History Main / AntiHeroTeam

* ''VideoGame/StarFox'': The Star Wolf team started as a generic "evil Star Fox" group, but in sequels, the team becomes more anti-heroic. The removal of the two "scum" characters Pigma (a traitor) and Andrew (nephew of the main villain in ''Star Fox 64'') and the addition of a ladies' man named Panther (who falls in love with a character on the heroes team) gave them an opportunity to work with Star Fox.

* All of the Titans in ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo''. They're more childish and less serious than the usual depictions of this trope, but also portrayed [[AdaptationalJerkass far less sympathetically]] than their [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans previous incarnation]], often times being {{Heroic Comedic Sociopath}}s with skewed morality and few traces of nobility.

* ''LightNovel/RebuildWorld'': Sheryl's gang, basically the support structure Akira builds for himself with Sheryl acting as SupportingLeader to make up for his NoSocialSkills, is one that [[WrongSideOfTheTracks dominates the slums]] using [[AppealToForce fear]]. Akira himself is an UnscrupulousHero who has [[BlueAndOrangeMorality a strange view of morality]], Sheryl is a GuileHero expert at influencing men via HoneyTrap, Katsuragi is a duplicitous ArmsDealer, Viola is a KnowledgeBroker constantly PlayingBothSides, Inabe is a manipulative CorruptCorporateExecutive, Erio is a former TheStarscream who got set straight, Colbert is a shady ShellShockedVeteran underworld enforcer, Carol is a PredatoryProstitute who drives men to ruin, Babalodo robbed his former team to pay Carol and got stuck in IndenturedServitude, and Revin… is just ButtMonkey under similar servitude.

* ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'':

* ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt'': The protagonists. The titular duo are a pair of {{Jerkass}} {{Nominal Hero}}es who ''really'' [[PunchClockHero don't want to their job]], though Stocking evolves into a PragmaticHero, only to be [[spoiler:revealed to be TheMole [[EvilAllAlong the whole time]]]]. Garterbelt is a generally good person, but he'll rape little boys for the sake of [[spoiler:keeping the power of Hell's Gate out of the wrong hands]], and he even [[PedophilePriest enjoys what he does]]. Chuck [[ChaoticStupid is too stupid]] and [[TheChewToy is too unlucky]] to be a valuable teammate. Finally, there's Brief, the only truly white character in the series, but he's a {{useless| protagonist}} ClassicalAntiHero and DoggedNiceGuy towards Panty who [[spoiler:has the power to unleash HellOnEarth.]]

* ''Manga/GTOTheEarlyYears'': The Oni-Baku and their friends are a gang of JapaneseDelinquents who are really only heroes because they're the protagonists, and almost all their enemies are even worse. [[BloodKnight Eikichi, Ryuji, Saejima, Kamata, and Katsuyuki]] are the most violent, but Abe and Makoto are unrepentant horndogs, and Shinomi's basically a [[DistaffCounterpart female Eikichi]] in terms of her personality. Tsukai is a NiceGuy compared to the others, but still pretty HotBlooded when people badmouth his girlfriend Yui. She's probably the only one who doesn't actually engage in violence (though she has shown a willingness to), fulfilling her role as TheChick.

* The protagonists of ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureGoldenWind'' are a group of Italian mafiosi who are fully willing to kill and torture their enemies, as well as commit various other crimes if necessary, but nevertheless have morals and are fighting for what they believe is right. [[spoiler:Polnareff]] muses that all of them are society's outcasts, but they may be the world's only hope.

* ''VideoGame/JetSetRadio'' has the main characters be rollerblading teenage street gangs that cause vandalism via graffiti. But they do so for the sake of freedom of expression against a powerful if tyrannical corporation that has turned Tokyo into what's basically a police state, as well as just messing with the law enforcement.

* Creator/MarvelComics also has Daimon Hellstrom: The ComicBook/SonOfSatan. The BadassCrew he joins in ''ComicBook/MarvelZombies 3'' is a team of antiheroes, including ComicBook/{{Morbius}} the Living Vampire and Comicbook/WerewolfByNight.

* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsIntoReverie'': C's party is comprised almost entirely of former assassins, terrorists, and other one-time criminals. For most the game, they work behind the scenes doing [[TheUnfettered what's necessary]] to uncover the truths behind the current incidents in Crossbell and move the more public-facing heroes in the right direction, including claiming responsibility for an airship hijacking, stealing equipment from an Intelligence Division officer, and breaking into a prison to contact a VIP.

Often leads to BlackAndGrayMorality, GreyAndGrayMorality, BlueAndOrangeMorality, or PoliteVillainsRudeHeroes. Overlaps often with RagTagBunchOfMisfits or NeighborhoodFriendlyGangsters when the gangsters in question are the good guys.

An Anti Hero Team is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin, a group of people consisting of {{Anti Hero}}es. Sometimes, there will be an AntiVillain on the team or even an IdealHero or TheCape. In that case, it will be a mixed team. Both {{Token Good Teammate}}s and {{Token Evil Teammate}}s can show up on these teams. The mix of exact moral alignments makes these types ripe for internal conflict, but when [[FireForgedFriends push comes to shove]], they [[ChangedMyMindKid stick by each other more often than not]].

* Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse:
** In ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'', the eponymous team is comprised of one hero, four anti-heroes, and one anti-heroine. Moreover, the anti-heroic characters exemplify [[Analysis/AntiHero different shades of anti-heroism]]: [[ComicBook/IncredibleHulk Bruce]] is a ClassicalAntiHero (Hulk is a NominalHero), [[ComicBook/IronMan Tony]] and ComicBook/{{Thor}} are [[KnightInSourArmor Disney Anti-Heroes]], while ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}} and ComicBook/BlackWidow are {{Unscrupulous Hero}}es. ComicBook/CaptainAmerica is the only proper hero on this superhero team - though Thor is on the borderline.
** ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'': The eponymous Guardians are a straight-up bunch of anti-heroes, with the team being made up of thieves, career criminals, and assassins.

* ''Manga/ShonanJunaiGumi'': The Oni-Baku and their friends are a gang of JapaneseDelinquents who are really only heroes because they're the protagonists, and almost all their enemies are even worse. [[BloodKnight Eikichi, Ryuji, Saejima, Kamata, and Katsuyuki]] are the most violent, but Abe and Makoto are unrepentant horndogs, and Shinomi's basically a [[DistaffCounterpart female Eikichi]] in terms of her personality.

She's probably the only one who doesn't actually engage in violence (though she has shown a willingness to), fulfilling her role as TheChick.

* ''Series/PersonOfInterest'': [[FanNickname Team Machine]] consists of a [[CreepyMonotone softspoken]] NonIdleRich [[MysteriousBacker backer for vigilantism]] who [[BigBrotherIsWatching created God]], an [[TheAtoner ex-hitman]] [[GoodIsNotNice who likes to shoot people in the knees]], a [[GoodFeelsGood former]] DirtyCop, a SociopathicHero who [[RunningGag just likes to shoot people]], and a [[MisanthropeSupreme ruthless]] [[TheCracker hacker]]/[[FauxAffablyEvil mercenary]]. [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg And]] [[ToBeLawfulOrGood Carter]], though she ''does'' start to edge towards AntiHero [[spoiler: before her death]].

* ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt'': The protagonists. The titular duo are a pair of {{Jerkass}} {{Nominal Hero}}es who ''really'' [[PunchClockHero don't want to their job]], though Stocking evolves into a PragmaticHero, only to be [[spoiler:revealed to be TheMole [[EvilAllAlong the whole time]]]]. Garterbelt is a generally good person, but he'll rape little boys for the sake of [[spoiler:keeping the power of Hell's Gate out of the wrong hands]], and he even [[PedophilePriest enjoys what he does]]. Chuck [[ChaoticStupid is too stupid]] and [[TheChewToy is too unlucky]] to be a valuable teammate. Finally, there's Brief, the only truly white character in the series, but he's a {{useless| protagonist}} ClassicalAntiHero and DoggedNiceGuy towards Panty who [[spoiler:has the power to unleash HellOnEarth]].
* ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'': The five {{Magical Girl}}s are mostly anti-heroic: Madoka herself is a ClassicalAntiHero, Mami looks like a heroic character but is ultimately a KnightInSourArmor, while Sayaka ''is'' a truly heroic character but veers right into the KnightTemplar and eventually [[spoiler:TragicHero]] territory. Meanwhile, Kyouko and Homura are {{Unscrupulous Hero}}es, with a key difference that Kyouko [[ItsAllAboutMe only cares about herself]], while Homura's motivations revolve around another person, [[spoiler:specifically, Madoka]].

* ''Manga/DarknessHeelsLili'': The Darkness Heels (composed by [[Franchise/UltramanZero Ultraman Belial]], [[Film/UltramanTigaTheFinalOdyssey Camearra]], [[Series/UltramanTiga Evil Tiga]], [[Series/UltramanNexus Dark Zagi]], [[Series/UltramanOrb Jugglus Juggler]] and [[OriginalGeneration Lili]]) are built up to be a team of very reluctant anti-heroes composed of a power-hungry galactic conqueror (Belial), a possessive and jealous conqueror (Camearra), a manipulative and ambitious individual who wished to rule Earth (Evil Tiga), a cunning berserker who wished to cause ruin (Dark Zagi), an AntiVillain[=/=]AntiHero swordsman obsessed with proving his strength at all costs (Jugglus Juggler) and finally a supporter of an opressive regime who slowly grows a consciense (Lili). It's telling that Lili is so far the least evil and closest to pure good out of the team.

* Creator/MarvelComics also has ComicBook/DaimonHellstrom: The Son of Satan. The BadassCrew he joins in ''ComicBook/MarvelZombies 3'' is a team of antiheroes, including ComicBook/{{Morbius}} the Living Vampire and Comicbook/WerewolfByNight.

* ''[[ComicBook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy The Guardians of the Galaxy]]'', like their film counterparts below, feature the half Spartax Starlord, the deadliest woman in the galaxy Gamora, Rocket Raccoon, Groot, and Drax the Destroyer. They also feature members such as [[ComicBook/AngelaMarvelComics Angela]], Iron Man, Mantis, and ComicBook/KittyPryde.
