What makes them heroes is that they continue to be heroes, even if the people they are saving or protecting don’t quite appreciate them. Not everyone can be Superman or Spider-Man.

In fact, some of these misunderstood heroes have been the most interesting ones in the record books. Audiences love to root for the underdog, especially those that have flaws and aren’t fully appreciated. So Film School Rejects has assembled the list of the ten most misunderstood heroes in cinema history…

Sweet list here. Jane as Punisher was great. Stevensen was crap and his plot was crap. Darko def on e of the best underappreciated and less known films.
