Is this not just JAFAAC * 9? Few of these have a full overlap of "conqueror", "alien", and "prince", and this looks like it's arranged like an Expy trope of some sort despite it not actually being one. I unfortunately don't have any particular suggestions for a replacement, but maybe just a single one of these characters has an image that better illustrates those aspects of the trope concept.

Thanks for playing King's Quest V!

Which of these guys have an actual crown. Maybe use a pic of them leading a space ship attack? Im only famliar with Lothor/Sincline and Vegeta and they would be bad choices for a pic to choose from?

I can't seem to find many examples that easily scream "alien" and prince. None with crowns on themselves, the closest I've been able to find is him with his father Emperor Daibazaal who is in a crown at least:

There's enough consensus to pull the current, so I've gone ahead and done that and tagged the page for this thread.

I dont love 9 coz it looks like they are addressing the viewer lol.

It's better than the collage but that bar is so low you need ground penetrating radar to find it.

[up] I did wonder if I should try adding a panel of some of the Galra Black Army would help reinforce the "invading" / lessen the "are they breaking the fourth wall?" looks but I wasn't sure

[tdown] To those suggestions, they're still really vague and only tenuously representative of the trope. I'm fine just leaving it blank for now.

BUPKIS since it’s a fairly complex trope.

[up] Honestly it's not that complex it's just tricky to depcit. But I think I have something, I combined two different official images of Prince Vorkken from the gallery section of his page on the Wonderful 101 wiki and got this:

Eeh... that's one got the "conquering leader" part down, but the rest isn't super clear.

This is seeming like a tricky one to illustrate concisely.

[up] I mean. The prince part comes across as well. He's in the background wearing a crown at and being showered with streamers during some sort of public event and the foreground shows home as the conqueror?

I don't think it's difficult to illustrate, it's just that there aren't any good illustrations; 20 seems to do the job decently well, and I could see something like a poster for a work where the prince is a big head hovering over a great battle, or even an image with someone wearing a crown, possibly carrying other weaponry, while planting a flag. If a separate king figure is needed to get across the "prince" part (despite the trope name), the king's head could be on top of the prince's, or the prince could be delivering the flag and perhaps one or more prisoners to the king. But for whatever reason, we don't have an existing work that provides an image that fits that.
