The Dark Queen is the main villain in the video game series Battletoads as well as the short lived comic and cartoon adaptions.

She appeared in the console games Battletoads (1991), Battletoads in Battlemaniacs (1993), Battletoads & Double Dragon (1993) and the arcade game Battletoads Arcade (1994). According to Wikipedia, she was one of the first major female villains in video games.

She is a mysterious master of evil magic and the supreme commander of a space army bent on galactic conquest. She receives considerable attention due to her sex appeal as well as for being one of the first major villains in video games. In between stages she taunts the Battletoads on their progress, albeit often using surfer slang or sophomoric remarks such as calling them "Cattle Loads".

Her dominatrix-style attire consists of a cape, skimpy black leotard and corset, opera gloves, and thigh high boots. She has jet black hair, and a voluptuous body.

In the 2020 game, she has lost much of her sex appeal. Her true name is also revealed as Evelyn Volkmire, the sister of Silas Volkmire, a corrupt programmer who sought to also stop the Battletoads. Her new attire in the game consists of a frumpy purple jumpsuit. She reveals that due to her failure in conquering the Terran Empire she was stripped of her superpowers as well as her leotard and noted attire. She attempts to forge an alliance with the Battletoads in their quest to stop the villains of this game.

In the TV series, she is after Princess Angelica for possession of the magic amulet she wears. She is voiced by Kathleen Barr in the TV series.
