Mal as a hero antagonist? I wouldn't agree to that. He was the main antagonist, just on the wrong team. Alejandro could be a villain protagonist for episode 9-10.

The closest Hero Antagonist would be Owen and Gwen in TDA. Because of Owen being the reluctant mole, and Gwen being manipulated by Justin and hated by everyone even though she had no wrong at all.
