain who seriously needed a hug. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Heavy Rain's Scott Shelby becomes the deranged, almost Jigsaw-like Origami Killer in order to find a father who will sacrifice themselves to save their child.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The QTE-riddled revelation of the past trauma in Shelby’s life is certainly dark, but maybe if someone had hugged him and helped him through the struggle of losing a sibling, the world could have been spared the wrath of the Origami Killer. The hu♛gs likely wouldn’t have helped his fashion sense🀅, but hey, a hug stopping a serial killer from developing is probably a good thing.

6 Handsome Jack - Borderlands 2 🌳

Easily the most memorable villain from the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Borderlands series, Handsome Jack is yet another example of what happens when someone doesn’t get enough love. Sure, the guy probably would have been just as twisted without hugs, but maybe he wouldn’t have been quite so – Handsom🉐e Jack.

We just have a feeling if he wasn’t stuck on a horrible planet, dealing with horrible pe𒁃ople in Hyperion, and had some love from his family, things might have gone better with Angel. Instead, Jack is just a messed up guy who reques♍ts people jump off cliffs and then rewards them for it.

5 ಌ Superman - Injustice

Realistically, we can directly state that Superman goes evil in the Injustice universe specifically because he can no longer hug Lois Lane. It’s probably safe to go out on a limb and guess The Joker isn’t giving the same quality of hugs as Lois Lane to a guy like168澳洲幸运5开奖网: DC animated movie star Superman.

It makes perfect sense, too; think about how good at hugging Superman must be with super strength. With no one to hug, his only option left was to turn to a darker kind of justice. In a weird way, the whole situation is an 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Injustice in itself.

4 Darth Vader - Star War♊s Jedi: Survivor 🍎

In the weirdest comparison of the year, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Star Wars' Darth Vader and Superman are alike in a lot of ways. One is that they both absolutely obliterated the woman they love, although they are for strikingly different reasons.

Anakin may be the biggest emo in the galaxy far, far away, but thanks to everything we know about him, it’s safe to say the guy needed more hugs. He was litera𒁏lly taken away from his family, told he could neve🌊r have hugs again, and then the only person who ever did hug him died. The man was destined for evil.

3 Albert Wesker - Resident E🧜vil

Anyone who can confidently be as comically evil as 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Resident Evil's Albert Wesker is in need of some more h⛎ugs. We really don’t know much about Wesker’s life, but it’s probably safe to say that he spent way too much time watching The Matrix and not enough time having a loving family.

I’m not going to say that Wesker had a dad who gave him the Homer Simpson child punishment treatment, but I’m also not going to say something like that is out of the realm of possibility. Anyone🦂 who likes that much leather might also like a bit too tight of a hug, but if that’s what stops his attempts to destroy the world, then maybe that’s what’s required.

2 ﷽ꦏ Dr. Wily - Mega Man

You’d thi🧸nk someone as capable of building robot masters as Dr. Wily would be able to build the perfect hug-giving machine. If he doesn’t need hugs because of his villainy, he might need one for that hairline.

There’s nothing wrong with a bit of balding, but having bat wings for hair probably calls for a few exquisite hugs. You’d think he would have just 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:made the perfect robot master for that at this point, but maybe he’s too embarrassed – or maybe he’s worried Mega Man would j✤ust defeat it and use its hugging powers for his own purposes🐭.

1 Xehanort - Kingdom Hearts ✤

When you’re a living Heartless, you probably need a hug. Just think about it: if a little bit of Christmas che꧋er is capable of making the Grinch’s heart grow a few sizes, there’s no telling how effective a hug would be for Xehanort.

A well-timed hug might have even been capable of keeping the entire convoluted 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Kingdom Hearts story from kicking off, which may or may not be a bad thing for you. Even a little bit of the power of friendship wou♌ld have probably led to a hug, so maybe Sora nee♛ds to try to befriend all his villains instead of giving them a beatdown.
