Inconsistently Admirable Heroes who used to be villains but they turned to the light side and started fighting for good.

Notes[]

Please note that a character must be a villain before turning good.

• Morally neutral characters (a la "average joes") or characters initially uninvolved with any side of the conflict do not count. They should usually go under False Antagonists, Reluctant, and/or From Zero to Hero‏‎ instead. Some, however, can be villains in the past.
• False villains, if they never were evil, they do not count either. They should go under Antagonists, False Antagonists, Falsely Accused, Hidden Inconsistently Admirable, and/or Scapegoats instead. However, some heroes who are false villains in the present story can still be originally true villains in the past.
• Servants/Pawns, Heroes who served on the villain's side but in said circumstances have never done anything evil or bad do not count. They should go under Servants of a Villain‏‎, Related to Villain, Pawns of a Villain, and/or Defectors instead, unless they actually did genuine villainy.
• Jerks, heroes that were simply jerks before they became heroes also do not count if they did nothing truly evil before they actually became heroes. They should go under From Zero to Hero, Reformed, Jerks and/or Arrogant instead.
• Heroes who simply lose most of their redeeming qualities do not count. They should go under Reformed, unless they were actually villains in the past.
• Temporarily Brainwashed or Forced into it, if a hero was forced into it by circumstance or were temporarily brainwashed into becoming villains
• Heroes that simply had a bad reputation do not count. They should go under False Antagonists, Falsely Accused, Scapegoats and/or Unwanted instead, unless they actually were villains in the past.
• Antagonists, heroes who are simply the adversary of the main character in the story do not count either; they should go under Antagonists instead. The hero must be a real villain in order to qualify or formerly were actual villains before turning to the light side.
• Adaptational inconsistently admirable who were pure good or near pure good in the original work heroes who are simply altered adaptations of Pure Good or Near Pure Good heroes do not count. They should go under Adaptational Inconsistently Admirable instead, unless it is established that they used to be heroes in the continuity of said adaptations.

They often fall under Reformed as they are no longer villains. However, exceptions exist when they fall and then redeem themselves prior to their death/defeat, even if wholly reformed in some semblance (e.g. Count Bleck, Anakin Skywalker) or "redeem" themselves but become a villain again because possibly they are possessed or brainwashed (e.g. Scarlet Witch). Also, villains who never show any remorse for their past actions (e.g. King Leonard Mudbeard, DJ Octavio, Rhinox, Flintheart Glomgold, SMG3) are likewise not considered reformed.
