The hero character gets some sort of apparel or accessory that seems to be great and useful, but it's really unstable, sentient, evil (or at least mischievous in the way Muggles would consider evil) or otherwise damaging to its user's heroic nature. In the case of a sentient, evil item, it often seeks to turn the hero to its own ends. Toward this goal, it begins manipulating the hero's mind. He becomes less sunny and more grim. He becomes less playful and more violent. Eventually the suit and or its wearer begin referring to themselves as "we". In the case of unstable or dangerous items, various effects from Applied Phlebotinum can cause the same problems to happen as if it were a truly evil thing affecting its wearer. At that point, the hero may very well realize there's a problem. Or the damage is done, and the hero's tipped over, and will have to be forcibly separated from his new item. In any case, whether the hero's willing or unwilling, don't expect removing it to be easy. It needn't always be an article of clothing. It could be a gem or jewelry. In fact, they are often the worst offenders; they are ensorceled to whisper seductively to a prospective wearer, the better to get into position to take over the victim. This trope has a fine lineage, sharing relations to Mask of Power, Artifact of Doom, Enemy Without, Evil Costume Switch, Evil Feels Good, Clothes Make the Superman, The Hat Makes the Man, Evil Makeover, and With Great Power Comes Great Insanity. The difference is that the person who ends up the maniac in question started out a good guy and had no idea that the article of clothing would drive them evil/insane. Super-Trope to Evil Mask. Compare Freaky Fashion, Mild Mind, Paint It Black (where the clothes the person was wearing transform because the person turns evil, rather than the person changing because the clothes were evil). |

Adventure Time: The Ice King's Crown. Centuries prior, Simon Petrikov, an collector of ancient artifacts, purchased the crown for his collection, and put it on momentarily as a joke when showing it to his fiancée. However, the crown's power never left him; although it granted him immortality and amazing power over ice and snow, it slowly drove him insane, transforming him into the Ice King. In "Little Dude", Finn's hat gets brought to life to by a spell that infuses it with an evil spirit. It then starts forcing itself onto people's heads and turning them evil. |

The Simpsons: In "Team Homer", the elementary school institutes a uniform policy, and the drab clothes causes the kids to regress in personality so much that that they blink in unison. Then it turns out that the uniforms aren't colorfast, and during a rainstorm during recess, the clothes become tie-dye, setting off a riot. Used in one segment of "Treehouse of Horror IX". Homer receives a toupee made from the hair of executed criminal Snake, and it forces him to seek revenge on those who helped put in him jail, including Bart. |

In an episode of TMNT: Back to the Sewers, an antiques store owner hastily gives Casey Jones the evil Ring of Yin to keep it out of the hands of the Purple Dragons. Not knowing what it is, Casey gives it to April as an engagement ring. It rather quickly possesses her and turns her into a powerful, monster-summoning demon. Casey, being the one who put it on her, is magically bound to be the only one capable of removing it. No small task, as by the time he is told this April had grown to epic size and was flying over the city. | |

Doctor Who Magazine: In "The Blood of Azrael", Azrael's mask contains the memories and powers of the Omnicidal Maniac Azrael, waiting for a host of a suitable mindset to continue his work. Danny provides that host. It's unclear if he was already an Omnicidal Maniac at that point, although he was already a murderous and sadistic xenophobe. | |

Spider-Man Trilogy: In Spider-Man 2, Otto Octavius becomes Doctor Octopus as a direct result of the failsafe burning out that was supposed to protect him from the influence of his sentient waldoes. In Spider-Man 3, the black suit issue rears its ugly head again, compelling Peter to uninhibited aggression. It's not quite revealed just how much it affects Eddie Brock's mind when it later bonds with him as well, as the theme of mutual revenge is retained. |

The Archchancellor's Hat in the Discworld book Sourcery. Played with in that the wizards weren't really on the bad side, just one of two sides wreaking havoc equally, and that the person who got the hat was already a scheming Evil Chancellor and probably couldn't have gotten worse. But still, the hat has a mind of its own, and not a nice one. | |

