The 10 Most Useless Characters In Lego Games

“Lego Star Wars” series (2005-) Why do we have to pick on the Gonk Droid when we got dudes like Chancellor Palpatine and the PK Droid running around? Those dudes are just as useless! Well, the Gonk Droid is just an absolute joke of a character. Come on, Jabba the Hutt is more mobile than this! And we get it - it’s only there for the lols because of how useless it is. It’s not a character for speedrunning levels or grabbing every Minikit. Still, those three thousand studs were best left in our wallets. At least the Gonk Droid is looking a bit more speedy in “Skywalker Saga”.

“Lego Pirates of the Caribbean” (2011) “Lego Pirates” surprisingly doesn’t have too many characters one could throw away. Even the generic Tattoo Pirate has some utility with his super strength. The Ancient Sailor, on the other hand, is a walking fee. On the surface, he’s nothing more than an old dude with a fish. However, he is a requirement to unlock the Bottle Finder Red Hat. No other character wields an ancient fish except for him. Problem is that in addition to the four hundred thousand studs you’ll need to pay for the Red Hat, you’ll need an additional hundred thousand just to unlock the Ancient Sailor. Why not just make the Red Hat an easy five hundred thousand? Why must we jump through the extra hoop?

“Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2” (2017) Now, we can understand Jay’s inclusion in the first “Lego Marvel Super Heroes”. After all, you can’t have a huge celebration of everything Marvel without including the angriest journalist in New York City. But did we really need him back in “Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2”? Sure, he only costs a measly ten thousand studs. Still, all he does is chuck papers and punches. [show angry shout ability] …Okay, that was kind of funny. At least that’s something new.

“Lego Marvel Super Heroes” (2013) Yeah, Jay had some use in the first “Lego Marvel Super Heroes”, even if it was just for comic relief. You want to talk about a complete lack of value? Feast your eyes on Damage Control. Yes, you can play as the various construction crew looking guys that give you side missions and act as background characters for most of the game. They also do absolutely nothing and offer no real incentive to play as them. You’d think they could put in some work and fix machines, but we’d just switch over to Tony Stark before we choose…DAMAGE CONTROL. Damage Control | LEGO Marvel Superheroes Wiki | Fandom

“Lego The Incredibles” (2018) Look, we love Pixar movies as much as the next guy. Running around as Woody, Flik, and WALL-E is great and all. Unfortunately, Junior is kind of the bottom of the barrel. We understand why he’s in here - he’s the Pixar mascot. He’s a part of the logo we see at the start of every Pixar movie. Of course he needs to be in something like “Lego The Incredibles”! Thing is that he doesn’t offer much in terms of gameplay. He fights, he summons the Pixar ball, and that’s about it. He doesn’t jump high. He can’t climb ladders. He can’t operate vehicles. Junior is very much a novelty character.

“Lego Batman: The Video Game” (2008) The first “Lego Batman” featured a hearty helping of the Dark Knight’s enemies from Joker and Penguin to Killer Croc and Mad Hatter. While we can understand the enjoyment in making generic goons playable, we gotta wonder about the Yeti. This dude spends a whole level stuck in frozen ice cream and doesn’t appear again for the rest of the game. Perhaps he’s one of the secret god-tier characters that wields a ton of ultra-powerful abilities? Nope. It’s a Yeti. With a gun. …Alright, maybe there’s some enjoyment to be had here, but this is all you get. That’s it. Goodbye, nine thousand studs.

10 Lego Games With The Best Roster Of Characters

“Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy” (2006) In a game where blasters and laser swords can mean life or death, there is one man who will fail to stop any and all who oppose him - Bib freakin’ Fortuna! Really, this has to be the most pointless unlockable character in all of the “Lego Star Wars” games. All he can do, besides fight with his fists, is access Bounty Hunter areas. He doesn’t get rockets, thermal detonators, not even a blaster! Just fists. This guy was Jabba’s right-hand man. He also tried to kill Jabba himself! We see why he failed so miserably. Max Rebo would have served as an excellent substitute.

“The Lego Movie Videogame” (2014) President Business is an incredibly powerful villain, especially when he goes power-crazy with the crazy glue, er–KRAGLE. However, if you want to play as THAT version of President Business, make sure you buy LORD Business. PRESIDENT Business just takes all the fun away. There are no flaming mug horns, tie capes, or escalating shoes here. All you get is Business in his most basic form. He jumps. He fights. Nothing more. And he costs a million studs. What a waste of good money.

“Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues” (2009) Speaking of wastes of good money, “Lego Indiana Jones 2” was already a frustrating experience being a rehash of a game that launched the year before. As if it wasn’t bad enough reminding us of “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”, the Interdimensional Being winds up being the most worthless character in the whole game. For a whopping ONE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND STUDS, you get to use the Crystal Skull and repel ants! Oxley does the same thing, and we unlocked him in the story. That said, the Interdimensional Being is totally worthless, even with invincibility.
