* {{Expy}}: Of {{Satan}}/[[spoiler:Ryo Asuka]] from ''Manga/{{Devilman}}'' and [[spoiler:Lan Asuka]] from the ''Manga/DevilmanLady'' anime, as all of them are [[spoiler:blonde {{hermaphrodite}}s that serve as the BigBad of their respective series]], though moreso the latter given the [[TheSociopath sheer evilness]] of both their characters (whereas Satan is a TragicVillain).

A scientist behind a number of cruel and terrible experiments
