3Need a villain who's a greater challenge for the heroes than the one you have? Do you think your current villain would be better as TheDragon than the BigBad? Well, have we got something for you!

5TropeCo/TropeCo™ are proud to present the latest solution to this problem - SealedEvilInACan! We've put the villain you need (or inversely, [[SealedGoodInACan the hero you need]], if you're looking for the [[InvertedTrope inverse]] - just make sure to specify if you want the inverse when ordering). Adding a bit of this can make a faction that might've otherwise bordered on laughable become very serious!

7Available in the following varieties:
8* [[SealedBadassInACan Badass]], if you're not sure if you want them to be evil right away, or want it to be a race between the heroes and villains to see who opens it.
9** [[SealedGoodInACan Heroic]], if you want to have the ''villains'' be the one who are trying to stop it's opening.
10* [[SealedArmyInACan Multi-use]], if you need the villains to suddenly have an army of {{Mooks}}, but can't have the heroes just sit around while the villains recruit/develop an army of robots.
11* [[LeakingCanOfEvil A Leaky Can]] can let you have the villain's full power sealed away, but still have them have an impact on the story.
12* [[SealedInsideAPersonShapedCan Person-shaped]], for when you want to give more importance to a seemingly useless character. Also comes in [[SealedEvilInATeddybear animal variety]].
13* [[SealedEvilInASixPack Multiple cans]], for when you want to have the villains open a can right away, but don't want them to unleash the sealed evil yet.
14* [[SealedEvilInADuel Sealed Good vs Sealed Evil]], for when you want the good and bad sealed at the same time, and want releasing one to risk releasing the other.
