Honestly..... what can't you say about this guy. At the age of 14, John recovering from augmentations killed two adult, full grown ODSTs with his bare hands and severely injured the others. He stopped the Ur-Didact a forerunner from long ago who was out to turn the human race into Prometheans, a group of cybernetic/biological soldiers with no will of their own except to follow the orders of the Didact. He stopped the Covenant's attempted activation of the halo rings which would've vaporized all sentient life in the universe. He stopped the activation of another halo as well as the activation of all the halo's from the ark in Egypt AND he destroyed the Scarab, a covenant war machine many felt was unbeatable. But enough about his accomplishments, Chief fought through a terrible upbringing. Kidnapped at an early age to become a Spartan, Chief accepted his fate and embraced it. At age 8 he took lead of all the young spartan candidates and incapacitated 4 marines guarding a pelican drop ship that could've gotten them out of the snowy forest they were dropped in. Additionally he displayed great moral values, defying the order given to him that they leave the last person to the pelican behind. Chief even powered on after he lost his friend and fellow spartan Sam in a HAVOK nuke explosion and his squad mate Solomon was viciously vaporized. Even his closest friend, the AI known as Cortana, was lost to rampancy effectively leaving Chief. But this was all expected right? I mean, chief does have Forerunner DNA in him, the very alien civilization that controlled all life in the universe and were responsible for life being created on Earth. His preservation, bravery, and straight up luck in my opinion make him one of, if not the greatest sci-fy characters of all time.
Here's a little tribute to the Chief which basically reiterates what has been written:

So, this has been something I've always hated--halo. I never liked the game, I always thought it sucked more than Cod, but his story sounds actually kinda interesting, and the I see the jokes from Red Vs. Blue. So it was neat learning about him.
ReplyDeleteIt was very difficult choosing between Superman and Master Chief. While Master Chief lacks characterization and depth, Superman isn't a very interesting character to me either.
ReplyDeleteI had never heard of master chief but he seems like an interesting character who has his own morals, and abilities
ReplyDeleteI think master chief wins against Steven universe pretty easily since even though master chief doesn't have the best dialogue he still is incredibly cool with him fighting the covenant in halo.
ReplyDeleteMaster chief was the victor in my difficult match up with Steven universe. I did not pick him based off of bias but because of an almost indirect advantage he has. Master chief in the halo series represents hope to the supporting characters around him. He is not perfect he is lucky. He was repeatedly evaluated at not the fastest, smartest or strongest yet now he sits at the highest military position for a soldier in the UNSC. He proves hard work can get you anywhere in life. He´s not perfect not by any stretch. He let love cloud his better judgement, he trusted a construct specifically designed to activate the halo rings after it escapes dormancy. But as many know he has saved the world/universe many times from complete destruction. Now the advantage he has over steven is the era in which he came out. Chief came out two months and five days after 9/11. He inspired kids of that generation who may have lost in thought after the September 11th attacks, which many call the worst day in U.S history. I just feel that the time at which he came out gives him an advantage
