Who's your favorite anti-hero?

[MordinSolus]

Both Commander Shepard and Deadpool.
Commander Shepard because he says the funniest insulting things possible, but still saves the day.
Deadpool because he's Deadpool.

 

[WolfThomas]

Spoiler: Cable

It's the trope codifer for the 90's antihero and an all round awesome character. No I'm not joking, when written by Tischman, Macan, Niceza and Carey, he's brilliant.

Roland Deschain

I cant remember the guys name right now. but there was this book i read called 'well of darkness' that was the first in a trilogy, only the first book was based around the rise of the villains. There was this whipping boy who basically was peer pressured by the prince he was whipping boy for into becoming a necromancer. That makes it sound lame, but it was really good, and the pair perform quite a bit of evil. The whipping boy hated killing good people and the magic corrupted his body and gave him nasty sores and stuff(which is why the prince had him doing it) but he really, really liked the prince and didnt want to let him down. One thing just lead to another.

Oh and harruq and quarrah from the half orcs saga! though their anti hero status does sort of change over the course of the books.

For cracks and personality, Jack Sparrow.

For sheer awesomeness, Alex Mercer. Although he is more of a demigod actually, I mean seriously, he reforms after a Nuclear blast and can literally absorb a person's health And mind. He can even cut a tank in half and turn his arm into a shield. Hell, he is halfway to flying even!

Nobody going for the Road Warrior? Fine, I'll say it, Max Rockatansky.

"The chain in those handcuffs is high-tensile steel. It'd take you ten minutes to hack through it with this. Now, if you're lucky, you could hack through your ankle in five minutes. Go."

And thus was born the Saw franchise.

To think the final scene in Mad Max might have inspired the makers of Saw is a little bit heartbreaking. Doesn't stop the first two Mad Max movies from being among the best films ever made, mind you, or mean that scene isn't completely and totally awesome.

I wasn't criticizing the scene, merely pointing out the similarities between that scene and the Saw franchise. Either hack off a body part or die, pretty much the summary of every Saw movie I've seen.

One of the most wel known, The Man With No Name- a large chunk of our modern action hero/antihero stereotypes are actually based of Mr Eastwoods performance in it.

Well, I don't read comic books, so I'm just going to go with my favorite antagonist. I'll let you guys guess who he is.

Just imagine, he's coming down on that damned hover scooter thing from his base where he's breeding a cure to this plague that's killing off a bunch of supersoldiers. He's there to stop you from destroying his secret base on this planet. Let's call him Karen...

I have no idea who you are talking about. Should I?

Well, if you've ever played Mass Effect you should be truly ashamed. If you haven't you're good, but you need to play it.
