mirror universe
Alternate dimension counterpart
A mirror universe is a parallel reality where familiar elements exist in reversed or opposite form—heroes become villains, allies become enemies, moral alignments flip.
The concept originates in science fiction, particularly *Star Trek*, where characters encounter evil versions of themselves.
More broadly, mirror universe describes any scenario where normal expectations are inverted: Election night felt like stepping into a mirror universe where all the polls were wrong.
