In fact, heroes are always shaking up the power structure and ideologies because that’s what heroes do.3. The antihero can have a moral compass and stand up to bad guys in addition to well-intentioned people the anti-hero thinks are pushy, uninformed, arrogant, etc.6. There are plenty of hot anti-heroes out there (Draco in Leather Pants, anyone?). There are fewer plain-looking classic heroes, but they do exist.7. Antiheroes can have love interests, although the love interest is more likely to move on or die (especially if the male anti-hero needs a motivation)11. Heroes of all shades are chiefly reactive: responding to problems within their society. If anything, antiheroes are more likely to be reactive because they’re constantly trying to one-up the antagonist.12. Antiheroes can be Fallen Angels. They can also be ginormous dicks of their own accord.13. Swearing, drinking, taking drugs, and sleeping around is “bad boy behavior”? Nah. Almost everyone swears and drinks, and sleeping around or taking drugs doesn’t make you inherently bad.16. Antiheroes can change. If you have an antihero protagonist, they should change because character arcs are important.19.
