The horns, eyes, and expression all say "bad guy". This image◊ would be JAFAAC for this trope.

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.... fair enough, then.
"The Daily Show has to be right 100% of the time; FOX News only has to be right once." - Jon StewartMost recent Maul pic looks great
The trope itself seems like it could use some repair as towards whether being a villain or evil is a requirement along with being visually represented by black and red colors, as there are some non-villainous examples like Deadpool on the page.
However, Darth Maul's face in the picture shows a malicious killing intention in his eyes, not to mention the glower on his face. It's pretty easy to see that he's not good.
A couple more votes for the most recent Maul and we can run with it.
Voting for the most recent Maul.
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.I'll add another vote for the most recent Maul.
Bigotry will NEVER be welcome on TV Tropes.Alright, that's good enough. The new pic is up, potholed and tagged. Caption or no? "Only a Sith deals in massive abdominal trauma" came to mind, but that might be a little too silly.

"Black and red clothing? That's not evil. Black and red SKIN is evil."
"Black and red is what he plans to make you all over, too."
That's my favourite caption suggestion so far, but the syntax is strange; forgive me if the word order is something key that I'm missing. Maybe "He plans to make you black and red all over, too.".
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.Alternatively, "Black and red all over is what he plans to make you, too."
Moon◊Eh, I don't care for the "black and red"...it doesn't play off the "black and blue" theme as well as it seems like it should, at least to me.
"The horns and teeth should help, in case this example is too subtle."
LOVE IT!
I like that but he doesn't have fangs (or otherwise sharpened teeth), does he? Maybe "eyes" instead.
Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.Yeah, no fangs.. but yellow and red eyes...
Hey I got one. It's a take on the old rhyme about Coral snakes.
"Red touches Yellow, You're a dead fellow. Red touches black... you're a dead fellow."

lol! But little more concise: "Black into red, you're dead; red into black, you're dead."

edit: Oh wait! That is red/black/yellow, mine is only red/black... not sure which is better.

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan."A color scheme to run away from really fast" ?
An Ear Worm is like a Rickroll: It is never going to give you up.""The horns, bared teeth and red and gold-rimmed eyes should help, in case this example is too subtle."
A little more concise: "The horns, teeth, and red/gold eyes should help, in case this is too subtle."
"...snarl, red-gold eyes..." imo
Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.I'm so tempted to make a caption about how he has so little characterization, we need the colors to know that he's evil.
How about "The Sith team colors" (since they otherwise wear black and use red sabers)?

I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.
Yay.
I'm not crazy, I just don't give a darn!
