Shadow Archetype: Difference between revisions

** The best example may be Bane, trained to physical perfection? Check. Genius-level intellect? Check. Lack of parents in his formative years? Check. [[Papa Wolf]] tendencies? Just ask [[Secret Six|Scandal]].

* Two good examples from the [[X-Men]] comics. Sabertooth is what Wolverine would be like if he ever fully embraced his berserker side. Cassandra Nova is almost literally Prof. X's shadow archetype, being his evil twin that was killed before birth.

** It's also in this same series that Batman is established as the clearly defined opposite of Superman, the pair taking roles previously held by Hades and Apollo.

* The Sentry and his nemesis/other-half, the Void are a pretty literal example given the Void's appearance and the nature of their relationship.
