Red Right Hand/Playing With

Basic Trope: An obvious sign of character's evil-ness.
 * Straight: Drake's right hand is dark-red, covered in scales and Spikes of Villainy.
 * Exaggerated: Entire right half of Drake's body is red, spiky, and on fire.
 * Every villain in the story has a red right hand. Even the Harmless Villain.
 * Downplayed Drake's right hand is slightly tinted red.
 * Justified: Drake has embraced The Corruption, and his hand turning red is an outward result of it.
 * Inverted: Saint Charles has a Holy Halo over his head.
 * Alternately, the villain is completely devoid of physical defects of any kind.
 * Bob, a Friend to All Living Things, possesses a misleading evil-looking defect.
 * Subverted: The heroes are surrounded by enemy Mooks. Drake jumps in... and promptly beats the crap out of Mooks.
 * Double Subverted: But he is actually Man Behind the Man trying to convince heroes he's friendly.
 * Parodied: Right hands are Colour-Coded for Your Convenience. Red? The Dragon. Green? Evil Genius. Black? Evil Overlord.
 * Deconstructed: Dake's red right hand was present since birth. Being constantly mocked by everyone and their dog is what drove him to villainy in the first place.
 * Reconstructed: ...However, they were right about the hand being a sign that he had great evil in him
 * Zig Zagged: Drake has a red right hand, but he's not evil. Oh wait, yes he is! Or is he? Yes, it seems he isn't. But he's still not too heroic. And now he's lost his arm- hey, is that an Arm Cannon?!
 * Averted: Drake does not have any obvious signs of being evil.
 * Physical defects, good or evil-looking, are completely unrelated to one's alignment.
 * Enforced: "Oh, dammit, our characters are so overdressed you can't even tell a hero from villain!" "Then just make a villain's hand all red and spiky, or whatever."
 * Invoked: Drake's hand is, in fact, a glove made by him to look scary.
 * Defied: Drake camouflages his hand for disguise purposes.
 * Alternatively, Drake decides that he won't become a villain just because he has an "evil" hand.
 * Plotted A Good Waste: Drake's red right hand has nothing to do with being evil... but it does have to do with being extraterrestrial. Which is, of course, a pretty big Reveal.
