** Emperor Evulz [[DarkLordOnLifeSupport depends upon life support powered armor anyway]] which means that a remote controlled copy can only be distinguished by opening the suit.

** Emperor Evulz finds his sapient duplicates even if inferior to him individually proliferate and get more done than he can. After this renders him irrelevant the duplicates decide to [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters dispose of the]] [[DirtyCoward coward]] [[LaserGuidedKarma who set them up to die for him.]]

* '''Plotted a Good Waste''':The heroes destroy the emperor, only for it to turn out to be a decoy, so they go for the real emperor. However, that emperor turns out to be a decoy, so they go after the REAL emperor. Hoowever, he turns out to be a decoy. This turns into an arc-wide game of cat and mouse. Eventually they find out that emperor evulz is just a poltergeist, who makes decoys of an emperor just to mess with the heroes.

* '''Justified''': The decoy was designed to fool AliceAndBob.
