I've seen this happen a lot lately, where users add Anti-Villain to articles that really don't count.. I think some users don't understand the concept and it needs to be enforced better (I know admins can only do so much).

an Anti-Villain (to my knowledge) is a villain who as "heroic" traits or goals.. they have a code of honor or they want a better world but go about it the wrong way.. guys like Magneto etc..

they are not what the wiki used to refer to as Anti-Heroes.. which are heroes with "villainous" traits (Judge Dredd, Punisher, Deadpool, Lobo).

if a villain is Nihilistic, Chaotic Evil, Traitorous, Pure Evil or similar you really aren't likely to find them as an Anti-Villain.

we need to clarify this a bit as it is definitely misused.
