* '''Straight''': [[BigBad Emperor Evulz]] is the protagonist of the story ''Emperor Evulz [[TakeOverTheWorld Takes Over the World]]'', which contains ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin ([[TinTyrant of course]]). He acts in every way like a traditional EvilOverlord BigBad, but is the main character who narrates the story.

** The characters in the story [[GreyAndGrayMorality can't be neatly divided into good guys and bad guys]], but on the shades of grey within the show, the character is an obviously darker shade.
** The protagonist is a WellIntentionedExtremist and genuinely believes that [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans his actions will create a better world]]. He ''might'' have been an actual hero, if not for the horrific measures he takes to achieve his goals.

* '''Deconstructed''': Having Evulz in charge does in no way lessen his villainy, causing the whole story to turn into a serious case of BlackAndGrayMorality where the distant and ineffectual heroes have no connection to the audience and the only people given care and attention are unsympathetic and evil. All the events that would normally be OffscreenVillainy in a traditional story gets described in livid detail, showcasing just how horrible villains are in such stories and how many lives get lost while the heroes tarry and go through their personal flaws and demons.

** Due to being a protagonist, Evulz is as disgustingly overpowered as you'd expect a hero to be. This allows him to absolutely lay waste to any and all opposition in his way, causing him to be a KarmaHoudini who can get away with anything because nobody is strong enough to actually challenge his might.
