You can't go wrong with a bit of the greatest manga ever!Lanior said:
Captcha: Choicest trderp. Derp indeed.
For me, it's gotta be Zuko from Avatar: The Last Airbender. Oh, and Snape from Harry Potter. You really can't help but feel bad for the guy...
Two of mine have already been said.
And then there's the obvious one. KotOR was a damn good game eh?
Vegeta - Dragonball Z. He really deserved more than he was given by Akira Toriyama, there were so many instances when he deserved to be the hero, but then Goku comes along like "lolno" and just wins for no apparent reason.
Beatrix - Final Fantasy IX. Even though she was an utter pain in the ass as a boss fight, and had the annoying tendancy to reduce everyone to 1hp when you beat her, I really liked her as a character and was very happy when she became one of the good guys, that part where she joins your party for about 2 minutes was one of the highlights of that game for me.

Revan... just, Revan.
From Lost the only hero there is Hurley, its not that the others are villains but they all have this thing to not chill the fuck down and talk. Most of the time they just kill each other because they dont know what is going on, none of them know.Absolutionis said:
Hurley for me is the only sane guy from the whole story.
OT: The main bad guy from STALKER, if I go further I spoil the story
Viril from Gurren Lagaan. What a guy. He really gets into the whole "fighting spirit" thing and it becomes all kinds of awesome.
I'd have to say Snape. I couldn't bring myself to dislike him throughout the movies, but that was probably because Alan Rickman played him...
Also, Sylar from Heroes. He was a good character. Pity they didn't finish the show...

Soo maaany aaaaniiiimes.
Malazan Book of the Fallen:
A Song of Ice and Fire:
Mistborn Trilogy
Supernatural
And from my childhood:
Poor misunderstood Black Wargreymon. No wonder he went dangerously emo with such a name.
Malazan Book of the Fallen:
Kallor (Depends on how you look at it I guess ], Silchas Ruin, Tayschrenn, Shadowthrone and Cotillion. Man, basically half the characters are anti-heroes or villains turned anti-heroes.

Jamie, Mance Rayder, Victarion in a way. Littlefinger is still kind of a villain in my mind, though he is a very likeable villain.

Puttin' on my nerd cap here for a sec...Aurgelmir said:Though Venom is the one again off again Villain, so I am not sure he counts. (I am counting all incarnations of Venom here, just because you didn't state which one you meanMurais said:
Amazing Spiderman. As Eddie Brock. He totally hates Spiderman, and tries to murder him/frame him on many occasions, but when Carnage starts his rampant slaughter, Venom is absolutely instrumental in taking him down. As well as becoming (and enjoying) work as a vigilante soon after, even going so far as to "enjoy" protecting the innocent.
There's also the other caveat that later on, in the Planet of the Symbiotes storyline, Venom (symbiote) is declared insane by the rest of his people (a bunch of parasites who feed on adrenaline until fatal for the host) because it desires to commit to the betterment of its host, rather than use it up.
But, I'm mostly referring to the vigilantism. I mean, how badass was that?
Ok excluding Viral, Nico Robin, Franky, Bon Clay Zuko, Piccolo and Vegeta I am going with Sinestro in Green Lantern.
Ok granted he isn't a fully goody good guy but consider he used to be a threat to Hal Jorden, created his own Corp to fight against the Green Lantern but even seen during Blackest Night and onward he seen to be less threatening to say the least.

Spike from "Buffy the Vampire slayer".
He's just such a badass, even after he turns good, he still manages to be so cool, with such funny one liners.
The Guy's a BAMF.

I only saw one person mention Revan from KOTOR, shame.
Char and Graham Aker from Gundam and Gundam 00 respectively.
Viral from Gurren Lagaan and Zuko from Avatar also fit but have already been voiced.
Deadpool for Comics and Bowser from Mario RPG.
