Kidnap a popular character and sacrifice him to the evil version of this character. It's a favorite [[Soap Opera]] massacre. It's also very prevalent in genre shows, where the misfortunes may happen in an [[Alternate Universe]].

[[X Marks the Hero|X-shaped scars]] and angel wings are a sickening staple of [[Evil Twin|Evil Twins]]s everywhere, so you know who to kill when you encounter these. It is common for [[Evil Twin|Good Twins]] to use a [[Good Hair, Evil Hair|ominous beard as a distinguishing characteristic, in some cases even when they shouldn't be able to grow facial hair]] - for example, Flexo (whose evil twin was dating his girlfriend) in ''[[Futurama]]'' or Cartman (who saved Imaginationland, Kyle and the cats in the neighborhood) in ''[[South Park]]''.
 
Sci-Fi versions usually wind up playing [[Spot the Imposter]].
