* MagnificentBastard: [[VillainProtagonist Frank Kitchen]] is a notorious [[ProfessionalKiller hitman]] who has murdered numerous people for money. Forcibly made physically female by [[BigBad Dr. Rachel Jane]] as retribution for killing her brother, Frank seeks vengeance on Jane, killing everyone involved in his surgery before reaching Jane. When Jane captures her, Frank seduces Jane's assistant before killing him and all of Jane's other men, before Frank shoots Jane non-fatally. Frank would then stage the scenario to make it look like Jane's assistant committed the murders and [[FrameUp frame Jane]] for killing her assistant sending Jane to a psychiatric ward, while also cutting all of Jane's [[{{fingore}} fingers]] off so that Jane will never be able to perform her heinous surgeries on anyone else ever again.
