Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope''': An {{expy}} and the character/thing/person that they're based on exist within the same setting.
* '''Straight''': ''Troperman'' is an [[ShowWithinAShow in-universe franchise]] and obviously meant to be a reference to ''Franchise/{{Superman}}''. However, it's shown that Superman exists in the setting as well.
* '''Exaggerated''': The show has expies of just about every piece of media under the sun, and their real life equivalents also exist in the setting.
* '''Downplayed''': Alice makes reference to Superman in one scene, but that's about it.
* '''Justified''': In-universe, Troperman was deliberately made as a FollowTheLeader to Superman.
* '''Inverted''': ???
* '''Subverted''': ???
* '''Double Subverted''': ???
* '''Parodied''': ???
* '''Zig-Zagged''': ???
* '''Averted''': Troperman is explicitly shown to be the in-universe stand-in to Superman.
* '''Enforced''': The writers weren't allowed to use Superman in the work, so they made a fictional equivalent to him. When they managed to get permission to use Superman, they figured that dropping Troperman would make no sense, so they just had them coexist.
* '''Lampshaded''': ???
* '''Invoked''': ???
* '''Exploited''': ???
* '''Defied''': "Oh, just like Super-" "His name is ''Troper''man!"
* '''Discussed''': ???
* '''Conversed''': "So, is Troperman kinda like the knockoff version of Superman in their universe too?"
