Category:Anti-Villain

An Anti-Villain (in contrast with Anti-Heroes who fight alongside good and inherent selfish motivations) are villains who take the side of villainy who have a noble cause of some sort.

These Fallen Heroes are rare to some extent but may be likely with Cho Sang-Woo, Darth Vader, Steven Universe.

Regular villains who are just simply on and off or closely mutual with the hero isn't enough. Since, they have to have genuinely noble goals and motivations that they use their evil with.

Also, for obvious reasons. Pure Evil (or Complete Monster), Near Pure Evil cannot count onto here. Since, a Pure Evil or any (merely) pure enough heinous villain who says what they are doing is right is delusional or mentally challenged.

For obvious reasons, Redeemed Villains would usually not go under this site. With small exceptions being Fallen Heroes being widely known for BOTH their heroical fall and villainous redemption and at least keep it that way. (Such as Darth Vader, Steven Universe) However, any Fallen Hero that ends up mostly ends up redeeming themselves and are seen to be declared more as a Redeemed Villain cannot be able to get onto here.

Also, Pure Good cannot get here. As Pure Good is meant to be portrayed as incorruptible and sheds away any corrupting qualities they seemed to once had. Pure Goods who once somewhat fell into villainy but mostly redeemed themselves should be on the Redeemed Villains Wiki instead.

Any character who was once Pure Good and fell down shows that they never were Pure Good in the first place. (Steven Universe, etc)
