Plenty of people thought that Don Draper and Walter White were heroes.
Walter White was a classic anti-hero. He started out with a just cause, and was ultimately corrupted by the power brought on by his own self righteousness.
Go back and rewatch. He knows exactly what he's doing from the very beginning. He has chance after chance to get out. Each time he makes the choice to double down, knowing that what he's doing will hurt somebody, and he does it all for his own self aggrandizement.
