So whenever there's a world level threat around, the Phantom Thief is the superhero's ally, but when there's not a world level threat they're enemies.
Does that mean the Phantom Thief is both the hero's Ally and Enemy?
Thanks!

No. The Thief isn't really out to get the Hero so what you've really got there is a situation where the Thief is the Hero's Ally, but the Hero is the Thief's Enemy.
In theory it would be possible to have a situation where the same character is both Enemy and Ally, but that isn't an example.
