@@tavish4699 In the original re 2 the cutscenes that showed how the outbreak started showed a total of 4 USS operatives, 2 in the sewers, and 2 (including HUNK) in the labs. After the latter 2 retrieve the samples (and shoot Birkin in the process) they headed to the sewers to regroup with the other 2. Then came a g-virus fueled Birkin for round two, with HUNK and the other operative from the lab (I don’t know if he was named in the original) are taken down first, and then the other 2 are taken down after they run into Birkin while trying to reach their teammates. However this is in the original game’s cutscene and the events were already retconned in the remake as we see all 4 together when they confront Birkin. And while we aren’t shown proof, it is possible that there were more USS operative assigned to the mission.

I like to think that Hunk just had an excellent set of skills that edged out his teammates....and after several missions where he was the only one to survive, the general thought among the Umbrella Board was "Okay, surround him with meat shields so that he can survive just long enough to escape. We save money on all the other mercenaries, we pay him well enough to do this suicidal job, and we can trust him to succeed 99 out of 100 times."

[@GhosthoundYT]

My theory: HUNK isn't that young anymore when he signed up for the Rockford Training Program. He got into Rockford in 96, while the Raccoon Incident happened in 98. The Epilogue in Resident Evil 3 shows us his hair (albeit a bit blurry) starting to whiten up. Also, in Resident Evil Outbreak, there is an option to show HUNK without gasmask. He look more like Nikolai. Taking from that, lets say Nikolai's age is the same as HUNK, that mean HUNK would be 35 y.o. by the time Racoon City happen. When he got into Rockford he would be 33. His father could have been a Veteran of Vietnam War, could also be a Spec Ops in said war. Got back, trained Little Hunk. When Hunk all grow up, Hunk Enlisted. 15 Years of military experience, not to mention he could also be a Spec Ops, is all the good reason Hunk seems so "Stubborn to die". Could Also be a CIA Operatives, because by the time he's 18, proper age to Enlist, Cold War was still at its late stage. The CIA Operative made a lot more sense to me because of the "Mysterious" background, he basically pop out of thin air back in 96. Went in and become the best. For what? By the time of RE 4, I believe he is already chilling somewhere, retiring with the fat check umbrella gave him when he brought back the G Virus sample. Dropping his spy business aside... Or he could be in Spain... Spying on other weird Corporation like Umbrella... We can never know.

Chris however has a longer history of showing concern for his allies and tries to do what he thinks us the greater good while HUNK seems to be a mercenary who just views things as a job and really only seemed to show concern in the remakes, in the originals he definitely came across as only being concerned with the mission and not caring who survived as long as the mission was completed.

But in Umbrella Chroncles she was at some point severely wounded and lost the usage of her legs, during the UC version of the 4th survivor, she cried over her radio for help and Hunk dismissed her pleas (unwilling or unable to help, not sure which one… maybe both) by saying “This is War. Survival is your responsibility”.

Martinez did not panic there, he is doing what every soldier/officer is trained to do. When someone makes a fast movement at you, you fire first before they even have a chance, and in this case, it was 100% justified as Dr.Birkin had a gun.

Excellent video all great points. You took a lot of great lore. And complied it into a great easy to understand video.

[@randomargument972]

Seeing stand alone game with Hunk is like getting Half-Life 3

[@bobbarkin2880]

"I wanted to meet the Grim Reaper." that is just a good line. I feel like it's also a 'Congratulations' to the player.

[@dilfasriel6354]

You're a really good narrator

[@HakarisInfiniteVoid]

I absolutely love the resident evil universe. Great video.

[@MKTyphon]

Only hunk can turn Resident evil 2 remake into doom remake

[@DracoSen21]

Him taking responsibility for berkins death just shows his leadership since in the military while he’d punish Martinez, to the higher ups he was responsible for everything that happened.

[@m1gu3l_r]

Great video man!

[@zeroredox8018]

Glad you liked it!

[@Spruehwuerstl]

Man I wish there was an RE game where you play as Hunk. Love him so much

[@flyingsquid6062]

It would be interesting to see an RE title with an older character and an eventual reveal where you stumble over the character’s true identity IS HUNK

[@harleysjokeryt4347]

Loved playing as him in Mercenaries for RE4

[@rito145]

Incredible video, thank you!

[@ciphered4863]

Great video man never skipped a second u made it interesting all the way

[@SmolTerribleTornado]

Hunk's a mercenary who's proud enough of his past life as a porn star to not change his name, yet ashamed enough of it to never show his face.

[@TangRemix]

Hunk is a fighting guest character waiting to happen.

[@DustinBarlow8P]

Hunk is the nickname of one Hunkie Hunkerson a guy from Los Angeles, North Dakota. He was the son of Billionaire Hunker Hunkalota Hunkerson who owned the popular chain of restaurants known as GET HUNKED, (great Onion Rings) as well as being the Porn King of the entire Western Hemisphere. After college, where he played Football. At his Alma Mater they played an 10:1 Defense (10 down lineman, Hunk handling LB, CB and S duties) Their team was undefeated the entire time Hunkie was there. This was about the time of 9/11 so Hunkie joined the military. First soldier to be a member of every section of JSOC (Navy Seal, Delta Force, etc). They put him on all the most deadly missions and he would always complete them. They stopped sending a team with him because he would always sacrifice them to complete the mission. One such mission had him take his own team member and use him as a human shield as he engaged the enemy. Hunkie would then be recruited by Umbrella where he became something of a legend among the female employees. Hunkie would then partner up with Agent Tofu who gave him the moniker Hunk. They didn't trust each other at first but when Tofu used Hunk as a human shield on a mission, they are now the best of friends. The rest is as they say History.....

