Real or fictional. My vote goes to the Star Wars Kid (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars_kid). A great leader of man, ruined by bad publicity.

Mel Gibson as Porter in Payback -- he's an armed robber / thug who gets shot by his wife and best friend and is left to die when they doublecross him after a robbery. He survives, and wants his money back...

For me, it's a tie between Irina Derevko from Alias and Greg House from House MD. Anyone familiar with either of them will know why.

Batman. His pure form was the ultimate anti-hero, not the later incarnation with rubber nipples on the batsuit. That was terrible.

The Punisher, although I have to agree that Deadpool is awesome.

Hmm... I'm having trouble deciding... Riddick? Nah... that's just because I liked Pitch Black... Spike Speigel perhaps? I do love the character, though he's a bounty hunter / reformed villain.
Alright let's be serious here: Haruhara Haruko! Zainy, random, mysterious, nonsensical, wild, crazy, manipulative, with her chaotic attitude, bright yellow Vespa, and diesel-powered Rickenbacker she's coming to the planet nearest you to use your brain to open wormholes to get what she wants. Yes! She's definitely my favorite anti-hero(ine) ever.

For me its gotta be El Superbeasto from Spookshow International fame, being such a total menace makes him the ultimate Anti-Hero in my books

I don't know how many of you have read the Prince of Nothing series by R Scott Bakker, but one of the protagonists is a monk by the name of Anasurimbor Kellhus, who goes through the entire novel callously manipulating people without a thought as to the morality of his actions - the ultimate "end justifies the means" character. Utterly dislikeable, yet compelling. Really good series too, if you're into George Martin/Steven Erikson style brutality in your series.
Obviously Elric would be another. |
