Johnny Cage, the 90s-est videogame character:

As far as I know it only appeared in his versus picture and in some promo stuff.

On that note, my favorite campy 90's thing were terribly made Mortal Kombat knock offs. If you had some cheap halloween costumes, a green screen, and could come up with some lame fatalities, you had a fighting game. Especially great were the ones that showed up on the third string consoles like the 3DO and Jaguar, which looked great in screenshots but played like a wet turd.

Yes, and I remember reading some musing that that is why the move choreography and motion capturing in MK3 was so lousy looking since he had his hands in that for the first two games.

I'm not sure what my favorite part of this is, because it's all amazing.

I like to believe that Richard divisio is still hanging out in a hollowed out arcade cabinet somewhere waiting to scare the poo poo out of some little kids
