'''Basic Trope''': The villain who does the most heavy lifting among the baddies and causes the most personal trouble for the heroes.
* '''Straight''': [[TheDragon General Drake]] is the leader of TheEmpire's army who personally hunts down LaResistance, while [[BigBad his boss Emperor Evulz]] remains in his throne room, working from the shadows and giving Drake his orders.
* '''Exaggerated''': Evulz is only seen glaring menacingly at the heroes from his omnious fortress of doom while Drake reveals that he's [[TheHero Bob's]] [[LukeIAmYourFather father]], stabs [[ActionGirl Alice]] in the back, holds all the {{MacGuffin}}s in said fortress of doom, [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomps]] TheLancer, and commands various forces of darkness against the heroes- all in the name of his master.
* '''Downplayed''':
** Evulz and Drake are [[BigBadDuumvirate equal partners]]. However while Evulz has more influence, Drake has more screen time.
** Evulz and Drake are [[BigBadEnsemble separate antagonists]]. However while Evulz serves as the bigger threat in the long run, Drake serves as the more frequent obstacle to be dealt with.
* '''Justified''':
** Evulz might be a strategic mastermind, but physically, he's a [[NonActionBigBad frail, weak opponent]] who depends on General Drake to complete whatever missions he needs to do.
** Evulz is a DarkLordOnLifeSupport, so he ''can't'' do evil deeds on his own. He's forced to rely on Drake, who is all too eager to do his Emperor's bidding.
** The story is set after TheBadGuyWins, with Evulz being focused on running his empire. He can't afford to divert attention to some rebels, but Drake can, so he lets Drake have the responsibility of dealing with the rebels and leaving Evulz's hands free for more important matters.
* '''Inverted''':
** [[HeroesActVillainsHinder Sir Bob Tropesalot drives the plot, and Drake is only one of his obstacles.]]
** GreaterScopeVillain
** TheHero
* '''Subverted''': Evulz is revealed to not actually exist. He was merely a construct created by Drake that was meant to divert the heroes' attention so he could further his own goals.
* '''Double Subverted''': Evulz is just that good at keeping his existence hidden. Now that the heroes think that he doesn't exist and have focused their efforts on stopping Drake, he can scheme and plot more freely again.
* '''Parodied''':
** TheHeavy [[VisualPun is literally driving the plot - the plot is a truck]].
** Drake is [[FatBastard physically heavy]], and his immense weight is a crucial component of Evulz' scheme.
* '''Zig Zagged''': TheHeavy has the most lines, but is all SesquipedalianLoquaciousness which has little to no effect on the plot.
* '''Averted''': TheHeavy is not in the story.
* '''Enforced''': "Okay, we need a Darth Vader {{expy}}, so we need to give them a lot of lines too!"
* '''Lampshaded''': “Evulz is the main threat, but Drake is the one directly doing everything.”
* '''Invoked''': ???
* '''Exploited''': ???
* '''Defied''': ???
* '''Discussed''': "You'd think with all the chaos we've been causing for Evulz, he'd show his ugly mug any day now."
"You know how much of a coward he is, right? He'd never face us in a straight fight."
* '''Conversed''': ???
