Evil Diva: Difference between revisions

 

Not to be confused with the webcomic [[Evil Diva (webcomic)|Evil Diva]].

 

== Anime and Manga ==

* [[Virtual Celebrity|Sharon Apple]] from ''[[Macross Plus]]''

* Utau Hoshina from ''[[Shugo Chara]]'' rips out the Egg of Dreams from the hearts of her fans. {{spoiler|Until she has her [[Heel Face Turn]], that is.}}

 

== Comic Books ==

* In ''[[The Escapist]],'' the eponymous jazz saxophonist in "The Siren Song of Circe O'Shaughnessy" makes her listeners commit burglaries for her.

* [[Spider-Man]] has the D-List villain, The Hypno-Hustler.

* ''[[Scott Pilgrim]]'' has Envy Adams, one of Scott's exes who found massive success in the music world and has transitioned from cute geek girl into full on [[Alpha Bitch]]. That said she isn't so much evil as a [[Jerkass]] with hints of [[Jerkass Woobie]].

 

== Film ==

* The titular characters in the ''[[Josie and the Pussycats (film)|Josie and The Pussycats]]'' movie become like this, albeit unwittingly. Josie herself winds up getting [[Brainwashed]] with [[Subliminal Seduction|subliminal messages]] in order to turn her into a bitchy diva who will break up the band and pursue a solo career (the record company was getting annoyed with Melody and Valerie, and felt that Josie could sell more records on her own). A more conventionally evil example would be Fiona, the diva-ish CEO of MegaRecords, who, while not a singer herself, was the one responsible for putting subliminal messages into her label's music in order to [[Subliminal Advertising|sell consumer products to teenagers]]. {{spoiler|Her ''real'' goal, however, was to use the messages to get people to like her and look up to her as a fashion idol, having never gotten over the brutal humiliation she suffered in high school for her bad teeth and her lisp.}}

* [[Hot Witch]] Alisa in the movie adaptation of ''[[Night Watch]]''. She's played by Russian pop star Zhanna Friske, by the way.

 

* The would-be assassin in the first episode of ''[[Merlin (TV series)|Merlin]]''. The singer was a disguise, a glamor, but she still put everyone into a coma-type thing so she could kill Uther and Arthur and only failed due to Merlin's intervention.

 

== Music ==

* Judging by [[Lady Gaga/WMG|her WMG page]], this wiki seems to have come to the conclusion that [[Lady Gaga]] is a [[Real Life]] version of this trope.

** Although [[Ke$ha]] gives her a run for her money. She really does try to at least make evil sexy! Or, more like using empty temptations of sexiness to get people to abandon [[The Beatles (band)|perfectly]] [[Elton John|good]] [[Kanye West|musicians]] [[Money, Dear Boy|just so she can make money is evil.]] Same difference.

 

== Tabletop Games ==

* One of the many suggested plots in ''[[Mutants and Masterminds]]''.

* Also a common occurrence among Abyssals in ''[[Exalted]]''. Or [[Alternate Character Interpretation|Solars]].

 

== Video Games ==

* Lord Raptor from ''[[Darkstalkers]]'', at least in the backstory, was a male instance of this. The OVA series even includes a scene where he delivers another performance merely to suck up everyone's souls.

* Courtney Gears from ''[[Ratchet and Clank]]'' could mind control fellow robots with her songs, though the [[Crush! Kill! Destroy!]] theming was fairly obvious.
