It's hard to imagine a picture of Light where he appears both a protagonist and a villain (or most characters, for that matter). The Axis, however, are iconic enough that the villain part can be inferred from the flags, and the way they look gives off more of a protagonist vibe.
So basically, I'm falling back on the old 'a good example doesn't mean a good picture, and an arguable example doesn't mean a bad picture' argument.

Nope. Plus the manga is too cute for anyone can be a villian.

The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.They are not, I believe. Furthermore, the Light caption told us that he was the protagonist (though it does suffer from Just A Face And A Caption.) Does anybody have an alternative image/suggestion? Maybe...the cover of a Death Note something, that clearly shows that Light is both psycho and the main character?

The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.The current image
◊ is too big (1024x768), and I think could be replaced with something better instead of being shrunk; the fact that the show is called "Dr. Horrible's..." is important IMO. Two suggestions:

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.The file is bigger than it needs to be, which takes longer to load; and various image editing applications are better at resizing images than web browser applications. I don't know how it got there, the upload form prevents images that big from being uploaded.
Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.Your suggestion doesn't actually show him doing anything evil.
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.Neither does the current image, he is just a guy holding a gun :) The trope is "Villain Protagonist", Dr. Horrible is an obvious villain name, it's his show... don't think he needs to be kicking a puppy or whatever. The title card is the important bit, IMO, and that's a better one. (The fact that Captain Hammer is the same size as Dr. Horrible in the current image is another strike.)

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.How about the box art from Destroy All Humans? That seems pretty explicit.

Hey, the image on this page was switched from Light to Axis Powers Hetalia. Personally, I think Light was a much better example. Thoughts on the matter?
