* In ''[[World of Warcraft]]'', the First Boss of ShadowMan (Skeram) (and his 5man protege in Arcatraz (Skyriss)) uses this ability, although there is a "real" one. Each of his copies must be separated, and the fake ones must be killed before they destroy the raid. The 5man version in Arcatraz only splits into 2, whereas the 40man version splits into 3.
** As of the latest expansion, Mage players can also perform their own [[Doppelganger Attack]] by summoning 3 to 4 copies of themselves able to cast basic spells.
** Multiboxers are players who play multiple accounts simultaneously by passing the keystrokes from their keyboard to multiple active [[Wo WWoW]] installs. When a player does this while playing mage characters, when they are glyphed for Mirror Image and get 4 dopplegangers of themselves, per character, this can be a completely overwhelming sight to see. 5 characters with 4 backups each = 25 total characters. When they all start spamming Frostbolt it looks like star wars. Bonus points if they're all gnomes with pink hair.
*** All of those spells are based on the Warcraft3 Blademaster's Mirror Image which summoned 3 clones of the caster. Those dealt no damage whatsoever and were mostly there to confuse the enemy, whereas in [[World of Warcraft]] mirror images typically do damage as well.
*** Jandice Barov of Scholomance is the champion of this trope as she summons no less than 15 illusions of herself midfight. Those deal damage, but TAKE NONE, it is imperative to find the real Jandice (her name is distinct from the images, so she can be found easily) and down her fast.
