Category:False antagonist

Heroes who are believed/mistaken supposed to be the villains, but are not. They are mainly anti-heroes in nature or simply act like bad guys from the start, but as the fiction where they appeared in progresses further, they eventually revealed themselves as one of the main characters and faces the true/other antagonist orBig Bads, often either worse than themselves or their evil counterparts. This is the heroic counterpart of False heroes or rogue protagonists.

These characters are most antagonistic heroes, which reinforces the initial belief they are villains.
