From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This list is for characters in
fictional works who exemplify the qualities of an
antihero —a
protagonist or
supporting character whose characteristics include the following:
imperfections that separate them from typically heroic characters (such as selfishness, cynicism, ignorance, and bigotry);
[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 remains fairly subjective. Some of the entries may be disputed by other sources and some may contradict all established definitions of antihero.
