Wolf in Sheep's Clothing is the super trope due to being a pre-existing term, but in practice Bitch in Sheep's Clothing is more common. Wolf in Sheep's Clothing is about more malicious and evil intent, a predator who disguises themselves looking for a prey. Bitch in Sheep's Clothing is closer related to Obfuscating Stupidity, someone who appears harmless but reveals a nasty side. A wolf carries an image of a powerful figure pretending to be weak, while a "bitch" is just opportunistic.
Comics are just words and pictures. You can do anything with words and pictures.I think I get it now. Thanks for clearing that up. Though the problem people often apply the Bitch in Sheep's Clothing trope to actual villains as well as just Jerkasses, while basically pretending that A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing doesn't exist.

When a hero uses underhanded tactics in battle, they're "smart". But when a villain does it, they're a "coward". Is this the society we live in?

I just discovered that A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing is a trope that exists, but is almost never used at all. Bitch in Sheep's Clothing is always used instead. And frankly, I can't tell the difference between them other than "Bitch in Sheep's Clothing is meaner", which kind of feels like The Same, but More. Should one of them be cut in favor of the other?
