'''''Black Scorpion''''' is a made-for-TV movie that first aired on Showtime in 1995. It was followed by a sequel, ''Black Scorpion: Aftershock'' (1997), and a live-action series on the Sci-Fi channel. The latter lasted a single season, running from January to June, 2001. It was very [[Camp|campy]], almost like a live-action [[Silver Age]] comic book, using deliberately exaggerated and unrealistic characters and events to comic effect. The television series in particular was heavily influenced by the [[The Sixties|1960s]] ''[[Batman (TV series)|Batman]]'' series. The character was revived for a short-lived 2009 comic book from Blue Water Productions.▼

She is assisted in this goal by a former car thief, Argyle Sims, who turns her car into the [[Cool Car|Scorpion Mobile]] and acts as her confident. Other important characters include Darcy's partner, Steve Rafferty, who is determined to capture Black Scorpion (and is more than a little smitten with the crimefighter), the corrupt Mayor Worth, her comically inept fellow officers Specs and Slugger, and their idiot boss Captain Strickland.
Not to be confused with the [[The Black Scorpion|1957 giant monster movie]] of the same name.
