Line 75:
** Villainess Lady Deathstrike definitely qualifies.
** Death Adder. If the name isn't enough, [[Reptiles Are Abhorrent|he's a member of the Serpent Society.]]
** Deathbird, [[Cain and Abel|sister of]] [[Royally Screwed -Up|Shi'ar empress]] [[X-Men (Franchise)/Recurring Characters/Characters|Lilandra]].
* ''[[Transformers Timelines (Franchise)|Transformers Timelines]]'' gave the name Deathsaurus to a villain who was once the [[Big Bad]] of ''[[Transformers Victory]]''.
 
Line 433:
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'': EVERY homunculus. Come on, they're called after the seven deadly sins. [[Obviously Evil|How bad can you get?]]
* Subverted in ''[[Darker Than Black]]'': "Havoc" is definitely a run away name, but she's actually [[The Atoner]]. It fit [[Complete Monster|before]] her [[De -Power]], though.
* ''[[Blood Plus]]'' Corpse Corps, anyone? Although by the time you get to the end, you'd run away from the [[Badass|Chevaliers.]]
* ''[[Eureka Seven]]'': As if Anemone's [[Humongous Mecha|mecha]] didn't already cue you in with it's black paint job, [[Eyes Do Not Belong There|lots and lots of eyes]], and frantic, slasher movie-esque theme song that it's something you should stay far, far away from, there's the fact that it's named the END.
Line 458:
* Invoked in ''[[Artemis Fowl (Literature)|Artemis Fowl]]'' by LEP Officer Trouble Kelp, who chose his first name during his coming-of-age ceremony.
* ''[[Mistborn]]'' has the [[Omnicidal Maniac]] [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|Ruin]]. Also from [[Brandon Sanderson]], in ''[[The Stormlight Archive (Literature)|The Stormlight Archive]]'' we have Odium. Both are Shards of Adolnasium, cosmic concepts personified.
* The Enemy in the ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' quasi-spinoff [[Faction Paradox]], so-called because giving it a real name would only make you underestimate the sheer scope of its power. Also arguably something there's no point running from unless you have a handy universe stored away.
** Oh, and the [[Eldritch Location|Homeworld]]. [[Physical God|Compassion]] too, come to think of it, and [[Wooby Destroyer Of Worlds|Antipathy]], and... just about all the timeships, really. Then there's the [[Humanoid Abomination|Grandfather]]. Faction Paradox likes to do this a lot, is what we're saying.
* Dr Grief from ''[[Alex Rider|Point Blanc]].''
 
== [[Live-Action TV]] ==
* ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' has Omega, whose name is the last letter in the Greek alphabet, thus implying "the end". The trope is also parodied in the episode ''Closing Time'' when Stormageddon, Dark Lord of All is the name {{spoiler|a three month old baby wants people to call him by. His actual name is Alfie.}}
* ''[[Kamen Rider Ryuki]]'': Kamen Rider Ouja's [[Fusion Dance|fusion]] Advent Beast, Genocider. It's name comes from Genocide, as in wiping out an entire race or species. And it's every bit as dangerous as its name implies it to be, it has a BLACK HOLE IN ITS CHEST!
 
Line 497:
* In which case, there's the real-life Mick Jagger -- a bad-ass rocker if ever there was one. (The [[Rolling Stones]], in their early days, made a point of not being nice guys like [[The Beatles]].)
* Nick Cave, as well as a few of his bandmates: Conway Savage, Roland Wolf, Hugo Race, Tracy Pew. Their music is quite often very scary.
* Any of several warships bearing the name HMS ''Terror'', but especially [http[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Terror_HMS Terror (I03) |this one.]]
