Line 54:
** Darth Maul, who made full-body, red-and-black, Sith tattoos popular. You'll find them on lots of Extended Universe characters.
* [[The Vamp|Poison Ivy]] in ''Batman & Robin'' adopts this color scheme instead of her regular red-and-green motif in a final effort to seduce Robin into sharing a [[Kiss of Death|kiss]] with her, [[Blatant Lies|for love]]. It works. {{spoiler|Though not as she expected.}}
{{quote|'''Robin:''' "Is your thumb the only part of you that's [[Lampshade Hanging|green]]?"
'''Poison Ivy:''' "You will just '''[[Giving Someone the Pointer Finger|have]]''' [[The Tease|to find out]]!" }}
* The villains of ''[[Tron]]'' and ''[[Tron: Legacy]]'' are all colored black with red [[Tron Lines]].
Line 106:
** While not evil, Terra is an [[Anti-Hero]] and thus two of his unique keyblades that symbolize his darker tendencies, the Darkgnaw and Chaos Ripper, are prominently black with red markings.
** For his cameos in the series, Sephiroth of ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'' gets red linings added to his trademark black coat.
* In ''[[RunescapeRuneScape]]'', red and black are the colors of Zamorak, the evil god of chaos.
* In [[The Last Story]], the [[The Usual Adversaries|Gurak]] have a black-and-red theme going on, as opposed to the Human's white-and-blue color scheme.
* ''[[Legacy of Kain]]'', [[Villain Protagonist]] Kain wears numerous outfits over the course of the series, but many of them are prominently black with some red bits. His iconic attire for the series is black leather pants with a red cape wound over his chest like a sash.
Line 121:
* Although he himself is colored green, many of [[Super Mario Bros.|Bowser's]] insignias are a red face on a black background.
* In [[Lego Adaptation Game]]s, red and black objects can only be manipulated by evil characters.
* [[Proud Warrior Race Guy|Split Dynasty]] ships in the ''[[X (video game)|X]]-Universe'' games have rust-red armor panels with gray/black unarmored sections. The Split aren't particularly ''evil'', but they have a [[Fantastic Racism|burning hatred]] for the peaceful Boron Kingdom. The Xenon fleet, a bunch of [[AIA.I. Is a Crapshoot|rogue terraforming robots]], have pitch black hulls and exposed internals glowing blood red.
* The Phantoms in ''[[Star Ocean: The Last Hope]]''.
* The Terran Dominion of ''[[StarcraftStarCraft]]'', which despite the name is [[The Empire]], is a stylized arm holding a whip. Sometimes the arm is red on a black background, other times it's black on a red background.
* The opening and ending credits of the first [[Gabriel Knight]] game are in red text over a black screen. I you use higher resolution settings, you get illustrations in the style of old wood carvings, also in black and red. This is used to make the credits more ominous, as it is a horror game.
* ''[[Bayonetta]]'': Both [[Dark Magical Girl|Bayonetta]] herself and [[The Rival|Jeanne]] have this color motif. Each is also [[Anti-Hero]]. Meanwhile, the [[Our Angels Are Different|Angels]] use [[Gold and White Are Divine]], but are definitely [[Light Is Not Good|not good]].
* ''[[Shin Megami Tensei]]'': Black and Red are associated with the Chaos faction while Law takes White And Blue. Subverted since [[Chaotic Evil|neither side is]] [[Lawful Evil|that much worse than the other]].
* ''[[Blaz BlueBlazBlue]]'': Ragna the Bloodedge wears his black vest and pants on his red jacket. He's a [[Good Is Not Nice|Type 3]] [[Anti-Hero]] who wields the power of life-sucking darkness... and is a [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]] at best. And he actually has no qualms of killing innocent people who get in his way.
** Also in the same game, there's Litchi Faye-Ling whose color scheme are majorly red with black tints around. This is instead a subversion as she is instead a sweet, motherly, kind and compassionate woman who is only concerned in helping those in need. Double subverted that eventually {{spoiler|she joined the enemy group, NOL}}, but then triple-subverted that {{spoiler|[[Forced Into Evil|she was forced and still retained her kind personality]] rather than [[Face Heel Turn|tossing them away and becoming a majorly evil person.]]}}
