History Main / WickedHeartSymbol

** Fitting for a [[HornyDevils lust-inciting succubus]], Verosika Mayday has a number of heart imagery both on her person and the accessories she dons. To name just a few among the many seen on her, she has a heart-shaped BeautyMark, the tip of her tail is shaped more like a heart rather than a stereotypical spearhead, and she has a pair of glasses with hearts on the lenses.

* In ''Series/KamenRiderBlade'''s playing card motifs, Kamen Rider Chalice is the Rider that represents the suit of Hearts. He's not a ''bad'' guy, per se, but he's an [[spoiler:AntiAntichrist]] and gigantic threat to everyone regardless.

* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverseTheMovie'': [[BigBad Spinel's]] gem was originally designed as a right side-up heart symbol, signifying the fact that she was made to be [[spoiler:a sweet, loving, and goofy playmate to Pink Diamond]]. After [[Pink Diamond left for Earth and abandoned Spinel in their garden for 6,000 years]], Spinel ended up going through so much emotional pressure that it caused her physical form to come undone, and when she reformed, she rotated her gem upside-down as part of her MadnessMakeover before she went to destroy Earth and everyone on it as revenge.

*** As [[spoiler:NOVA]] returns, so does [[spoiler:its heart, which you fight at the end of the True Arena.]] This time, [[spoiler:the heart]] moves around and attacks you instead of just staying in the middle. And oddly, it shares a few attacks with [[spoiler:Marx, another example of this trope...]]

* In Lucha Libre, most post-1990 examples are in reference to Love Machine, an EvilForeigner who wore a heart symbols on his mask before he was [[DramaticUnmask revealed]] to be Art Barr or to the AffablyEvil [[GarbageWrestler extremo]] ATM, whose mask also has heart symbol shaped eye holes.

* ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'': Blitzo and Millie have one each, with Blitzo having a heart-shaped demon's skull on his forehead and Millie has a solid black heart on her right shoulder. Both of them are unrepentant demons from Hell. Likewise, Stolas and his daugher Octavia, due to their designs being based on Barn-Owls, also have white, heart-shaped facial discs. Stolas' complements his amorous personality, while Octavia's is downplayed due to her hat and hair obscuring the top of the heart shape most of the time.

* Dio Brando of ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' has the HeartSymbol on his headband and knee pad, but he's the BigBad of three parts of the story. A few of his henchmen, Pet Shop, D'Arby Younger, and Vanilla Ice, also have heart symbols somewhere in their outfits.

* In ''VideoGame/SuperPaperMario'', the Chaos Heart is an incredibly deadly artifact looking like a heart made out of mercury which can ''destroy every single universe in existence''.

* ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'': Blitzo and Millie have one each, with Blitzo having a heart-shaped demon's skull on his forehead and Millie has a solid black heart on her right shoulder. Both of them are unrepentant demons from Hell.

* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'': In a spinoff book based on the original series, Princess Morbucks becomes a FallenCupid and shoots people with black heart-tipped arrows, [[ThePowerOfHate making the afflicted hate each other.]]

** ''VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot'':
*** Unlike the final bosses of many other Kirby games, who are scary {{Eldritch Abomination}}s, Star Dream is a massive supercomputer with a big heart icon painted on it. It also aims to [[spoiler:destroy all organic life as it deems them inefficient and against order.]]
*** As [[spoiler:NOVA]] returns, so does [[spoiler:its heart (See the entry for Super Star below), which you fight at the end of the True Arena.]] This time, [[spoiler:the heart]] moves around and attacks you instead of just staying in the middle.

Sometimes, the baddies who have this might have LoveFreak and HeartBeatDown as their schtick, but in a more twisted way. Another possibility is that it embodies LoveMakesYouEvil. There's also the version of where the heart symbol is rotated upside-down, meaning that the heart symbol represents the exact opposite of its usual right side-up meaning. A more justified version is when the heart is cracked/slashed down the middle, which usually symbolizes a broken heart and tragedy.
