* '''Straight''': Emperor Evulz is an EvilOverlord, [[EnemyMine but he allies with]] [[TheHero Alice]] against [[FluffyTheTerrible Bob,]] [[OmnicidalManiac the Progenitor]] [[EldritchAbomination of Dark Ages]]; because if Bob wins, Evulz, along with everyone else, loses big time.

* '''Justified''': [[EvilIsOneBigHappyFamily Evil]] is ''[[InvertedTrope not]]'' [[EvilIsOneBigHappyFamily one big happy family]]. Evulz the EvilOverlord, Charlie the CompleteMonster, and the OmnicidalManiac Progenitor all have mutually exclusive goals, which they use their evil to fulfill. Just because they're all evil doesn't mean they have to like each other.

* ''Played for Drama'': Alice and Evulz hated one another until Bob managed to make both of their lives a living hell. As they were forced to work together, either Evulz makes a HeelFaceTurn or Alice makes a FaceHeelTurn resulting in the two becoming close allies. Through masterful planning, the two heroes (or villains) defeat Bob and create a strong friendship...for now at least.

* '''Exploited''': Evulz creates Bob to get Alice to team up with him so he can betray her later.

* '''Conversed''': "Evulz? Why do ''you'' want to save the world?" "Because I can't rule the world if there's no world to rule."

* '''Implied''': After the DarkestHour, Bob is killed by a mysterious masked man. In a later episode, the mask appears in the background of Evulz's lair.

%%* '''Implied''': ???

* '''Deconstructed''': Evulz and the heroes both ''want'' Bob stopped. The problem is, [[WhoWillBellTheCat they'd prefer the other side make the sacrifices]], because each knows it's back to business as usual after the fight. [[TheBadGuy Bob wins]], or at least causes far more damage than he would have if the two sides had cooperated efficiently.

* '''Downplayed''': Bob is TheUnfettered and thinks that a 1% chance of destroying the world [[WellIntentionedExtremist is an acceptable risk for taking down Evulz]].

* '''Deconstucted''': As soon as the fighting is done, Evulz goes back with antagonizing the heroes, now that his greater threat is gone.

** Bob kills Evulz first, because he knows that not only would Evulz be a powerful opponent, he ''would'' fight against Bob because Evulz likes the world the way it is.

** Evulz knows how to survive the end of the world that Bob is planning, and let's it happen so that he can build his new empire from the ashes of the old one.
