Line 17:
* ''[[Hayate the Combat Butler]]'': While there's no mutual romance thus far, a lot of the [[Ship Tease]] during the latter half of the Athena arc pointed out (explicitly and implicitly) just how many similarities Nagi shared with Hayate's first love, Athena. One bit of cover art even featured the both of them put side by side, and they're both referred to in-story as golden-haired girls who saved him from despair by taking him on as a [[Battle Butler]]. Said arc culminated in absolutely brutal [[Ship Tease]] that threw shippers in a frenzy.

* Believing her half-brother and fiance<ref>That's how the Juraians roll.</ref> Yosho had died many centuries earlier, Princess Ayeka of ''[[Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki]]'' eventually transfers her affections to Yosho's descendant Tenchi. {{spoiler|(And does so so thoroughly that when she learns that Tenchi's aged grandfather is actually Yosho she has no interest in transferring them ''back''.)}}

* In their pre-[[The Avengers (Comic Book)|Avengers]] stories, this trope was in effect for Hank Pym ([[Ant-Man]]/Giant Man) and Janet van Dyne ([[The Wasp]]). Though she had a massive crush on him, she was both underaged at the time, and bore a disturbing (to him) resemblance to his recently-murdered wife. They eventually ended up hooking up anyway, and the resemblance issue was never mentioned again until after their divorce.
* In ''[[X-Men]],'' Scott falls for Madelyn shortly after Jean's death. They look so similar that he actually believes [[Doppelganger Replacement Love Interest|she's Jean's reincarnation]], though he eventually accepts them as different people. [[Played With]] when Jean [[Death Is Cheap|comes back from the dead]] and Scott abandons Madelyn, who is his wife by this point. And then it's revealed that Madelyn is [[Cloning Blues|actually a clone]].
* [[Affirmative Action Legacy|Miles Morales]]'s girlfriend has betrayed him and sold him out to Hydra! Does this mean he's finally going to suffer the life setbacks that being ''[[Spider-Man]]'' attracts for [[Creator's Pet|everyone but him]]? Nope! By the end of the arc he's got a new girlfriend and Hydra just stops caring that much about him.

* Rudy Mookich from ''[[Pinky and The Brain|Pinky, Elmyra and the Brain]]'' is a [[The Simpsons (animation)|Nelson Muntz]] [[Expy]] who replaced [[Rich Bitch|Montana Max]] as [[Tiny Toon Adventures|Elmyra Duff]]'s love interest. Danny Cooksey (Monty's voice actor) must have refused to do the spin-off.
** Cooksey was probably never asked in the first place. That whole show seemed determined to prove that ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]'' never existed.
