History PlayingWith / StupidEvil

** StupidGood

** Kill-Everyone's mentality deteriorated from his years of villainy.

* '''Inverted''': PragmaticVillainy

** Kill-Everyone's insane, destructive, actions wind up devastating everything around him. Even though he technically "wins" by killing all his enemies (through unpredictability or sheer raw power), the world around him is so ruined that it's impossible for him to accomplish his original goals.

** While Emperor Evulz had nothing to do with Kill-Everyone's origin (and in fact rather detests him) he's not above using Kill-Everyone's antics to distract from or further his own operations.

* '''Defied''': "I don't care if it would be 'evil'. I have real goals beyond simply being obnoxious, and doing this would get in the way of them."
* '''Discussed''': ???

* '''Reconstructed''': Despite the end Kill-Everyone's acts of chaos, he still manages to cause destruction because of his needless acts of violence.
* '''Played for Laughs''': Kill-Everyone [[BullyingTheDragon decides it's]] [[SarcasmMode a great idea]] [[FlippingTheBird to give a middle finger]] [[DoNotTauntCthulhu to the]] PhysicalGod [[SpecialPersonNormalName Phil]] who is notorious for having a HairTriggerTemper towards villains. Kill-Everyone's men and allies all FacePalm at the same time.

* '''Conversed''': ???
* '''Deconstructed''': Kill-Everyone’s chronic BondVillainStupidity eventually catches up to him, getting him incarcerated or even killed.

* '''Double Subverted''': “Bah. Burn it down anyway.”

* '''Zig Zagged''': Kill-Everyone kills his [[TheDragon Dragon]], Harm, but he did so because [[TheStarscream Harm was treacherous]] and [[ReverseMole covertly helping Alice and Bob]]. Unfortunately, Harm was also his HyperCompetentSidekick, to whom none of his {{Mooks}} can compare.

** "Can you tell me, why on earth we're following this moron?"
* '''Invoked''': ???
* '''Exploited''': ???
* '''Defied''': ???

* '''Straight''': [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Lord Kill-All-Life]] decides to indulge in EvilGloating while he has AliceAndBob in his grasp instead of just killing them outright.
* '''Exaggerated''': Kill-All-Life and his men [[RapePillageAndBurn raided the town of Tinyville]], [[KillEmAll slaughtering every man, woman, and child]], destroying their crops, and burning every building to the ground, even though that town could have provided them with food, protection, and shelter. Besides, said destruction will call the heroes’ attention to their whereabouts. Kill-All-Life is also a BadBoss who tends to kill his {{Mook}}s [[YouHaveFailedMe for failing him]] (or [[YouHaveOutLivedYourUsefulness even succeeding]]), attacks ThePresident on live television, and [[MurderArsonAndJaywalking litters]], simply because it’s '''EEEEVVVVIL!!!!!!!!!!!'''

** Kill-All-Life is '''REALLY''' that dumb.

* '''Parodied''': [[OmnicidalManiac Lord Kill-All-Life]] is so desperate to [[EvilerThanThou commit more evil than any villain before him,]] he would [[MeaningfulName follow the edict that is his name]], never giving any thought to the ramifications of making himself the LastOfHisKind...all while speaking in a SimpletonVoice.
* '''Zig Zagged''': Kill-All-Life kills his [[TheDragon Dragon]], Harm, but he did so because [[TheStarscream Harm was treacherous]] and [[ReverseMole covertly helping Alice and Bob]]. Unfortunately, Harm was also his HyperCompetentSidekick, to whom none of his {{Mooks}} can compare.

* '''Played for Drama''': Because of Kill-All-Life's [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder constantly betraying]] [[TeamKiller his fellow villains]] all [[EvilerThanThou just to prove he's a bigger villain than them]] and the fact that he's a BadBoss. The other villains formed an EnemyMine with AliceAndBob.
