An Anti Hero is basically a good guy who is kinda bad, or does good things for bad reasons. Deadpool's a classic example of an Anti Hero

That's not what an anti-hero is. The anti-hero is when the main character is the bad guy. Think Walter White or to a certain extent Dexter Morgan.

    The term antihero gets misused a lot, but villain protagonist is absolutely not correct either. An antihero does not have to be the protagonist, and a protagonist who is a villain is still a villain, not an antihero.
