WORD OF THE DAY
Antihero • \ANT-tee – here-oh\ • Noun - A protagonist or
notable figure who is conspicuously lacking in heroic qualities.

his share of flawed superheroes and antiheros; such as Spiderman, the
Incredible Hulk, and the Submariner.
“Show me a hero and I’ll write you a tragedy.” F Scott
Fitzgerald.
