If we had Dark Biohazard, we'd know.

He should appear in a game again, though.

I think Capcom used HUNK as a "shadow" character appearing briefly in a lot of RE games (RE2 in 4th survivor, RE3 in the epilogue, RE4 in the mercenaries, RECVX in his Report, REUC in a rerun of 4th survivor, etc). I don't think it will have more screen time than the others main characters, because his characteristic is to appear only briefly. But I think it would be great to see him as a main character with a duality on the good/evil theme, just like Ada.

That's why I've given him the nickname "Master of Minigames".

I hope we never delve too deep into his character. I like his story as his. Get to the location, get the job done, get out, get paid.

We might get to see him in ORC. He is, after all, Vector's mentor.

What if Chris and Jill never made it out of the mansion - Game'd seem like a middle finger.
What if they never made it too the mansion - Then, there wouldn't be a game!
What if Hunters were not dicks - Impossible. Flame-Based attacks are godly.
What if Rebecca didnt know how to play the piano - It don't matter, Chris know how to play da piano, G.
What if Chris knew how to play the piano - *See above*
What if Leon was in the mansion incident - I dunno.
What if Claire got eaten by that first zombie - Then, we'd only have half of RE2 to enjoy.
What if Leon accidentally shot her in the head - *See above*
What if Mr.X and Birkin had an epic fight - Holy shit.
What if Nemesis had 2 handguns and shot lazer beams - He'd be really unfair.
What if Steve was a woman named Steph - Then his VA would be forgiveable.
What if Leon said *Fuck this village I'm gone* - Wouldn't be a game.
What if Wesker killed Chris - Wouldn't be a game.
What if....

I hate Steve, by the way.

What if Manuela came back as a playable character in a later game, and her main attack was throwing her flammable blood at enemies?

Then she'd be a playable character who throws flammable blood at people. That's like asking what if Jill wore an Aerosmith t-shirt during the events of RE3 or if Claire had arrived in Raccoon City on a 4-wheeler, it wouldn't be the root of any drastic change.

What if Gravedigger was a reasonable boss?

Why isn't it reasonable?

Just doesn't seem like it to me.

What do you define as "reasonable"? Death with two slashes from a knife? Challenging games are a rarity these days and RE3 being a challenging game doesn't make anything about it "unreasonable". You just suck at it, plain and simple.

I think it would be nice if his origin story was similar to Richards: the death if a loved one motivates him to do the work he's assigned to.

Something like that.

Hunk is a mercenary, no different from those trigger-happy douches that work for companies like Blackwater. What motivates him is money.

No, I just suck at fighting Gravedigger.

Personally, I don't see HUNK aspiring from a young age to "professionally kill zombies for a living." He was a hired mercenary. He does whatever it takes to make money. Killing just happens to be something he is very efficient at and the killing of zombies was only happenstance. He was never hired on to kill zombies because zombies were never supposed to exist. Like GL said, he's in it for the money. No more, no less. They call mercenaries "soldiers of fortune" for a reason.

He was trained by Umbrella on Rockfort Island (it says so in a report found in CV). Didn't they train him specifically in the event of resulting monsters from their research?

He was trained to do just what the USS members are trying to do in ORC. To clean up after any mistake Umbrella makes. Not just for events like an outbreak.

I was thinking that Leon would make a good BSAA agent as its in his field, they could probably give him more work than the US Governemt can (so far they have only given him Operation Javier, and the events in RE4 and Degeneration). Maybe Capcom could make him a BSAA agent in his next appearance in a game? Its a pretty good idea if you ask me. If i have missed dany of Leons missions than i apologize.

The government most likely has given him more missions than that, they just haven't been explained in the games.

Leon has an incentive to keep working for the gov: Sherry. I really have no idea what the case is with her but I'm pretty sure Leon wouldn't leave her.

What if... Chris didn't take Steroids.

What if... Wesker dodged the two rockets?

He would've propably drowned in the lava.

His hand would've survived and been given to Revolver Ocelot.

It would be stupid if Wesker survived. There's no way.

It's better that he died there. It made RE5's plot more epic and meaningful. His death meant an end to that saga. Now a new saga begins with RE6, where a new enemy will most likely be revealed.

Although I still want him to appear in all of the minigames. You simply cannot have Mercs without Wesker.

EDIT: Plus, it's kind of like why Scarface died. Wesker had done so many terrible things that it just wouldn't be right for him to survive. Character-wise, he deserved to die. (If he was a real person in real life it wouldn't be my place to judge, it would be God's. Since he's a character, though, I can agree that he got what was coming to him, and his "time was up.")

This IS a what-if thread, you know.

^What if it wasn't? lol

He did dodge them, sort of. If you watch closely, you can see the rockets fly past his head.

That's because the rocket chopped his head off

Crap. I'm doing the very thing I sought to destroy.

What if in Chris's scenario in RE1, Barry had made it to the mansion instead of Jill?

"You were almost a Chris sandwich!"

What if capcom never replaced Waugh with dc douglas. What if n'gai croal never made stupid, ignorant comments before re5 came out.

Actually, in the beta version of RE1, there is a scene where Barry saves Chris from the same situation.
