Tyrant T-103 (Mr. X)

He was like the Nemesis BEFORE the Nemesis was made, if that makes sense. The Nemesis was made by infecting this form of Tyrant with a Nemesis Parasite.

You guys mean Tyrant? I always thought he had such great fashion sense.

RE2 is my favorite in the series. It's the only time in Resident Evil where you're not playing some super powered secret agent, massive mercenary, or muscled monstrosity sent in to a situation with a relatively strong knowledge of what they can expect. Sure, you got a similar experience in the first one, but your characters were basically super cops. Not so in the second: instead, you have a rookie cop and an elite cop's kid sister. Neither of them have any idea what is going on, they're scared, they're being chased by all kinds of freakish creatures, and they are immediately thrust into the thick of things: there is no hand holding.

Resident Evil 2 was a top notch survival horror game that unfortunately stands out in the series due to its strengths, which subsequent games completely forgot about. Sure, the same characters come back in other titles, but now they are a battle-hardened corporate terrorist who trick shoots exploding air tanks and a secret service agent who can suplex chainsaw-wielding Grimke sisters. It's just not the same.

No, the tyrant is the ugly mess of muscles, eyes, and claws that you fight at the end of the first game and the boss you repeatedly fight in the first playthrough of Resident Evil 2.

The guy we're talking about is exclusively in the 2nd playthrough of RE2, and is all white and pale skinned, with a long trenchcoat, who likes to smash through walls like Kool-Aid Man.

He is a Tyrant, they all are, including the Nemesis. Read the above link in my post and check out all the Tyrants.

Hell, here is the main Tyrant link. http://residentevil.wikia.com/Tyrant

Models of Tyrant
Experimental Tyrants

T-001 - Released unintentionally, defeated by Rebecca Chambers and Billy Coen - killed by Wesker.

T-002 - Released by Wesker, killed by Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, Barry Burton, and Rebecca Chambers.

091 - First t+G virus Tyrant, killed by Bruce McGivern.

T-011 - Experimental prototype of T-A.L.O.S.

Hypnos-T Type - Experimental Tyrant being created in order to establish a more ferocious series of Tyrants following the success of the T-103. Killed by Ark Thompson.
Bandersnatch - A offshoot variation of the tyrant developed on Rockfort Island and released early to kill claire Redfield.

Mass produced models and variants

T-103 - First mass-produced Tyrant. In Raccoon City, one was sent to retrieve the G-virus. The one that was sent to Raccoon City was killed by Leon S. Kennedy with the help of Ada Wong. Others were sent in to help Umbrella Security Services, and to fight off the United States Army Special Forces.

Tyrant C - Similar to the T-103 (only appears in a non-canon minigame).

Nemesis-T Type - A T-103 used to host the NE-α parasite and retain higher level intelligence, an off-shoot of the Tyrant project. It was sent into Raccoon City to hunt and kill all surviving S.T.A.R.S. members. Killed by Jill Valentine.

Tyrant (T-103 Mass Produced Type) - A T-103 variant released by Alfred Ashford and killed by Claire Redfield. Despite its name and the apparent clarification that "T-078" refers to its batch number, this Tyrant seems to have been an experimental model and only one has been seen so far.

Tyrant R - A variation of the T-103, was released by Carter, absorbed by Nyx, defeated by David King and killed by Ada Wong.

Ivan - Highly intelligent T-103 variant able to integrate better into human society. Both were killed by Albert Wesker.

T-A.L.O.S. - Heavily armoured Tyrant outfitted with cybernetics and machinery. Killed by Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine.

Thanatos - Created by Greg Mueller as a more effective, unique Tyrant.

Tyrant 013: A model of Tyrant with a strong resemblance to the T-103 model that appeared in the Eastern Slav civil war. Identified only by the presence of the numbers 013 on the shoulder of one Tyrant, presumably a batch or model number.

^ Impressive. I knew they were all engineered from the T-Virus or offshoots of it, but I never knew they were all Tyrants. I remember the name "Mr. X", now.

I've never played a horror game that I thought was "too long". They're all so short.
If each mistake being made is a new one, then progress is being made.

On the flipside at least, most of them offer multiple endings and such so you at least have some incentive to play them multiple times.

Them being short is kinda nice, you can play through them in a single night or so.
