I never got to use most of them, but I was designing supervillains for a Mutants and Masterminds game based on song names. There was the Orange Crush, Happy Jack, Lightning Hopkins, Stormy Monday, and several more I brainstormed up.
 

If that picture inspired you, you might want to check out Tanith Lee's [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Red-Blood-Tales-Sisters-Grimmer/dp/0879977906"]Red as Blood.[/ame]

As for what inspires me?

Art, music, clouds in the sky...whatever resonates with me.
 

I never thought I'd find inspiration for a D&D adventure in the pages of Blueboy. But hey, it worked for Cyndi Lauper, it works for me.

Go on with your bad self!

Along similar lines, check out Neil Gaiman's Snow, Glass, Apples

Also read "The Lesser Evil", a short story about a villainous Snow White by polish fantasy author Andrzej Sapkowski, found here:

I always wanted to have a Thompson gunner character in Call of Cthulhu named Roland. The state of his head would depend on whether I was a player or the GM at the time.
