File:Albert Wesker Origins - Most Terrifying Villain In Resident Evil Franchise, Core Of Every Mutation!-2

While there is no denying that Andrew Dabb’s Resident Evil is primarily based on the Capcom video game series, the events of this second tv adaptation of the franchise does take place in its very own imaginative universe while simultaneously having on display the plotline of the video game series as its premise. But having said that, the Netflix adaptation also marks the return of the franchise staple – the iconic Albert Wesker, a character who is canonically dead in the game version. Known for his signature slicked back hairstyle and let’s not forget those deep black sunglasses, Wesker made his debut in the 1996 video game as the commanding officer of the S.T.A.R.S. unit aiding the players with helpful instructions and leaving stockpiles for them.