Kamen Rider Build: The Hazard Trigger, an upgrade for the Build Driver that serves as the show's Sword of Plot Advancement, makes Build much more powerful when he uses it, but using it for more than a minute overloads his mind with stimulation that causes him to shut down, then reawaken as a silent, brutally efficient killing machine. Two full story arcs are devoted to Build's attempts to master it and dealing with the trauma that he suffers when he commits murder under the Trigger's influence. Eventually he finds a way to build a secondary upgrade that makes the Trigger's power safe to use. | |

Kamen Rider Saber: The Sword of Darkness, one of ten holy swords, has a habit in recent years of causing anyone who picks it up to turn into a villain. It takes the third wielder to admit that this is because it grants the power of foresight, and seeing that every possible future ends in the world evaporating into dust in the next few months does a number on the user's sanity. | |

A police officer on Superman: The Animated Series is a milder example. He was given a combat suit to use that ended up addicting him. He shaved his head, the better to interface with it, began referring to himself as "we" and got violent when separated from the suit or thwarted from using it. It also made him territorial to the point of being willing to beat up on Superman. | |

Iron Man occasionally lent his armor to James Rhodes or Kevin O'Brien, only to have them turn violent and unstable when it is worn too long because the armor's neural-interface controls were only calibrated for Tony Stark's brainwaves. Obviously, Stark has properly adjusted Rhodes' War Machine armor for him to wear safely. | |

Some artifacts in Dungeons & Dragons have a tendency to do this. But then again, what were you expecting from an artifact that requires you to gouge out your own eye (or chop off your own hand) in order to use it? This can be true of any intelligent magic item (and pretty much any item can be intelligent). Each such item has a Character Alignment of its own as well as an "Ego Score" measuring how strong its personality is. An evil item with a high Ego Score is this trope waiting to happen; if wielded by someone it disagrees with it can refuse to work, or attempt to control the user. Of course, it can also be reversed; a good-aligned item might attempt to control an evil user as well. |

Most of the rings in The Lord of the Rings, The One Ring being the most focused on, but most pronounced in the Nine; they turned their owners, once proud kings, into evil ghostly death knights. The Seven Rings were meant to do the same to the Dwarves. Unfortunately for Sauron, while the Rings did magnify their greed and some other negative emotions, they did not prolong the lives of the Dwarves, nor did they turn the Dwarves into wraiths as the Nine Rings did to the humans. So Sauron sought to take the Seven Rings back; he managed to get three, while the other four were destroyed by dragons. Averted with the Three Rings of the Elves; these Rings were never touched by Sauron, and were wielded by immortal beings who were not subject to the "unduly prolonged life" effect that the Great Rings all had. The Three, however, were made with the advice of Sauron (whom the elves at the time didn't realize was Sauron) and were still subject to The One Ring if a sufficiently powerful being gained possession of it. The Elves were immediately aware of this fact when Sauron first donned the One, and responded by promptly taking their rings off. The Three were not worn or used again until Sauron lost the One at the end of the Second Age. Gandalf states that if Sauron were to regain the One, one of the more dire consequences would be that everything that had been done with the Three would fall under his control. He is unsure whether the destruction of the One would cause the Three to be free of its shadow or if it would cause the Three to lose their powers, though he believes it is likely the latter. He turns out to be correct. |

Warehouse 13: Many of the artifacts in the Warehouse are clothing, jewelry, hairbrushes, and similar personal items, ranging from Mata Hari's stockings to Alessandro Volta'snote a 19th-century Italian scientist who experimented with magnetism and electricity; his last name gave us the term volt for a unit of electrical energy lab coat. One especially nasty item is called "Charles Atlas's Workout Trunks", and gives the wearer the ability to control their own density. Increased density makes the wearer super-tough; decreased density allows them to leap enormous distances. Unfortunately, after a while the wearer won't be able to control their increased density, leading to a localized gravity field as powerful as a black hole. | |

