'''Basic Trope Description''': A villain who needs support to stay alive.

* '''Straight''': Emperor Evulz may be an EvilOverlord with everything that comes with it, but is hooked up on machines that he needs to survive.
* '''Exaggerated''': All villains of the show are people on life support.
* '''Downplayed''': Emperor Evulz is in a wheelchair, but can survive quite well otherwise.
* '''Justified''':
** Evulz' power is weakening due to his advanced age.
** Evulz lost his health (or even body) in a magical accident.
* '''Inverted''': Alice, our heroine, is on life support.
* '''Subverted''': When we first confront Emperor Evulz, he is in a hospital bed and surrounded by bleeping machines. But then he just gets up and confronts the heroes in a perfectly healthy state.
* '''Double Subverted''': Then, Emperor Evulz collapses due to PullingTheIV besides his disease, and has to be put back on the life support machines.
* '''Enforced''': The writer intends to humanize Emperor Evulz.
* '''Averted''': No villain is on life support.
* '''Parodied''': Emperor Evulz' life support is chocolate.
* '''Zigzagged''': Whether Emperor Evulz is on life support or not is dependent on the day.
* '''Invoked''': Emperor Evulz hooks himself up on life support machines since the heroes wouldn't harm a sick person (at least, that is what he thinks).
* '''Exploited''':
** Emperor Evulz talks the heroes out of killing him with the excuse that he is already so sick that he is on life support - and it wouldn't be very heroic to kill a deadly sick person.
** Alternatively, Alice kills him by just pulling the plug.
* '''Defied''': When Emperor Evulz falls sick, he decides against life support and chooses a quick exit.
* '''Lampshaded''': "And we have that what already some heroes had before us: an Evulz on life support."
* '''Discussed''': "I heard they had to put him on life support." "Do we even have to kill him to end his reign?" "Yes, nature could easily do it herself for us."
* '''Conversed''': "Did they really have to kill him when he was already sick enough for life support?"
