#1: THE PUNISHER:
The Punisher (Frank Castle) is perhaps one of the best examples of an anti-hero - created and owned by Marvel Comics this vigilante is both a protagonist (with his own series and film franchise) and antagonist. He has also allied himself with the Thunderbolts.
Frank Castle was once a decorated U.S. Marine with a happy life and family, until one fateful and tragic day when he and his family accidentally stumbled upon a gang lynching in a park. His wife and children were gunned down and he was left for dead. Horribly scarred for life, Castle swore to "punish" all criminals in any way possible, and became a violent vigilante hellbent on wiping crime off the face of the earth.
The Punisher is a borderline sociopath who is obsessed with killing criminals - he does not just solve crime, he brutally punishes those who commit such acts. What makes the Punisher stand out from most anti-heroes is his tendency to utilize murder, kidnapping, torture, coercion, extortion, and other illegal methods to get the job done and he is rightfully feared and respected by those who know of him.
The Punisher has always been blurred between the distinction of "good" and "evil" but is as worthy of note as any other anti-hero in fiction (especially given his brutal nature).
Despite his faults, the Punisher does not wish for anyone else to follow in his own footsteps and he will not kill innocent people unless he knows they are secretly evil..

#3: HULK:
Although a caring being at heart Hulk often lets his rage guide him and can become a savage monster when he unleashes his full rage... and as any Hulk fan knows the angrier Hulk becomes the stronger Hulk becomes, Hulk also tends to lose control of his sanity when he does this and can go into a berserker rage in which nothing - be it friend or foe - will be left standing. Also, the Hulk's possibly most amoral and selfish incarnation, the Grey Hulk spent an extended period of time working as an enforcer for a crime boss under the alias "Joe Fixit". In many cases, though, the Hulk has either been possessed by outside forces, rendered entirely mindless, or simply provoked beyond the point of endurance by the many, many misfortunes and tragedies he has suffered throughout his life..
#4: GHOST RIDER:
Jonathan "Johnny" Blaze is a stunt motorcyclist who sold his soul to the Devil. He became possessed by the fiery mad angel Zarathos and become Ghost Rider, the Spirit of Vengeance, a superhuman being possessed by a lust to punish the guilty and consume their souls.
After defeating the Devil in Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, Johnny has become an angelic being on a mission to protect the innocent, the Spirit of Justice..
#5: FRANCIS - LEFT 4 DEAD:
Francis attempted to steal a flat-screen television two days after first Infection. When he is caught, his claim that he is a cop gathering evidence for a crime is not taken seriously. He is next shown in a bar boasting to his friends about why he is going to jail. When one of his friends reveals to him that Pennsylvania jails do not allow conjugal visits, Francis' presumed girlfriend Sandra then says "better not waste anymore time" and grabs Francis' arm and pulls him into the bar's back room. Francis and Sandra begin kissing in the back room when she gets sick on his vest. He almost leaves, but she convinces him to stay and then promptly bites him. She is about to attack him when Francis's paranoid friend, Duke, shoots her. Realizing that this is no ordinary flu and that most people cannot be considered human anymore, Francis realizes the possibilities of the lawlessness the outbreak has brought, and has Duke and Danny lug a jukebox to the roof where he grabs a shotgun to begin picking off Infected one by one with Duke, Danny and a few other barmates.
It is unknown what had happened to his friends, but it is most probable that he either left them or they weren't immune or carriers and succumbed to the flu at one point of time before Francis had joined the group. In the Sacrifice, Francis admits to Zoey that he finds his old friends more fun to be with during the apocalypse but would not have lasted two weeks if he hadn't met the group..
#6: BATMAN:
In his earlier works The Dark Knight Returns and Batman: Year One, Frank Miller's incarnation of Batman managed to well-maintain his heroic qualities even with the darker nature of the narratives. However, in later stories All Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder and The Dark Knight Strikes Again, Miller's incarnation of Batman is a sociopathic "hero" that is universally hated by both critics and readers alike..
#7: BIG DADDY - KICK ASS:
It is shown that Big Daddy may be insane, as he turns his daughter into a murderous vigilante. He is merciless when dealing with criminals (even minor criminals) despite being a superhero. Hit-Girl has also brutally killed people with no mercy. Big Daddy also shoots his daughter in the chest twice to show her what it feels like. The film version of Big Daddy's mannerisms were based on Adam West's Batman.
In the 2010 film adaptation, Damon (as Big Daddy) has stuck on facial hair to resemble a possible goatee with the chin hair removed, while Damon only has a small moustache..
#8: SEVERIOUS SNAPE - HARRY POTTER:
He was a double agent between Dumbledore's and Voldemort's warring sides, whose allegiance remains a mystery for the major part of the franchise. Although bitter, unfair and abusive, it is revealed that he was siding with Dumbledore since the murder of Lily Evans, his true love.
He was most notable for killing Albus Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwarts, near the end of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, albeit remorseful of it afterwards as shown in Deathly Hallows - Part 2. He was portrayed in the films by British actor Alan Rickman, who also played Hans Gruber in the 1988 film Die Hard..

#5: MADONNA:
Not much to say..
#4: MILEY CYRUS:
I never liked her myself.
But did "respect" her once..
But it's fair to say.
She lost that privilege..
#3: LADY GAGA:
Se probably still is, I don't know.. It's been many many years since I cared about Lady Gaga.
But her song Just Dance was once a token of my childhood, so I should at least mention her under this list..
Putting her as MAYBE still hot, but who hell could tell under all that max up and bizarre hair styles.
At least with Katy Perry you can tell she's still pretty hot, even under all those stupid outfits and shit..
#2: LINDSEY LOHAN:
A perfectv example of how once innocent people can become FUCKED UP..
#1: BRITTNEY SPEARS:
She use too be so friggin hot,
WHAT HAPPENED!?
No wait..
We KNOW what happened.
She went bold.
And took too many drugs.
Nobody cares about her anymore.
Though at least her voice is still pretty.
Unless the grand theft auto song was written BEFORE her rampage..
Not much to say..
