Well, most people nowadays make things and simply call it a day or brainstorm a lot and make it into a realistic idea. But sometimes, what they make can be good.

I wonder if we should consider Iron Man an anti-hero? I mean he's a walking mech weapon. He also ran the illuminati which did several things that were far beyond heroic lens but had the intention of doing good. He also facilitated the destruction of several universes. He went to war with Inhumans because he was angry that a teenager with foresight predicted his friend would die and he did. He also abducted that teenager and tortured him because he was mad about that. Part of his anger was just that his business wasn't successful.

He also overtly became a villain for a period.

Well, doesn’t Superior Iron Man make him an anti-hero?

Superior Iron Man was more straight up villain. He exploited every day civilians by giving them beauty lifts with nano-tech, and then caused the nano tech to make them ugly if they didn't pay regularly. Full villain.

Got it.

Superior Iron Man was actually pretty solid for a villain.

Based on those observations, yeah, Iron Man could be considered an anti/hero. Albeit that it was mostly concerning business affairs or tyrannical decisions.

Wait, wait, what about redemption, can't some characters who started off as villains become heroes, like hawkeye and black widow, weren't they iron man villains who become avengers members? and what about Venom, Doc Ock, Norman Osborn (aka the Gold Goblin), Quicksilver, and Scarlet Witch, well not so much her after M-Day, but still, there are some who started off as evil, but slowly gained character development and turned into the adorable heroes we loved today?

Yeah, probably, but really only depends if they did crimes back in the day, but are now reforming and finally became a hero.

Naw i think you definitely can be redeemed. Former villains can be heroes if they work to it. Its been 50 years or so since Quicksilvers been a villain
