Line 62:
** As Willow powers up for her homicidal [[Freak-Out]], the [[Phlebotinum]] involved turns her [[Good Hair, Evil Hair|hair]] and [[Good Eyes, Evil Eyes|eyes]] black in front of an astonished Anya.
** Also inverted in the finale, where Willow's good use of magic turns her hair white and makes her glow. That only lasts for a few seconds, though, and she goes right back to being a redhead afterwards.
* ''[[Doctor Who]]'' has "The Keeper of Traken": kind, generous, good Counsel Tremas, with his white beard, hair, and robes, sees an odd-looking grandfather clock in the middle of the room. He goes over to touch it. [[Oh Crap]]. Bad plan. It's [[The Master (trope)|The Master]]'s TARDIS, and out comes the Master, cackling "[[Grand Theft Me|A new body, at last]]!" Tremas de-ages, his hair and beard shortening and turning black, and gets a spiffy new black outfit. Why hello there, new Master.
* In ''[[Kamen Rider Dragon Knight]]'', it was first played straight in dreams: first, Kit is attacked by a black-clad version of himself, and in another one, Kit dreams of taking Xaviax's [[Deal with the Devil]] and going through a ''second'' [[Transformation Sequence]], transforming into the black suit, before hunting down and taking out his teammates. He was, needless to say, not too enthusiastic when first presented with a real-life version of the black armor.
* In ''[[Kamen Rider Kuuga]]'', Yuusuke Godai's black [[Super Mode]] originally comes from a serious mad-on and threatens to make him a [[Destructive Savior]]. However, when powered by his sense of justice, "Ultimate Kuuga" is... still black, but the eyepieces go from black to their usual red. In ''[[Kamen Rider Decade]],'' the black-and-gold but ''much'' more evil-looking Rising Ultimate Kuuga form, with [[Spikes of Villainy]], is bestowed upon Yuusuke ''Onodera'' by the [[Legion of Doom]] when they brainwash him. You get the black eyes until he gets de-brainwashed, and again, they become their normal red.
Line 68:
== Toys ==
* For [[Transformers]], it's very common for Hasbro and Takara to re-release an existing toy model with a black repaint. This business model is common enough that it has its own page at the [http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Spontaneous_recoloration Transformers wiki] which explains these change as "Spontaneous Recoloration". ''[[Shortpacked]]'' frequently [[Take That|takes shots]] at this. Often, though, the change isn't good/evil, but a powerup that leaves the character's personality alone.
* The gold parts of Takanuva's armour turn black when his light is partially drained in ''[[Bionicle]]''.
