Welcome to Troperia, a kingdom of high magic, higher science, and infinite wonder, splendor, and power. Our legion of [[Magic Knight
This is the
One [[Fridge Logic|has to ask]] "Why did this happen? '''How''' did this happen?" If it isn't for the sake of humor, then it's likely part of an [[Idiot Plot]] -- [[The Guards Must Be Crazy]] for [[The President's Daughter|the princess]] to be kidnapped, the bad guy [[You Can't Thwart Stage One|has to steal]] the [[Cosmic Keystone]], and the [[Redshirt Army]] has to fall to the horde of [[Mooks]]. Otherwise, why would they need the [[Player Character]]'s help? To reformulate their tax codes?
Line 27:
** More justifiable in DC then in Marvel Universe, since the former's supers are generally way more out of the range of regular weaponry then the later's.
* In an [[Alan Moore]] "Future Shock" story, evil overlords near the end of their training are assigned one of these to brutalize.
* ''[[Preacher (Comic Book)]]'': Jesse, wielding naught but the WORD OF GOD, infiltrates the most powerful military base in the world to save his friend. To make it worse, they knew that he was coming and knew about his powers. They didn't want to kill him, but should have been able to easily contain his [[
** They did. It was only the interference of an insanely powerful, murderous jackass that 'saved' the day.
** Consider that Jesse can make anyone do anything that he tells them to. Bringing him in alive is going to be problematic for that reason. {{spoiler|Really, the only reason he made it in and out alive is because D'Aronique wanted to extract revenge for Maria L'Angelle's death.}}

* In ''[[Invincible]]'', the planet of bug people that Omni-man settled on after leaving Earth. Omni-man didn't have to do ''anything'' to conquer

* Basically the entire universe in ''[[Power Rangers]]''. Name the most embarrassingly pathetic villain you can think of. Chances are pretty damn good that at some point, he or she has conquered a planet, or even a galaxy. The [[Alternate Universe]] of [[Power Rangers RPM]] is especially notable, as the villain of the year actually manages to conquer Earth in that one and hold it for three years before being defeated.
* Subverted in the ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series]]'' episode "Errand of Mercy". The Organians are such [[Actual Pacifist
** According to [[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]], Bajor started out as one of these- a relatively isolated planet of [[Actual Pacifist
*** Also during the Dominion War, Betazed, [[Star Trek: The Next Generation|home of Counselor Troi]] was conquered by the Dominion in less than ten hours thanks to oudated defense systems and the fleet assigned to protect it off on training excercise.
* The planet Dulkis is effectively conquered in about 5 minutes by a single Dominator and his [[Killer Robot]] in the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' serial ''The Dominators''. But then, their hat is [[Actual Pacifist|Actual Pacifism]] and ineffective democracy.
