Black Adam and Emma Frost are the other way around - bad people turned good.

Black Adam spent the majority of his comics life as a villain, but is now more a ruthless anti-hero who dispenses hard-line justice. He overthrew a corrupt goverment, and the people of his country embrace him as their leader. Was tricked into joining the villains society, then left when their true purpose was revealed, and allied himself to the right side.
( Of course he killed Psycho Pirate right on the spot, but that's hard-line justice for you...)

Lately he's been in between. He has committed some acts of heroism in the past. His good deeds outbalance his bad deeds. Only during the IC have I seen The Spectre turn pretty bad.
He's just does what he does. He's not good or evil.
Originally posted by roughriderI see what you're saying from a certain perspective, and that's how I feel about Black Adam.... but in DCU, there's a written fine line of what a hero is, and Black Adam is not one of them, he's a villain.
