It's especially fun if your name is similar to a comic character that you don't care for

Source: have a name that's similar to an anti-villain

Edit: y'all are cracking me up!

Yuan Fang?

(He is just plain evil and selfish but edgy highschoolers call him anti-hero so...)

Anti-villain? So ... Like a .. hero?

Anti-Villains are somewhat the opposite of Anti-Heroes. While the Anti-Hero often fights on the side of good, but with questionable or selfish motives and methods; the Anti-Villain plays a villain's game, but for a noble cause, or with respectable qualities, in a way that the audience or other characters can sympathize with. They may be more noble or heroic than an Anti-Hero, but the means to achieve their ends are often considered exploitative, immoral, unjust, or just evil.

So characters like Magneto or Poison Ivy
