Anti-Villains

The term anti-hero has been around for a long time heroes who do not follow the basic set up for what a hero is and almost is on the edge of villainy now with that in mind I thought of hey what about anti-villains villains who are not like your run of the mill villains who's actions and morals could almost make them good guys? Villains who say do not kill or work for the overall better good of humanity through dastardly deeds since it is the only way or villains with high moral codes and honor. Arguments are welcome here are some I picked out and I would enjoy to here your own opinions and characters you say meet these terms. 
 

Yeah, I love how Johns has taken the Rogues from dated relics bordering on jokes to old school, blue collar crooks. I think the Secret Six fit what you describe as well. They're mercenaries who will work for just about anyone and do just about anything, but they remain a smidge more ethical than those they run up against.

by this description about 70% of villains, are Anti-Villains, because the majority of them believe they are doing the right thing.

" @Sexy Merc: Yay Death Note reference! :D "

" so wait, an anti-hero and anti-villain sound like exactly the same thing to me, what's the difference?  for example someone mentioned Lucifer, I don't think he's a hero or villain, he's his own alignment "

" @Rothschild: he would if he had the chance    id say the tskmaster he isnt malicious or wants to feck anyone up "

Ra's Al Ghul though a trillionare immortal fiend his overall goal is to make the Earth a better safer place and to save the enviroment 
 

The Rogues though some could argue that they are just old school I think that with their rules and guidelines it sets them on a plateau high above over villains with their laws against killing innocents women and children only killing when necessary and no tolerance for narcotics. These reasons is why I like these guys so much 
 

Though an egomaniac dictator Black Adam really wants what is best for his people and has a high moral code and honor. He will let you live if you prove yourself or he will even try to resist hostility to the best of his reason. He even has worked on the side of good. But if you cross him WATCHOUT "

Personally, I think....

Not really none of the anti heroes would ever steal or rob a bank like an of the Anti Villains.

He did have the chance and he shot the guy in the head who wanted him to kill the kids  "

Who in the DC Universe could be consider an Anti-Villain?

@amalgamdcmarvel8: Sinestro would work

only wants to protect people, and thinks the best way for people to be safe is if they are scared and cautious

I wouldn't say Ra's Al Ghul is an anti villain. I mean he wants to wipe the majority of humanity out. I don't see how that goal can be interpreted as good.
