We have seen many movies or read comics about heros since we were kids, most of our attention was dragged by their amazing powers and supernatural experiences. Supernatural events that would lead them to overcome the most difficult adversaries that only they would be capable of defeating, using their unnatural abilities. As we immerse on this type of universe we learned about many of this unique characters and also about some other characters that were not like them at all. Characters that do not have this heroic moral.
These types of heroes are called Antiheros, but let’s see more about these characters and their current definition. The definition for antihero is a character that lack conventional heroic qualities and attributes such as idealism, courage and mortality. They usually perform actions that are morally correct, but that does not apply to all of them. They often act primarily out of self-interest or in ways that defy conventional ethical codes. This type of behavior makes them look like more a human being than a hero in some way, since heroes have this unbreakable mindset to achieve what is morally correct all the time.
This Antihero behavior connects with most of us, their decisions might be questionable, but that is the beauty of the character. This connection to them is what makes us have this representation of an idea that we like and we have in common. Their representation becomes something important to us, that we want to be noticed and having a character immortalized in our skin works as a reminder and gives us a good feeling that they are with us in our daily lives.
