Alternate Self: Difference between revisions

V should be before W

(V should be before W)
Line 71:
* The ''[[GURPS]] Infinite Worlds'' sourcebook has an over-the-top version of this, in which a large number of Alternate Selves of [[Lord Byron]] - including a sea captain, a republican revolutionary, a vampire, and a female vampire hunter - all meet each other.
* The ''Alternity Tangents'' sourcebook refers to these as 'Persistents,' or Persistent Individuals. While most parallel individuals don't vary too much, the backgrounds of some of these individuals can vary greatly, depending on the universe they live in, and within an infinite number of universes, there isn't necessarily any logic behind an individual being the head of a Fortune 500 company in one reality and be the night janitor of the same company the next reality over.
 
== Video Games ==
* Archer of ''[[Fate/stay night]]'' is this to {{spoiler|Emiya Shirou}}. He is only able to exist in the same era due to being summoned from outside of the timeline.
* In the video game ''[[Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions]]'', three of the four Spideys are alternate Peter Parkers.
* In a case where it applies to most of the characters, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'' has the ''[[Paper Mario (franchise)| Paper Mario]]'' version of the Mushroom Kingdom's denizens roaming around after being released from an magical book.
* In ''[[Honkai Impact 3rd]]'', some of the battlesuits actually are bubble universe versions of the characters rather than the main universe's version.

Line 91 ⟶ 97:
* In the ''[[Futurama]]'' episode "Farnsworth's Box", the characters travel to a whole slew of alternate universes in which they meet their appropriate counterparts. The universe they interact with the most, though, is defined by opposite coin flips, and differing hair colors.
* In "Spider-Wars", the two-part [[Grand Finale]] of ''[[Spider-Man: The Animated Series]]'', Spidey visited a parallel universe where a version of [[The Clone Saga]] had happened, and Ben Reilly/Scarlet Spider was fighting against Peter Parker/Spider-Carnage (I forget which of them was that universe's original Peter). He was assisted by various other alternate Spideys, including an arrogant armored Spidey from a world where Uncle Ben had never died, a Spidey who had Doc Ock style tentacles, and a Spidey who was still suffering from the mutation sickness from Season 2's "Neogenic Nightmare".
