A big thank you to those who pointed out that there is a meaning behind HUNK's name:
Human Unit Never Killed.
Enjoy!
gochu bro
Actually, I don't think that's true. Just a fan theory.
he made it true
Huge Unleashed Naked Kock
@@Ligmaballin This is the true meaning from the original strategy guide
One of the cool things is in RE6 is Jake sates he was mentored by a mercenary with no name. It's speculated HUNK was the one who trained him. Makes sense when you think about Hunk's connection to Wesker and Umbrella as a whole. I'm wondering if he also received the Virus the Wesker children were injected with. It would help explain his superhuman durability, speed and strength. It makes sense for Umbrella to invest in a soldier who is literally named Human Unit Never Killed and never fails a mission.
BROOO, I never realised that Jake's mentor could be Hunk. It would make sense as well. There is a game in Capcom's leaked list named HUNK, so it would be VERY cool to see a game about him, especially because not much is known about him after RE 2. It is stated that after Umbrella's fall, he became a mercenary, which ties very neatly in the Jake's mentor theory.
I think keeping hunk a normal unmutated human would make his actions so much cooler
6 doesnt exist hopefully it is retconned
@@emadwolf10 Lore wise, yes, but man that game is so fun to play co-op, and Mercenaries is smooooooooth.
I don't think he was injected with the same stuff the Weskers were only because, according to lore, the Wesker project only had 2 successful candidates that survived, Alex and Albert.
I really want hunk to appear again in a mainline game with his own story. The guy is ridiculously cool and I really want more lore on him in general
The fact there is so little known about him, makes him cooler, so this is precarious
But I also think not having much about him makes him even cooler
@@Midnight_Wesker yeah it does make it cooler in a way but it also is just going to keep making fans like me just want more of him in general it will be a never-ending cycle until they either a butcher his character or be get his character right in some way if they ever do make him appear again with more lore attached to his next appearance
@@theguitarman5311 for sure
I’m just curious to know how much field experience he has before RE2. There was some theories stating that he could have been one of the children from the Wesker Project which I don’t think is likely since canonically only Albert and Alex survived.
Just love his design. That iconic 1980s SAS look was such a great choice for Hunk by Capcom.
Definitely agree. His look really adds to his appeal and his mysterious/badass vibe
His look is badass
Snappin' necks and cashin' checks!
Didn’t know it was the 80’s SAS gear. Good to know :))
Its not exacting fellas. Its ish. Its a bit more Americanized in re2 remake with the green pouches and dump pouch. The pasgat helmet really gives it an American look. Would love to see a modernized HUNK. Tho the guy could be in his mid to late 50s by now, not too old to be a shooter but getting there.
Hunk is in that weird character category where: he would not work as the main protagonist or even antagonist, but he IS the epitome of omega epic deuteragonist. It's like his presence itself is a cherry on top to the entirety of the lore but he is more active within it than mere fixed element of it.
Super well said! He's at work behind the scenes of one of the most important events in the entire franchise
He's like Itachi of RE series
I know I'm late to mention this but hunk did care for his team he told the extraction heli driver to leave for his safety also hunk too the blame for Martinez shooting Birkin. I just wanted to clear this up. He is very mission focused but he will do everything he can to keep his team alive
Hunk took the blame*
Hunk a featless that is only carried by his fans,
I always considered HUNK’s appearance in RE4’s “Mercenaries” mode as a canon appearance. He was there. Doing something. For someone . Behind-the-Scenes. As always. 🙂
That's what they should do in every game a playthrough with every monster at the end
Just his daily training.
maybe retrieving a sample of las plagas🫣
@@xMrFuzZyKitteH Probably what can we call as damage control. Backup documents and retrieve sample. Which explains why umbrellla have a lot of shit that they have done so many cases/outbreak. Because there's always that one duded they hire to retreive important stuff
HUNK is the type of character where less is more. I don't think he should get a full game to himself, maybe a short movie, but I think the best way forward for HUNK is to have him appear in Bonus Feature side-story modes like The 4th survivor in every game or every second game. They could make money making it a DLC and the fanbase would love having more content of him.
I actually agree with that. Some more modes like The 4th Survivor would be great
I don’t most new resident evil games are boring only thing that made me wanna play re2 was 4th survivor and forgotten soldier about ghost.. let people have something that isn’t focused on the annoying Ethan or typical Leon
I'd be willing to pay real money to have Separate Ways or Assignment: Ada-style side story in the next RE game. I love 4th Survivor, but it doesn't feel like it's quite enough time to spend with the character.
