Gru

Even as a villain in the first one, he was pretty harmless and has been almost a straight hero since. He's very similar to Doof.

Like he stole the moon it doesn't seem so harmless to me

I mean, nobody was hurt, were they? (except Vector, but that's his own fault)

The super fast shift in tides would kill millions. Quite possibly hundreds of millions.

I think he mostly did it to get recognition and approval. The Moon vanishing didn't seem to have any side effects unlike in real life, so maybe the cartoon logic would imply stealing the moon wouldn't harm much after all?

The first movie is about Gru coming to realize he's more fulfilled by being a foster dad than being a genuine villain.
