4 | ** Darkwing [[FaceHeelTurn after turning coat]] [[CorruptChurch to a religious faction of villains]], he replaces [[DarkIsNotEvil his normal all black superhero outfit]] for a more [[WhiteAndGoldAreDivine white and gold]] [[LightIsNotGood priest-like outfit]]. |
5 | * '''Exaggerated''': Whenever Maybelle [[PokeThePoodle forgets to clean her room, refuses to share cookies with her little brother, shoves someone and doesn't apologize]] - ominous music is heard, and Maybelle's white dress suddently turns into a red and black {{Stripperific}} outfit, and her [[HairOfGoldHeartOfGold golden hair]] become dark purple with neon green highlights... |
6 | * '''Downplayed''': |
7 | ** Maybelle joins TheEmpire after leaving LaResistance. She keeps most of her old outfit, but a couple pieces are switched out to create a more ominous effect. |
8 | ** Maybelle pulls a HazyFeelTurn in a GreyAndGrayMorality setting, and switches to darker clothing. |
9 | ** Maybelle's new, darker clothing signals her [[AntiHero increased willingness to get her hands dirty]]. |
10 | * '''Justified''': |

16 | ** Maybelle is a ReverseMole and still on the good guys' side, using the outfit change to fool TheEmpire. |
17 | * '''Double Subverted''': |

19 | ** She ends up defecting for real after Emperor Evulz convinces her. |
20 | * '''Parodied''': |
21 | ** Upon switching sides, Maybelle is immediately ushered off to meet Emperor Evulz' personal tailor, who bombards her with criticisms and suggestions. |
22 | ** [[TheLancer Axel]] gets his clothes ripped in a fight, leading to fashionable asymmetry, and covered in ash, making them black. This leads to him becoming inexplicably evil. Hiro is determined to get him naked to turn him good again. |
23 | ** Maybelle gets her clothes ripped up into a {{Stripperific}} black outfit. She then tries to steal some new clothes to wear, but everyone thinks she's turned evil. |
24 | ** Every time Maybelle thinks about doing something particularly good or evil, she tears off her clothes to reveal either a good or evil set of clothes under it. This continues until either people start tripping over her discarded clothing or [[{{Fanservice}} she accidentally runs out of layers.]] |
25 | * '''Zig Zagged''': Sometimes, HeelFaceTurn[=s=] cause a costume switch, sometimes, they don't. |
26 | * '''Averted''': Maybelle's style has always been and still is alignment-neutral. |

30 | * '''Exploited''': Maybelle is trying to become TheMole for TheEmpire, and changing out of the old uniform might help them buy into the ruse. |
31 | * '''Defied''': |
32 | ** "I like the clothes I have, and I'm not changing them now just because I'm evil." |
33 | ** Maybelle keeps the old outfit in order to make her former allies hesitant to attack her. |
34 | * '''Discussed''': "Has she started wearing a cleavage-exposing, black leather outfit yet? No? Then she's probably still on our side." |
35 | * '''Conversed''': "What is it about evil that makes all these characters want to suddenly start wearing leather?" |
36 | * '''Deconstructed''': People eventually figure this out, leading to a bizarrely literal "fashion police" and the gradual erosion of freedom of expression. |
37 | * '''Reconstructed''': In fact, things go so far that the uniform of the Fashion Police becomes the only Evil Costume to which Faces Turned Heels will switch. |
38 | * '''Played For Laughs:''' |
39 | ** Maybelle, already shown to be quite shallow and obsessed with her appearance, switches sides because she's fallen in love with Emperor Evulz' fashion sense. |
40 | ** Maybelle becomes a FashionVictimVillain, much to her former friend's amusement. |
41 | * '''Played For Drama:''' The evil costume in itself goes against the principles that they once held. Maybelle who once [[ActualPacifist refused to fight]] now wears an outfit bearing the heads of her slain foes. |