I agree. I think a lot of ppl miss that Ada and Hunk are both grey type characters. They arn't actual villains, just people with different motives. They don't ever have to make Hunk a hero, since that is against his character, and they should not make him a villain or else he woud be killed off eventually. Umbrella fell after RE2. Hunk was an Umbrella agent.
He was never depicted as part of the inner circle or upper management and more of a soldier. He likely survived rockfort island training grounds as a captive slave like others. If anything he might have animosity towards Umbrella, and could actively be fighting against them in his own anti hero way. But that is as far as his story should ever go.
He should definitely have his own game you’re crazy
HUNK definitely deserve his own game and he is literally the doomguy in the franchise of the game. He is and he will be my favorite character of all time.
I think him having his own game would end up being like Ada having her own game. Unless they drastically change their motivations qnd character after the 2make/4make they'd actively be working for the bad guys. It's kinda hard to root for the organizations trying to wipe out 99% of the population. I like him more as a side character that comes and goes frequently.
Hunk over gatsu? Nah g
My only opposition to him having his own game is that it would literally be a first or third person shooter completely void of any horror or survival because Hunk is just super bad ass and OP so there’s not going to be much of a dread of survival which is why he is perfect for mercenary mode and he should be an option in every mercenary mode of every game but I would not like his own standalone game as it just would not be resident evil unless they just remake 6 and give him his own chapters because that game was not resident evil at all it was just an action game lol
@@nerakar6562 shhhhh don't say remake 6 too loud. Capcom might hear you.
@@ehoffart529 re6 hater
He's not exactly a "Grim Reaper".
He's the one you send to kill the Grim Reaper.
Hunk is a man of focus, commitment and sheer freakin' will. Things most other Umbrella operatives know very little about.
Bro is John Wick
Nice reference
Baba yaga
Hunk vs John Wick???
@@TheRealAdaWong well spoken critique?? He just used lines from a movie 😂😂😂
I love the interactions with him alongside Rachael and Chris in Revelations raid mode.
Rachael: "pleased to work with you Dr. Death"
HUNK: "you wouldn't be if you knew how I got that name."
Chris: "this is our first time working together right?"
HUNK: ". . ."
😂
I think HUNK may have been a founding member of the BSAA.
He's a sociopathic mercenary who's main motivation is a combat kink. Of course he'd relish the chance to jump into the zombie-killing business with some of the best in that field.
Same thing goes with the wolfpack as well as Carlos. The paramilitaries are mercenaries at fundament.
@@allengordon6929 He isn't, though he has been contracted by the BSAA for training. He's also not sociopathic as far as we know. Just single-mindedly focused on completing his mission. So, at worst, he's detached.
I'd love to see a DLC starring Hunk where he has to go into zones and wipe out the remaining monsters in places that the Resident Evil characters were in. The ruins of Raccoon, the Village from RE 4, Wesker's African base, etc.
Just an idea.
That's an incredible thought. Just visiting Raccoon City again in ruins would bring the chills
@@funmylife9248 I do think at some point, we will return to Raccoon City. The ruins, anyway.
@@mywifesboyfriend5558 I really hope so. That would be incredible to revisit
That's kinda what i originally the Not a Hero dlc for 7 was gonna do,i still think it would've worked in a cleanup crew sense instead of chris.
@@forestcampbell8962 Yeah I agree with that. Something of that size would work great with HUNK
They're probably shy about giving HUNK his own RE game because every time he's involved, it's always some high discipline corporate warfare-feeling vibes and fans probably feel like that interferes with the horror feel. HUNK is a badass and his fanbase deserves to be accommodated but the taste for HUNK is just probably too niche for the huge camp of more fairweather fans whose opinions likely decide the direction for the next RE project.
Hes getting his own game it has been leaked 😂
@@pyroplays2017you got a source for this? That sounds cool
@@pyroplays2017 It was cancelled.
I agree, characters like Ada, HUNK, and Krauser fall under the corporate and industrial themes of Umbrella and black market pharmaceuticals.
They’re called in to clean up, erase, or further improve the nuances of Umbrella’s “fallout” because even though the company doesn’t formally exists any longer, characters like these still depict that there is indeed ongoing corporate rivalry afoot through their perspectives.