The 4th survivor mode really makes you feel like a Hunk. What a nice surprise after finish a great game

[@menumlor9365]

10:35 How did Hunk survive 1 week in raccoon city? Who knows. But I do know that capcom needs to make an RE game featuring hunk surviving one week in hell.

[@Johny40Se7en]

Enjoyed this. Love the mysterious elements of Hunk.

[@TFDUDE123]

8:18 That's nothing special. Hunk, being a squad leader, takes responsibility for his unit's actions. No good leader would throw their subordinate under the bus like that.

[@paratko123]

I knew everything about Hunk/Hunks, and still, i watched and enjoyed this vid :)

[@badassgoat5601]

Hunk is the embodiment of integrity and professionalism , only in his case his loyalty lies to the corporate structure of the Umbrella Corporation There are examples of people with such loyalty no matter their cause they serve. Not because they believe it's right or wrong but because they an unwritten compact with themselves to finish a job once you started it

[@laiferplay8021]

And i just thought Hunk was a random guy that appear in the mercenaries mode of Resident Evil 4. I didn't know he had this history, actually make him a really interesting and even lethal character

[@fexyo]

Hunk is voice acted by the same dude who VA's zhongli from genshin impact

[@VolatileViolet]

Keith Silverstein? No way. He also voices Tatsuya Suou in the PSP version of Persona 2: Innocent Sin.

[@thisiskevin92795]

Also the VA of Hisoka in Hunter x Hunter

[@vibe9318]

Hunk gets told hes bouta get slapped up by a very very spicy missle Also hunk : listening to Mr. Blue sky jogging around

[@Aibadenshi]

Consider the Wesker Project is a thing. I have a feeling he might be one of those children.

[@IveBeenWithBruma]

Or something completely unique to the UMBRELLA CORP. It is more likely that he is a human bio weapon and his placement in that group was his field test that he aced with flying colors. Even Wesker couldn't pull of what this man has done prior to his own infection.

[@FriendlyBatDoom]

I don't know before re1 wesker was able to BY HIMSELF to defeat all the zombies, Cerberus dogs, hunters, proto tyrant and ivan tyrant virtually unblemished during the end of re0 events.

[@cynicalnitro8416]

If I'm correct, Hunk has black or brown hair. Automatically removes him from being a Wesker kid.

[@ranfan1820]

I'm not clued in on the lore as other people are but blonde hair is recessive. Your parent could have blonde hair but you could wind up with brown or black hair since those aren't recessive. Unless Weaker went out of his way to make his hair colour dominant?

[@Aibadenshi]

@@IveBeenWithBruma The Wesker Project is like Halo Spartan 2 Project. Where children is enhance with chemical to make them stronger and faster and Wesker himself is included in one of those children and everyone of them have their name renamed their surname into Wesker. It have nothing to do with Wesker having kid.

[@chazfromouterspace]

This is the one resident evil character Capcom sleeps on, he could truly be a big part of resident evil, and technically he is, but in the shadow of the other survivors

[@Gfish17]

I want Hunk to be in Resident Evil 9.

[@DavidSmith-yu2yk]

Plot twist: Hunk wander from PMC to PMC until he stumbled with Blue Umbrella

[@markmagician2471]

I just assumed HUNK was a codename for different agents

[@BabyRibs]

X2

[@deloreandmc88]

Not really. Probably a highly trained Green Beret or Navy SEAL who decided to earn more at Umbrella.

[@bluejaysfan965]

To quote a certain dude. "He is just a cool dude."

[@TheNewGuy21]

What is the background music at the end of the video? With the piano? It souinds amazing and I'd love to know!

[@zeroredox8018]

Lachrymal from the Code Veronica X soundtrack! One of my favorites :)

How did leon, claire and jill not spot hunk in the sewers sweet lord, he was there the whole week???

[@Spideybro213]

The best part about Hunk is that he is not only a badass, he’s a badass with a heart

[@opiuchi864]

I love the hunk character, I wish they make a game centered on him

[@Norrsky]

It's crazy he never died, he backed into an uncleared room right into an enemy

[@You-Know-Youre-Right]

hunk tuah resident evil on that thang

[@nathanpayne9903]

He was just a chiropractor with a very low yelp score that umbrella hired to adjust enemy soldiers.

[@itsmecrosby4723]

Tldw Hunk is the goat He's a monster of a man He's got no fear No hesitation And no weakness He's a behemoth of a soldier He's a one man army He's a tank A demolisher A death machine He is the name people run and hide from Hes a leader like no other Putting every member at top priority, even fighting his own leaders and willingly giving his life for them if things get dicey And he is your friend :) We should be like hunk Strong, resilient, caring and compassionate
