I'm not sure why people thought he was the bad guy. Clubber was the number 1 ranked fighter and was being ducked by Rocky, he had a legit reason to be pissed off. When he goes into his first fight with Rocky he wins through being the better fighter. People let's all be honest here, Clubber Lang is a hero.
But that's my opinion, let's hear all of yours

I think Clubber was in the right.
He deserved the fight, and was getting dodged by a crafty Heel Rocky that wanted to hold the title as long as possible.
Sure, Clubber went about it in... not the greatest ways, but he was just trying to get what was rightfully his, a Title Shot.

I think it was Bobby Heenan that said something along the lines of "the mark of a true heel is that he always believes he is right, no matter how wrong he is". Clubber of course was right, as are most heels in wrestling today. Rocky, being portrayed as the face as he was, makes Lang the heel by default.

This would be like CM Punk winning the world title and having his next 10 defenses be against the likes of Snitsky or Tommy Dreamer, while Chris Jericho is waiting...and waiting...and waiting.
But then again, if this was wrestling CM Punk would turn heel against Micky, because he found out that Micky was setting up bonus fights just to pad his bank account, while making CM Punk looking like a chump.

Tweener, Clubber was in the right and deserved a title shot but he went about getting one like a total arsehole, to be fair to Rocky it wasn't him refusing to fight Clubber it was his manager and promoters.

He told Adrian to get a real man and killed Micky.
Yes, he was a heel.

He told Adrian to get a real man and killed Micky. Yes, he was a heel. While he didn't literally KILL Mick, he certainly didn't help matters. He was definitely a heel.

I thought he went full blown heel when he told Adrian to come over to his apartment and see a real man.

Heel. When you shove a boxer's 76 year old manager and give him a heart attack, it's kind of hard to consider you a babyface.

Not to nitpick, but I think (and could be wrong) that it was actually Michael Hayes that said that

Yeah, I think he was the first heel that Rocky faced. I can't really consider Apollo a heel, as he was loved by the fans. Heck, in Rocky II, he only wants the second fight as people were challenging his manhood.
The real true heel that Rocky first faced, though, was Drago. That man was pure evil.

Didnt Spider Rico bite Rocky in part one resulting in a Rocky beatdown against the ropes?

Let's go down the list:
Spider Rico: Jobber heel. Not much character. Apollo Creed: Rock-esque face, loved by fans despite his colossal ego. Clubber Lang: Austin-ish heel. Shoving Mick just puts him over the top. Ivan Drago: Super-evil foreign heel. Think Ivan Koloff. Tommy Gunn: Chickenshit heel. Mason Dixon: Don't really care. He sucked.