Honestly, I think there's enough fans of the character, and other characters in the series, that giving him his own game that's more action, less survival horror wouldn't be considered a bad move.
What feds into HUNK's status in the RE community. Is that HUNK's constant appearance in RE: Bonus Modes as a monetary or late game unlock. With conditions such as get good rank as a requirement. It adds to his status and value.
HUNK is an acronym for "Human Unit Never Killed."
It is rare how despite how other characters get new voices and actors. HUNK has the luxury of keeping his Voice consistent. The VA being Keith Silverstein. He's been voicing HUNK since RE:Mercenaries 3D.
HUNK also appeared in the videogame Lost Planet 3 with custom voice lines in a character pack of DLC.
That's some good trivia!
Great Q pfp. He always sorta reminded me of HUNK a little bit.
He also sort of appears in Dead by Daylight, as a skin for The Legion.
Fun Fact: Lost Planet 3 is another Capcom's Mastepiece
@@sneakygamer627 I only played the first one, but I know a lot of people like that series. My top 2 Capcom franchises are DMC and RE
I think the funniest part of that cutscene with Hunk trying to take in Birkin is that Martinez killing Birkin is described as a snafu, like I've only ever heard snafu used for little mistakes and errors, not brutally shooting a man because you thought he had a gun
Right? 😂
They were gonna shoot him anyway they didn't think he was gonna inject himself with G-virus that was the "snafu" or the fact T-virus vials got broken. If everything went right, Umbrella would have been ironically heroes
Ngl to me an Elite Soldier on Corporate's payroll shooting a non-compliant scientists sounds like Tuesday to those guys, so I have to agree with SNAFU. Also Birkin had a gun.
Tmk snafu generally is short for situation normal all effed up so it would fit in the case of killing an intended capture target
However, if you look closely, near the briefcase you can see the silhouette of a handgun when Birkin lies dead.
As much as I love playing as and seeing Hunk, I prefer not having a whole game designed around him. I feel like it takes away from his purpose, this unkillable character without any real information known other than he's a badass and is almost always the only one that comes out the door
I get that. I hope we at least get a mode like he got in RE2
EXACTLY LESS IS MORE
It could be like Republic Commandos where there’s basically no story except the mission you’re on
Backstory would be the probkem
Nah I would love a Hunk game, there's ways to make a badass character that you only know little about. For instance Benicio Del Toros Alejandro in Sicario is a amazing character that also seems unkillable and the last person you want coming after you but we only know that he was a prosecutor in Mexico that had a wife and daughter killed by the cartel, he then offered his services to the CIA and rival cartels and became a highly efficient killer
@@StonedCabbage Never thought I'd read this on a comment about HUNK, but I follow 😳😂
I think what makes Hunk so interesting is just how little we know about him. I definitely think he should show up more often, just not as a main character
Definitely agree. Preserving the mysterious quality of HUNK is part of what makes him so special. I hope we get some more modes featuring him, though
@Rationale Decay Nah, because if you have HUNK as boss fight, you'll lose all mystery and cool factor about him, because you beat him. He's better as NPC, because you literally know nothing about him. In RE universe, I'll rather take my chances with BOW then having to encounter HUNK, because all BOW and enemies die, HUNK always survives. That's how he got his nicknames.
@@J.J.Jameson_of_Daily_Bugle @njmfff Maybe it could still work if Hunk is an unbeatable boss. Something like how Darth Vader was used in Star Wars: Fallen Order.
@@J.J.Jameson_of_Daily_Bugle Maybe a boss fight with HUNK wouldn’t end with you beating him, but rather just you escaping him somehow. It would still keep the unbeatable aspect of him while still having a epic boss fight.
I'm HUNK
HUNK is the only character in the series that ends up being more Chad than Chris and Leon. Only dude whose Testosterone outperforms Chris and Leon’s and that’s a testament in itself. I really hope there is a HUNK game one day. Human Unit Never Killed aka GigaChad Maximus.
Before this remake I would have agreed with you. I still do BUT the difference is not nearly as impressive this time. If a zombie so much as looks at Leon, he flinches. Brush shoulders with one? Leon will nearly fall over and stagger 3 feet the other way. Trying to knife someone to death? They'll just waltz on through it like you're using a plastic olive stick.
