I do not like the new 52 origin,it turns him from a tragic villain to a creep. Which is why I always refer to his BTAS origin.

Batman is a hypocrite for stopping a murderer?

I did not think that Freeze was a murderer! sorry

He... he freezes people....to death....

If i am being blocked it is probably because you are too sick of your opinions being questioned. That is really relatable. No sarcasm here.

I'll start with the obvious one:

• Atrocitus- He's an anti-hero, If the Punisher is not considered a villain, why is Atros? The only "good" people he has killed are Green Lanterns and that's because they work for the self proclaimed Guardians, the others he has killed because they got in his way, just let him do his thing, he's delivering judgment

• Sinestro - This one is much more trickier. Sinestro wants order, the problem is the methods he's willing to use. With Sinestro, just like my next one, it's all about perspective

• Black Adam - The same as Sinestro, he will protect his people. There have been various times when Adam has gone "good". Again, it's all a matter of perspective, he, just like Sinestro, may be tyrants but as long as you follow the law you are much safer under them than in a place like Metropolis. Order requires sacrifice

• Ivy and Mr Freeze - Somebody already explained why they are not full on villains. Good reasons, wrong methods

Atrocitus is not, by any stretch of the definition (and it has been stretched, a lot) an anti-hero.

These are all villains, Not anti-villains, not sympathetic villains. Straight up murderers.

A criminal out for revenge.

A despot who abused the power given to him.

A despot who abused the power given to him.

An ecoterrorist and murderer.

A guy who can't get over the death of his wife and just because he's working on a cure between all the murderings we're supposed to like him?

Ecoterrorist, murderer and rapist.

"An anti-villain is a person that does crimes/villainous deeds for what they see as a noble cause. An anti-villain is the opposite of an anti-hero, but an individual can be both depending on their goals and how they are willing to obtain them."

The Red Lanterns see what they do as a holy crusade, even "the Judge" decided that she could not see Atrocitus as guilty. Although his goal is the death of the "Guardians" and their creation (green lanterns) he, along with his Lanterns go around "punishing" the guilty, they do NOT kill innocents unless they really have to. When he arrived on Earth the first thing he did was save a bunch of people in a train from criminals, even Carol said that "love" was protected. He then went on to burn a bunch of prisoners because he could feel the rage of their victims. Like I said before, if Marvel's Punisher is not considered a villain, neither should Atros.

With Black Adam and Sinestro I understand, they have done some pretty questionable stuff but at least Sinestro think he is doing it for the greater good, as selfish and ambitious as he is. Even though his methods may be seen as "evil", he actually cares about his people.

In one comic when he's a Green lantern again Sinesteo returns to his world and his people are scared of him and hate him and want him to leave and don't believe he's changed. I don't see how he is meant to be anything other than a villain.
