1) Deadpool
Who else could be the best comic book movie anti-hero then the Merc with a Mouth himself?
Though X-Men Origins: Wolverine did its best to murder the character’s chances at a successful big-screen version, Deadpool has blazed his way back into cinemas recently with his very own movie. Ryan Reynolds was always the perfect choice for the part, but now he has a movie with the matching tone and confidence to showcase Deadpool in all his foul-mouthed, crude-humoured, R-rated glory.
Like a lot of other characters on this list, Wade Wilson is insane. This doesn’t leave him with a thirst for vengeance though, but instead a total disregard for reality, as he never takes anything seriously. He doesn’t care for rules to the extent that he even breaks storytelling conventions by forever smashing down the fourth wall.
The opposite of other popular, more wholesome heroes, like Spider-Man or Captain America, the barnstorming success of Deadpool shows that people love a good anti-hero.
