# Sinister Super Villains Photoshopping Celebrities' Dark Sides By Cowbag | Published 2008-09-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/celebrities-as-super-villans-when-being-a-celebrity-is-not-enough References: [worth1000](http://www.worth1000.com/contest.asp?contest_id=20881&display=photoshop&page=2#entries) This Worth 1000 [Photoshop contest](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-or-real) challenged participants to make celebrities into [super villains](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-heroes-vs-villains), and there were some particularly brilliant results. Being from the UK, Prince Charles as a joker is just too funny. Angela Jolie as a robot is really strong as well--she really does look like a hardcore super villain. Some of the images are so changed, however, that it is hard to tell who it is at first. I guess this is all part of the fun. Can you identify all ten celebrities? ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Customization](https://www.trendhunter.com/customization) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Photoshopped Celebrity Villains:** Opportunity for creative digital artists to provide unique and twisted interpretations of celebrities as super villains. - **Impact of Visual Transformation:** Potential for new forms of visual storytelling and creative expression through manipulation of celebrities' images. - **Celebrity Identity Exploration:** Interest in challenging societal expectations and perceptions of celebrities by reimagining them as sinister characters. ### Who This Affects Most - **Digital Art and Design:** Chance for artists to showcase their skills in photo manipulation and create a new market for personalized, celebrity-inspired artwork. - **Visual Media and Entertainment:** Potential for interactive experiences, such as video games or augmented reality, that allow users to engage with fictionalized versions of celebrities. - **Social Media and Online Communities:** Opportunity for user-generated content and online discussions surrounding the reimagining of celebrities as super villains. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Villainous Comic Character Makeup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/revolution-beauty-x-dc-supervillains-collection.md) - [Distorted Burger Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ailloween.md) - [Product-Inspired Halloween Looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldi-and-elladoesfx.md) - [Villain-Inspired Graphic Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-mxxxxxx.md) - [Celebrity Face Matches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cast-swapper.md) - [Witty Toy-Brand Horror Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horror-poster.md) - [Film-Inspired Condiment Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heinz-smiles.md) - [AI-Generated Selfies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreambooth.md) - [Green Album Image Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brat-generator.md)
