True, Chas, these are more humorous or parody heroes than "anti-heroes..." An "anti-hero" is generally either a character who simply makes the hero's life more difficult without being a hero or a villain (as, say the main character of "Dr. Who" was in his first few stories, before he BECAME a hero), or an outright villain. Darth Vader is, essentially, an Anti-Hero. These have been more fun than the traditional anti-hero so far... :-)
