Fan Casting Hoist by Their Own Petard(Hoist by Her Own Petard, Hoist by His Own Petard)

Description of Hoist by Their Own Petard (Hoist by Her Own Petard, Hoist by His Own Petard):

The villain's own weapon or malicious plan is the cause of their downfall and/or death. This could be something as big as a Mad Scientist who creates monsters and/or a Weapon of Mass Destruction getting killed by their own creation, or as small as a prankster accidentally setting off their own trap. In media intended for young children, it is often a Death by Irony that releases the hero from the unpleasantness of actually killing their enemy; a more specific type of Self-Disposing Villain. If the hero is not responsible for the death in any way, it can also be a Karmic Death. Would also overlap with Accidental Suicide.
