You know...this is actually tougher than I thought lol. There are a lot of scenarios that I would exclude here:
- Villains who turn good for a time -- maybe even years -- but eventually turn evil again.
- Villains who oscillate between villain and hero/antihero.
- Villains that turn good right at the end, and we don't get to properly see them as a hero.
- Villains who turn good right before they die, or even sacrifice themselves (sort of like a pre-death redemption lol).
- Heroes who became villains, and then became heroes again.
- Characters who were barely villains (and sometimes only in a minor sense), and who we've seen the vast majority of their time as heroes instead (e.g. Gambit, who was part of the Thieves Guild).
- Characters who are only "villains" in the sense that they oppose the protagonist. This role is often filled by a cop or agent of some kind.
- And then there are some that technically work here, but I'm just not the biggest fan of their characters (e.g. Winter Soldier).
So as far as people who actually fit the bill, I'm going with:
- Vegeta
- Hiei
- Zuko
- Piccolo
- Rogue
And that's about all I can really think of. I might be missing some.
You run a tight ship, @indomitableregal, but not tight enough.
How culpable was the Winter Solider for his actions? If he wasn't culpable...actually you do run a pretty tight ship. Dang. lol
I don't think he was culpable to be a villain, but either way, he's the reverse of your third rule since I don't think we see much of him even acting as a villain since it's more flashback stuff, right? I don't remember.
Also, you're not the biggest fan of Winter Soldier? I may or may not have been planning something for your birthday, and I may or may not have to check eBay right now so I may or may not be able to return a replica...do you have a fire place to melt a metal arm into something?
That's a fantastic set of rules. I like them.
Boromir has to walk the plank too then.
I thought Rogue might have behaved like an anti-hero during the Remender Avengers stuff though. Was she part of the time travel stuff?
