Kind of a one-eighty from Captain America is Deadpool. Originating in the 90s he is not a hero, but at best an anti-hero. He was introduced as a villain but then like Wolverine, Boba Fett, or Snake-Eyes with GI Joe he became so popular that he got his own comics and eventually movies.
And there have been dozens of figures made of him. I had sort of a quixotic quest to get one that was pretty decent. The first one I got from Wish was pretty crappy because he fell apart at the drop of a hat:
Then I got an X-Force one in the gray suit that was OK but I really wanted a classic red one.
I got a classic red one off Mercari but the legs on it were splayed weirdly.
Then I got a bag of loose figures that came with this pants-less Deadpool which looks a lot funnier in the box:

| Was it good for you too? |
And the headless body of this one:
Finally I found the movie two-pack with Negasonic Teenage Warhead loose for a reasonable price and bought that. It's got extra guns and hands and the coloring and styling looks pretty movie accurate.
But because the character is so popular there are always going to be more versions of it.
