Anti-villains

Antagonists/villains that lack the qualities of a traditional villain despite being immoral, having amiable traits, excuses for being evil, or a noble behavior. Often in Time Warner media, these villains will reform or temporarily work with a hero for a shared purpose.

They are also not to be confused with tragic-villains or reformed villains. Although they can overlap, reformed or tragic villains are not necessarily anti-villainous.
