also all the characters you've listed qualify, in my view as long as a user can give facts on why someone is a villain and back it up with.. well.. facts.. then there is no reason to delete the article or say "x is not a villain because they are the "hero" of a franchise".

For a good example of a character that is a hero yet still a villain look no further than Punisher, who varies between a vigilante to a down-right psychopath depending on writer.. or any GTA character (possible exemption of CJ, who is a decent guy - by GTA standards).

This is why I recreated Mr. Bean, of all characters, because despite being a "hero" he has done some crappy things - which have been chronicled and available for the public to view.. thus he qualifies in my view.

As long as people don't try and exaggerate them into things they are not (which sadly happens to often) I'm fine with "Fan Villains" or "Alternate Character" outlooks.
