 Contradicting Anarky 's non @-@ lethal portrayal , entries for the character in Who 's Who in the DC Universe , The DC Comics Encyclopedia , and The Supervillain Book , have falsely referred to Anarky as having killed criminals in early appearances . Norm Breyfogle was also under the false impression that Anarky had killed for several years , having failed to realize the original script for Anarky 's debut storyline had been rewritten . Grant eventually explained the situation to Breyfogle in 2006 , during a joint interview . Despite this regular equivocation of Anarky with murder and villainy in DC Comics character guides , the company made efforts to describe the character in heroic terms in promoting the 1999 Anarky series . During this time , DC Comics described Anarky as an " anti @-@ establishment loose cannon trying to do good as a hero to the disenfranchised " .
