* ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'': The villain Flamingo wears all pink and is a vicious psychopath.
* ''ComicBook/GreenLantern'': The Star Sapphires wear pink/purple outfits. Originally, Carol Ferris's Star Sapphire persona was evil and was even responsible for [[HeroKiller the murder of Katma Tui]], John Stewart's wife. The Star Sapphire emotional entity is even a pink alien monstrosity with too many [[MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily teeth]] and [[BizarreAlienLimbs limbs]] called the Predator and has been known to drive Star Sapphires [[LoveMakesYouCrazy mad with love]].
* ''ComicBook/{{Runaways}}'': Molly Hayes' parents were a pair of sadistic supervillains whose eyes glowed pink whenever they used their powers. Incidentally, whenever Molly's eyes and hair acquire a pink glow, it's usually best to run far away...

* In ''ComicBook/TheTransformersIDW'' and its sequel series, ''ComicBook/TheTransformersRobotsInDisguise'', Arcee has pink coloration and is a cruel, violent berserker who brutally maims her victims and has an extreme vendetta against [[MadScientist Jhiaxus]], [[spoiler:who painfully changed her chassis into the feminine one (though while she ''wanted'' to become female, Jhiaxus' ways were extremely painful)]]. Also, it was noted that pink is the same color as energon, which flows in the Cybertronian veins akin to blood, so from Cybertronians' point of view, her coloration is equivalent to a human painting themselves blood-red.

* In ''Series/KamenRiderZeroOne'', Jin is a PsychopathicManchild whose Rider form happens to have pink armor. Notably, he matures into more of an AntiVillain midway through the show, and when he loses the Psycho traits he loses the Pink as well; switching to red armor.



* Series/PowerRangersInSpace [=/=] Series/DenjiSentaiMegaranger: Psycho Pink/Nezi Pink are {{The Psycho Ranger|s}} counterparts to their good counterpart, and they are determined to get rid of them no matter what. [[spoiler:In fact, Psycho Pink was indirectly responsible for [[HeroKiller killing a Pink Ranger]] in [[Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy the following season]] when she was trying to take out Cassie.]]



* ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' and ''Franchise/PowerRangers'':
** ''Series/PowerRangersInSpace''/''Series/DenjiSentaiMegaranger'': Psycho Pink/Nezi Pink are {{The Psycho Ranger|s}} counterparts to the good Pink Rangers, and they are determined to get rid of them no matter what. While this is the same as the Psycho Rangers of other colors, ''Power Rangers'' had Psycho Pink [[spoiler:actually succeed in [[HeroKiller killing a Pink Ranger]] (if indirectly) during her appearance in ''Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy''.]]
** ''Series/AvataroSentaiDonbrothers'' features the franchise's first male Pink Ranger, a RidiculouslyAverageGuy and devoted husband... but it becomes clear over the course of the show that he is not mentally well. He wraps up his entire self-worth in his marriage, and becomes violently ruthless any time that he thinks there's even a ''possibility'' that it could be threatened. He has more than once ''become the MonsterOfTheWeek'' in his wrath.
