V

V is the titular main character of the comic and film "V For Vendetta" - unlike most characters in fiction V was deliberately created to be a character that could be viewed either as a hero or villain depending on the personal feelings of the reader/viewer: which Moore believed was an important aspect of the story he was trying to tell.

To many V is a freedom-fighter and protagonist, fighting to free the world from the oppression of the unquestionably vile Norsefire organization (who parallel in many ways the Nazi Party at the height of their power): yet V, in the original comic, was more of a terrorist and an anarchist than he was portrayed in the subsequent live-action film. {| class="toc" id="toc"

In Popular CultureEdit

 * V has become the unofficial mascot of Chan culture as well as the wider "Anonymous" movement, which in itself is seen as a controversy (with some seeing it as tool for change or harmless fun while others see it as an example of online griefing and "trolling")&nbsp
