List of fictional antiheroes
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 (confusion, self-hatred, etc.). In fact, antiheroes often blur the moral lines between the protagonist and antagonist;[4]
- possibly noble but ambiguous motives pursued by the belief that "the ends justify the means."
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.
- This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by expanding it with reliably sourced entries.
