Humbert Humbert - Lolita
Grendel (from the book Grendel, as opposed to the Beowulf version). And I’ll second Richard III. “Why, I, in this weak piping time of peace,/ Have no delight to pass away the time,/ Unless to spy my shadow in the sun,/ And descant on mine own deformity.” So cool.
That Shaft’s a bad mutha…

Hmmm…I already mentioned Satan, how 'bout God in the Bible? He’s the main character.

And even though He does some terrible things, you just gotta love Him. I mean…ya gotta :eek:
Simon Bolivar Digriz.
Aiken Drum, from the piliocene saga.
Do you mean James Bolivar DiGriz, the Stainless Steel Rat? He’s a definite good guy. 
All these anti-heroes and no one has mentioned Angel yet? He may not be a really obvious anti-hero all the time but there’s moments like in “Reprise” where
He just can’t seem to care and lets the entire Special Projects division of W&H get killed by Darla and Drusilla
and in the last episode, Not Fade Away:
He kills Hamilton by vamping out and drinking his blood and then breaking his neck.
Yes, I’m sorry I mean James Bolivar Digriz. It has been a while since I read a Good book featuring The Rat.
I think any hero who would rather lie on the beach, while drinking scotch, that he bought with stolen money, falls into the anti-hero category.
Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime (Judd Nelson) in Transformers: The Movie (1986). He may not have been an anti-hero in the sense that he was a “bad-ass”, but he was definitely an anti-hero in the sense that he wasn’t much of a hero until he opened the “Deus ex Matrix” to save the day. Heck, Wheelie could have done just as well. 
More seriously, Mara Jade from Star Wars would be a personal favorite of mine. An anti-hero in the more literal sense of the word. Back to the Transformers universe, Grimlock was a decent anti-hero… at times.
Anyhoo…
Jesse is a straight-up hero. Cassidy is the anti-hero.
Queen Latifah as Cleopatra Sims in Set It Off – as a spree-killing lesbian is more man than most men reading this.
South Park’s Cartman.
Boba Fett.
Robert DeNiro’s Travis Bickle from Taxi … and as Jack Walsh in Midnight Run.
TOSS-UP: The Weasley Twins of the Potter novels, and Professor Snape.
Anthony Soprano.
Leonardo DiCaprio as Frank Abagnale, Jr in Catch Me If You Can.
Christopher Walken as Frank White in King Of New York
and Jules Winnifred, wherever he’s walking the Earth these days…
You mean Winfield? I don’t think a guy named Winnifred could read bible verses before popping someone with a straight face 
.
Another vote for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and Alex from A Clockwork Orange.
I’d also like to throw in a vote for Ash from the Evil Dead trilogy: He’s kind of a coward, and in Army of Darkness he’s a selfish ass whose incompetence raises an army of the dead and causes the deaths of a lot of otherwise innocent people.
