I tend to avoid getting involved in political threads, and this really isn't meant to be one, but it was a political post by Republican loser Madison Cawthorn that made me think of the topic for this thread. In his whiny post after losing his primary run, Cawthorn wrote, " It's time for the rise of the new right, it's time for Dark MAGA to truly take command."
The use of the work "dark" here is interesting, because it's typically used to denote the corruption of something. MAGA is already corrupt, as it is, but I digress. It did make me wonder about the origin of using "dark" before a name, like this. Dark Phoenix naturally comes to mind. I don't recall hearing/reading "dark" used in that manner before the classic comic book story by JB and Chris Claremont, or maybe I'm forgetting something?
Was "dark" used in this manner before Dark Phoenix, where the word "dark" is placed before a name to suggest a corrupt or more sinister version of a person (or thing)?