Kamen Rider: Kamen Rider 555: The Delta Driver Super Prototype doesn't come with the life-draining costs of its successors, but it makes the user addicted to using its power for violent ends. Kamen Rider Kabuto: In one episode, the Zecters are revealed to have a system that will turn the Riders into berserkers if they don't fight Worms. However, like most plot points in Kabuto, it's never mentioned again. Kamen Rider OOO: The purple Core Medals make OOO far more powerful, both granting him new ice powers and enabling him to kill the show's otherwise immortal main villains. However, they also gradually corrupt him towards becoming an Omnicidal Maniac. The other user of the purple Cores, Dr. Maki, is completely on board with this goal from the beginning and so they don't change his personality at all. Kamen Rider Build: The Hazard Trigger, an upgrade for the Build Driver that serves as the show's Sword of Plot Advancement, makes Build much more powerful when he uses it, but using it for more than a minute overloads his mind with stimulation that causes him to shut down, then reawaken as a silent, brutally efficient killing machine.

It takes the third wielder to admit that this is because it grants the power of foresight, and seeing that every possible future ends in the world evaporating into dust in the next few months does a number on the user's sanity. |

In The Elder Scrolls series, the Ring of Hircine has a few different effects based on the wearer, and Hircine's mood at the time. The one that most fits the trope is when the wearer is a werewolf and does not have Hircine's favour, becoming cursed to transform at erratic times and act more violently, and it doesn't like being removed even when worn by someone it won't affect. Inverted when Hircine is pleased with the wearer, as they will either gain a controlled werewolf transformation (if not one already) or total control over their existing ones (if they are). | |

Honey, I Shrunk the Kids the Series had the Thinky-Ring, which turned the wearer into a psychic vampire that grows smarter by draining the intelligence of other people, not to mention addictingly evil. Wayne's wife went so far as to call the ring her "precious," a reference to The Lord of the Rings (the novel; This was years before the movie version), and when his son wore it he dressed up in a black robe and used a growth ray to enlarge his cranium. | |

In Fate/Grand Order, due to the baseless rumors that he murdered Mozart in a jealous rage, Antonio Salieri has been warped into an Avenger. As part of this transformation, he's given a twisted costume named the Wailing Facade, which grants him considerable power and even a Noble Phantasm at the cost of turning him into a Mozart-hating psychopath. He's aware that he's not the real Salieri, who was in life a good friend and peer of Mozart, but he's not strong enough to sustain the existence of a Heroic Spirit without the costume. | |

See the Spider-Man entry under Comic Books. Every version of a Spidey Animated Series after the 80s has done a variation on the black suit saga. And in The Spectacular Spider-Man, Doc Ock's Freak Out happens exactly the same way as in the movie. The 80's version is notable as it originated this quality for the suit and it became Ret-Canon. |

Inverted, sort of, in the Invader Zim Christmas episode, where the already-evil Zim makes a robotic Santa suit that takes him over to make him jolly and Santa-ish. Played Straight later when the suit goes crazy and turns into a psychotic monster; it flies off into space and apparently terrorizes the Earth every Christmas one million years in the future. | |

The title artifact in The Mask and Son of the Mask plays with the trope. It is an item of Loki, god of mischief. So when it takes over the gentle dreamer Stanley Ipkiss, it boosts his confidence and turns him into a mostly-harmless cartoon maniac, who indulges in one act of strongly implied horrifying violence. Dorian, however, is bitter and violent, and the Mask only magnifies those bad traits to worse. | |

Warhammer 40,000 brings us suits of armor corrupted or even possessed by daemons, with... predictable... results for anyone who dons them. In Graham McNeil's novel Storm of Iron, a daemon lures Larana Utorian into donning one. True, she does get to kill the Beserker who wore it before her — but then it starts to get control of her. |

