Category:Antiheroes

An Anti Hero is a hero that lacks the traditional qualities of a hero in fiction and in folklore. These characters may be obnoxious, rude, selfish, disloyal, violent, or downright heroes in name only, but they will still fight for good, whether they want to, or are forced to. Unlike the ideal hero, they do not possess the kindness, nobility, or heroism of other heroes. Anti-heroes possess notable flaws and who never stops being the hero of their story, so for example, they will still save the day, even though they may be a selfish snob. However, selfish, rudeness, and criminal behavior do not necessarily dictate the behavior of ALL anti heroes, they can be polite, nice, and altruistic, or are simply neutral. Many Anti Heroes go by the philosophy that the ends justify the means.

Examples of popular anti heroes include Deadpool, Lelouch, Itachi Uchiha, Wolverine, Shadow the Hedgehog, and more.
