Either Homelander or Public Spirit from Marshal Law. I'm leaning more towards the latter because he came first and because Homelander is already used for the Corrupted Character Copy page.

"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanSo is this a form of Anti-Hero? I'm not against the trope. I think it can be one of the variations of Anti-Hero present on Analysis.Anti Hero, but I just need clarification on what makes Evil Hero different from Nominal Hero.
I mean, if Anti-Hero is the grey scale between white "Good" and black "Evil", I would guess that Evil Hero falls in the straight-up "black" next to Nominal Heroes "A Lighter Shade of Black".
- Classical Anti-Hero = good intentions + Fatal Flaw(s)
- Knight in Sour Armor = The Cynic + Jerk with a Heart of Gold
- Pragmatic Hero = Mundane Solution + (Ideal Hero - The Idealist)
- Nominal Hero = good deeds - good intentions
- Unscrupulous Hero = good intentions + evil actions
- Evil Hero = Card-Carrying Villain + heroic job +/- heroic image
Pot holes in as we have seen before are pretty annoying. Can we reduce these to one or two?
You are a lovely human being. Hide / Show RepliesNot sure what you mean with that.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanLooks like it hasn't, since a search doesn't turn up anything, and it's not on the launch list.
Not a bad concept, though, IMHO, so it might be worth doing so.
I think the Trope Image for this page should be Homelander from The Boys. If nothing else, he might as well be the Trope Codifier for this in modern pop-culture.
As far as I know he is the poster-boy for the Evil Superman trope. Not just for this website, but for regular people too.
