The Vamp: Difference between revisions

* Kanoko's stepmother in ''[[Velvet Kiss]]'' is a [[The Chessmaster|chessmater]] who uses a combination of sex and blackmail to manipulate events, such as by having the wife of her lover killed due to neglectful hospital care, and then trying to do the same thing to the lover himself (now her husband). Deconstructed when {{spoiler|all it takes is two people standing up to her and the entire plot crashes down around her}}.

 

* Ava Lord from the ''[[Sin City]]'' story "A Dame to Kill For" was an evil ([[Card-Carrying Villain|by her own admission]]) and greedy seductress who manipulated her old lover, Dwight McCarthy, through a [[Wounded Gazelle Gambit]] into murdering her husband so she could get her hands on all his money, and then tried to kill him once he had [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness|outlived his usefulness to her]]. As Manute, her [[The Dragon|Dragon]] (who would later show up in "The Big Fat Kill"), explains, Dwight is not the first man she has destroyed with her deadly wiles. Lampshaded-slash-deconstructed in her admission, as she points out that "evil ruthless seductress" is so cliche nobody believes she can be one...until it's too late.

* Poison Ivy in the [[Batman]] comic books, especially before she became an eco-terrorist.
