* '''Inverted''': EvilAllAlong
* '''Subverted''': Bob claims that he's not really the bad guy, but it turns out he's lying to prevent the heroes from ruining his vile schemes.
* '''Double Subverted''': Bob's claim of being a bad guy pretending to be good was itself a deception intended to prevent the heroes from discovering he was on their side until they were supposed to.
* '''Parodied''': Even after it's clear Bob is actually good, the heroes insist that he's still a bad guy and is only pretending to be nice to stay in everyone's good graces.

* '''Enforced''': They establish a character assumed to be evil as actually being good so there can be AnAesop on how things aren't always as they appear.
* '''Lampshaded''': "Dang. Had I known you were on our side the whole time, Bob, I probably wouldn't have screwed up your covert mission."
* '''Invoked''': Bob undergoes a mission that requires the heroes to target him, so he pretends he's the bad guy to give the heroes a reason to want to go after him.
* '''Defied''': Bob knows that the heroes assuming he's an enemy will only cause problems, so he makes it clear he's on their side at the first opportunity.
* '''Discussed''': "I know, you're probably confused hearing I've been on your side the whole time. Heck, I probably shouldn't have been so aggressive and secretive had I'd known it would make you suspicious."
* '''Conversed''': "With how reclusive, antisocial, and brutal Bob's been, he only has himself to blame for the heroes assuming he was a villain."
* '''Deconstructed''': Even though Bob has turned out to be a good guy, his more aggressive and questionable actions still cause the heroes to distrust him.
* '''Reconstructed''': Bob's more outright hostile acts were merely to let the heroes know that they can't afford to keep their guard down, and the heroes understand that being good doesn't always mean playing by the rules or being open about which side you're on.
