The story of Robin Hood is the one which have changed the most over the past 500-600 years. In recent years through Film and T.V. he is a Hero to many people. The film starring Errol Flynn The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) portrayed him as a swashbuckling hero who always defeats the bad guy. Same can almost be said for Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991) as he is shown again as the good guy defeating the bad guy.

Robin Hood was put towards a younger audience in the Disney animation Walt Disney's Robin Hood (1973). Basically Robin Hood's story and himself is far from what it originally was but i prefer to hear the modern day story of him which is depicted through film and T.V.

The rest of the list are true people from American history who definitely are bad people, but are seen by some people as anti-heroes. Most recently Jessy James was played by Brad Pitt in the film The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007). This film is an adaption of the novel.

Overall through media these people have been glorified into people. At the same time they are shown as anti-heroes, but we shouldn't commit the crimes which they have done.
