Who is your favorite "anti-hero" character?

The anti-hero sprung into popularity during the 90's, portraying a hero who was anti.

In any case, convince us why he's so cool and provide background story for emotional connection.

Joker...I mean..c'mon.

*edit*He's a villain :x..darn

this is a trick one. I could say kratos but thats too easy. theres greed from FMA Brotherhood. Then theres Ozymandis from Watchmen.

Raziel from the Legacy of Kain series because of the Soul Reaver storyline.

Spawn counts as an anti hero right...?Jing16

I pick rorschach because he is a man filled with anger and sadness and only does whats necessary for him. He only has gray on him, not black or white and is mad himself.

Han Solo is the archetypal anti-hero.

[QUOTE="jimmyjammer69"][QUOTE="xaos"] Yeah, I was kind of thinking folks like Shylock and Ozymandias cross pretty decidedly over the line into "villain"xaos

I felt sympathy for Shylock, and even though he displayed less humanity then Shylock, Shylock is considered a villain whereas Barabas is an anti-hero. I'm guessing that a villain has to play opposite a hero then, is that close? :?

Magneto is the protagonist in some comics.. And he does things and believes in things that the stereotypical hero does not do.. Hence he is a anti-hero.. Wolverine is a anti hero..

[QUOTE="super_mario_128"][QUOTE="spazzx625"] Interesting...In what way? Also, couldn't it be argued that was Camus' intention? spazzx625

[QUOTE="spazzx625"][QUOTE="super_mario_128"] His intention or not, the whole "I am an outcast, look at me as I remain consistently apathetic to social norms throughout the text" role bored me. The book itself is pretty good though. Particularly the la premiere partie. It has a great claustrophobic atmosphere.super_mario_128
