Jesse James and Ned Kelly. Both were procecuted and harassed by the local lawmen, paid for by the greedy establishment, until they were forced to go rogue and become outlaws for self preservation.
......captain james Kirk.....(star.trek).....hates Klingons........not only that but great hearing......his right ear....left ear....and his final frontier....and Spock would agree with that to....for he has a point.....
Kattte: Interesting choice, I'd add Louis-Ferdinand Celine; Certainly Nietzsche, or rather his sister as it seems she actually wrote most of what was attributed to him. Dali or sure.
Nietzsche was certainly a dark character. But was he larger than life in that cool and charismatic way? Could Nietzsche ever be described as a leader of men? I'd have to say not. Nietzsche was the supreme omega(read:social dregg), and although I know nothing of his sister, I do know that women are seldomly, if ever, heroic of any sort.
I'm going to add Lord Byron seen as he was the precursor who embodied and romanticised the anti-hero.
pedalguy59: Some of us have fav. hero's, so who is your fav. Anti- hero, fictional or real?
I don't know if it counts but.... John Milton (played by Al Pacino) in 'Devil's Advocate'. His speech about God, and him (Milton) being a 'humanist', a 'fan of man' is true brilliance!

I love that speech too.But then Pacino can do speeches very well!