Disagree, no one can hold a candle to the rock punching immortal Chris Redfield. 😂😂😂😂
@@songmoua9389 chris will forever be the god
@@songmoua9389Boulders shake in fear at the presence of Chris.
@@songmoua9389 Chris just gets bigger and bigger with each new game lol
If I remember correctly, HUNK means "Human Unit Never Killed" which makes him so badass after all these years
Great name!
It doesn’t, besides all humans breathing have never been killed >.>
Nope, that's just something a fan made up.
@@Midnight_x_Sin I love that 🤣
Made up or not it’s badass and totally fitting.
i love it when hunk said "its hunking time!" and proceeded to hunk. truly a hunk moment
100% HUNK
Resident evil sold Hunktillion copies
HUNK's identity should remain a mystery because that's what makes him cool and interesting. If they do put him in future installments any background information about him should be drip fed to the audience. He's like the Ganado merchant in RE4. You don't need to know everything about him.
Exactly. Well said 💯
I would like a game focused around him but refuses to open up his origins. Just backround, or connections in the timeline, like training Jake or cleaning up RCPD's mess after the credits roll.
What appeal to me with Hunk is that we don't really see his face. Also character who have their face covered always have a mystique to them, like "Super hero" with super human ability as we can't see their emotion and instead we see their action that speak loudly that they are skilled.
Sorta like those SAS soldiers that fought in the Iranian Embassy who rescued the hostages while wearing a gasmask
His face has been shown like 3 times in multiple games though
Like Ghost from COD.
@@qlcrane8019 which games?? This is new to me and I'm the biggest RE fan.
@@DonYoGi8331 Or as everyone say this, Boba Fett of RE lore.
@@DonYoGi8331 I think in original re2 there is a still screen image of him and then the other places its shown were I think in operation raccoon city. I am not 100% sure because I only know the mainline games and the side games are a mist
My best guess is HUNK is currently working for Blue Umbrella, some other PMC or even the US government. His skills and experience would be invaluable to such organizations, and considering the shady stuff we learn about the BSAA from RE Village he may even be with them. Much like Leon who was forced to join the secret service after Raccoon because of his experience figthing bioweapons, it would not surprise me if he's leading similiar task forces or carrying out black operations for private corperations. Hopefully we learn more about Blue Umbrella and the BSAA in the next game, capcom keeps throwing out bait and switch twists which never seem to be expanded.
I wonder if HUNK was potentially genetically enhanced by Umbrella after showing incredible promise during training. Or maybe he was just incredibly naturally skilled.
Could be. I like to think he was just naturally gifted, but who knows? The mystery behind the guy is definitely compelling
probably skilled cuz no one else is like him
@@kriss4882maybe both
Dear, sweet JESUS, what I wouldn't give for a PROPER (touchscreen) keyboard that ACTUALLY TYPES PROPERLY...
I'm not illiterate, I graduated with honours, but these DAMNED things keep puttting emoji's & shit in there/eciting my replies when not mis-spelling what I type/entering characters I didn't even HIT...
GOD, this SUCKS...great vid tho~
I thought the same .... would be cool if he was the first to accept and be enhanced by the progenitor virus. Maybe his mother was affected and from the flowers location, gave birth to Hunk and adopted by Umbrella.
There’s well trained characters throughout the games, there’s Bio-Weapons, there’s the literal protagonists of the games, and then there’s Hunk.
Edit: Another thing I like about Hunk is that despite his reputation, he’s team oriented. Despite being pissed at his subordinate for killing William Birkin, he doesn’t make that distinction when he calls it in. “We’re in, sir. We had a snafu, target resisted, we had to take him out.”
Yeah I like HUNK's demeanor and sense of duty to not only see the mission out to success, but to also support his team, even when things clearly go wrong
Always liked how Hunk covered for his team when he shot dr. Birkin, what a man
For real. You can sense the frustration in him, but he's got nerves of steel, soldiering on ahead solely focused on the mission
We absolutely need a HUNK game. I’d love to see some more of his story fleshed out.
Plenty of hunk lore already
I feel like his whole appeal is he’s the umbrella badass on the side
@@larserik8899 exactly, would be the same scenario like the Halo tv show, a.k.a. show too much and ruin the character
Yeah, I prefer hunk being how he is. Everybody loves him so much so why change what he is in the games.
the original RE3 was going to be about him (the concept was slightly revisited with RE:REVELATIONS). so there's definitely a debt with him.
