We could try it, but I'm not sure "oh, and he also killed somebody" is precisely needed for a primarily visual trope.
By what standards is that not JAFAAC, though?

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

Most 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.

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.

[up] 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."

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.

I like that but he doesn't have fangs (or otherwise sharpened teeth), does he? Maybe "eyes" instead.

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.

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.
