Line 16:
* Road towards Allen in ''[[D.Gray-man]]''. She even kisses him at one point.
* In episode 4 of ''[[Meitantei Holmes]]'', Professor Moriarty kidnaps Mrs. Hudson to get to Holmes, but she's so kind that he soon develops a serious crush on her himself. When the plan eventually fails, he releases her and promises never to involve her in one of his schemes again.
* The whole deal in ''[[Inuyasha]]'' would have NOT started if the thief Onigumo didn't fall in love with Kikyou, then made a [[Deal with the Devil]] that transformed him into none other than Naraku...
** Also from the same series, Jakotsu towards Inu-Yasha himself, and Mukotsu towards Kagome.
* Happens more than once in [[Sailor Moon]], where villains of both genders were attracted either to Usagi (Seijuuro/Alan, Prince Diamond) or to Mamoru (Queen Beryl, Natsumi/Anne, manga!Dark Lady, anime!Fish Eye, anime!Nehelenia).
Line 28:
* ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'': Gauron towards Sousuke and Leonard towards Kaname.
* ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ]]'': [[Big Bad|Haman Khan]] seems to have one of these on [[The Hero|Judau Ashta]], while [[Dragon with an Agenda|Glemmy Toto]] has one on [[Action Girl|Roux]]. In each case the heroic individual ends up being responsible in some way for their admirer's death.
* Hilariously done in ''[[One Piece]]'' during the Marine Rookie Arc, where [[Punch Clock Villain|Zappa]] (a Marine recruit) tries to hit on Nami ''and'' Carrot. Unfortunately, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xv5yEPCXRnQ he comes onto Nami ''way'' too strong]. When he tries to court Carrot later, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wBNNH4ELQk she actually seems to reciprocate the gesture] briefly, but unfortunately he seems to think Luffy is her boyfriend (he isn't) and flies into a jealous rage.
* Alit (one of the [[Quirky Miniboss Squad|Seven Barian Emperors]]) towards Kotori in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal]]'', often to the point that he forgets about his overall mission in order to woo her.
== Comic Books ==
* Rather infamously in ''[[Spider-Man]] Sins Past'', [[Norman Osborn]] took a shine to Gwen Stacy. And by that
* In ''[[Marvel]]'' comics, the villain Whirlwind has a huge crush on [[The Wasp]]. He even [[Not My Driver|posed as her limo driver]] once.
* Umar, [[Doctor Strange]] villainess and sister to [[God of Evil|Dormammu]], has a huge crush on [[Incredible Hulk|The Hulk]]. She actually kept him as her love-slave for a while, but whether that counts as [[Dating Catwoman]] or [[Black Comedy Rape]] is debated. [https://web.archive.org/web/20160317105829/http://www.comicbookresources.com/prev_img.php?pid=9307&pg=3 They've been reunited since.]
* In his short lived series in the 70s, [[The Joker]] fell in love with one [[Black Canary|Dinah Lance]]
* Why is Sonya in shackles at Kahn's Arena Stage in ''[[Mortal Kombat 2]]''? As the comic book adaptation shows, he was planning to brainwash her into marrying him.
* Whether [[Sub-Mariner|Namor]] is a villain or not depends on his mood at the time, but he has had a crush on Sue Storm since the first time he and ''[[The Fantastic Four]]'' met.
* [[Dr. Doom]] towards [[Storm]]; any time Doom and the X-Men cross path this will likely be an issue.
* [[X-Men]] villain the Toad towards heroine Scarlet Witch. Sometimes his crush on her borders on [[Stalker with a Crush]] or even [[Yandere]].
* [[Magneto]] towards Rogue, sometimes to the [[Dating Catwoman]] degree. In the ''[[Age of Apocalypse]]'' timeline it went further, where they married and had a son.
* In ''[[Gotham Central]]'', Two-Face towards [[Fair Cop|Renee Montoya]], and no matter what the result of his coin toss is, he will brutally murder anyone who tries to harm her. Unfortunately, when his evil side is dominant, he veers into [[Yandere]] territory in his efforts to woo her.
== Fan Works ==
* While very rarely brought up in the actual [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]], Waluigi is often viewed as being a [[Hopeless Suitor]] towards Daisy, possibly due to her and Luigi being closer to an [[Official Couple]] than Mario and Peach. Or occasionally he's an [[Unknown Rival]], or both.
* Also, any fanfiction that includes Bowsette will likely give her this sort of crush towards Mario, often with the goal of [[Yandere|eliminating Peach in order to have him]]. Ironically, the original Bowsette was Bowser in disguise, pretending to date Mario as part of a plan hatched by both of them [[Operation: Jealousy|in order to make Peach jealous.]]
* A common trope ''[[Miraculous Ladybug]]'' fanfics is to have Lila have this towards Adrien like in canon. However, often times it will be turned [[Up to Eleven]] and [[Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil|she will go as far to sexually assault him.]]
** If she's turned into an [[Ron the Death Eater|antagonist/villain]] by the writer, [[Stalker with a Crush|Marinette's]] crush on Adrien can [[Love Makes You Crazy|evolve]] [[Love Makes You Evil|into this]] as the story goes on.
