Lucas (Mother 3)

Lucas is the main character and protagonist of the Japan-Only game Mother 3. Like Ness, he has physic powers (or PSI powers if you want to call it that).

Why He Rocks

 * 1) He has an awesome design and sprite, especially for a video game.
 * 2) At first, he starts out as shy and timid, but later in the game, he becomes brave and strong.
 * 3) Like Ness, he is one of the strongest kids in gaming history, since he has PSI powers.
 * 4) 2 years after the original Mother 3's release, he made his first appearance outside Japan! That game is Super Smash Bros. Brawl for Wii.
 * 5) He has a good chemistry with Ness in the Subspace Emissary.
 * 6) Speaking of Ness, in Lucas' reveal trailer in Super Smash Bros: 3DS and Wii U as DLC, he saves Ness from getting trampled over by Bowser. A similar scene happens later in his reveal trailer where he uses his PSI Magnet to protect Ness from getting burnt by Bowser's fire breath, proving that he is a hero.
 * 7) He has an emotional backstory, which explains why he mostly never smiles in Mother 3.
 * 8) He is fun to play as in the Super Smash Bros. series.
 * 9) *His legendary Up Smash, and it is super powerful especially in the start of the move.
 * 10) *He has an unexplainably good recovery, he can use his snake and his PK Thunder Tackle goes a long distance.
 * 11) *Not to mention, his PK Freeze is strong also, especially at max charge.
 * 12) In a scene in the Subspace Emissary, after Meta Knight saves him and Pokemon Trainer, he smiles for the first time in his life!
 * 13) * There are also a few times he smiles in the Smash series outside the story mode, like his victory screens, which is nice.
 * 14) *Also, he smiles even more in later installments of the series which rocks.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Most of the time, he never smiles in Mother 3, as mentioned before, but that can be quite baffling to people. Not only that, but it can make Lucas look like a sad guy at times.
 * 2) * Thanfully, he does smile more in the Super Smash Bros. series.
 * 3) He is silent in Mother 3. That means he lacks personality.
 * 4) He got treated like a Butt-Monkey in Super Smash Bros. Brawl's Subspace Emissary.
