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 ;
lack of positive qualities such as "courage, physical prowess, and fortitude", and "generally feel helpless in a world over which they have no control";
qualities considered dark traits, usually belonging to villains, that may be tempered with more human, identifiable traits that blur the moral lines between the protagonist and antagonist.