The only think I knew of HUNK,
was that he came back from every mission.
His legendary status got started because he's the only one who came back from assignments that were garonteed certain death.
It even spooked the government, that's why he's so mysterious.
HUNK is the guy you send in,
when it's too late to send anyone else.
His specialty is recovering by any means.
I've literally found myself smiling and crying in joy as in the RE4 remake HUNK descendend from the helicopter, geared up and said his famous quote:
"It's HUNKIN time!"
And then hunked all over the place
I know right, best final boss a main story campaign has ever had!!!
What I liked about hunk is his potential to be a villain with him being just as capable as our cast of protagonists
I definitely agree. He is every bit as capable as any of the RE protagonists
him being a villain would be so cool but i don’t know if i could live with having to kill him 😭
@@Sarahsqueak Yeah, I would definitely not want to do that
@@funmylife9248 i'd love to see HUNK as an antagonist who the MC/s of a future game have to defeat, but either "defeating" HUNK mostly comes down to "survive HUNK and then get the hell out" or else he seems to be dead but the post-credits stinger is him emerging from some hellhole having not only survived yet again but gone on to do something important again off-screen and succeeded at it. he's the kind of character where practically anything short of showing his head literally explode or getting launched into the sun or thrown into a volcano and shot multiple times with a rocket launcher still leaves you thinking "yeah, i definitely buy that he's still around" rather than it feeling cheap or like a stretch. not QUITE just another tuesday for HUNK, but it's still gonna take more than that to bring down the grim reaper.
OR a situation where things go wild and HUNK is actually a badass semi-ally we have to work with temporarily because at this point whatever his mission was has changed to "stop the apocalypse again" and that's already what we were doing anyway. so every so often throughout a game, HUNK does some insane thing nearby, or offers fire support, etc
@@MalkuthSephira Really like your first scenario. That would be pretty chilling, fighting him while he takes on an antagonistic role!
In terms of DnD alignments, I consider HUNK to be Lawful Neutral.
He doesn't care about good or evil.
He only cares about the mission, and he'll make it through no matter the cost.
Completely agree. All that matters is to see the mission through to completion
What I like about Capcom is that they actually listen to the player-base/fans. So if there is enough clamor for a stand-alone game featuring HUNK, it will most definitely happen. The tricky part is... how will it be done? It would be hard to make a survival horror game when the center of it is the guy you send to kill the grim reaper.
Yeah, therein lies the problem with a potential HUNK game
Just make DOOM with a resident evil overlay
@@joshuacain9845 Right?
Make Chris a bad guy Hunk has to kill.
Just do it like the original RE4, leon there was a giga chad doing some crazy shit but it still was a survival horror. The only thing is that hunk would be dead serious the whole time
I honestly would love just a very action based spin off Resident Evil that stars HUNK.
Same here. That fits HUNK the best
Surround him with enemies a just showcase the combat I feel billy from re 0 could have a good game if him an Rebecca get another game
@@dmowalk.tv86 Agreed
I hope Hunk will eventually get a storybased dlc where you play him thought the different operations he has been on
I would love that. That would be so cool
We need a hunk game. He deserves his own story
Definitely 💯
I'm a bit torn on Hunk. On one hand it's rather compelling to see some more of him in the future, but his aura of mysteriousness is also one of his biggest pros compared to other characters. You don't know much about it, but when you see him you know it's something important, so yeah ... Maybe another side DLC or something like that, but nothing too major I'd say.
I agree with that. I think having a side chapter featuring HUNK would be great, as its brevity won't disrupt the allure he's established
I always liked the character Hunk. He’s cold, emotionless, serious and no bs kind of guy.
Right? Great to see that here in RE
Hunk is a prime example of if it ain't broke don't fix it. Meaning as much as a whole game sounds nice I like him better as he is....... mysterious......and badass
Definitely agree with that. I'd like to see more of HUNK, but a lot of his appeal is his brevity in appearances
I love how Hunk said ''WE had to take him out'', even after a screwup like that, he wouldnt expose one of his fellow soldiers.
From this perspective, Umbrella doesn’t seem as evil as I initially thought. They genuinely knew the danger of this virus and wanted to shut it down (or at least, contain it better so that stuff like RE2 wouldn’t happen).
If Berkin listened, the. RE2 probably wouldn’t have happened. Also if he did get brought in alive (which is what umbrella wanted), it wouldn’t have happened.
