      An Anti Hero is basically a good guy who is kinda bad, or does good things for bad reasons. Deadpool's a classic example of an Anti Hero

                That's not what an anti-hero is. The anti-hero is when the main character is the bad guy. Think Walter White or to a certain extent Dexter Morgan.

                You're half right. An anti-hero is someone doing bad things for a good reasons. While dexter only killing criminals could count, White is a different case as he is in no way making meth for a good cause.

                  I wouldn't say she's an anti-hero, her soul motivation is revenge. It's just a point of convenience that she's also taking out bad guys.

                      Sam Spade, Wolverine are a couple that first come to mind; often portrayed as the cynical gunfighter private eye and war weary samurai

                            Weekend Bernie's does not get the recognition it deserves! Such an amazing/stupid movie that I haven't seen in far too long.

                                Vegeta embodies the rage that all of us feel and has one of the best character arcs of all time IMO.

                                he had his entire life stolen from him by the monster that took him in, not out of pittance, but out of a sick sense of entertainment.

                                he then spent the next 20-ish years trying to become stronger to complete his desire for vengeance, and even then he wasn't enough.

                                he literally had everything stolen from him. beaten from him. was mocked relentlessly because of who and what he is. they took everything but one thing. That one thing that could never be taken from him. His pride.

                                I learned so much about myself as a person as I watched his character develop. I keep a figure of him on my desk to remind myself of how far I have come and to protect my pride.

                                he is, by far, one of the most influential characters in my entire life.

                                  Often the clumsy fool with a pure heart is the anti hero. For example Forrest Gump

                                    todd the wraith, and probably magneto. deadpool not really, he doesnt really do close to bad to consider it, hes still to moral.

                                        Does Agent Venom count? I've only read a little about the character, but enjoyed what I saw.

                                        In - I think - the first issue, he ends up carrying an armed grenade in his mouth for most of it; I remember there being some pretty funny quips about it.
