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, cynicism, 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 remains fairly subjective. Some of the entries may be disputed by other sources and some may contradict all established definitions of antihero.
