* Soti from ''Manhua/CyberWeaponZ'' left Park Iro for [[BigBad Leiting]] and at first looks like an indecisive DarkMistress. However, she's not above infiltrating the Shaolin temple to spy on the man she once loved and gain information for her new boyfriend but usually doesn't act directly against him out of respect for what they once had. Iro is often troubled by her presence since her sweet face and apparent harmlessness still get to his heart, despite the fact that she's a quite capable DarkActionGirl.

* The Femme Fatale is an archetype that was commonly used by the Symbolist Movement. In ''Art/TheSin'', Eve is portrayed almost {{Lilith}}-like in how the shadows frame her as this voluptuous lure of physical delights, [[AdaptationalVillainy a far-cry from the passive waif Abrahamic art usually portrays her as]].

The Femme Fatale is [[EvilIsSexy sexy]] [[WaxingLyrical and she]] [[Music/{{LMFAO}} knows it]]. Made famous by FilmNoir and hard-boiled detective stories, she manipulates and confuses TheHero with her undeniable aura of sexiness and danger. Unlike the virginal and sweet DamselInDistress (or possibly ActionGirl), the Femme Fatale exploits with everything she's got to wrap men around her finger. (In some eras, [[MakeupIsEvil use of make-up is a tell-tale sign.]]) He ''knows'' that she's walking trouble and knows much more about the bad guys than she should, but damn it if he can't resist her feminine wiles.

* ''VideoGame/DiscoElysium:'' Klaasje is a subversion. On the one hand: sexy, mysterious, dangerous to know, involved with industrial espionage. On the other hand: she feels guilty about the damage that her spying caused, and is hiding out in Revachol because she thinks that her former employers want to kill her. Her best ending has her go on the run to another city.

* ComicBook/SpiderMan’s Characters/{{Black Cat|MarvelComics}} being the Franchise/MarvelUniverse’s [[AlternateCompanyEquivalent answer]] to Catwoman is a pretty classic Femme Fatale, but while very obviously seductive and manipulative her love for Spidey is actually quite genuine and marked her turn from villainess to AntiHero. Although, her infatuation for the Wall Crawler managed to bring out the worst in her as well as poor MJ learned first hand.

* Characters/{{Mystique}} of ''ComicBook/XMen'' fame might as well be the ultimate comic example, a beautiful and curvaceous blue [[VoluntaryShapeShifting shape changing]] mutant woman who has tricked, seduced and manipulated hundreds of people before cruelly [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder betraying them all like clockwork]]. It’s not just gullible men or women who enamoured with her either, Mystique will even manipulate her own children into trusting her before inevitably stabbing them in the back. Granted, it is largely DependingOnTheWriter when it comes to how treacherous and cruel she is.
