Beauty is Bad



"Hhhmmmm. Not bad... Care to dance?!"

- Mileena

Beauty is Bad is one of the popular tropes regarding villain where his/her attractive appearance contrasts his/her evil nature.

Who and what kind of villains whom characteristics fit with this trope?
Everyone knows that traditionally, heroes are portrayed to be attractive, clean and well-mannered while villains looked ugly, unhygienic, and boorish. However, this is not always the way to define a character's morality, as some villains are revealed to be as attractive, if not more handsome/beautiful than the hero/heroine who opposed him/her.

Depending on the plot, these villains may either be beautiful from start or used to be ugly until they found a way to improve their appearance and embraced it.

More than often, they are portrayed as a vain, crass, vulgar, shallow, self-absorbed, unintelligent jerk. Some heroes may share these personality traits, but usually in lesser extent.

Some cases shown them appearing alongside equally good looking hero/heroines, and more than often, villains whose traits fits with what explained in this trope had his/her true nature revealed later as story progresses.
