@asdfadf1904 many super heroes like Wonder Woman, the Flash, John Steward, Thor, Captian America, Hawkman, Tim Drake.
Gimli and legolas.
And in anime and video games there are tons.
Having a tragic backstory is just the easiest way to write a character and explain their flaws, but it's lazy. Otherwise you need to craft your story much more delicately with much more attention to detail, extra events and characters to show what the specific character is like, how he/she acts and what choices he/she makes. With some mentions or flashbacks of their earlier life.
Having an underdog gives you a blank slate and removes the need to have a backstory beyond what currently is motivating the character. Though usually they combine tragic with underdog nowadays for the strongest and yet laziest effect.
Having an evil character turn good is also the easiest way to win the audience and change the variables within the plot.
Those are not the only way to write characters.
There can be an ambitious character, proud character, greedy character, selfish or selfless, and this would allow the character to not be so black and white. Sometimes doing things that would beneift themself, other times helping those they want to help, etc, etc.
