A nefariously evil genius needs a right hand man or woman. In fact, it pays to have several. To help you decide which Henchmen you might like to recruit, we’ve rounded up an Evil Genius 2 Henchmen list that covers all the important characters you can recruit to tangle with agents that we’re aware of so far.

Certain Henchmen such as Jubei and Fugu are widely considered better than others, so make sure to grab them if you can. Henchmen can only be obtained through Side Stories, and you’ll need to complete several stages (including ones in which they attack your base) before you’ll be able to recruit them. Their missions are long and challenging, so don’t start them if you’re not ready!
Those are all the Evil Genius 2 Henchmen that we know of, but we’ll do our best to add any others if we manage to find them. Which Henchman is your favorite? Let us know in the comments below. For more Evil Genius 2 guides, head over to our hub page for the game.
