VOICE OVER: Aaron Kline WRITTEN BY: Aaron Kline

Our list of the "Resident Evil" theories that might be true includes The Duke's Indentity, how Ethan works for Umbrella, how Ada survived in "Resident Evil 2," and more!
Welcome to MojoPlays, and today we’re counting down our picks for the 10 Resident Evil theories that might be true. The Resident Evil series is full of crazy characters and story lines, so it's only natural some crazy theories all over the spectrum have popped up, especially due to the popularity of the recent remakes. Be sure to combine your herbs and head to the comments to let us know any theories we may have missed.

Yok’D Chris


When we first get introduced to Chris Redfeild he’s an average S.T.A.R.S. member. Over the years he’s seen some stuff and realized he should probably bulk up. So did Chris become a gym rat? While that’s possible, most fans tend to lean towards Chris using steroids to turn into a supernatural buff beast. This would also explain why his figure changes from game to game, one game he’ll be super small. Crazy buff, and just a little in shape. I suppose if he is on the juice it would explain that boulder punch.

Ada Lives


One of the most iconic moments in “Resident Evil 2” has to be Ada's death scene, or fake death scene. Once we find out what Ada was truly up to and she's doing her evil villain speech, she gets shot. Despite turning on Leon he has to try to save her, but just can’t. It looks like Ada would’ve fallen to her death in the black abyss. But we see her in future games, how did she survive? Some fans theorize that she somehow landed in some water or on something rather soft, others think she had her ionic grappling gun and used that to trick Leon into thinking she fell to her death.

Moldy Ethan


The mold seems to affect people in different ways, but one thing the mold seems to do to everyone is make them go mad! So why does the mold seem to only do positive things for Ethan and not turn him into a crazy person? Fans have come up with a rather good explanation for this. Eveline wanted Ethan to be her father so she is protecting him from turning into a crazy and helping him with his crazy healing powers. The real reason is because the “Resident Evil” storyline is bonkers.

Does Chris NOT Know Ada?


You would think that most if not all the characters in “Resident Evil” would know of each other in some way shape or form. In “Resident Evil 6” when Chris meets Ada he seems to know nothing about her. This doesn’t seem to add up. After the events of “Resident Evil 2” and “Resident Evil 4”, people would know about Ada courtesy of the Kennedy Reports. It could be that Leon didn’t mention her during his reports? We know he’s still simping for her deep down. And who wouldn’t?

The Duke


Who is The Duke? He’s a mysterious character that we never really learn anything about, so of course fans came up with their own thoughts on the bloated merchant. Some seem to think that The Duke is somehow related to Salazar from “Resident Evil 4” mainly due to similar appearances. Others think that he was tested on by Mother Miranda and is what happens when you combine the mold and T-Virus. That would explain why none of Mother Miranda's henchmen seem to really bother The Duke as he aids Ethan.

Leon The Investigator


I’ve always thought it was weird that Leon was sent to a village full of evil with just one clip and no back up other than the local police. Could it be that Leon actually wasn’t sent to rescue Ashley alone, but was there to gather intel? Could it be possible that Leon is just an investigator meant to locate Ashley while laying low and it quickly went sideways? Maybe Leon was getting intel for Hunk and his team to come in and rescue Ashley, I mean if I was getting rescued by any character in the “Resident Evil” series it would have to be Hunk.

Ethan Works For Umbrella


Your average man couldn’t survive everything Ethan went through in “Resident Evil 7”. This seems like something your average Umbrella operative could handle. We never truly know anything about his past, but we do learn a bit about him in a diary found in “Resident Evil 5”. This would also explain how and why he was able to have the courage to go look for his wife alone. While Ethan may seem to be a very dull character put into a horrific situation, maybe there is more to his guy than we originally thought.

Ethan is Alive


The end of “Resident Evil Village” makes us believe that Ethan is dead, but maybe he’s still kicking. We see Rose visit his grave, but we know what he’s been through and how the mold gave him super healing. It’s hard to believe that this is the end of the character. Another thing that might prove that he’s still alive is that he can actually be seen while Rose is at his grave. There is a shadowy figure seen walking in the distance. If you’re able to move the camera you can even see his model being used. Maybe there is hope yet.

What Are Ya Buyin’?


What is with the merchants in “Resident Evil '' being so mysterious? With the Merchant being a fan favorite in “Resident Evil 4” fans started to theorize on his back story. One that seems to seem most logical would actually explain how he keeps getting ahead of Leon and why he’s helping him. Is the Merchant Luis’s grandfather? Luis mentions his grandfather used the tunnels throughout the village to get from place to place so he would know the fastest ways to get around. It would seem Luis and the Merchant use the same tunnels as they both are always one step ahead of Leon.

Chris is Hunk


It has been a mystery on who Hunk is and fans just want to know who is behind the mask. At the end of “Resident Evil 7” we see soldiers drop from a helicopter dawning similar mask to Hunk, one of the soldiers takes their mask off and gives us their name, Redfield. In “Resident Evil Village” we’re introduced to Chris and his unit once again. While he doesn’t have the iconic mask, his team resembles a team that Hunk would have alongside him. Also we’ve never seen Chris and Hunk in the same room. So crazy it might just be true, or just plain stupid? Either is possible!
