* Orador has conquered countless universes, each with countless civilizations and brought them to ruin. Dreadlords and corporations run unrestricted, taking advantage of the people under them. [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness He discarded the civilization that believed him to be their Messiah]] and committed terrible acts in his name for eons the moment their usefulness had run out, and almost completely annihilated the Known Multiverse. All so he could escape his layer of fiction - which he saw as nothing more than a Multiverse of slaves for our entertainment - and enter our own.

NiceJobBreakingItVillain: See AlasPoorVillain. Rusty's opponent is right next to the ArtifactOfPower. All she has to do is take it and kill Rusty. Instead, she attempts to physically attack him, giving him the opportunity to shoot her.

* Rusty himself gets this when he's stabbed through the heart by [[TheDragon Lord Vale]] while trying to kill Orador. He apologizes to Swoo for his treatment of her as blood fills his lungs, and with no medical treatment available, [[TheHeroDies soon dies.]]
