List of fictional antiheroes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by SummerPhDv2.0 (talk | contribs) at 03:46, 24 August 2017 (Reverted to revision 796957630 by SummerPhDv2.0 (talk): Unsourced. (TW)). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

This list is for characters in fictional works who exemplify the qualities of an antihero – a protagonist whose characteristics include the following:

  • imperfections that separate them from typically heroic characters (selfishness, ignorance, bigotry, etc.);[1]
  • lack of positive qualities such as "courage, physical prowess, and fortitude", and "generally feel helpless in a world over which they have no control";[2]
  • qualities considered dark traits, usually belonging to villains, (amorality, greed, violent tendencies, etc.)[3] that may be tempered with more human, identifiable traits that blur the moral lines between the protagonist and antagonist.[4]

Each of these examples has been identified by a critic as an antihero, although the classification is somewhat subjective. Some of the entries may be disputed by other sources and some may contradict all established definitions of antihero.
