List of most popular Anti-Heroes

#1. Black Widow ( Alter-Ego: Natasha Romanov ) : How is Black Widow an anti-hero?  The reason Widow is an anti-hero is because she was a villain first, and will fight pretty much anyone (even her own team of Avengers) and because she will kill many people (including innocents) to get what she wants.
