	Anti-hero - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The continuing popularity of the anti-hero in modern literature and popular culture may be based on the recognition that he is fraught with human frailties, unlike the archetypes of the white hatted cowboy and the noble warrior, and is therefore more accessible to readers and viewers.
		In the late 20th and early 21st century, comic books and graphic novels featured a boom of anti-hero characters (also called "dark heroes") partly as a result of two sub-genres of fiction in the late 20th century: magic realism, originating in South America and cyberpunk, originating in the United States.
		When the anti-hero is a central character in a work of fiction the work will frequently deal with the effect their flawed character has on the other people they meet.

	Writers Store: Exploring The Dark Side: The Anti-Hero's Journey by James Bonnet
		Whereas the hero represents that part of us that recognizes problems and accepts responsibility, the anti-hero is the will to power and insatiable greed, the materialistic, power hungry, tyrannical side of our natures; the side that wants to possess everything it desires, without limit, and control everything it needs.
		The misery the anti-hero creates finally becomes unbearable, and he/she has to be destroyed.
		The goal of the hero is to liberate an entity like a family, a country or a galaxy from the tyranny and corruption that caused a state of misfortune and to create a new unified whole.
