I mean generic.

Max Payne, any GTA character, Kane and Lynch etc. Any game that just has a normal human person is hard to portray as an icon. Especially in a world where the real icons are eiither faceless ( Masterchief ) or catooned up. For example Link although a person dresses radically different than jeans and tshirt. Or suit. Or jacket. Link looks iconic.

Marcus Phonenix is a bit different. Because the character stands out. Muscle overload. Thick armour, etc. Its alot more memorable and iconic.

I never remember characters that are plain after finising the game unitl the neext title is announced unless the character looked radically different from the guy next door.


You're telling me this guy isn't wasn't an icon back in the day?

I can guaranteed you that a relatively large amount of people would have recognized him. Even if they couldn't draw him

Hell no. He wasnt. The games were the icon. Not the character. Vastly different from Mario.
