The heroes have had it. They've been captured and tied up, and can only watch mutely and impotently as the [[Evil Overlord]]'s final plans unfold. The large, oversized doors at the far end of his cavernous control room swing open, and in walks the [[Big Bad]] himself in an ominous swirl of purple fog...

Line 80 ⟶ 81:
*** They fixed that in ''[[Ultimate Spider-Man]]'' where he loses the fishbowl and instead just has a vaguely head-shaped cloud of fog drifting above the metal device he wears around his shoulders. It's actually rather creepy but still, the beads he wears around his left hand look kind of silly.
*** He's [[Zero Punctuation|been described]] as having been dressed by the [[Camp Gay|Liberace]] [[Space Clothes|Space Program]].
* A rather unknown (for a reason) Marvel comic called ''Thunderstrike'' featured a villain called Carjack (
* ''[[The Flash]]'' villain The Rainbow Raider: Admittedly, he is colorblind, so it's not really his fault, but still.
* ''[[Doom Patrol]]'' villain Codpiece. He has a laser cannon mounted [https://web.archive.org/web/20130121074447/http://www.headinjurytheater.com/images/dpc%20codpiece%201.jpg exactly where you would guess he does] from that name, and while he was actually pretty damn dangerous with it, the costume was no less hilarious for many reasons. Then again he fought The Doom Patrol who are... weird...

* This trope is spoofed in ''[[The Return (fanfic)|The Return]]'', where [[Big Bad]] Alexia and her [[The Dragon|Dragon]] Aurora continually dress like catwalk models with OTT fake tans and makeup and are mercilessly mocked by the heroes. Thanks to an [[Evil Makeover]] {{spoiler|Dark Mercury}} also comes in for ribbing, but she is acting more as a [[Card-Carrying Villain]] on purpose so probably feels she needs the rather hideous and impractical get up.
* The parody crossover
* In [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7295884/1/Mao_Grou this] [[Kung Fu Panda]] fanfic, ''everyone'' (yes, even the [[Villain Protagonist|protagonists]]) is a Fashion Victim Villain. The biggest offender is, probably fittingly enough, {{spoiler|Josef Stalin}}.
* ''[[My Immortal]]'' takes this to its logical conclusion, where all the bad guys are stereotypical preps wearing pink. It has the balls to depict [[Big Bad|Voldemort]]/[[Rouge Angles of Satin|Volfemort/Vlodemort/Volxemort/]][[Star Wars|Darth Valer/]][[The Matrix|Tom Andorson/]][[Lord of the Rings|Tom Bombodil]] wearing '''high heels'''.
* ''[[Queen of All Oni]]'': Minor villain [[Smug Snake|Lung]], at least in the opinion of Tarakudo. And since the former's described as looking like "[[Flash Gordon (comic strip)|Ming The Merciless']] Goth cousin", the latter may have a point. And in addition to clothes, Tarakudo also derides Lung's choice of lair, viewing his abandoned, ancient, cliffside fortress as an unoriginal cliche.
