Bosses are enemies that fight you at the end of a level or at a significant point in the story.
Not all bosses can handle the player by themselves. Many use waves of lesser enemies to fight for them while they rest, and some even let these minions do all the work.
A distinct and predictable pattern of attacks or movement a boss takes. This can be based in reaction to a player's actions or simply a stringent script the boss adheres to.
Galactus ripped the player screen when you are about to fight him in Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds.
Comic book or manga characters who are also in video games. There are tons of games with superheros such as Batman and Spider-Man out there.
Ahh, eating... We can't live without it, and, apparently, neither can some characters. From snakes to dots, games have odd ways of dishing out their dishes.
A full-screen attack hits the opponent no matter where they are. Often used by characters suffering from SNK Boss Syndrome.
Video games that are based on comic books, manga and graphic novels.
Whether it be Mario vs. Bowser, Jedi vs. Sith, Link vs. Ganon, or Elves vs. Orcs, the forces of good are in an eternal battle with the hordes of evil.
Featured on some of the Marvel Zombies covers, where they are all homages.
In Marvel vs Capcom 3 only.
A narcissist is a person that is obsessed with one's own looks or who has an egomaniacal sense of self-importance.
Planet destruction sometimes a gameplay mechanic, sometimes a plot point. Should cover pending as well as actual destruction.
When a character that the player fights as a boss is playable elsewhere.
SNK fighting games are notorious for boss fights of ludicrous difficulty. Common symptoms of SNK Boss Syndrome include absurdly high attack priority, overpowered special attacks, and AIs that read button inputs. Though it's most common in SNK games, the syndrome has also appeared in games by other companies.
Games featuring characters which posses superhuman abilities and powers.
Superpowered or super intelligent bad guys who fight superheroes.
Bosses that are designed to not be beaten; however, sometimes these bosses can finally be beaten at a later point in the game.
A malevolent character whose goals are evil in nature. While villains are commonly featured as antagonists, not all antagonists are necessarily villains.
