Seductive Spy: Difference between revisions

 

== [[Anime]] ==

 

== [[Comic Books]] ==

* The Grey Spy in Antonio Prohias' ''Spy Vs. Spy'' strips is a glamorous young woman who always plays on the Black and White Spies' sense of chivalry in order to defeat them both. Prohias eventually phased her out of the strips because he couldn't bring himself to have the Spies hurt a woman, but the comics were too predictable if she never lost.

* [[X-Men]] villain Mystique isn't above playing this role from time to time. Being a [[Shape Shifter]] helps.

* In ''[[Spy Boy]]'', Bombshell uses "Marta Hari" as her school-going alias.

== [[Film]] ==

* Marta Bond, the illegitimate daughter of Mata Hari and [[James Bond]] in the spoofy ''[[Casino Royale 1967]]'' is this trope played for maximum silliness. The fact that the real Mata Hari was shot in 1917 is conveniently not mentioned.

* Bridget von Hammersmark from ''[[Inglourious Basterds]]'' may qualify. She relies more on her fame from being a movie star than her sexual charm, though. In fact, Tarantino may have been hinting that he did intend for her to be ''seen'' as this kind of character; in the same scene, a group of German soldiers (whom she had been sitting with earlier) are playing a kind of celebrity guessing game, and Mata Hari herself is one of the answers.

* In ''[[Mars Attacks (Film)]]'', the Martians send out a Martian in an [[Uncanny Valley]] woman suit to infiltrate the White House and try to assassinate the President. It almost works because of the [[Idiot Plot]].

* Jude in ''[[The Crying Game]]''.

* Marcuses sister in ''[[Bad Boys]] 2''

* Monica Fuentes in ''[[Two Fast Two Furious]]''

* Rachel Stein alias Ellis de Vries in ''[[Black Books]]''

* The "deaf" girl from the [[Matt Damon]] film ''The Good Shepherd''.

* Alicia Huberman in Notorious is asked by the US government to seduce (and eventually marry) a Nazi agent in order to have someone with inside access to his house who can look out for the illegal activities the US government suspects are going on in there. When told the nature of her assignment, Alicia even mentions Mata Hari, saying, "Mata Hari, she makes love for the papers."

** Sydney's mother, Irina Derevko, is a literal example - a KGB agent assigned to marry a CIA agent (namely, Jack) and steal his secrets.

** {{spoiler|Lauren Reed}} pulls the same exact act, but on Vaughn.

* The North Korean spy Joyce Kim in ''[[The Big Bang Theory]]'' tried to obtain military secrets from Leonard, who was working under a DARPA contract at the time. She couldn't put up with Sheldon though, and abandoned her attempt.

* Devonne from ''[[The Wire]]''.

* Undercover policewoman Kate Morton in ''[[Eastenders]]'' became the girlfriend of Phil Mitchell to get him to confess if he murdered his ex

* ''[[The Bill]]'' WPC Kerry Young seduced a gangster for inside information to help free women who were victims of sex trafficking

* Katherine Pierce from ''[[The Vampire Diaries]]'' employs this tactic many times, always with brilliant results but then she is a [[Magnificent Bastard]].

* Sarah Walker on ''[[Chuck]]''.

* Irene Adler from ''[[Sherlock]]'', the BBC series, where she's a dominatrix instead of a opera singer.

 

== [[Video Games]] ==

* Margarete from ''[[Shadow Hearts]]''... then again, she ''is'' Mata Hari.

* EVA from ''[[Metal Gear Solid]] 3''. Snake ever refers to her as "a regular Mata Hari."

* The design of ''[[A Dance With Rogues]]'' lends itself to this sort of player character. An [[Ax Crazy]] runthrough is much more difficult.

* Rouge the Bat fits as a Mata Hari in ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]''.