* In ''[https://www.quotev.com/story/15887174/Various-Miraculous-Ladybug-Series-x-Genderbend-Adrien-Agreste-Oc-Insert/2 Various! Miraculous Ladybug Series x Genderbend Adrien Agreste! Oc Insert]'' by Rainbowcart where Adrien/Chat Noir is a girl named [[Gender Flip|Amelie]], this is a running gag in the fic where villains constantly fall for Kitty Noir (Genderbent Chat Noir). They either had a [[Celebrity Crush|simple crush]] on her that was turned into this via akumatization or if Hawk Moth akumatized someone into thinking they're someone else, they think she's the old possession of their affections (for example: Jalil as The Pharaoh believes Kitty Noir is Nefertiti, which she uses to defeat him).
** A notable example is Copycat. In the version, Theo has a crush on Kitty Noir instead of Ladybug. He takes on her image because he thinks she'll be flattered (she's not). It comes to a head when Kitty comes to his work shop where the scene is made much more disturbing since Copycat leaves her defenseless. He manages to straddle her, making her cry. Thankfully, Scarlet Beetle (Genderbent Ladybug) [[Big Damn Hero|comes in just in time]].
** Zig-zagged for Marin/Scarlet Beetle. He's not a villain ({{Spoiler|not yet}}) but he's very obsessive towards Amelie and the story is already setting his [[Yandere]] tendencies.
== Film ==
* Gaston to Belle from ''[[Beauty and the Beast (1991 film)|Beauty and the Beast]]''.
* Frollo to Esmeralda in ''[[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney film)|The Hunchback of Notre Dame]]''.
* Beaumont for Madeleine in ''[[White Zombie (film)|White Zombie]]''.
* Ming the Merciless seemed pretty hung up on Dale Arden in ''[[Flash Gordon (film)|Flash Gordon]]''.
Line 51 ⟶ 68:
* Tod to Marge in ''[[Mom and Dad Save The World]]''
* ''[[Megamind]]'' on Roxanne since before the events of the film, as confirmed by the filmmakers' commentary.
== Literature ==
Line 70 ⟶ 86:
* Either played extremely, scarily straight or averted in [[Sherlock]] with James Moriarty and Sherlock Holmes. Moriarty originally presented himself as a camp gay when he was undercover to get to Sherlock, but once he dropped the "Jim from IT" face, the act remained. The two flirt incessantly in an impressive display of villainous UST.
* On ''[[Luther]]'' the titular detective has to deal with the uncomfortable fact that his closest friend and confidante, and most reliable source of help is [[Nietzsche Wannabe]] [[Manipulative Bastard]] and [[The Sociopath|thorough psychopath]] Alice Morgan. That alone would be bad enough, but as many of Alice's lines suggest, she may well have a thing for Luther.
* Dukat towards Kira in ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]'', even though she - justifiably - despises him.
* Q tries to seduce Janeway more than once in ''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]'', though his motives run deeper than a simple crush, {{spoiler|, believing a child born of a union between him and a human could help broker peace between two factions within the Q-continuum and end a civil war.}}
== Professional Wrestling ==
* In ''[[GLOW]]'', the closing [[Couch Gag]] involved Miss Kitty showing up at McLane's apartment in an attempt to set him up with Hollywood, one of the Heels, which he always rejected.
== Roleplay ==
Line 121 ⟶ 141:
* Martian Queen towards ''[[Duck Dodgers]]''. Seriously, the woman veers between wanting to destroy him and wanting to marry him.
* In the animated version of ''[[The Incredible Hulk (comic book)|The Incredible Hulk]]'', Gargoyle had a crush on She-Hulk and was constantly trying to woo her; sadly for him, she was never interested.
* The ''[[G.I. Joe| G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero]]'' episode "The Gamemaster" not only hints that Zartan has something like this towards Scarlett, but that she reciprocates it!
** Possibly the Gamemaster himself towards Lady Jaye, given how [[Suspiciously Specific Denial| vehemently he denies it]] when his [[Robot Buddy]] suggests he has a crush on her.
* In one episode of ''[[Teen Titans]]'', Red X flirted with Starfire after pinning her to the wall with one of his gadgets, calling her "cutie" and remarking that the "only crime" between them was that they hadn't gone on a date. Her only response was to blast him with her starbolts through her eyes.
* Pyro once tried making a pass at Rogue in the ''[[X-Men (animation)|X-Men]]'' cartoon. She replied by throwing him through the wall as a non-subtle "No".
* Possibly Giganta towards the Flash in ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]''. In the [[Series Finale]], after the heroes grant her and the Injustice League a five-minute head start before trying to apprehend them (clemency due to their help fighting Darkseid) she is willing to waste a few seconds to kiss him.
* Toyman towards [[Power Girl]] in ''[[Superman/Batman: Public Enemies]]''. He even has a Power Girl [[Stalker Shrine]].
* Lila Rossi towards Adrien Agreste in [[Miraculous Ladybug]]. She's very clingy towards him and tries to cut anyone to him out of his life.
