Lester the Unlikely

Lester the Unlikely (also referred to as Lester) is the titular main protagonist of the 1994 SNES platform video game of the same name.
==Personality==
Lester is well-known for being an wimpy coward and a clumsy loser who was often afraid of unthreatening things like turtles and totem poles, throughout the levels; he tends to cower too much before approaching obstacles or running away from anything almost about, even while moving slowly, making him come across as really incompetent, idiotic and useless at the start. 
When he is first introduced to his hobby with reading his favorite comic book, what makes him come across as a dorky person is that he got rather drowsy and careless by falling asleep next to a cargo crate lying beside a cargo ship, which got himself into trouble.
As he progressed the game, he does become somewhat more brave and courageous enough to fight gorillas to save Tikki's life, as well as freeing Tikka's father by using a ladle full of water to douse the spark running on a fuse, Lester also fought pirates, and risked his life in order to save an innocent islander, and managed to return home. He once considered himself heroic to Tikki when she saw him as unlikely and Lester felt like he has something to prove to her. The ending shows him getting women as a reward for surviving, as he seems happy and relaxed.
== Appearance ==
Lester's design resembles the stereotypical nerd/geek. He has black thin glasses, a white sweatshirt, blue jeans and white shoes. 
==Biography==
In the opening cut-scene of the game, Lester is described as typical, quite geeky, and often prone to sleeping. He has recently gotten a new issue of the Super Duper Hero Squad comic book. He was reading it while walking on a dock, until he fell asleep next to a cargo crate lying beside a cargo ship. After he and the cargo were loaded onto the ship by a crane and cruised off, the ship got hijacked by pirates who scuttled it. Lester luckily found a life jacket and swam toward the most adjacent island while the cargo ship sank. Lester must find his way home by exploring the island for someone or something that can help him survive.
== Trivia ==
* According to lead artist Bill Stanton, a sequel was in the planning stages at one point, and Lester would be in Chinatown in San Francisco. The game was scrapped since DMTC went bankrupt.
* Lester is often considered to be one of the worst video game heroes ever.
