Who is your favorite antihero?

The question in the title speaks for itself, but since there's a 300 character requirement, let's define the term antihero. I find that sometimes people confuse antihero for antagonist.

Wiktionary:

A protagonist who proceeds in an unheroic manner, such as by criminal means, via cowardly actions, or for mercenary goals.

Merriam-Webster:

A protagonist or notable figure who is conspicuously lacking in heroic qualities

Wikipedia:

An antihero, or antiheroine, is a protagonist who lacks conventional heroic qualities such as idealism, courage, or morality. These characters are usually considered "conspicuously contrary to an archetypal hero". Although antiheroes may sometimes do the "right thing", it is often for the "wrong reasons" and because it serves their self-interest rather than being driven by moral convictions.
