Line #41 PlayingWith/FaceHeelTurn


1	'''Basic Trope''': A good guy turns into one of the bad guys.
2	* '''Straight''': Bob turns to TheDarkSide to defeat his worst enemy, and stays that way.
3	* '''Exaggerated''': [[AllLovingHero Bob]] turns to TheDarkSide to help him win a one dollar bet, and gleefully speeds across the MoralEventHorizon shortly thereafter. He then becomes [[BigBad a force of evil so big]] that he rivals TheHeavy himself in heinousness. Eventually, he becomes [[CompleteMonster the lowest of the low]].
4	* '''Downplayed''':
5	** Bob becomes one of the bad guys ''[[HeWhoFightsMonsters mentally]]'' and never actually leaves the heroes.
6	** Bob is a good guy turned bad, but he's almost always out of the spotlight as a villain.
7	** Bob becomes extremely disappointed of his allies' [[GoodIsImpotent apparent lack of results]], so he abandons them to become a [[PayEvilUntoEvil brutal]] AntiHero who still works in favor of their cause, but in a [[HeWhoFightsMonsters rather twisted and cruel way]].
8	** TookALevelInJerkass
9	** WhatTheHellHero
10	* '''Justified''':
11	** He got DrunkOnTheDarkSide.
12	** The villain made him [[AnOfferYouCantRefuse an offer he couldn't refuse]].
13	** Bob was thrown over the DespairEventHorizon.
14	** Bob tried to be a good guy, but [[MistreatmentInducedBetrayal the other good guys didn't cut him any slack and treated him like dung]]. He decided that BeingGoodSucks, and [[ThenletMEbeevil opted to be a villain instead]], [[DudewheresMyRespect just so they can treat him better than he had when he was a hero]].
15	** He considered the entire world [[CrapsackWorld too far gone to save]], therefore, [[OmnicidalManiac destroying it completely]] would be considered a MercyKill.
16	** The villains have [[KarmaHoudini gotten away with their atrocities one too many times]], and Bob finally decides [[https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/If+you+can%27t+beat+them%2C+join+them if he can’t beat them, he might as well join them]].
17	* '''Inverted''': HeelFaceTurn.
18	* '''Subverted''':
19	** He's only [[TheMole pretending to turn to evil]], to find out what the bad guys are planning.
20	** He's just {{Brainwashed}}.
21	** He was actually captured or killed and replaced by his EvilDoppelganger.
22	** [[DangerRoomColdOpen Bob was merely participating in a police exercise as one of the 'criminals']].
23	* '''Double Subverted''': When [[TheHero Hiro]] confronts him on his turn to evil, Bob says he's only trying to find out what the bad guys are planning. He's lying. Or he meant to, but starts BecomingTheMask.
24	* '''Parodied''':
25	** Bob turns to TheDarkSide entirely because GoodIsBoring.
26	** Bob turns to TheDarkSide because they promised him cookies.
27	** Bob turns to TheDarkSide because he had [[ComicBook/TheKillingJoke a simple bad day]].
28	* '''Zig Zagged''':
29	** FaceHeelRevolvingDoor
30	** Bob turns against the heroes, and sides with Emperor Evulz. Then it turns out that he is secretly working against Evulz. Once they realize the sheer lengths Bob is willing to go to satisfy his personal grudge with Evulz, they decided that while he may be Evulz, he is no friend of theirs.
31	* '''Averted''':
32	** Despite occasionally having to ShootTheDog, Bob [[AntiHero remains good]].
33	** Bob has IncorruptiblePurePureness, and thus will never join the bad guys' cause.
34	** Bob was already evil to begin with.
35	* '''Enforced''':
36	** "We need a new villain. What if a hero turned against his fellows?"
37	** "We need a new source of drama in this show. What if one of the heroes went bad and the others had to cope with their friend now being their foe?"
38	* '''Lampshaded''': "You've gone over to TheDarkSide? After all the times we've crushed them? Really?
39	* '''Invoked''': The villain knows Bob's weaknesses and plays on them in a "BreakThemByTalking" [[HannibalLecture lecture]] to cause him to go to TheDarkSide.
40	* '''Defied''':
41	** "You're not going to get me to betray my friends with a [[ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules mere offer of money]] or whatever."
42	** Bob attempts to defect to Emperor Evulz. Evulz laughs in his face, tells him he has nothing worth offering him, and shoots him.
43	* '''Exploited''': Emperor Evulz employs Bob's knowledge of the inner workings of his former organization to gain tactical advantage over the FallenHero's former friends.
44	* '''Discussed''': "You don't need to worry about Bob [[BecomingTheMask forgetting which side he's on]]- he knows exactly what he's fighting for."
45	* '''Conversed''': "Is this the episode where he turns into a bad guy?"
46	* '''Deconstructed''':
47	** Bob turns to TheDarkSide, but in doing so becomes a FallenHero who finds out painfully that BeingEvilSucks.
48	** It is revealed that he has ulterior motives beyond good and evil for working for TheDarkSide, believing that they will better help him accomplish his goals.
49	* '''Reconstructed''': Now realizing evil sucks, Bob tries to [[TheAtoner atone]] for what he has done, but is promptly {{re\|formedButRejected}}jected and [[TragicVillain bitterly embraces]] his fallen status.
50	* '''Played For Laughs''': Bob joined TheDarkSide only because he has more opportunities [[LaughablyEvil to employ comedy while working for it]], in stark contrast to the seriousness of his original team.
51	* '''Played For Drama''': After his Face-Heel Turn, Bob [[FriendlyEnemy still cares about his friends]] on the side of good, but their goals oppose each other and he is conflicted on whether to give up his evil plan or lose his friends forever.
52	* '''Played For Horror''': Bob's Face-Heel Turn leads to him to kill anyone and everyone who made fun of him for [[TragicVillain losing Alice]], when in reality they have nothing to do with Bob or Alice. Bob then takes this [[JumpingofftheSlipperySlope a step further]] by extracting the blood from their corpses to create live blood clones [[MesaCrowd of himself]], each of whom are sentient and just as sane as the original, to conquer the world with an iron fist...[[EvilisPetty only because his mom refused to cook lunch for him]]. He would then take this step [[MoralEventHorizon a tad bit further]] by threatening to kill anyone who disobeys him or his philosophy in many gruesome ways or enslave them in [[FateWORSEthandeath fates worse than death]] or [[AndImustscream any fate so bad not even death can save them]].
