Anti Hero - Bad guy in their own film, lacks conventional hero qualities, much more common in modern films

Side Kick - Usually comic relief, secondary to protagonist, audience voice, doesn't get the girl

Tragic Backstory - Ie Batman, had something bad happen to them and that's what motivates them
