I got bored again today and started to think. I've seen a lot of threads asking about everyone's favorite hero, but not one about anti-heroes. Mine would have to be Alex Mercer from Prototype. His powers are shape-shifting done right. They're all creative, they look awesome, and they make him hugely powerful like someone who can change their molecular structure should be.

So escapists, who's your favorite anti-hero and why?

edit:
it can be from any medium (video games, movies, TV shows, books, etc.)

Deadpool is cool and all, but honestly I prefer the punisher. Everything about him is so hilariously badass.

Same, most heroes don't have the balls to simply cap the bad guy in the face.

Also, does John Constantine count? He's one of my favourites. Nothing like a douchey British exorcist.

Lelouch off of Code Geass.
Well, he's more of an Anti-Villain, the only thing making him an Anti-Hero is the fact he's going up against an Empire that does much worse things on a daily basis. Well, that and he actually gets upset when he sees some of the things he's caused that aren't exactly... Nice. Such as...
The whole Euphinator business.

You are aware that the definition of an anti-Hero/Villain is "A Hero/Villain with few, if any, Heroic/villainous traits", correct?
Admittidly, I have no seen Code Geass, but if he acts villainous or not at all heroic, that you're looking at an anti-hero, not an anti-villain.

Either Harry Flashman, pictured left.

Or Ciaphas Cain.


At their core, they're very similar though, seeing as Ciaphas Cain is a 41st Millenium Harry Flashman/Edmund Blackadder.

I'm voting Deadpool too, and not because he stuffed me in an oven and kidnapped my family

Jack Sparrow. Duh. Although I am a big fan of deadpool, admittedly.

Alex Mercer, whilst awesome, lacks the entertaining personality of the other 2. Well, lacks a personality entirely, really.

I haven't had much interest in the character Ciaphas Cain, but you're telling me he is a cross of Blackadder and Harry Flashman?

This requires further investigation on my part

Ciaphas Cain or Alex Mercer, both of which have been mentioned previously. Damn.
