Description
Dr. Nefarious is a key villain in the Ratchet & Clank series, having had a role in 4 games in the canon timeline along with being so popular that he was put in the Ratchet & Clank movie and video game based on the movie. That is why I wonder what Ratchet & Clank would have been like if he had been killed off, or was left stranded on that asteroid, in a previous game.

When it comes to him being absent in A Crack in Time I could have seen Percival Tachyon taking over as the main villain, which honestly sounds awesome. Tachyon didn't get much screen time in Tools of Destruction so we didn't get to learn much about him and what we did see didn't really show us a villain who defeated an entire race that defeated his own. Having him return could have done that, plus since he started the events of the Future trilogy, it would have been fitting that he had a hand in its ending. Not to mention the first time we saw him, he bragged about being the "conquerer of space and time" and since he controlled space with the Dimensionator, him trying to control the Great Clock would have been fitting. We also could have seen Azimuth get revenge on Tachyon and even when he does, he still isn't satisfied and still goes through with his plan on trying to prevent Tachyon's rise in the first place.

For All 4 One, I could see him being replaced by Talwyn Apogee. In the game's story she is a little angry and disappointed about Ratchet and Clank (especially Ratchet) wanting to retire as even though she understands why, she says the universe needs heroes like them to help prevent bad things like losing loved ones ever again and they seem to be giving up too easily. This could lead to some tension between her and Ratchet thoughout the game, but they make amends at the end before Ratchet even wants to go out of retirement.

Rift Apart would mostly be the same but Ratchet and Clank would be fighting Emperor Nefarious the entire time, who was already trying to enter other dimensions in the first place but couldn't find a stable way to do so until he saw Clank's new Dimensionator design and tried to take it but accidentally sent them all back to his own dimension.

How do you think a lack of Dr. Nefarious would have effected the series's story and the franchise entirely?
