* Archie Comics' ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (comics)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' comic has a Mirror Universe, called variously "The Reverse Universe", "Anti-Mobius", and "Moebius". In it Dr. Robotnik/Kintobor is a [[Kindly Vet]], while the Freedom Fighters fight against freedom, having overthrown the previous monarch. The <s> Anti-Freedom Fighters</s> Suppression Squad all dress in black leather, and acted like a bunch of juvenile delinquents until Anti-Sonic became "Scourge" and conquered Moebius.
** The interference from the heroes' world has caused the parallels to break down a bit; Scourge has been turned green, and hooked up with [[Face Heel Turn|Fiona FOX]] for a while, Anti-Bunnie has pulled a [[Heel Face Turn]] and wears [[Powered Armour|Omega Armor]] instead of being a [[Cyborg]] (anti-Rotor is the cyborg) and anti-Antoine briefly posed as his good counterpart. Basically the [[Status Quo Is God|status quo]] for the mirror world gets altered more often than the main one. Oh, and [[The Starscream|Miles Prower]] even has [[Beard of Evil|the goatee]].
* Subversion: In [[Phil Foglio]]'s short story "[https://web.archive.org/web/20130910040235/http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/stories/HBstory/HBstory.php Work Ethic]" found in ''[[Grimjack]]'' #40, heroes from a world in which there is only pure good and pure evil (and the heroes always win), get transported to Grimjack's world, which has a more realistically varied moral spectrum. Thus, since they see that everything is not purely good, they begin to destroy the entire town of Cynosure until Cynosure's protector sends them back to their own dimension. (Incidentally, these heroes, the Heterodyne Boys, later became the inspiration for ''[[Girl Genius]]''.)
** Similarly, in ''[[JLA-Avengers]]'', the League, seeing the many imperfections of the [[Marvel Universe]], conclude that it's the Evil Universe. [[The Avengers (Comic Book)|The Avengers]], seeing statues and museums to the heroes everywhere in the [[DC Universe]], conclude the exact same thing (they think the DC heroes have set themselves as gods).
* ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass]]'', where the Heroic Decepticons are fighting to protect Earth and Cybertron from the powermongering of the Evil Autobots. "Till All are Gone..."

* In [https://web.archive.org/web/20090429014005/http://www.qwantz.com/archive/000035.html this strip] of ''[[Dinosaur Comics]]'', where every comic is the same six images every time, an early story arc involves a mirror universe that is the same six panels... mirrored. Also, every character has goatees.
* [[Irregular Webcomic]]'s "Cliffhangers" theme had [http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/235.html a visit] by an alternate Kolonel Haken from a mirror universe where the Nazis were good and Monty were evil. Eventually he was killed in single combat by the main-universe Haken, so the only good Nazi was a dead Nazi.
** Following the history reboot, there have been [http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/2470.html two] [http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/2477.html forays] to the evil mirror universe. Thus far, the only visible differences are the [[Beard of Evil|beards]], the arrangement of the panels, and Dr Jones Sr.'s dislike of sausages and avoidence of [http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/2482.html puns].
