Chris Redfield, a staple protagonist of the Resident Evil franchise, has evolved from a standard S.T.A.R.S. operative into an internet icon known for his absurd physical feats and intense personality. The character's meme status peaked with Resident Evil 5, where he famously punches a massive boulder inside a volcano, cementing his reputation for 'boulder punching.' In recent years, a meta-meme known as the 'Redfield Bloodline' emerged, depicting Chris desperately trying to convince Leon S. Kennedy to marry his sister Claire to preserve the Redfield lineage. These memes highlight the transition of the series from survival horror to high-octane action, often poking fun at Chris's increasingly muscular physique and his unrelenting dedication to his mission.
