| - When Red Dwarf was being slowly consumed by a corrosive virus, Kochanski suggested travelling into a mirror universe. There everything would be opposite and a viable antivirus would exist. Kryten quickly created a prism laser that was fired at a mirror in Captain Hollister's quarters. This created a gateway to a mirror universe which Rimmer stepped through before the laser failed, needing to be repaired.

- The Mirror Universe is an alternate counterpart to the main World of Warcraft universe.

- 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. From the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Mirror, Mirror". In homage to this episode, it's common for an evil mirror equivalent to have a goatee beard. Examples of Mirror Universe include:
- The Mirror Universe is a common plot device in fantasy, horror and sci-fi which takes the idea of parallel-realities and mixes it with dark fiction to create dystopias in which the traditionally "good" portions of a series are replaced by "evil" or "corrupt" versions. Like many concepts the Mirror Universe is a source of parody due to it being used so often and some authors do not like utilizing it as they feel it has become dated - regardless of this criticism it remains very popular and many large franchises have at least on "Mirror Universe".
- The mirror universe is a fictional parallel universe in which the plots of several Star Trek television episodes take place. It is named for "Mirror, Mirror", the original series episode in which it first appeared.
- The "mirror universe" is an informal name for a parallel universe first recorded as visited by James T. Kirk and several officers from the USS Enterprise in 2267. This parallel universe coexists with the prime universe on another dimensional plane. The mirror universe was so named because many people and places seemed to be opposites of their characteristics in the prime universe, with numerous good aspects now evil and vice versa, thus "mirror"-like. (TOS: "Mirror, Mirror" )
- The San 'Shyuum Civil War has come to a close and the victorious Reformists march onward aboard their newfound Holy City. First contact with the Sangheili results in the Sangheili-San 'Shyuum War. Finally, we reach the point where this mysterious universe splits-off from our own. An unaccountable space-time anomaly leads to a vital Sangheili victory. The war ends in a stale mate and amends are made. The Sangheili are willing to overlook the Covenant's usage of High Charity as long as they agree not to affect, utilize, or bring harm to any other Forerunner relics in the future. The Sangheili are even willing to join the San 'Shyuum in order to enforce this compromise. The San 'Shyuum are to be recognized as Prophets, the alliances primary political leaders. The Sangheili serve primarily as
- During the 22nd century, the capture of USS Defiant, a Starfleet vessel from a hundred years in the future, helped to solidify the Terran Empire's grip on power and dominance over the quadrant. (ENT: "In a Mirror, Darkly", "In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II") The chance interaction between Starfleet officers from the primary universe during the 23rd century, with their counterparts from the mirror, who eventually led to the downfall of the Terran Empire and the rise of the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance.

- The Mirror Universe is a world that is an exact duplicate of the Middleverse, except that most people who are good in the real universe are evil, and most people who are evil are good. The universe in generally is dark and dismal, mostly colored in shades of gray (partly because, according to Ida, the sun can no longer be seen). A description of the denizens of the Mirror Universe can be found here.
- the mirror universe is an alternate verson of the BHOD Universe where the Rakatan's Infinite Empire never fell and continued to control the galaxy for thousands of years. It contains alternate version of the BHOD Universe's inhabitants as well as alternate versions of it's planets. In many ways the Mirror Universe is an exact carbon copy of the BHOD and Star Wars Universes.
- It is not clear if the mirror universe diverged from the primary universe at some point or always existed in tandem, mirroring events and peoples. If the two universes did diverge it was at a point many hundreds of years ago.

(ENT episode: "In a Mirror, Darkly") The Bajorans and Trill had empires until they were conquered by Earth. (ST novel: Dark Passions)
