This is a list of fictional anarchists; the source material in which they are found; their creator(s); the individual(s) who interpreted them as anarchists during development (if not originally created as such); and short descriptions of each. An anarchist is a person who rejects any form of compulsory government (cf. "state") and supports its elimination. Anarchism is a political philosophy encompassing theories and attitudes which reject compulsory government〔Malatesta, Errico, ''Towards Anarchism''.〕 (the state) and support its elimination,〔"(Anarchism )". ''Encyclopædia Britannica''. 2006. Encyclopædia Britannica Premium Service. 29 August 2006〕〔"Anarchism". ''The Shorter Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy''. 2005. P. 14 "Anarchism is the view that a society without the state, or government, is both possible and desirable."〕 often due to a wider rejection of involuntary or permanent authority.〔Bakunin, Mikhail, ''God and the State'', pt. 2.; Tucker, Benjamin, ''State Socialism and Anarchism''.; Kropotkin, Piotr, ''Anarchism: its Philosophy and Ideal''; Malatesta, Errico, ''Towards Anarchism''; Bookchin, Murray, ''Anarchism: Past and Present'', pt. 4; An (Introduction to Anarchism ) by Liz A. Highleyman〕 Anarchism is defined by ''The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Politics'' as "the view that society can and should be organized without a coercive state."〔Slevin, Carl. "Anarchism". ''The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Politics''. Ed. Iain McLean and Alistair McMillan. Oxford University Press, 2003.〕 However, fictional anarchists are subject to the personal interpretations and opinions of Anarchism held by the creator, and as such may imbue negative anarchist stereotypes. Further, characters may be interpreted as anarchists by second parties involved in their development. The inclusion of these characters may be controversial, but is necessary for purposes of objectivity. This provides a means by which social attitudes regarding anarchism and anarchists may be studied and compared to those of other eras and cultures. Characters who are popularly considered "anarchic", but who are not specifically identified as anarchists by source material, are excluded. ==Comics/sequential art== ; Anarchik: A parody of the "bomb wielding, bearded anarchist" stereotype. He appeared in ''Rivista Anarchica'', by Roberto Ambrosoli, ''ca'' 1970, and is often reprinted in contemporary anarchist pamphlets. ; Anarky: A comic book character appearing in various DC Comics publications as an antagonist of Batman. He was created and co-developed by Alan Grant & Norm Breyfogle in 1989.〔 ;Boy: A martial artist, former NYPD officer, and member of an anarchist secret society in ''The Invisibles'' (1994) by Grant Morrison.〔 ; Evey Hammond: A protégé of V, an anarchist terrorist in ''V for Vendetta'', by Alan Moore & David Lloyd in 1982. Evey eventually adopts V's role.〔 (A FOR ALAN, Pt. 1 ), an interview by Heidi MacDonald, in which Alan outlines the core theme of the story being that of an ethical and political battle between Anarchy and fascism, and that V is an anarchist. In (A FOR ALAN Pt. 2 ), Alan explains that V is neither hero nor villain, but an allegorical force for Anarchy. Evey later assumes the same role in the story.

Appearing in ''Green Arrow'', and various other comic books, published by DC Comics, he was created by Mort Weisinger & George Papp in 1941. He was revamped in 1969 by Dennis O'Neil, who characterized him as a political progressive and dubbed him an "anarchist".〔When Dennis O'Neil recreated the character in 1970, he envisioned him as "a hot-tempered anarchist to contrast with the cerebral, sedate model citizen who was the Green Lantern." (''BulletPoints Reviews of Green Lantern/Green Arrow v.1'' ), Raging Bullets.com. Accessed 18 January 2007〕 ; Jack Frost: A young hooligan, possibly a future Buddha, and member of an anarchic secret society in ''The Invisibles'' (1994) by Grant Morrison.〔As early as the first issue, references to anarchism, including the circle-A and Kropotkin, are made, however the members of The Invisibles are not identified within the text until the second volume. "American Death Camp" ''The Invisibles, volume 2'' #11 December 1997 DC Comics; "The Tower" ''The Invisibles, volume 2'' #22 February 1999 DC Comics. Within the comic The Invisibles are generally represented as an organization against all forms of oppression and for total liberation. As such, anarchism is only one facet of their larger world view.〕 ; King Mob: A magician, assassin, terrorist, and member of an anarchist secret society in ''The Invisibles'' (1994) by Grant Morrison.〔 ; Lord Fanny: A Brazilian, transgender shaman, and member of an anarchist secret society in ''The Invisibles'' (1994) by Grant Morrison.〔 ; Pillock: An intellectual pelican, in Donald Rooum's ''Wildcat'' (1985).

She was created in 1988 by Jamie Hewlett & Alan Martin for their independent comic series, ''Tank Girl''.〔The character, Tank Girl, self-identifies as an anarchist in ''Tank Girl: Apocalypse'' #3 (January 1996), by Alan Grant and Andy Pritchett.〕 ;V: An anonymous, English terrorist with enhanced strength, reflexes, and mental capacity. He is perhaps a genius or merely insane, and acts as an allegorical force for anarchy.〔 He was created by Alan Moore & David Lloyd for their 1982 comic series, ''V for Vendetta''. ; Wild Cat: An anarcho-punk cat created by Donald Rooum in 1985 as the lead character in his comic strip, ''Wildcat''.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of fictional anarchists」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
