And every day he would read about different tropes.

Until one day, he discovered, to his horror, that he and his girlfriend Alice were in fact fictional characters often used to demonstrate tropes in action.

And because of this, Bob had an existential breakdown and became a Straw Nihilist supervillain.

And because of this, Bob renamed himself Emperor Evulz and went about finding competent servants (but not too many of them).

And because of this Alice became a superhero in order to talk some sense into Bob or at least keep him from doing too much damage.
