10 Most Iconic Characters in Metal Slug

Metal Slug is one of the most popular run and gun games of all time. The game was first created by Nasca Corporation in 1996 before the company merged with SNK.

Considering how popular this game is, MogiMogy wants to share opinion about the most iconic characters in Metal Slug. Who are they? Check out the complete discussion below!

10. Nadia Cassel

Nadia Cassel is an interesting supporting character. She first debuted in Metal Slug 4. She later became a playable character in Metal Slug Defense, Metal Slug Attack, and Metal Slug Infinity.

Nadia has a weapon that is useful at close range. However, she also has expertise in using molotovs or grenades which she can throw at enemies. One of her characteristics is that she has a high appetite.

9. Rumi Aikawa

Next, there is Rumi Aikawa who always appears as a supporting character in Metal Slug. She has a beautiful face with blonde hair. Apart from that, she is always seen carrying a large backpack.

Rumi has the role of delivering goods or items that are useful for players. She is often seen walking around certain areas. The funny thing is, she sometimes runs away automatically when she is threatened by an enemy.

8. Leona Heidern

Leona Heidern is a newcomer to Metal Slug series. She is originally a playabe characters from King of Fighters. She debuted as a playable character in Metal Slug Mobile 4.

Although Leona is equipped with firearms, she specializes in close combat. She has an ultimate technique called Moon Slasher which can destroy enemy bullets.

7. Allen O'Neil

Like the game series in general, Metal Slug also features a very iconic antagonist character. He is a burly, bald man named Allen O'Neil. He often acts as a mid-range boss in most of the Metal Slug series.

Allen has a quite intimidating nickname, namely Immortal Devil Sergeant. He has an evil laugh and loves shooting at players with his machine gun. He is also very aggressive and has extraordinary endurance.

6. Utan

Next, there is a cute monkey named Utan who first appeared in Metal Slug 3. He is usually found by players when he is trapped. Players can free it if necessary.

When free from confinement, Utan will follow the player and fire bullets through his Mac-10 machine gun. Even so, the shot wasn't that powerful. Utans also like to stop in the middle of the road to sleep or eat bananas.

5. Eri Kasamoto

Eri Kasamato is one of the main playable characters in Metal Slug.She has blonde hair and is seen wearing a bandana. Apart from that, she wore a green army uniform.

One of Eri's advantages is that she specializes in using grenades. This is explored clearly in Metal Slug 6 and Metal Slug 7/XX. She also got a special nickname, namely "Memphis Bomb Princess".

4. Tarma Roving

Next, there is a burly guy named Tarma Roving. He is one of the main characters that can be chosen to play. One of his trademarks is that he wears sunglasses. He also has a strong and well-trained body.

In Metal Slug 6 and Metal Slug 7/XX, Tarma is described as specializing as a pilot of Slugs. When under Tarma's control, the Slugs get an additional combat power of up to 50% and their durability doubles.

3. Marco Rossi

Apart from Tarma, there is another male character that can be played. He is Marco Rossi who looks dashing and brave. He wears a red vest and headband which is his trademark.

Marco's mainstay ability is the use of a handgun. This was revealed in Metal Slug 6 and Metal Slug 7/XX. When he carries a Handgun, his shots are faster and deal double the damage to the enemy.

2. Fio Germi

One of the things that makes Fio Germi more iconic than other characters is her cute and adorable face. She does look like a nerd with glasses. However, she is actually a brave soldier.

In Metal Slug 6 and Metal Slug 7/XX, Fio shows her prowess in using special weapons. She always starts the mission with a Heavy Machine Gun. She also got a larger supply of ammunition.

1. Hyakutaro Ichimonji

Even though he is not the main character, I think that Hyakutaro Ichimonji is the most iconic character in Metal Slug. He has a very important role in supporting the character's fighting performance on the battlefield.

Hyakutaro is always seen tied up. When he is freed by the player, he will give special bullets that have certain attack effects. At certain moments, he can help players and perform a move similar to a Kamehameha.
