* The Octopus in ''[[GoldenEye: Rogue Agent]]''
* Arguably, these exist in ''[[Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines]]'' for the [[Player Character]], though some may consider them to be anti-hero mart. These black-market dealers include- in order of severity: a pawnshop owner selling knives and 38. calibre pistols without a license; a bored clerk at a 7-11 offloading firearms to supplement
* The villain-side "skin" for the ''[[City of Heroes]]'' auction house feature -- the Black Market -- gives the appearance of an Evil Mart. Subverted in that both hero- and villain-side share the same pool of merchandise, and there's nothing particularly villainous about any of it.

Line 52 ⟶ 53:
* For a short time in the early 2000s, there existed a parody website of Home Depot called [https://web.archive.org/web/20030209060829/http://homedespot.com/ Home Despot], which pretended to be the online version of Evil Mart. It provided our page image.
* ''[[Uncyclopedia]]'' has [https://uncyclopedia.ca/wiki/9-Eleven 9-Eleven] and [https://uncyclopedia.ca/wiki/Jihad-Mart Jihad★Mart] for all your martyrdom and freedom-fighting needs!
* ''[[SCP Foundation]]'' has [https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-2519 SCP-2519], aka Babylons, or "The Little Grocery Shop of Horrors". This is mostly a standard supermarket that is frequented by demons, angels (of [[Eldritch Abomination| Biblical accuracy]]), undead beings, and other entities. The Foundation initially contained this store in a way that shut it down, but then the customers started going to Walmart. Since then, the place has been staffed by D-classes and undercover SCP agents who do their best to keep humans away.

Line 58 ⟶ 60:
* ''[[Harley Quinn]]'' (2019 version) goes a little overboard with this. In the third episode, Harley visits Underworld Talent Inc, a temp agency for villains and henchmen. [[Dude, Where's My Respect?| (Harley is not welcome.)]] She then attends a seminar hosted by Maxie Zeus on super-villain strategy. Of course, [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain|Maxie is not the most reliable pitchman here]]; Poison Ivy claims he's stoned, and Harley doesn't get much luck there either.
* In ''[[Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo]]'', the Gang figures the best way to deal with all the criminals who pull the [[Scooby-Doo Hoax]] routine is to find out where they're getting their costumes from, and quickly discover that the fashion designer and crime boss [https://scoobydoo.fandom.com/wiki/Coco_Diablo Coco Diablo] is indeed the one who designed the costumes for most of the crooks they've encountered in their entire careers. {{spoiler| She was savvy enough, it seems, to build a second 10,000 Volt Ghost costume in case of trouble, using it against the true [[Big Bad]] of the special.}}
* in the ''[[DC Super Hero Girls]]'' episode "Powerless", Toyman uses gold kryptonite on [[Supergirl]] which he bought online at a place called Very Deadly Space Rocks & More. When he realizes it failed to kill her, he makes a note to give them a one-star customer rating.
