Fox McCloud

Fox McCloud is a fictional anthropomorphic fox and the main character in the Star Fox series. He is the leader of the Star Fox team, and is the son of the legendary James McCloud, the late leader of said team.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) He is great leader to the titular Star Fox team and is pitted largely against the forces of evil trembling through the reaches of space like Andross and the Star Wolf team.
 * 2) Described as a fearless hero, Fox is headstrong and an excellent pilot in his league, with skills excelling even the majority of the Cornerian military.
 * 3) He is a skilled pilot with a strong sense of justice.
 * 4) He greatly cares about the people in his life, as he dropped out of the Cornerian Flight Academy in order to avenge the death of his father, James McCloud.
 * 5) He exhibited exceptional aerial skills even at a puerile age, resulting in him joining the Cornerian Flight academy.
 * 6) He has a friendly rivalry with his fellow teammate, Falco Lombardi.
 * 7) Even though Peppy was older than all the other Star Fox Team members, he declined the leadership role and insisted that the younger Fox McCloud would take over the team after his late father.
 * 8) He ended several intergalactic wars, though with minor assistance from his team. He also saved the planet Sauria from explosion.
 * 9) He is known to beat opponents that are much larger than he is, as evidenced during the Test of Strength in Star Fox Adventures where he beat Musclefoot in order to become a member in LightFoot Village.
 * 10) His iconic move set In the Super Smash Bros. series, particularly Melee, with his reflector, blaster, and illusion/fire abilities.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) His newer games like Star Fox Zero and the long-awaited Star Fox 2 haven't been well-received.

Trivia
