Pit

Pit is the hero of the classic NES game Kid Icarus which came out in July 1987. He has also recently become a character of Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Once he first appeared on his first game, the fans wanted a sequel, so they gave them Kid Icarus 2 for the Game Boy. Ever since then, there haven't been any games with him at all, until recently when at a press conference Nintendo revealed that the classic character would come back in the Wii game Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
