Line 32:
* Wendy and Goldie, twin prostitutes from Frank Miller's ''[[Sin City]]''. According to Marv, they even [[The Nose Knows|smell identical]].
* [[Mandrake the Magician]] and his [[Evil Twin]] Derek.
* The Trigger Twins, from DC Comics ''All-Star Western'' series.
* Lightning Lad and Lightning/Light Lass of the [[Legion of Super-Heroes (comics)|Legion of Super-Heroes]], who are [[Half-Identical Twins|fraternal twins]], come from a planet where nearly everyone is born with a twin sibling. The reason their older brother Lightning Lord is evil is because he was born without a twin.
* Huey, Dewey, and Louie from the ''[[Disney Ducks Comic Universe]]'', with bonus rhyming names. They have [[Color-Coded for Your Convenience]] hats: red is Huey, blue is Dewey, and Louie is green or yellow, depending on the colorist. Yellow was more prevalent in the 4-color era, but by the time of ''[[DuckTales (1987)]]'' green became the standard, possibly because of RGB screens.
 
=== Fanfiction ===
Line 41 ⟶ 42:
* There are identical twin brother cops in ''[[Hot Fuzz]]'' -- {{spoiler|the Sergeants Turner (Bill Bailey's characters)}}.
* Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen in everything they've done (except ''[[Full House]]'', where the twins both played the same one character to stretch limits on how long very young child actors are allowed to work). They're actually fraternal twins, but look alike enough for identical-twin plots to work.
* Both versions of ''[[The Parent Trap (1961 film)|The Parent Trap]]''.
* ''[[The Prestige]]'': {{spoiler|Borden and Fallon}}.
* The Stabbington Brothers in ''[[Tangled (2010 film)|Tangled]]''.
* A pair of elderly women twins appear in the French film ''[[Amelie]]'', buying food at the local fruit stand. They also [[Finishing Each Other's Sentences|Finishfinish Eacheach Otherother's Sentencessentences]].
 
=== [[Literature]] ===
Line 100 ⟶ 101:
* Kirio and Kirika from ''[[Kamichama Karin]]''.
* In ''[[Corsair]]'', fraternal twins Aura and Leti are clearly related yet distinct, with Leti taking much more after their father's side and Aura taking more after their mother's side.
* {{spoiler|"Syaoran Li" and "Watanuki Kimihiro"}} aka {{spoiler|"Tsubasa Li 1" and, presumably, "Tsubasa Li 2}} of ''[[Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle]]'' and ''[[xxxHolic×××HOLiC]]'' are a particularly notable example, being that they're not identical despite one of them being a time travel duplicate of the other.
* ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED|Gundam SEED]]'''s {{spoiler|Kira and Cagalli}}, being largely based on [[Star Wars|Luke and Leia]]. In addition to being non-identical, one is a genetically engineered superman and the other is completely unaltered.
* Kagami and Tsukasa Hiiragi from ''[[Lucky Star]]'' are fraternal twins who are drawn to have very different eye shapes (Tsukasa has [[Tareme Eyes]] and Kagami has [[Tsurime Eyes]]) and they also have different hairstyles. However, they do look more similar to each other than to any of their other family members, at least as far as their hair and eye colors are concerned.
Line 107 ⟶ 108:
* Rin and Yukio Okamura from ''[[Blue Exorcist|Ao No Exorcist]]'' are fraternal twins who - despite looking somewhat alike when you take away Yukio's glasses - are opposites in pretty much everything, up and including Rin being (half-)demon and Yukio being human. This didn't stop the fandom from going nuts with [[Twincest]].
* Princess Fine and Princess Rein of ''[[Fushigiboshi no Futagohime]]'' (Twin Princesses of the Mysterious Star).
* Kyou and Ryou Fujibayashi of ''[[Clannad (visual novel)|Clannad]]'' are similar to Kagami and Tsukasa Hiiragi in that Ryou has [[Tareme Eyes]] and Kyou has [[Tsurime Eyes]]. Though they're more alike than most fraternal twins with similar colored hair and eyes {{spoiler|in the OVA for Kyou's route it takes Tomoya several minutes to realize that he's talking to Kyou and not Ryou after she cut her hair.}}
 
=== [[Comics]] ===
Line 114 ⟶ 115:
* Crystar and Moltar from ''[[Crystar Crystal Warrior]].''
* Northstar and Aurora from ''[[Alpha Flight]].''
* [[X-Men (Comic Book)|Charles Xavier and Cassandra Nova,]] although she apparently is [[Eldritch Abomination|not exactly human.]]
* [[Quicksilver (comics)|Quicksilver]] and [[Scarlet Witch]]: different genders, different hair colors, and different power sets.
 
=== [[Film]] ===
Line 149 ⟶ 150:
* {{spoiler|Kid and Sara}} from ''[[Ever 17]]'' are fraternal twins.
* For a series that's so out of touch with reality, you wouldn't expect ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' to feature realistic fraternal twins, but the heroes are, in fact, same-sex twins that look similar enough that they're clearly related, but different enough that they're easy to tell apart.
* Yuki Kudou and his bubbly idol obsessed "younger" sister Erika Kudou of the ''[[Chou Soku Henkei Gyrozetter]]'' 3DS game look nothing alike.
