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]]. |
