In many comic books we see how people take the law into their own hands and essentially break the law, but it is to stop an injustice caused through their societal unjust laws. Most of these comic book characters are called vigilantes within their societies and they are believed to be unjust, yet these “vigilantes” have the better idea of justice. The vigilantes will have the better idea of justice because of the ideals they carry with them and because they are the main character of the story, if they did not have the better sense of justice they would not be the focus of the story. Most people who read the comic books will call these characters heroes. In Antigone, we see Antigone say “My brother, and yours, though you may wish he were not. I never shall be found to be his traitor” (line 56). In this scene Antigone is talking to her sister, Ismene, about their brothers’ deaths and how only one has been buried.

Superman, Wonder Woman, Spiderman—what do all these characters have in common? They are all products of the human aspiration to be saved. The word hero is passed around too much these days. A hero is not a football player that scores the game-winning touchdown or the goaltender who saves his team from a loss. A hero is usually an ordinary person that did extraordinary things. A true hero is really never a hero at all; at least not in their own mind. However, there are various cases today in which we see the exact opposites of these characters, the anti-heroes. The anti-hero is one who cannot be classified as a hero, for that said character lacks natural heroic qualities. However, the anti-hero cannot be described as a villain either.

Another instance where V 's actions harm innocent people without caring was when he ordered innocent people to wear Guy Fawkes masks and march to the parliament to watch the explosion. These citizens could have been killed by the military officers who waited for orders to strike though no orders were given.

His evil actions present him as a rebel against the government and his fellow citizens. He also states that ‘ 'violence could be used for good.

Anti-heroes do not solely exist in the fictional world. There are people in the real world, everyday who fit the anti-hero description. They are… the Mob. In ancient times loyalty was purest form of respect. It was a way of life. One was loyal to his or her family, govern, king, and God. Hand in hand with loyalty, comes the right to revenge. The Mob is one of the few “societies” that has reserved that tradition. For example: when a family member is assassinated, it is not only the right, but also the duty of the surviving family to avenge that death. This loyalty to one’s own, coupled with the fierce determination to protect them, are incredibly heroic qualities. Organized crime families are oohed and ahhed by the press and pop culture, and have their own fans. While these people are not ideal role models, they possess heroic qualities worthy of aspiration.
