TL;DR
Is there such a thing as an Antisparticle?
In supersymmetry, are there corresponding antimatter particles to the Susy sparticles similar to the corresponding standard model antimatter particles, e.g., antiselectron, etc.?

Charge is a big clue :-) Still, it is not easy to do a simple explanation because most supersymmetry is done with Weyl fermions. Let's take for reference the positron. Does a weyl fermion contains the Left and Right parts of the positron, or does it contain the positive and negative charge pieces of a Left particle, say? If the latter, does it mean that the two scalar partners are one of them positive and the other one negative?
