{{quote|There was a little girl
Who had a little curl
Right in the middle of her forehead.
And when she was good
She was very, very good
But when she was bad
She was horrid!|Nursery rhyme}}

''[http://whenshewasbad.smackjeeves.com/comics/126925/1-1/ When She Was Bad]'' is a webcomic about [[Psycho Lesbian]] [[Villain Protagonist]] Gail Swanson, who gained superpowers when a mysterious cloaked man zaps her, in a [[Magical Girl]] [[Super-Hero Origin|story]] gone wrong. It's about her fights, her triumphs, her losses, her lackeys... And maybe her love life. If she can ever get the guts to ask the girl of her dreams out.

It's also about her [[The Chosen One|heroic]] counterpart, [[Alpha Bitch]] Amber Price, who eventually [[Resigned to the Call|resigns]] into her role, and tries to use her powers for good, especially against Gail Swanson.
