** The [[Send in the Clones|Invasion]] arc introduced this concept very quickly, with many of the captains, vice-captains and a few of the highly seated officers that act at the vice-captain level being cloned by a [[Mad Scientist]]. They are stronger than the originals and much more aggressive... and often with quite a twisted outlook. |

* ''[[Saint Seiya]]'' has Gemini Saga and Gemini/Sea Dragon Kanon, each of them is the evil twin to the other in different parts of the story. The Black Saints not only shares the same armor as the protagonists except theirs is black but for unexplained reasons also share the exact same physical appearance as their good counterparts. This is all the most jarring in the case of the Black Phoenix mooks that come in mass and all look exactly the same, that is to say like the main Phoenix. All the attacks of the evil counterparts also are reminiscent of the good ones albeit more evil. For example the attack of Black Pegasus, Ankoku Ryu Sei Ken, is similar to the Ryu Sei Ken of the main Pegasus except it slowly contaminates its victims eventually making them suffocate to death. Likewise, the Black Andromeda's attack has its chains turning into snakes feeding on the victim's blood. |

* While not an actual twin, Tullece, from the third ''[[Dragonball Z]]'' [[Non-Serial Movie|movie]] (''Tree of Might''), looks and (in the original Japanese, where he was voiced by [[Masako Nozawa]]) sounds just like Goku. His goals are slightly more sophisticated versions of what Goku likes to do: enjoy fine foods and engage in battles. It's possible he was meant to represent what Goku would have grown up to be like had it not been for Grandpa Gohan. |

* Inverted in [[The DCU]] comic series ''Kobra'', whose eponymous [[Villain Protagonist]] ''was'' the Evil Twin. His wicked schemes were always foiled by his Good Twin, from whom he'd been separated at birth. Shortly after the series was canceled, Kobra killed off his twin. Recently, however, Kobra himself was [[Killed Off for Real]] by a rogue superhero, and his minions have resurrected the good twin, brainwashed him to become evil, and made him the new Kobra. |

* ''[[Knight Rider]]'', a show with only three regular human characters, featured four evil twins; KITT, whose prototype KARR appeared in "Trust Doesn't Rust" and "KITT vs KARR", Michael, whose surgically reconstructed face was revealed to be based on the long-lost Garth in "Goliath" and "Goliath Returns", Bonnie has an imposter wearing a [[Latex Perfection]] disguise in "KITTnapped", and Devon, who had a surgically reconstructed duplicate in "Knight of the Juggernaut". A script commissioned but never produced was to introduce yet another "evil twin", Devon's unscrupulous, though not actually evil, twin brother. |

* ''[[Malcolm in the Middle]]'' had a hilarious inversion. Dewey is finding people who are just giving him money for no reason. At first he doesn't question it, but Reese finds out that there's another kid who looks just like Dewey. He then [[Genre Savvy|surmises]] that for every person there is an evil opposite. When Dewey is worried that he's met his evil twin, Reese points out the kid is virtually a saint and that Dewey is the [[Evil Twin]]. Reese then recruits Dewey to do a lot of bad things and get the other kid blamed, but by the end of the episode, Dewey tells the other kid's older brother on what's going on and gets Reese beaten up. |
