An anti-hero is a flawed hero, and therfore, much more intresting then the more traditional heros. They can be working on the side of good, but with a tradic flaw, or a horrible past, or for reasons that are selfish and not intirely "pure". They can also be working for the side of evil, but with hidden noble intentions, or other underlying complexities. These darker heros can be jerks, pathetic, hard, jaded, or mean. However, all anti-heros must have enought heroic qualitys, intentions, or strenth (physical including attracktivness or mental) to somehow gain the sympathy of the audiance. Mostly they are intriguing and can therefore can be very, very, SEXY especialy if you love bad boys (girls). Well known anti-heros include Batman (yay Batman Begins), Angle, Draco Malfoy, and well...Napoleon Dynamite (sorry not a hot example).
Hero: I see the brave, shinning, world of tommorow!
Anti-hero: You must be delusional... And your cape's on backwards.

Person 1: I listened to Midnights. I loved Anti-Hero!
Person 2: I loved it too! Taylor Swift is the best pop artist and anyone who says otherwise is wrong.

An anti-hero is a character that could have been a hero, had they not done good things for the wrong reasons. Sometimes, however, instead of being a hero for the wrong reasons, an anti-hero exists simply to get in the main character's way.
An anti-hero can be doing a heroic thing for multiple reasons. Examples include money, power, sex, and/or publicity.

Some examples of anti-heroes are Draco Malfoy from Harry Potter, Johnny Marcone/John Marcone from The Dresden Files, and Arobynm Hamel from the Throne of Glass series.

Someone in life or in art who does the right (good, moral or noble) thing but for WRONG (short-sighted, self centred or just plain selfish) reasons.
Anti-Hero-Clint Eastwood in almost all of his Western's.
Anti Heroes- Beavis and Butthead in the episode where they save a man who has crashed in a light plane. They try to flag down a car so they can go and get a camcorder to film the wreck and sell it to television.
In the process they inadvertently alert the emergency services who save the man.
Subsequently they appear on "Rescue 911" where they are portrayed as bonafide heroes.
