{{quote|''"Picture every [[Golden Age|gold]], [[Silver Age|silver]], [[Bronze Age|bronze]] and [[Dark Age|rust age]] comic. Imagine a comic shop full of every [[DC Comics|DC comic]] ever. Now imagine that each one is about the Syndicate, and is about some lone hero rising up, and getting killed. Every issue is a forensic report of a new hero, alone and outclassed, standing up and getting murdered, brutally, publicly, colorfully, at the rate of one or two a month. It's not that the Syndicate are killers, but killers in equal measure to the heroes. It's evocative."''|[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HF6SFaVs3M qbe9584]}}

Often a subset of [[Bizarro Universe]], it is an [[Alternate Universe]] where Good and Evil characterisations are reversed, but is otherwise the same as the "real" universe - except where logically derived from this change in morality. As an example, in [[Bizarro World]], the earth is a cube. In the mirror universe, the earth is a sphere, but the [[Mirror Self]] of [[The Captain]] has a cool eyepatch.

* ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'' performs this in Parallel Works 4, where the Beastmen are being oppressed by Kamina, and Viral is [[The Hero]], it actually makes Kamina look ''legitimately evil''.