I agree as well. If Birkin would have complied, I'm sure the events would be completely different and perhaps the city would still be around
In media where great powers are at play and people possess abilities beyond what is possible, it is always the normal guy who's just REALLY good at their job that's the coolest.
Absolutely.
I love when he said "Its Hunking time" and started to Hunk everyone in the room
Really good RE lore video. Surprisingly hard to condense all this stuff into a coherent short video but this is it.
Thanks a lot! Had a blast making this one
HUNK is also available as a DLC character for Resident Evil Revelations 1 and 2 both iterations are stupidly OP AF.
He's given a Special Stealth Camo mode that rivals Solid Snakes from Metal Gear. As well as a disposable Fold out Rocket launcher that skill that deals absurd damage. Load out consists of an Shotgun, Magnum, and SMG dealing the most damage. He can also equip certain snipers like the Muramasa and the Special AR Golden Ak-47, both dealing tremendous damage in their respective weapon classes. HUNK is also the only one capable of instant killing certain mini-bosses with stun animations.
Yeah I loved using him in those Raid modes
I really love the 90s OSS Black Ops look, it's so iconic that I'm really struggling to think of a military/paramilitary look more memorable from such a short-lived period of time.
All black cargo gear, German style riot helmet, ruby lensed gas mask, HK MP5K and Glock handgun.
It's so generic but so awesome. The only thing I would say is missing is the Splinter Cell-like drop down emerald night vision goggles.
Ghost from Call of Duty had a cool look but there is just so much more to it, this is simple and effective.
I can't wait for a game just for hunk about his story because damn he's been around just as long as Chris and Leon I believe always treated as a "side mission character"
Completely agree. I can't wait for the day we get more HUNK
One thing to bear in mind with hunk we question why he's so powerful but it may also be why he's always covered in gear a zombie hybrid.
He is so badass that in the classic RE2, after completing the run, you get a ending screen with Hunk eating shabu shabu tofu on the helicopter.
Right? 😂The man's got good taste
Must be terrifying to share a planet with hunk
He is one of my absolute favorite RE characters, and is the Boba Fett of the RE franchise. Little is known (prior to the Star Wars spin off shows), and is a total badass. I want more HUNK, and would love to see him as a story protagonist, maybe even as the badass soldier cleanup character at the end of the game. I also love that he incorporated Jazz Hands into his fighting style.
Right? I'd love to see HUNK get more screen time in the series
I can never get over Hunk's little finger waggle after snapping a zombies neck
Never gets old 💯
I'd love to see a mainline game, maybe even RE9, where he's working as a mercenary unknown to the rest of the world or the main cast despite being such an important figure
“This is war, survivals your responsibility.”
“Why’d you come back?”
*“I wanted to meet the grim reaper.”*
HUNK's codename means Human, Unit, Not/Never, Killed
@marynavvra That is correct!!!❤ I think OG RE fans are the ones that know this. 😅😂 Glad I am not alone?!
@@kelta24 I feel bad not knowing that😂 and I'm a OG, RE1 on PS1 player.
I am an OG fan and I know that this has no basis in the lore, it's just a very old meme. You won't find any in-game source with that info.
Did you give him the name Wesker?
@@daniels8145 😎
Imagine a future RE game spin-off where we're introduced to a mysterious badass protagonist in hiding. Trying to live a retired life only to be accidentally involved on Umbrella, Neo-Umbrella, or whatever evil company at large from the timeline of RE4-RE8. We'll play as that character and slowly love him like Ethan in RE7... And when we're nearing the end game or even mid-game. We'll soon realize we're playing HUNK while he wears his iconic full gear. The reveal could even be just in the end cut scene so we can replay the game in full costume after we unlocked it from finishing the first playthrough.
That would be an epic reveal! Sign me up for that!
I hope they make a game based on Hunk bcuz he definitely gives a John wick vibe in the RE Universe a guy that survives in unsurvivable situations although mainly other character have gone through such experiences I think hunk would be different than other characters like Leon and Chris etc
Definitely agree
Going back to 98 and then on. Playing the Hunk missions and beating them were a big bragging right for me and my friends. I loved those missions way more than the Tofu mission. I never beat that part.
