An antipope is one who, in opposition to the generally recognized Pope, makes a widely accepted claim to be the lawful Pope.
The Catholic Encyclopedia also mentions a Natalius[1], before Hippolytus, as first antipope, who, according to Eusebius's EH5.28.8-12, quoting the Little Labyrinth of Hippolytus, after being "scourged all night by the holy angels", covered in ash, dressed in sackcloth, and "after some difficulty", tearfully submitted to Pope Zephyrinus.

 Catholic Community Forum Discussion Groups - Anti-popes?
An Antipope is someone who claims to be the current Pope of the True Church of God in falsehood.
They also have the tendency to start construction on their own community of belief professing that they are the “true” Pope, condemning the true Catholic Church and Pope, and misleading others to join their movement away from the True Church.
Along with that some of the marks of theses Antipopes and their communities of belief is that they always diverge from some Dogmatic Belief of the Catholic Church for example allowing masturbation, women ordinations, homosexuality, Free Masonry, and so on.
