Killer Queen

Deadly female sovereign

Killer Queen is a 1974 Queen song featuring Freddie Mercury's vocals and Brian May's guitar work, depicting a high-class call girl: She's a killer queen, gunpowder, gelatine.

The phrase has since become shorthand for a glamorous, dangerous woman.

In the manga and anime JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Killer Queen is a powerful supernatural ability that can turn anything into a bomb.
