Alternate Company Equivalent: Difference between revisions

* Aaron Williams's [[PS238]] is ''made'' of this trope, with elementary-school versions of Superman ("Captain Clarinet"), [[Green Lantern]] ("Emerald Gauntlet"), Batman ("Moonshadow"), [[Spawn]] ("Malphast"), Morpheus/Dream ("Murphy"), [[Plastic Man]] ("Polly Mer"), and Spider-Man ("The Flea").

* Nikolai Dante, from ''[[2000 AD|Two Thousand AD]]'', ran into versions of the [[Fantastic Four]] and [[Captain America]] in the "Amerika" arc.

* The relationship between DC's [[Green Arrow]] and [[Black Canary]] is mirrored in Marvel's [[Hawkeye]] [[The Avengers (Comic Book)|and Mockingbird.]] Their weapons and personalities are also all similar.

* DC has Amazo and Marvel has the Super-Adaptoid.

* ''[[Mega Man (video game)|Mega Man]]'' had an Alternate Company Case of Plagiarism in the Vic Tokai game ''The Krion Conquest'', though Capcom likely saw the title as not enough of a threat to their [[Cash Cow Franchise|juggernaut series]] to be bothered with a cease-and-desist.

* ''[[Adventure Island]]'' was literally Hudson Soft's version of Sega's ''[[Wonder Boy (video game)|Wonder Boy]]''. Due to a licensing loophole, Hudson was allowed to port ''Wonder Boy'' to the NES provided that they changed the name and character designs, since ''Wonder Boy'' developer Westone owned the rights to the actual game design and coding, while Sega only owned the name and characters. Both series went into different directions for their sequels though: while ''Adventure Island'' stuck to the original game's platformer format, the sequels to ''Wonder Boy'' adapted an Action RPG approach (with the exception of ''Monster Lair'', which was an auto-scrolling platformer/shoot-'em-up hybrid).

** Hudson's TurboGrafx CD [[Beat'Em Up]] ''Riot Zone'' was actually a remake of the Sega/Westone arcade game ''Riot City''.

* ''[[Play Station All Stars Battle Royale|Play Station All-Stars Battle Royale]]'' could be called Sony's answer to ''[[Super Smash Bros]]''.
