Well, let's see:


 * He's the only character besides Samus to hold any sort of relevance in the series,


 * He's been in more games than any other antagonistic character from the series (I don't count the Metroids 'cause they are mainly a specie)


 * He frequently antagonizes Samus in the games he was in,


 * and he's way better than Adam Malchovich.
