7) Elvira, Mistress of the Dark
Elvira revels in the macabre, not socioeconomic inequalities. So I was surprised to discover 1) she was the star of DC Comics’ reboot series of House of Mystery back in 1986, and 2) that it had a Christmas special which included Elvira getting so mad that only Christmas carols were on the radio that she received Dickens’ Carol in her dreams. House of Mystery mainstays Cain and Abel serve as the first two spirits, who can only show her that Christmas does indeed suck in both the past and the present. The third spirit, Destiny, shows her that humanity might not have long to live, causing Elvira to realize letting people celebrate Christmas while they’re still around might be a good thing.
