Typically the Punisher can be a good guy not only a antihero. Where´s Leonidas, Titus Pullo, Nico Bellic along with Lobo?

Constantine most certainly wins this contest. We have one of the coolest anti-heroes and charismatic badasses in comic history and we got one of the most wooden actors of all time to play him. It is completely sad. Ignoring Constantine, it was a mediocre paranormal action film, but I would argue that one can't ignore Constantine in a movie called Constantine. http://www.videodetective.com/movies/constantine/91543#.T9owb7WWeJQ Also, here is hoping that Preacher an have a decent movie.
Not trying to be an ass but Kratos isn't looking for revenge for the death of his brother, he's looking for revenge for the trickery Aries caused into murdering his own Wife and Daughter
Dolph Lundgren as HeMan. Just thought I had to remind everyone of that. Have a nice day.
I could go along with most of the Watchmen leads, Lobo and Venom (either Flash or Eddie); The Darkness would be another good choice. However, Norman Osborn, Jaime Lannister and the Comedian are just villains, no matter that they see thselves differently.
I would, however, offer two names for consideration. The first is V from the V FOR VENDETTA comics, where he straddles the line between hero and villain. The second is Raistlin Majere who switched back and forth between hero and villain.
I find a hot place where you meet sexy and rich cougars. I would say dating a rich cougar is great not only because she is your lover but she would also have that motherly instinct with you as well and be able to comfort you like a younger women may not be able to.Plus there would be no games like their could be with younger women.Also their sexual experience is invaluable in bed trust me and they tend to be secure and set in their lives.Just my opinion but a rich older women is great and that's nothing against younger women. I am dating hot rich cougar on this website:====== sugarmommameet.com=====

Joe Pitt the anit-hero in Charlie Huston's Joe Pitt series should be on this list. If you don't know who he is here's a little about him: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J...
Richard Sharpe of Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe's series. He's a true bastard, and it only takes reading Sharpe's Gold to see just how far he's willing to take things. Now, I will say that he's not as bad as some of the people on this list (they're supernatural ffs), but for being set in reality during the Napoleonic Wars... the man is a straight bastard.
ok fine, but by definition the "anti-heroes" are the bad-guys and are not supposed not be heroic in the first place so why complain about them living up to their code o_O
what you should worry about are all the so called super heroes who don't act very heroic
According to me.A hero hurt and kill the evil and save the innocent.A antihero dont kill the evil.A villain hurt and kill innocent.It´s as simple as that.If you dont kill evil people they can keep on being evil.The Punisher is a hero not a antihero.Kratos is a villain not a antihero.Most guys on the list are villains.Antiheroes, batman, spiderman, superman and thosands of others.
The Punisher is a hero not a antihero. Where´s Leonidas, Titus Pullo, Nico Bellic and Lobo?
I actually saw this list and thought "J.C. should be number one and that will probably never happen"
Imagine my surprise as I read the list and saw my favorite street mage as #1.
Awesome.
Jamie Lanister is a straight up villain, not an antihero. And why isn't Roland from the Dark Tower series not on this list? WTF?!?
The fact that you listed Harkness before Sparrow makes me love you. Also, amazing list. I've got some new antiheroes to get familiar with. Thanks much. :)
"Alucard uses his vast supernatural powers to taunt his enemies, making them think they have a chance before killing them horribly. Which still sounds like a better deal than spending a night with Edward Cullen."
This had me laughing my ass off for a solid two minutes. I still grin when I read it. It's so full of WIN! And damn, Constantine in the comics is way more bad-ass than that pitiful shadow of a Constantine in the movie. I've got to go out and get me Hellblazer comics!
Big points for putting Hellblazer at #1. The guy is as big a danger to his friends as he is to the Devil!
Vegeta, on the other hand, is a genocidal maniac, and I never did like how DBZ always glossed over that.
Sorry guys but,Guts from Berserk is not on this list so I can't even take it remotly serious. Very bad reserch Rob.
I was initially going to complain that The Punisher wasn't higher on the list! Like, top for example but then I saw the top three and I dont think I can really fault them!
You know, the internet is a funny place and nerds as a group are funny people. No matter how wide-ranging a list you write, you've always included the wrong people because you missed that ONE character from that obscure comic 46 people bought last year.
To the people who gave nice comments - thank you!
I didn't include the Comedian because I don't really see him as a hero, considering all of the horrible things he does over the course of WATCHMEN. I didn't include Ozymandias either, not necessarily because he shouldn't make the list (though I do think it's debatable he was a "hero" in the end, given how many people he killed) because he was on my last list.
I didn't include some of the other characters mentioned (e.g. Guts) because I've never heard of him, despite doing my due diligence and spending an unreasonable amount of time scouring the internet for antiheroes!
Unfortunately I don't get paid enough to be omniscient... yet.
I think this list is pretty good dude. No way you're going to please everyone and heavy hitters should always be picked over the more obscure choices... Thats why I think its good that really obscure characters arent on this list - if they havent made the impact to reach a wider audience then are they that impressive/important. You could argue that at the very least...Where do you stand on Judge Dredd though? Would he come under antihero?The only one I would have changed is Lannister really but thats my own personal opinion, i'm not arguing that he's right in being on the list. I just might not have had him so high.Good job though!
I honestly, honestly thought Jamie Lannister was the bad guy. But I haven't read the books yet. The definition of an antihero would be a protagonist who lacks the classical heroic qualities, then? In that case, it's a great list, nice work.
So..the Comedian, who does heroic things for selfish reasons isn't an anti-hero, but Deadpool, who sometimes does heroic things based on his random motivation is one. And Ozymandias is very much an anti-hero. He's killed *maybe* as many people as the Punisher. You're basing it on 'oh he killed people and there's a fine line of how many people you can kill'? He killed so many people, all of his scheming, manipulation, EVERYTHING, for the sake of a 'heroic ideal', and did it in a 'ends justify the means' ideology. How the bloody hell is that *not* anti-heroic?
So Deadpool makes the list, but not a single character from the Suicide Squad comic? Okay. And Saint of Killers doesn't strike me as a hero, anti or otherwise.
Have you read Preacher? The Saint of Killers was a good guy who got stiffed. In not too a dissimilar way that Frank Castle was. I'd definitely have him in this list.
Meanwhile, Tyrion Lannister is probably my favorite antihero of all freaking time. Seriously, I adore the Imp.
Kind of thought Green Goblin might make this list as I went through it. Given everything that happened with him leading up to Dark Avengers and such. Just the whole, Norman Osborn sending Peter Parker that fucked up letter denouncing their whole crazy past as a stunt to keep heroes transfixed on villains in costumes as opposed to the villains on Wall Street and in corporate America is probably some of the best-craziest writing for a story I've seen in Spider-Man.
Vegeta doesn't really belong on this list, for the simple reason that he's a loser who's always getting his butt handed to him.
Kain from the Legacy of Kain games.
Vae Victus!He starts out as a straight up Vampire brought back from the dead to wreak unholy vengeance against mortals and enemies alike. Plays like a straight up villain for almost the entirety of the first game using things like Flay and Putresence on peasants and enemies alike - then in the later games his 'heroic' side starts to come forth. Great games and some of the best voice acting ever. It's good to be a proper bloodthirsty cursed vampire.Spider Jerusalem as well, he's a bit of a mad drug addled bastard, but he does put himself in the line of fire to get the noble story.
Scar from Fullmetal Alchemist. He ravages the State Alchemists to repay them for the atrocities at Ishval. There's several times where you start to feel for the guy, until you remember that he's really just a brutal killer, no matter how justified he is.
