Category:Grey Zone

"Now take Sir Francis Drake, the Spanish all despise him, but to the British he's a hero and they idolize him. It's how you look at buccaneers that makes them bad or good, and I see us as members of a noble brotherhood!"

- Long John Silver in Muppet Treasure Island.

The "Grey Zone" is for morally-ambiguous individuals and organizations. They can be Anti-Villains, Anti-Heroes, and even Protagonists.

The main characteristic of a person or group in the "Grey Zone" is that some will consider them dangerous, criminal or "evil" while others may see them as good, scapegoats, or fighting for the right thing (even if their methods are wrong). These villains try to act evil, but they have some positive and redeeming qualities.

Some characters in fiction are deliberately designed to be in the Grey Zone and it is up to the reader or viewer to decide if they are a "hero" or a "villain"; as a result, each reader or viewer will probably have a different view of him/her (V is a classic example of such a character, so is Ozymandias).

HIGHLY IMPORTANT: By definition, villains that are Pure Evil can never be in this category for they remain bad whereas it is unknown if Grey Zones are bad or good.
