Heroes that are Oddly Evil

[Thaius]

Does Dr. Horrible count? 'Cause he's definitely a good guy, but he's trying to be evil... kind of confusing. Amazing musical, though.

 

[Carbonhunter]

Black cat and Rhino from Spiderman are allegedly evil with good intentions, although Cat's more a thief than a killer, spiderman himself has been quite evil come to think of it... I'm confused by this thread, do you mean evil characters who become good??? In that case Dinobot from transformers beastwars lol.
Or do you mean evil characters who're pants at being evil, like Spydra from gadget boy...

 

[Maphis]

Kratos, from god of war there isn't a thing that guy wouldn't do for vengeance.

 

[Susano]

Doubtless the message would have come across better if he wasn't the only one without any serious problems in the real world (though Ritz's trauma was so retarded she's basically on the same line). Or if the game didn't seem so unsure whether it wants to outright state that their Ivalice really was not real.
However, if you choose to interpret that way, Marce really did have a case. Not the most heroic case perhaps...

Ok, I have a question about Ritz's problem.

Did the american side lose something in translation? Did she really have a condition that made her hair white and that's why she didn't want to go back?

I gotta think somehow the localization team fucked that one up.

Maybe Albinism?

 

[Nocturnal558]

I'd like to nominate Marche from Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. He finds himself in a dreamworld where all his friends have the one thing they wanted most - his crippled brother has functional legs, his downtrodden friend is the highest authority in all the land, he himself has confidence. He interacts with the denizens of this dreamworld on a daily basis, and finds that they're as deep and real as the people back home, with thoughts and feelings and aspirations of their own.

And what does he do? He tries to get back home, despite having everything he's ever wanted.

He discovers that the only way to do this is to destroy the Macguffins holding the world of Ivalice together. They're literally called The World Thread. Whenever he encounters anyone else from his old home, they beg him to stop, to stay here, where they're happy. People who are aware of The World Thread beg him to not destroy their world.

Does he listen? Fuck no, you're coming home. Doned, better say goodbye to your legs, 'cos you're going back to the wheelchair. Mewt? I know you miss your dead mum and wish your dad wasn't such a depressed loser, but it's time to bid them adieu. Cid? Try not to kill your son out of neglect when we're back home, kay?

I agree! Stupid Marche.

Kratos, from god of war there isn't a thing that guy wouldn't do for vengeance.

Beat me to it D:

 

[Red_Serpent]

Riddick, Deadpool and Guts (from Berserker)

 

[Numb1lp]

You can make that guy from inFAMOUS evil.

 

[rokkolpo]

what heroes can you think of, from whatever, that unintentionally come off as slightly evil~?

i would say Ash from Pokemon. he's always trying to defeat team rocket, even when team rocket is doing nothing wrong, is practically defenseless, and sometimes even asking for mercy~

Also he has many slaves to do his bidding so he may collect treasure and fame.(badges)

 

[bladeofdarkness]

how is it that many people seems to be naming people who are either extremely dark anti-heroes or outright villain protagonists ?
the point was heroes who accidentaly end up looking evil
not villains who get the sympathetic POV which makes them LOOK heroic when compared to others

 

[PlasticTree]

Very obvious, but not less true: HK-47.

 

[banthesun]

 

[FallenJellyDoughnut]

Wrex and as HG131 said, Gordan Freeman.

 

[Wintermoot]

Light Yagami.

Proving to us all that the only way to have a peaceful world is to kill everyone who is a troublemaker.

he wanted to be the only bad person left on earth

 

[Wintermoot]

Mario he saves the princess by stomping on other creatures even frying one of them in lava while being stoned

 

[tthor]

i forgot! so, lets add ~animal cruelty and gambling on animal fights(is there some special term for that..) lol

 

[Mark the Paratrooper]

Soturos and Manardi from Golden Sun.
They were trying to save the world but had a "by any means nessecary" attitude towards it and were the antagonists of the game.

No way! People besides me played that game? Did you play the second one, "The Lost Ages" I believe.

 

[Dr. Paine]

Just gotta say it; Eragon.

Damn it, you beat me <_<

But I'll provide the substance:

Namely, in the third brick that was shat out, in the 'Mercy, Dragonrider' chapter.

Yeah, no. Instead of using your magic to disguise yourself, hide, whatever, you walk across the desert, do nothing to hide from the redshirt bad guys approaching you, and what do you do? Kill them all, including one completely defenseless newbie who was forced on the current assignment. And claim it was merciful because of some oath, which I'm pretty sure you could break through the gigantic hole of a magic system you use.

 

[-Drifter-]

Gordon Freeman. He never did say sorry for killing the Vortigaunts in the first game.

He was just trying to survive. It was kill of be killed.

Besides, it's hard to apologize when you're a mute.

More on topic, Nathan Drake was set up to be the good guy, but he wasn't much better than the mercenaries, killing thousands of men for treasure. He could have given up the chase at any point.
