After his death, Ned Kelly has often been depicted as a sort of Robin Hood, fighting the authorities and police force as the representatives of Britain as the "colonial oppressor"of Australia.

In reality, he committed a substantial number of robberies and murders and there is no evidence that he did this for the benefit of the poor or just as a gesture of defiance towards the authorities.

So we can safely call him a villain who later was made to look by some as a victim or a hero.

What else can I help you with?
