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

      Which one?

      The Irredeemable Ant-Man is an interesting one - he’s a low level, lazy SHIELD worker who steals an Ant-Man suit and uses it for selfish things. But you probably meant Scott Lang. I’d say Scott is more of a regular hero.

        Ant Man must be the anti-est hero, doesn’t get any anti-er than that

        Which one?

        Pym, I’d assume. I mean, the guy beat his wife, created Ultron, and is generally even more of an asshole than Stark…

          That was technically a Skrull who beat Hank Pym’s wife. A perfect replica of his personality, tendencies, and mental well-being, but still not technically Hank Pym himself. This failed to redeem him, I think.

        Yeah Scott Lang’s not an anti Hero by any stretched imagination. I would hope he doesn’t mean him.
