Heroes to villains

There are a lot of villains who have crossed the line into heroism - Punisher (when he first started), Venom, Juggernaut, Magneto (for a while) but have there been heroes who turned into villains? All I can think of is Hal to Parallax, but that didn't last long.

Terra from Teen Titans, well sort of.

Dark Phoenix?
Are we talking Heroes going all the way into villainy or just acting badly for a time and coming to their senses?

Faith in Buffy TVS........ but then in Angel she reverted to being a "goodie"

Colossus started out good, then became bad, and then became good again.

So, I'll take that as a no. I was talking about crossing over permanently like the way Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch started out with Magneto then crossed over to heroism permanently, with the Avengers. Similarly with Medusa, who's now with the Inhumans. Silver Surfer was kind of a "villain" in his first appearance then became a hero right after that storyarc. But there aren't many instances where a hero crosses over permanently. DP acted badly. Hal went insane for a bit.

It looks like their setting up the Toxin series to do something along those lines... 😕

There is bound to be someone.

There has to be.

John Jameson is the only one I can think of off the top of my head. But he doesn't stay bad either, nor is he consistently superpowered: He's first infected by "Space Spores" starts out as a superhero but then becomes increasingly arrogant and villianous. He is removed of his powers and becomes normal again. Then he becomes the murderous Manwolf... then he becomes normal again and then he becomes Stargod (superhero wolf guy fighting battles on distant worlds). Then he becomes a regular mortal again with no memory of these past glories. 😮

That dude former JSA member. I think he was part of the Hawk and Dove duo, he became Extant. He stayed permanently bad.

Does Amazo count?

He was a JLA member, but he is now their villain.

Well, does he count?

Technically Deadpool was always a bad guy. I mean mercenaries arent very nice people.

Yeah, Hank Hall--Extant, he's a pretty bad mutha--shut yo' mouth! Whoa, babe, just talking 'bout Extant.

spiderman did for a wiel when he had the venom costume

Unless you're talkign about the cartoon version, Terra was always a villian working for Deathstroke, and a little crazy to boot.
