Line #10 PlayingWith/MirrorUniverse


1	'''Basic Trope''': A universe in which the heroes are the villains and the villains are heroes.
2	* '''Straight''':
3	** The members of Hero Inc. accidentally get stuck in the universe of Villain Inc.
4	** The Boss of Darkness Guild finds himself in the universe of Lightness Tribe.
5	* '''Exaggerated''':
6	** [[BizarroUniverse In this universe,]] [[OppositeDay everything is reversed,]] [[BizarroUniverse from color schemes to gender, and even personalities.]]
7	** A mirror version of TheMultiverse.
8	* '''Downplayed''': The members of Hero Inc. accidentally get stuck in the universe of {{Jerkass}} Inc..
9	* '''Justified''':
10	** [[GodwinsLawOfTimeTravel Someone messed with time travel and accidentally created a universe where earlier villains won before the heroes or villains were born.]]
11	** The mirror universe's PatronGod is TheAntiGod, who created their universe deliberately to be the evil opposite of the main universe's PatronGod.
12	* '''Inverted''':
13	** Villain Inc. invades Hero Inc.'s universe.
14	** The Boss of Darkness Guild is shocked to see the Cheif of Lightness Tribe is actually as bad as him...meaning that [[NiceCharacterMeanActor the entire Tribe are just as evil as his original Guild]]...and he's all but happy to join in the fun against squishing Villain Inc.
15	* '''Subverted''':
16	** At first it seems like they stumbled onto an alternate universe, but it turns out to be a cosplay convention.
17	** Their other selves aren't evil, but instead have swapped personalities
18	* '''Double Subverted''':
19	** Then they walk outside and discover it really is an alternate universe.
20	** The other selves turn out to be EvilAllAlong.
21	* '''Parodied''':
22	** Every single citizen on Villain Inc's universe is evil and has a {{beard\|OfEvil}}-- even the females.
23	** Everything is reversed - even what reversing means - so there's no difference!
24	** The members of Hero Inc. found themselves in the universe of Villain Inc. by walking ''through a mirror''.
25	** Since the Heroes of Hero Inc. are largely competent, Villain Inc.'s members, inversely, are [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain barely a threat]].
26	** The main characters are morally neutral, meaning their Mirror Universe counterparts are little to no different.
27	* '''Zig Zagged''': Heroes Inc. are not in a mirror universe; it's a mind game being played by another villain. But the mind game creates a tear in the space-time continuum, which creates the mirror universe, where the heroes made a FaceHeelTurn and became Villains Inc. Heroes Inc. never finds out about the mirror universe that now actually exists.
28	* '''Averted''': There is no MirrorUniverse.
29	* '''Enforced''': "We need to show what might happen to the heroes if they weren't goody two-shoes, so create a MirrorUniverse."
30	* '''Lampshaded''': "Oh, no. A MirrorUniverse. This is worse than one [[GodwinsLawOfTimeTravel where the Nazis win World War II]]."
31	* '''Invoked''': "If my calculations are correct, we should arrive in the MirrorUniverse."
32	* '''Exploited''': The heroes purposefully travel to a MirrorUniverse to get resources that less moral versions of themselves have access to, or to recruit good counterparts of their own universe's Villains Inc.
33	* '''Defied''': "Damn it, we're in the MirrorUniverse! Let's get out of here before something plot-related happens!"
34	* '''Discussed''': "This world looks like something the people of a MirrorUniverse would love to inhabit."
35	* '''Conversed''': (putting away a comic book), "Why does every single comic book company have a MirrorUniverse? I gotta check Wikipedia to see if Paramount owns every single comic book company."
36	* '''Deconstructed''': Heroes Inc. find that their "evil" counterparts are their {{Mirror Character}}s, leading them to question their own motives and actions.
37	* '''Reconstructed''': . . .but, unlike their counterparts, they realize their wrongdoings and ultimately become better people for it.
38	* '''Played For Laughs''': Upon reaching the MirrorUniverse, Hero Inc. realizes that this must also be the universe where the {{Corrupt Corporate Executive}}s that cancelled their favorite show were much kinder to it. They then seek out as many [=DVDs=] of this universe's later seasons as they can.
39	* '''Played For Drama''': Narrative devices have also been mirrored. If NobodyCanDie in Hero Inc., then [[AnyoneCanDie all bets are off here]].
