From Fad Super
- The New 52 introduced a female villain named the Masochist, whose initial design bore more than a passing resemblance
◊ to Lisbeth Salander, the title character of the then-recently popular film The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Due to some Internet Backdraft, she was renamed Anguish, her design was altered and all of the tattoos, piercings, and fetish elements were removed from the final costume.

There was a female Superman (or maybe Justice League) villain, who I believe was once listed on either the Totally Radical or Were Still Relevant Dammit pages. I'm having a hard time digging her up; I think she was a creation of the 2000's since she was suspected of being modeled after Lisbeth Salander in appearance/personality.