Classic mode right there
Hunk would be an interesting possibility as a midgame antagonist. Let's say he was sent to get something you have. Could spend a chapter trying to lure him into traps and avoid him, maybe kill all his squadmates until he finally catches you , grabs the mcguffin and just walks off since killing you isn't in the mission parameters. This could then set off the third act of whatever story the game is actually about.
I would love to see Hunk on what he's doing now since Raccoon City, CANONICALLY!. All his other appearances have always been non-canon side stuff like Mercenaries and Revelation's Siege mode or whatever it was called.
I have seen so many people see HUNK for the first time and say, verbatim: "That's just a normal guy" "But he's just really good at what he does".
So a buffer then normal man punching a boulder and a pretty boy who roundhouse kicks zombies are completely out of the ordinary but a soldier with glowing red eyes who does Spooky Fingers after snapping some necks is just a normal man?
I'm guessing his armor took inspiration from the Kerberos Panzer Cops from Wolf Brigade (you see renditions of that armor in other games as well). Coolest looking armor in all of media to me honestly. Hunk as a member of the Wolf Brigade would've been 🔥🔥🔥
I think hunk should be in more games, but that he should still not have much explained about him in them. I think my favorite thing about hunk is how in revelations two his finisher for grounded opponents isn't a simple stomp or stab. Instead he draws his sidearm and unloads 3 rounds into their skull before carrying on.
I definitely agree. I'd love to see him in more games but he also needs to maintain that mysterious quality to him. I think "The Fourth Survivor" mode was excellent in RE2. Although I prefer a slightly longer mode for HUNK, having some side mode featuring HUNK in future games would be fun to see
Underrated character in Resident Evil lore. He needs a significant mainline appearance!!
Right? I'd love to see more from this guy in some future games
i loved the part where he said "its hunking time" and hunked all over the place
Hunk is the character RE loves to have their fans forget about, for him to return again and again and blow everyone away. I'm assuming he's a bit old in the new games and wouldn't appear in RE9. That being said, if he ever did reappear as an old man, I will be so fucking ready
I think one thing missed from this is the files in Resident Evil 7 from the Chris game mode . Umbrella Inthink was acquired by BSAA and turned into some sort of extra contingent which meant all umbrella staff and contractors were inducted so essentially HUNK could be working with the BSAA or with Chris
Fun fact: in RE4 merc mod HUNK was origanaly spouse to have a knife just like leon but since the knife can stuns enemys and HUNK can one shot stund enemys with his neck snap they took it away so he wouldnt turn the game in to an easy breeze
They need to make a RE series that's only about him going throughout his life prior to him being an operative to him being in service all the way to RE2 and onward but strictly his pov. That has to be the only character that has the perspective of everything that's happened in RE that hasn't or will die that is so cool to play as.
That would be great!
I'd love a standalone game featuring Hunk and maybe one other character but have the story focused on said specific mission rather than his past. Leave Hunks past to the imagination since that special unknown feels more unique
Yeah, I definitely agree with that
This guy need its own game, come on. We want to play as the badass mr. Grim
Chuck Norris had a poster of HUNK in his bedroom when he was a teenager
Didn’t even know HUNK was a character in the games.
They wear ncr ranger helmets, that’s how you know they’re good
12:03 HUNK: i tried to name it just CQC but the name was already register.
😂
Hunk was the only successful supersoldier attempt umbrella was able to make. He went up against Wesker in code Veronica and was about even with him. However Wesker was able to get the upper hand in the end.
RE8 had the BSAA sending bioweapon soldiers as a plot
So might be cool to see Hunk in RE9 involved with blue umbrella with Chris or something
That's a good thought!
The "never k!lled" is a bit redundant. If you encounter the guy and he's breathing, the "N.K." is already implied.
HUNK's name is actually acronym .
Human Unit Never Killed H.U.N.K. it is mentioned at one point that HUNK's original name is Luke mentioned by "Goblin 6".
It's kinda crazy how little he has been in resident evil while also being supper well regarded amongst re fans
Right? Definitely the mystery behind him plays into that
Wesker:wesking
H.U.N.K.:Hunking
Man I would liked to have seen in the live action resident evil movie imagine in the 2 movie being the only umbrella employee to walk out unscathed, bummer indeed
I've always believed that the agent in RE6 was HUNK, I mean the fighting style and design are basically the same! We were very disappointed when we found that during Ada's campaign co-op he was just there with no tie to the story whatsoever. Playing him in the mercenary mode was actually a blast.
