I'd say Mandarin. In some interpretations, his origin story is a mess. It tries to blend a lot of different elements but doesn't do it well. It ends up being this hodgepodge of ideas that don't really come together to create a coherent and engaging backstory for the character.
For me, Taskmaster's origin story is rather underwhelming. He's a character with a cool concept of being able to mimic fighting styles, but his origin doesn't really explore how he got to that point in a very interesting way. It just kind of tells you he has this ability, but not much about the journey or the circumstances that led to it.
Doctor Strange's origin story stands out. Stephen Strange is a brilliant but arrogant neurosurgeon. After a car accident ruins his hands, he travels the world in search of a cure. He eventually finds the Ancient One and begins his training in the mystic arts. His journey from a self - assured doctor to a powerful sorcerer is full of twists and turns. He has to unlearn his old ways and embrace a new reality filled with magic, dimensions, and otherworldly threats.
Final Fantasy X - 2. The story was a sequel to Final Fantasy X but it had a very different tone. It focused a lot on the female characters in a rather fan - servicey way at times. The plot about finding Yuna's lost love was a bit too simplistic and didn't have the grandeur and depth that many expected from a Final Fantasy story. It was also criticized for straying too far from the more serious and epic nature of its predecessor.
Well, Venom has a pretty bad origin story. Eddie Brock was a journalist who lost his job and reputation because of Spider - Man. He then bonded with an alien symbiote out of revenge. His origin is based on jealousy and a desire for vengeance rather than any positive ideals, which makes it a rather unappealing origin story for a so - called superhero.
In my opinion, the origin story of Electro in some versions could be considered one of the worst. His transformation often seems a bit too rushed and not fully fleshed out. He just gets zapped by some electricity and suddenly becomes this 'villain with electric powers' without much depth to his character development before that point.
I think Thor has a great origin story. He is a god from Asgard, banished to Earth for his arrogance. On Earth, he learns humility and what it means to be a true hero. His origin story is filled with grandeur, with the magnificent Asgardian setting and his family drama. It gives a whole new dimension to the MCU by introducing the world of gods and magic.
I think Diablo III has a strong case for having a great story. The plot is more streamlined compared to Diablo II. It focuses on the battle against Diablo once again. The story has a good balance between action and narrative. The addition of new characters like Tyrael in his mortal form adds an interesting dynamic to the story. And the different acts take you through various interesting landscapes in the Diablo universe.
I think 'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2' has an excellent story. It has a great balance between action - packed missions and a deep - rooted plot. The characters like Soap and Price are iconic, and their relationships add depth to the story. The story takes you on a wild ride from one intense situation to another, whether it's infiltrating enemy bases or engaging in large - scale battles.
My top pick for Dickens' best is 'A Tale of Two Cities'. The opening line alone is iconic, and the story is full of drama and historical context. Second best would be 'Oliver Twist' for its heart - wrenching tale of an orphan. 'The Pickwick Papers' is also quite enjoyable. As for the worst, I'd say 'Barnaby Rudge'. It's not as well - known and seems a bit less engaging compared to his other works, but it still has that Dickensian flavor.
I would say it's Captain America. Steve Rogers was just an ordinary guy with a strong sense of right and wrong. He was constantly bullied but still held onto his ideals. When he got the chance to become a super - soldier, he didn't use his new powers for personal gain. Instead, he dedicated his life to fighting for freedom and justice. His selfless acts during World War II and his ability to adapt to a completely different world after being frozen for so long are truly inspiring.
Resident Evil: Revelations has a cool story. The story takes place on a ship filled with all sorts of bio - organic horrors. The mystery surrounding the events on the ship, the relationships between the characters, and the revelations (as the name suggests) about the bigger Resident Evil plot make it a great addition to the series. The dual - character gameplay with Parker and Jessica also adds depth to the storytelling.
