For a second I thought it was about sexually attractive characters (though that would've been nice). Subverting that expectation is the intended joke. Besides, what qualifies as sexy is so broadly subjective. E.g., i find dog-faced people repulsive but there're people lap it up like toilet water Reminds of the whole Furry thing, along with weird fetishes that I will never understand (and please don't get me started on them).

I feel Bowser would've been a really obvious choice...being a giant lizard living inside a lave filled castle and breaths fire...hell, steam pours out his nose when he breaths. Or are we only including characters that are literally straight up fire? Eh...more of a Mr. Fantastic than a Human Torch. Ken 'd probably make a better candidate imo. Don't think either one have quite enough heat to be matched with those listed thus far though.

Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy Now there's a forgotten gem. I've often wondered why no one has ripped off it's psychic powers gameplay yet, there are similarities with some of the plasmids in Bioshock for an example, but no game has gone whole hog on the psychic thing yet as much as it did and it would be interesting to see what you could do with it with modern tech. Psi-Ops also sticks out in my mind because despite the fact that it had pretty great gameplay, it has possibly the worst story I've ever seen in a video game, the whole thing was total, utter nonsense that was laughable in every way, including the dialogue, I'm talking The Room caliber stuff, it felt like it was written by one of the developers' 13 year old nephew. Keep in mind it's been well over a decade but some choice examples of stupidity I remember are revelations like WW2 was really fought over the control of these artifacts that empower psychic abilities and the the US actually went to the moon to retrieve one of these artifacts but this occurred in the 1950's, not 1969 (huh?) Psi-Ops starts out incredible (gameplay-wise), best use of TK ever in a game, but falls apart once Aura Vision is introduced. Suddenly it's all Invisble Mine Mazes and Invisible Enemies and such to force you to drain all of your Psi Meter on it. And good lord are those Invisible Mines bullshit.

I did find it interesting how you could replay levels from before you had that power and when you used it find weird things written on the walls and stuff.

Might as well mention Magcargo from Pokémon, since he has a fucked-up description just like Firebug.
