My first choice was Seto Kaiba but Char Aznable is more fitting. For Scorpio life is a game of chess, who are constantly plotting several steps ahead in order to orchestrate an eventual checkmate.
The masked Red Comet has had five different names been on the heroes and villains side as well as create his own faction, he always manipulated every side he was on, the fact he's a newtype as well gives him the extra ability of clairvoyance and was only stopped by someone on his level.
Christina Was Wasted Potential
In Loran's article, I mentioned that Gundam will finally have it's first female protagonist but I can imagine anyone who reads this with high Gundam knowledge will bring up Christina Mackenzie. Kind of a poor example and I'll tell you why.
In the War in the Pocket OVA, Christina is the test pilot for the prototype Gundam Alex intended to be a replacement for Amuro Ray's OG Gundam, while Christina's history indicates a pretty good background in the military, she's not really there for combat purposes, and she's also not really the lead character, that honour is either Bernard Wiseman the Zeon pilot sent to destroy the Alex or Alfred, the kid who takes in Bernard.
Christina is also a girl next door type, nice and pleasant but not really screaming main character material although she ranked better than Emma Sheen, Roux Louka and Elle Vianno among women who actually pilot Gundams but loses out to non pilots, villains and anyone with the name Elpeo Ple, her potential was there but ultimately she never did anything afterwards as the project was scrapped and was never brought on board for other projects within the Universal Century.
It wasn't until Gundam Seed that female characters in Gundam could reach the heights of other big time female characters in the medium.
I won't forget Christina but the majority probably will which is a shame.
