* ''[[City of Heroes]]'' hashad the "Praetorians", evil world-conquering versions of the "normal" world's main heroes. Of course, it's up to the player character(s) to defeat them and ensure that they don't extend their conquests to other worlds.
** They have a Greek name, and Tyrant wears Greek-style armor, because of a legendary [[Real Life]] incident: when told of the existence of [[Alternate Universe|alternate universes]], Alexander the Great wept: "So many worlds, and we have not yet conquered one."
*** Also as a foil to the heroic Freedom Phalanx.
** The expansion ''Going Rogue'' (not to be confused with Sarah Palin's book) looks to be giving them a [[Retcon]] into more 'Justice Lords' than 'Crime Syndicate', there incidentally there is also a [[The Syndicate|Syndicate]] in Praetorian Earth. There's also good versions of several villain groups; the [[Circus of Fear|soul-stealing Carnival of Shadows]] are the heroic Carnival of Light, and [[La Résistance|the Resistance]] seem to be based on [[Cyberpunk|the Freakshow]].
** Other confirmed "opposites" include:
*** Counterpart to Clockwork King {{spoiler|is Metronome, who is a disembodied psychic entity.}}
*** Counterpart to Ghost Widow, {{spoiler|is Belladona, who is still alive and a member of the Resistance.}}
*** Counterpart to Nemesis, ''the'' [[Magnificent Bastard]], is an apparent nobody
*** Counterpart to Odysseus, leader of the Warriors, is a trainer in the Underground.
Line 140:
** [[The Legend of Zelda Oracle Games|Oracle of Ages/Seasons]] basically take place within two different universes that are mirror universes of each other. Subverted when you play one game with the code you get from another, where {{spoiler|some people from Labrynna are in Holodrum and vice versa}}, depending on which game you play second.
* Many team vs. team combat games and multiplayer RTS/turn-based strategy games implicitly use this for the sake of fairness; both teams will have access to identical characters who fight in levels that are the same on each team's side. [[Color Coded for Your Convenience|Color-coding]] or something else that doesn't affect gameplay distinguishes the two "worlds."
