this week Babs mention what the difference between Hero and Antihero , this got me wondering is there any Antivillains ? do they exist ? if they do , who would you consider an Antivillain
There is such a thing as Anti Villain, but Joker most certainly doesn't count (he's more of a Complete Monster or alternately Laughably Evil). Magneto and Ozymandias, on the other hand, are proper examples.
An antihero is a person who works for heroic ends, but does villian-like things to achieve them. So an antivillian would be a person who works for villious ends, but does hero-like things to achieve them.

i think it really comes down to who opposes you. i think the main difference between an antihero and an antivillian is their opposition. punisher and magneto could be considered antiheroes if they are facing people more evil than themselves (like apocalypse or dr doom) or antivillians if they are facing true hero's (daredevil or batman). antiheroes and antivillians tend to both use villianous means to work toward good (magneto seeks to protect mutants from prejudice, ozymandius sought to unite humanity) i think the main difference is that antivillians tend to be opposed by heroes more, and vice verse.
Yeah he does a lot of bad things, but in his mind its whats right,
He saw the future and the only way the world was saved was if he took control. in the end Doom is just looking out for his own people and the future of the world....just with an iron fist.
