I had my orientation today for my Master's Grad Assistant program. Within the program I can either chose to do 36 semester hours which includes 12 core semester hour courses and 24 elective semester hours, OR 12 core semester hour courses 18 elective semester hours and a thesis. The staff encourage students to do the thesis because if a student decides to go on to get a Ph. D, doing a thesis is a prerequisite. We're encouraged to try and pick thesis topics that fit the topic of Criminology, but also is a subject that we enjoy. One of the ideas I have, is to write a thesis on the theory of why the anti-hero character has become so well liked in Pop culture. With that being said, I'd like to see what some of the anti-heroes the members of the forum here think fits this bill.
There are certain ones that are going to be obvious, like Deadpool, Venom, Spawn, The Red Hood, and The Punisher. I was thinking I could even tie it all together by mentioning some real life anti-heroes, like Bernard Goetz. So if you can't think of any comic book anti-heroes, maybe you could help give me an idea of some that are a part of actual history like Goetz.
