Definitive Ranking of the Mass Effect Squad Members

Javik

13. Javik

Let’s just talk about the fact that HE’S A LIVING PROTHEAN. HE IS ALIVE, AND PROTHEAN. HE COULD RECREATE HIS RACE IF HE TRIED HARD ENOUGH. Hell, he could probably mate with an Asari and make a whole new line of Asari bloodlines. But, let’s face it, Javik isn’t the romantic type. And let’s face another thing: He’s nothing like what we expected. At least what I expected, anyways.

I was expecting Protheans to be long fingered, lanky sea creatures with Cthulu-like faces who spoke in a weird form of Latin about science all the time. But, at the same time, I’m glad Javik didn’t meet my expectations—it made his appearance that much better.

As a squad member: I used him a ton in Mass Effect 3. He’s a strong soldier with cool dark biotics.
