Our very own Tantz made a newspost last week about the idea of “Heroes” who are really villains… or at least they're actually villains who think ...

No, this article isn't about the mythological beings. I wouldn't want to steal any single one from Andreas Helixfinger's awesome Sunday article series.

What I want to talk about is the metaphorical unicorn: a character that is too good to be true, too unlikely to be found ...
