* In ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'', the medieval warlord [http://sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/19980924 Lord Torgamous] looks exactly like modern day Torg (except for the beard).
** [[Subverted]] another time (perhaps also hinting at [[Identical Grandson]]). [http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/20011125\]

* ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'': Diane is physically identical to Susan. The two are distinguishable only by hair color<ref>Susan ''used'' to dye hers dark blue, being a natural blonde just like Diane, until magical shenanigans made her hair permanently the same shade as her hair dye.</ref> and fashion sense. Despite this it appears that they have never met. Considering the amount of lampshade hanging around this one, as well as the fact that we know of at least one way for this to be perfectly possible (not counting [//egscomics.com/comic/2013-05-13 identical twins separated at birth]), this is probably going to become important later. Also, they turned out to have the same magical affinity, which ''is'' [[In the Blood|tied to bloodlines]]. Though Mr. Verres [//egscomics.com/comic/2016-08-29 insists] they are not twins, but even he couldn't trace Diane's true relatives discreetly. The hypothesis most popular [[In-Universe]] (except [[Berserk Button|with Susan herself]]) is "half sisters": what caused her… "issues" in the first place was Susan's father cheating on her mother, so who can tell how long back it goes? Later {{spoiler|their common ancestor was identified}}, but she still may turn out Alternate Universe Susan or something.
** Despite this, they have never met until their friends began to openly mention the fact. From [//egscomics.com/comic/2007-10-13 the moment] it's pointed out first to [//egscomics.com/comic/party-019 the moment] when Justin sees it, those who know them both are rather shocked or confused by the "idea of connecting someone who dresses like that to Susan" (or [//egscomics.com/comic/2013-08-19 makes] [[Puppy Dog Eyes]]). Though other details were [//egscomics.com/comic/2017-10-25 shocking] for them, too. When told about it, they both wanted to meet, but had [//egscomics.com/comic/2017-09-04 anxiety attacks].
* ''[[Nedroid]]'': Over the course of the ongoing [[A Day in the Limelight|Harrison Stories]] arc Harrison comes across two creatures underground who look exactly like his friends [http://nedroidcomics.livejournal.com/253869.html Beartato and Reginald] only to find out that they're Buttfranklin Buttwhistle and...His friend Reginald who's a little insulted Harrison didn't recognize him
** During an earlier arc Beartato [[It Makes Sense in Context|jumps into outer space]] and encounters an alien who looks exactly like his friend Reginald with a pair of antenna. It's then subverted when Space Reginald [http://nedroidcomics.livejournal.com/242619.html wipes some dirt off his face] and [http://nedroidcomics.livejournal.com/242873.html crawls out of the crater] he's standing in, revealing himself to be [[Nightmare Fuel|quite different]] from regular Reginald
Line 234 ⟶ 235:
* [[Akuma TH]] has the "Superhero" Mathman, who looks like the title character [[Clark Kenting|in a cape and a not particularly concealing mask]]. ''Everybody'' who sees Mathman assumes that he's actually Akuma, and neither of them is particularly convincing when denying it. However, the third annual World Spriter's Tournament showed that they were, in fact, separate people.
* ''[[Off White]]:'' A wolf pelt that looks like Iki except with orange eyes instead of blue.
