Arrogant

Arrogant Heroes are condescending heroes who have excessive pride as a prominent part of their personality. They are the heroic counterpart of Arrogant villains.

They can often be cocky and self-centered in their beliefs and think they know better (or are better) than everyone, and they are often so prideful that that they think they're smarter than everyone around them and view people as inferior to them, but mostly not very much. Mainly of all and because they aren't humble without a sense of modesty (it's in fact extremely rare for a arrogant hero to be modest), and they always assume they are right about everything they believe all the time. It can be a fatal flaw for the hero, especially an exaggerated sense of pride that can be that similar of a egotist, who eventually learns to overcome it. These characters, alongside Egomaniacs, can be capable of coming across as selfless despite the arrogance they show.

They are the polar opposite of insecure villains, although the two often overlap, as a result of having inferiority complex which leads to putting up an arrogant attitude to hide insecurities deep within.

Note: Pure Good heroes never fall under this category, as arrogance is typically one of the many anti-heroic traits and due to their usually rude and sometimes selfish nature. Pure Goods never think they are better than anyone and never think they are right all the time unless they must know first before or never assume at all. Pure Good heroes have no corrupting qualities, even if some arrogant heroes can never fully turn evil, and if they did had been arrogant, they would have subverted it eventually (e.g. Escanor).
