The Evil Red-Head

In very many books, movies, T.V. shows, video games, and more an evil redhead is present. Darn Gingers. The evil ginger sterrotype has actually been around for a long time. Way back when, red hair was suposedly the sign of a witch, which is kinda funny thinkinh about all the ginger witchs/wizards we have (Ron Weasly, Will from W.I.T.C.H., Gillian Owens from the movie Practical Magic, Willow from Buffy, etc). Satan was also said to have favored red hair. In eastern Europe, babies born with red hair were often killed because of their hair color.
Here is a list of some I have compiled to express my point.

  • Mertle, Lilo and Stitch
  • Ganondorf, Legend of Zelda
  • Poisen Ivy, Batman Comics
  • Yosemite Sam, Looney Tunes
  • Anastasia (evil stepsisiter), Cinderella
  • Syndrome, The Incredibles
  • The Red Queen, the NEW Alice in Wonderland
  • Victoria, Twilight
  • (maybe) Pandora, Greek mythology
  • Bowser, Super Mariop Bros
  • Vicky, The Fairly Odd Parents
  • Candace, from Phineas And Ferb
  • Durza, Eragon
Of course not all redheads are evil. I have a couple awesome ginger friends, and they are definatly not evil (well, meybe a little...). In fact, there are some pretty heroic redheads like Sally in the Nightmare Before Christmas, Thor, The Mad Hatter in the NEW Alice in Wonderland, Ariel, Hercules (Disney version), Pippi Longstockoing, John wayne, and even the great Chuck Norris.
Does anyone have anymore? Feel free to leave a comment with some more evil red heads.