I felt the same way in RE6!
His codename HUNK actually stands for Human Unit Never Killed. He was given that codename cause he was the only one who would survive.
It actually doesn't. That is fan made
@@KyleDevy fan made or not that sounds badass so it's sticking with me.
@@dom7753 okay, lol
So was Birkin technically the villain all along? Tragic villain but caused the tragedy of Raccoon city
I mean, yes, but no, but yes, but no.
he was a researcher who was killed accidently for his research. he turned into G to save himself. He was always morally questionable but yes, he is still a Villain
@@Jonathan2342 No what ifs about it he was a mad scientist. Other peoples lives never mattered much if any to him compared to his research.
@@enyaliosares4301 The best answer ever. You deserve a like.👍
@@RandoLePerson Hunk literally says that they were supposed to take Birkin in alive. Alpha team member shot William when he either pulled or looked like he was about to pull the gun, which he wasn’t supposed to do and seemingly wasn’t in line with their training as only one team member shot him, not the whole team. By that definition it would be accidental.
I think Hunk probably just retired with that sweet umbrella money.
Definitely a likely possibility
Me literally trying out Hunk's CQBZ's neck snap and grabs to some intoxicated guys out on the streets of my town, really worth it
Keeping the peace in town! Love it
Isn't Hunk already a legend when all the main protagonists of Resident evil series are rookies now all the original protagonists are OP now i doubt how much powerful he must have become as his whole life revolves around BOW missions.
Such a legend
Why hasn't this guy had his own game, c'mon Capcom let's make it happen!!!
YES!
Hunk is the Resident Evil's version of Boba Fett.
💯
No he's not. HUNK is actually cool.
@@Richterdgf Boba Fett is cool too he's just there for a bit then he's gone. Hunk should have been a main stay in the Mercenaries Mode but he's not in RE5 or RE6.
@@Richterdgf Has Hunk ever killed a Jedi?
Except useful.
Hunk is his u.s.s.f. call sign or code name so probably his commanding officer just gave it to him and since hunk so badass no one else will ever have the hunk name in umbrella.
Hunk is resident evils boba fett. Mysterious, not a lot of screen time. Looks cool AF
I think Capcom have a good opportunity here to make Hunk's own game...that would be sick.
Absolutely agree
Hunk and Leon will be most powerful duo _😫_
Have they ever been a duo?
@@chaoticstarfish3401 no, they're technically enemies
@@Sgt_Kane Yeah that's what I thought.
Chris / Hunk teamup would be awesome.
Hunk and Leon won't even come close to the rock punching immortal god Chris Redfield.😂😂😂😂
Fun Fact: Hunk earned the nickname "The Grim Reaper" back in 68' when he served in Vietnam. When the zombie apocalypse happened, he put on his first gas mask and started waging a war on the Undead Vietcong, under the alias "Jungle Jim"
Props if you get this reference
God those comics were so good.
Everyone is gangster until HUNK walks in
I just love how at 10:20 Hunk and T. just walk past each other like it's just a normal day in the office.
For real 😂
The best part of Hunk was when he said "ITS HUNKIN TIME" and Hunked all over the place
would be fun to have more game featuring hunk HELL even a game were hunk is the protagonist
I would LOVE that
I’ve just always been more fascinated with the corporate, industrial, and corrupt themes that HUNK and Ada depict in Resident Evil.
HUNK’s perspective showed us more of what Umbrella was willing to facilitate in order to clean up their mess, and how their paramilitary units were conducted.
While Ada usually narrates the larger conspiracy and shows insight as to how corporate rivalries and play into Umbrella’s downfall by beseeching their work.
Without their stories, fans would still have no clue as to how Umbrella became the dominating company, even after their “downfall”
Would love to see them in a Raccoon City inspired scenario where we just see rival organizations trying to compete with one another instead of focusing on the survivors’ perspective.
Good perspective on the two characters. You definitely say it best. The two characters give some nice perspective to Umbrella and its standing
you can play hunk and an "lady Hunk" version, in the Co-op/Non Story Mode of RE Revelations as well. ^^
The way HUNK wiggles his fingers after the neck snapping move is just... DAAAAMN
What a BOSS
I like it when Hunk says “It’s hunk time!” And start hunking’d around the place
ayo xD
that's my daily routine man
💯
🥱
🤦♂️
