Thursday Thirteen: Favorite Antiheroes 1

The antihero is my favorite kind of character. The antihero has a dark side and flaws that generally make him/her more interesting than a traditional golden hero. Because most antiheroes are so complex, some might consider certain ones outright villains or definite heroes. Everyone has a different perception of who crosses the line.

When I started working on this post, I realized there are so many great antiheroes that I couldn’t pick just thirteen. Instead I listed twenty-six and split the post over two weeks. Part one of the list is pasted below. Next Thursday will be part two.

How do you feel about antiheroes? Who are some of your favorites?
