"Hero adopts an edgy look; evil counterpart steals it!"

Do we have something that covers an evil counterpart adopting a look the hero has for a while as their own iconic style?

Metroid Prime: Near the end you acquire the Phazon Suit, which is grey/black with red highlights It's naturally stolen by the final boss, who returns in the next two Prime games as Dark Samus.
Venom, Spider-Man's nemesis is, of course, the result of a symbiotic suit that Peter Parker wore being rejected and merging with Eddie Brock.
One episode of Teen Titans concerns a villain adopting a villainous persona Robin created as an undercover identity.

Barring anything else, a variation/played with of the relevant evil costume trope (this black and red suit doesn't square with the heroic Bob, so it winds up in the hands of the villain!).
