 * Examples: Sunset Shimmer, Dr. Neo Cortex, Carrie White, Dr. Evil.

Type IV: Remorseful Anti-Villain (Grey Zone Character)
Same as the Type III, But they are Sympathetic, as well are very ashamed in what they become, but they try to be the 'Villain' for some characters, But to others they are 'Heroes' and commonly they are Truly Heroes, Even they can redeem like the other Type of this Kind.


 * Examples: Snowball (The Secret Life of Pets), Homura Akemi, New Goblin (Harry Osborn), Mello (Death Note).
