An Antihero is someone who has flaws. These flaws may pertain to that of a villain or a dunce. Though these characters were unconventional back in the day, they have gained momentum in today’s world.

He may be a free spirirt, but he is also a free spirit with the ability to have vendettas. This could mostly have to do with his competitive personality, but he isn't the type to sit by while things in the room get heated. Not to mention that Eddie has found some adrenaline enjoyment in fighting with people. When a fist connects just right to someone's face it just makes his heart beat faster.
