Free guess: Doomguy? Because he is technically in hell, which means he’s dead

Clarification required:

You imply by your i.e. that you are referring to hand-to-hand combat specifically, is that correct?

[Jamiet99uk]

THREE QUESTIONS LEFT

CLUE: While this character appears in multiple video games which were released on one or more consoles, they did not originate in a video game.

[Jamiet99uk]

There will be one more clue at Question 19.

Yes, this is correct

Game with some sort of combat mechanics?

ie Street Fighter counts because of the fighting moves but Mario stepping on a Goomba does not

Now that this has been clarified:

No, the main console game(s) featuring this character aren't really about hand-to-hand combat.

But no.

They did apparently finally kill him off permanently at one point (season 5?) So it made sense to me. I haven't watched _South Park_ since, maybe season 2?

Not exactly, no. He was "permanently" killed at the end of Season 5, was absent for most of Season 6, but returned to life in the last episode of Season 6 and has remained a recurring (and usually alive) character since then.
