Most Tragic Villain

[Stealthygamer]

Albert Wesker

Not going into detail because i don't know enough about RE, but what i know from 4&5 it's pretty sad

 

[Toar]

Light from Death Note.

Yes, he was evil from the start, but you almost wanted him to win. He was like an evil SHerlock Holmes with a magic book from Hell.

His demise was unbecoming and therefore tragic.

Got to go with Black Adam's modern origin story. He was originally a superhero in ancient Egypt, but while he was away serving the people his family was brutally murdered. Thus he became a a tyrant of his country, an anti-hero and finally a villain. Plus the whole Isis thing sucks for him as well

Joker. Imagine this, you lose your wife and baby, you have no job, no hope and still have to do a job for the mob or you'll be killed.

You do realize that none of that was real, right? The Joker made it up. Remember all that insanity he's got?

"Something like that happened to me, you know. I...I'm not exactly sure what it was. Sometimes I remember it one way, sometimes another...If I'm going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice!"

Surely thats what makes the Joker so tragic, he can't pull his mind together for long enough to remember who he even is. The only thing he knows about himself is that something terrible happened to him. Its even worse if he chooses to have a mind that distorted, he would rather have no concept of who he is and be unable of displaying the most basic human trait, connecting with another person emotionally, than be able to remember this horific incident.
