Anyone who's glanced at a computer in the last ten years probably knows that Arthas Menethil, in his role as The Lich King, is one of the most highly recognized certifiable badasses of all time. What they may not know, is that there's some competition for the frozen fiend from all kinds of games across multiple platforms.  Let's take a peek at some of these bosses who could give Ol' Frosty a run for his money.

1. Apollo, Final Fantasy Legend 2 (Gameboy)

You're probably thinking - Wait, who the *$# is Apollo? This was a boss who was so powerful, you literally couldn't kill him. If you can survive his barrage of taunts, Masamune, and Flare, he'll eventually just destroy himself, because he's pretty much the only person who can. This guy wasn't even technically the boss of the game! Arthas would pretty much have to sit there and listen to this guy talk about his Aegis shield until Apollo let him win to even have a chance.

2. Warmech, Final Fantasy 1 (NES)

Another Final Fantasy boss? Really? If you've never felt that special feeling while you cross Tiamat's bridge in this old-school classic, then you probably never spiked that 1 in 64 chance to run into a fight with this monster. Easily the hardest boss in the game, walking up and down that sky bridge is something akin to throwing rocks at a psychopathic 500 lb gorilla in a cage made of napkins. 

This guy is of the "old guard" of game design, he doesn't bother with lengthy monologues or even have any special music, there's no cinematic or storyline, he just straight up starts launching nukes at your party and mauling them. Arthas probably wouldn't even realize he was up against a boss until he was eating 10000 point NUCLEAR's in his face (And let's face it, Arthas isn't packing this bosses only weakness, the little used AFIR spell)
