Senator Armstrong
| Senator Armstrong | Gallery |
Senator Steven Armstrong is the main antagonist of the 2013 video game Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.
An American senator and USA presidential candidate who serves as the final boss, Armstrong became one of the game's most popular characters because of his fight with player character Raiden, which gained great popularity online for extremely memetic speeches and moments, and for its political message that remains relevant to this day. He is widely considered by fans to be the "most based politician of all time" for his strongly memorable traits, like his ardent American patriotism, commitment to his own goals and beliefs, and for being a tough-ass motherfucker to kill.
Tournament History[edit]
The Senator was voted the winner of 4chan's first King of /v/ tournament in 2019. Fueled by the power of memes, nanomachines voting machines, and sheer patriotism, Armstrong dominated the entire tournament from start to finish. His victims include two humanoid robots, a "pink little shit," a dense motherfucker, a Russian, a "limp-dick lawyer," and a demon-slaying space marine. Due to his inaugural victory, he is banned from participating in future King of /v/ tournaments. Still, his legacy as the original King will live on.
