* Natasha Romanova, the original [[Black Widow (comics)|Black Widow]], although she reformed from her [[Honey Trap]] ways early and eventually became a SHIELD agent.
* Not surprisingly, due to its noirish roots, ''[[Sin City]]'' has quite a few. Almost every female character counts, and Dwight is the one that gets in trouble with them as they tend to go back and forth between [[Damsel in Distress]] and [[The Vamp]]. The most triumphant example from the series is in ''The Babe Wore Red''. Dwight said it best:
{{quote|'''Dwight''': The moment I lay eyes on her, I know I'm in trouble.}}
* ''Fatale'' by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips (of ''[[Criminal]]'' fame) places a horror spin on this trope which also serves to make the femme fatale in question more sympathetic; it's implied that she's supernaturally cursed to forever remain young and beautiful, and the spell also works to cause them to fall hopelessly in love with her to the point where it leads to their own ruin. It's clearly established that she hates her life and the effect that she has on men, but can't escape it.
