Steven Jacobs is the overarching antagonist of the Planet of the Apes reboot franchise, serving as the main antagonist of Rise of the Planet of the Apes. He is the charismatic and egotistical CEO of Gen-Sys who sought to put the ALZ-113 drug on the market, which became a pandemic of the Simian Flu that killed nearly the entire human population. He is portrayed by David Oyelowo.
Why is He Hated?[]
- From the first time he met Koba, he began antagonizing him for no reason.
- Callously authorized various experiments on apes to bypass human trials.
- He callously ordered one of his employees, Robert Franklin, to euthanize twelve ape test subjects.
- When the scientists were testing ALZ-113 on Koba, he watched the experiment out of sadism.
- His role in approving ALZ-113 led to the deaths of billions of people and the near extinction of the human race.
- Tried to stop the Ape Rebellion by massacring them and killing Caesar, just to keep good publicity for his company and save his own skin.
- His death at the hands of Koba was played for complete satisfaction due to the suffering that Koba faced at his hand.
- His actions and greed led to Koba's descent into villainy and many other terrible things happening in-universe such as the Simian Flu Pandemic which destroyed human civilization, the war between apes and humans, and the mutation of the ALZ-113, the latter of which reduced most surviving humans to a primal state of mind.
- He has zero likable qualities as he is nothing more than a smug, greedy, and egotistical abuser. He rarely even shows respect for his employees such as Will Rodman and Robert Franklin and threatened to fire Will on several occasions.