Kill la Kill's Junketsu zigzags this. It takes over the mind of anyone who wears it unless the wearer is sufficiently strong willed. Satsuki wears it for much of the series until it's captured and worn by Ragyo, whose mind and Junketsu's are fully aligned, and then used to turn Ryuko evil by forcing it on her. When it's finally returned to Satsuki, Iori repurposes the Kamui by infusing it with Senketsu's life fibers, which were altered by their father to make it compatible with humans. | |

In Peter Pan in Scarlet it's established that wearing someone else's clothes makes you more like them. The former Lost Boys exploit this by wearing their children's clothes so they can be young enough again to get to Neverland. The Big Bad of the story also exploits this by manipulating Peter Pan into wearing Hook's jacket as a trophy. This slowly corrupts him over the course of the book into acting more callous and pirate-like. | |

Spider-Man: The black costume that Spider-Man wore for a while is a sentient and aggressive, if not outright evil, symbiote creature. It used to take his body walking and swinging around while he was unconscious, and its aggression in turn made Peter aggressive and darker. For that matter, this is true of most the spider-suit type symbiotes from the Marvel Universe. Venom is kind of an Anti-Hero (due to the host's morals), but the majority of symbiotes seem to generally bend toward what readers would consider evil. However, it was later revealed that the symbiotes are usually pretty nice originally, but they inherit the personality traits of their previous wielders, changing it into "Maniacs Make the Clothes, and then the Clothes Make More Maniacs" (Venom itself originally bonded with a genocidal alien and then later on Deadpool, the combination of which drove it insane by the time Spidey got it). | |

Creature Court has the gown and a waistcoat Velody makes and uses the work to channel her feelings of darkness and anger - and then gives the clothes to Isangell and Priest. Turns out the garments are infested with the remnants of Dhynar's corrupted shade and the noxcrawl Veldoy saved Poet from, and they allow the sky to possess Isangell, cancelling the festivals that allow Aufleur to heal, and Priest, forcing him to kill Janvier and Seonard and seriously injure Warlord, destabilising the trust Velody has built in the Court, and eventually using him as a Manchurian Agent to destroy Bazeppe. There's also Poet's pocket watch, inherited from Saturn, which works as a conduit for the sky to manipulate him into attempting to trap Velody. Poet manages to shake it off, but the person who had the watch before him was Garnet, which ended...badly. |

The Mask: Downplayed when Stanley Ipkiss puts on the mask he becomes the eponymous eccentric, mischievous, but ultimately good-hearted vigilante. The same with Evelyn as when she accidentally puts on the mask she becomes a man hungry, Southern American girl named Eve but like The Mask she is sweet, kind, polite and loves Stanley very much even calling him screwball rabbit as a way of showing her love for him. Dr Neuman wears the mask when been given it by Stanley who then puts it on and becomes a insane and psychotic madman who thinks there is a disorder called Ipkissa Maskosis which he must get rid of no matter what even teaming up with Pretorius to do it because his plan might be the only way to do even though he thinks that Pretorius is insane. Peggy Brandt decides to put on the mask for once to see what it will be like and after putting it on becomes a vapid vain and egotistical, british green faced woman who believes she is the main story and must keep her appearance all perfect but like The Mask and Eve she cares very much about Stanley as she tells him that he's the only one who understands him unlike everyone else. |

In Femforce, Nightveil's powers are connected to her Cloak of Darkness, an inherently evil magical artifact. While this makes her arguably among the most powerful beings on earth, Laura must constantly struggle to keep the evil influence of her Cloak in check. She is at times insecure in her own ability to do so and is disturbed by the possibility that the Cloak may already be corrupting her in some way. | |

In the Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse episode "Little Bad Dress," Teresa changes from an innocent Cloud Cuckoolander to an obnoxious snobnote "snobnoxious" in the other girls' own words after borrowing a Little Black Dress from Barbie's Unknown Rival Raquelle. | |
