History Main / BlackWidow

* In ''{{Fallout 3}}'', your female character can learn an ability by this name, which allows you to charm and manipulate members of the opposite sex with ease.

* It is not an actual example of the trope, she actually has a pretty effective CartwrightCurse instead (And provides the page quote), but Samantha Carter's boyfriends all seem to wind up six feet under in pretty short order (Unless you're {{MacGyver}}, of course). DVD audio commentary reveals that the writers actually ''called'' her "Black Widow Carter," and were going to title an episode as such until they went with ''Chimera''.

* Jill from ''{{Darken}}'' is introduced that way [[http://darkencomic.com/d/20040710.html here]]. Of course she's also an ActionGirl who kills things with ''fans''.

* It's not for money but Morinth, a character from MassEffect 2, is an [[OneGenderRace asari]] with a rare genetic defect. Her people mate by merging their nervous systems with each other, and can do so with anyone of any species. When Morinth mates, it [[OutWithABang burns out her mate's nervous system, killing them.]] Not only does this give her a sort of high, but she's extremely predatory and carefully chooses targets who are especially creative or special in some way. And she's been doing it successfully for 400 years.

* In ''American dad'' stan's mother is set up to be this but subverted because [[spoiler: stan has been stealing her dates to keep her 'safe'.]]

** she killed her parents and husband because they don't give into her whims and liked it.

* I need some help. It's a movie where the father is going to marry this woman, but the son discovers that his prospective stepmother is actually a monster who literally eats the men she marries- ?a Preying Mantis. He kills her with violin music. But I can't remember the name, and Google is failing me.
** ''Stepmonster''. There was also a screwed up bit of Gift of the Magi in there, as the monster is a comic book creature and only a specific, very rare and very valuable issue explained how the monster can be defeated. So the kid pawns the violin his dad gave him to buy the comic book; [[spoiler: unfortunately, his dad has something serious against comic books and rips it up, not realizing its significance (or value), and it's not until the kid finds the one missing piece - that's right, ''one panel out of the entire comic book divulged the monster's weakness'' - that the kid realizes how screwed he is. Of course, the dad redeems himself at the movie's climax in a BigDamnHeroes moment where it turns out he bought back the violin and proceeds to dispatch the monster.]]

* Annie Palmer, the (in)famous "WhiteWitchofRoseHall," who resided at the titular plantation outside of Montego Bay, St. James in Jamaica, and who is reported to have [[CompleteMonster murdered three husbands and countless lovers, as well as many of her slaves.]]
