Whether a permanent indication of malevolence, the emergence of the [[Super-Powered Evil Side]] or perhaps the result of a [[Berserk Button]] or [[Rant-Inducing Slight]], these eyes are ''clearly'' not a good sign. Though they aren't necessarily the province of villains—particularly powerful heroes often manifest this trope when it's [[Let's Get Dangerous|time for the gloves to come off.]] Unlike [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]], this ''always'' means immediate trouble, and thus are near the top of the hierarchy of [[Uh-Oh Eyes]].
Line 12 ⟶ 11:
[[Sub-Trope]] of [[Glowing Eyes]], which merely indicate power. [[Super-Trope]] of [[Glowing Eyelights of Undeath]]. This trope sounds like it should go hand-in-hand with [[By the Lights of Their Eyes]], but it doesn't.

▲== Anime & Manga ==
* Lelouch in ''[[Code Geass]]'' (and everyone else with Geass) does this every time the Geass is used.
* For [[The Hero]] of ''[[Fist of the North Star]]'', Kenshiro has a '''seriously''' evil-looking pair of ''[[Red Eyes, Take Warning|red]]'' Glowing Eyes of Doom whenever you [[Too Dumb to Live|get]] [[This Is Unforgivable!|him]] [[What an Idiot!|seriously]] [[You Are Already Dead|angry.]]
Line 217 ⟶ 216:
* In an episode of ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'' entitled "Slapsgiving 2: Revenge of the Slap", we see Lily's "you're dead to me" look, which is kind of an overly dramatic [[Death Glare]]. The camera zooms in on her face, her hair starts swirling around, she starts breathing intensely, and her eyes light up with a fiery glowing.
* Johnny B. of ''[[Misfits of Science]]'' developed glowing eyes when his electricity-based powers were fully charged up.

Line 355 ⟶ 352:
** Reynardine does this occasionally.
** {{spoiler|His cousin}} Coyote's eyes (and he has many) glow when he's [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=492 showing off his awesome power], which, if he wanted to use it that way, could mean certain doom for just about anyone.

* [[Lackadaisy]]: While not ''literally'' glowing, Viktor's eye is often noticeably shaded lighter than his surroundings would logically cause it to be, giving it a "glowing" look (aka The Glare Beam). This is especially noticeable during the firefight with the pig farmers, which takes place in a darkened garage. During this scene, everything is shaded so as to give an impression of pitch blackness... except for Viktor's scary, glare-y eye. The fact that he's a ''cat'' doesn't hurt either.
