* HourOfPower: Satanik needs to take the serum at regular intervals to stay beautiful, something that gave her trouble in more than one occasion. In issue 21, "The Light That Kills", she's able to replace it with a portable device that emits a ray that has the same effect with a small exposure but will incinerate anyone who's exposed to it for too long.
Added DiffLines:
* TakeThat: Issue 21, "The Light That Kills", heavily mocks the Giussani sisters, creators of ''ComicBook/{{Diabolik}}'', who at the time of publication were prone to send cease-and-desist letters to anyone who published anything remotely similar to their series and had recently sent one to Max Bunker over his other series, ''Kriminal''. It ends with the sisters being used by Satanik as test subjects for the titular device, that makes anyone beautiful but will incinerate those exposed to it for too long.

That's no longer a trope due to TRS.
* AssholeVictims: A sizeable chunk of Satanik's victims were corrupt businessmen, sleazy perverts, and in general terrible excuses for human beings.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: This is the trope that keeps Satanik from losing all audience sympathy. A sizeable chunk of her victims were corrupt businessmen, sleazy perverts and, in general, terrible excuses for human beings, which admittedly softens the blow of Satanik's terrible deeds.

Marnie Bannister's life, to put it bluntly, sucks. Despite being a brilliant biologist and chemist, having earned herself a Ph.D. at just 25 years of age, she is despised and ridiculed by pretty much everyone around her because of her poor origins and of an angioma that viciously scars her face. The third daughter of an alcoholic and of a closed-minded housewife, she still lives in the family, along with her beautiful sisters Dolly and Lydia, who continuously disrespect her because of her unsightly appearence. Pushed to the edge by the abuse, Marnie invents a serum by expanding on the research of the mad alchemist Masopust. After drinking the serum and going through a painful transformation, Marnie is turned into a beautiful red-haired seductress. Inebriated by her newfound appearence, and filled with grudge against the world, she decides to make the most of it, calling herself Satanik and starting a life of crime and lust for power that will leave countless bodies behind...

''Satanik'' is a 1964 Italian comic belonging to the ''fumetto nero'' (black comic) genre, authored by Max Bunker and Magnus. One of the most successful endeavors of the genre, the comic is distinguished from others of its kind by the massive presence of supernatural and horror elements, which were absent in the grittier, more realistic examples like ''ComicBooks/{{Diabolik}}'' and the several other comics that came after it. Running for 10 years, it ended in 1974 amidst many controversies, which surrounded this production more so than any other black comic of the period, yet it has enjoyed several reprints, and is still considered a classic by the aficionados.
