Line 48:
** Taijutsu specialists face off when [[Incurable Cough of Death|sick and dying]] yet still unbeatable Kimimaro meets still-recovering miniature [[Bruce Lee Clone]] Rock Lee.
** Then the series proceeds to set Sasuke himself up as Naruto's very own Psycho Ranger. Right up to the point where Naruto and his charming spiritual freeloader start to psycho back...
* ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' had a set of these guys in most seasons (in order of appearance: Shittenou, Ayakashi Sisters, Witches 5, Amazones Quartet and Amazon Trio). Each of these groups was made up of [[ColourColor-Coded for Your Convenience|colour-coded]] and power-coded [[Evil Counterpart|evil counterparts]] of the Four Guardians (Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako). In the manga, the Witches 5 were even resurrected ''just'' to kill the senshi they copied!
** Classic Sailor Moon: The Shittenou. Jaedite - Mars, Nephrite - Jupiter, Zoicite - Mercury, Kunzite - Venus.
** Sailor Moon R / Black Moon: The Ayakashi Sisters. Kooan - Mars, Berthier - Mercury, Petz - Jupiter, Calaveras - Venus.
Line 220:
** Sync is actually Guy's counterpart, although this is more by virtue of everyone else being taken than anything else.
*** Storywise, there is a time when Sync and Guy conterpart each other, when Sync puts the curse mark on Guy.
* The Cocytus members in ''[[Wild ArmsARMs 2]]'' are three-fifths of the way there - Brad and Ptolomea as [[Mighty Glacier|ex-military heavies]], Tim and [[She's a Man In Japan|Caina]] as underage summoners, Lilka and Antenora as [[Black Magician Girl|more traditional, more female fireball-slingers]] - but the other two in each group don't quite fit, since [[Broken Bird|Kanon]] has a very different feel than [[Psychopathic Manchild|Judecca]], and enemy leader Vinsfield is an obvious [[Evil Counterpart]] for the PCs' [[Mission Control]], Irving.
** Don't forget the villains of [[Wild ArmsARMs]] 5. Everyone has a rival character that acts as an opposite to them. Light-hearted and idealistic leader Dean has the defeated dog of the villains Nightburn, [[The Chick]] Rebecca ends up rivals with [[Dark Chick]] Persephone, family man Greg fights his family's killer and [[Ax Crazy]] Kartikeya, Avril has story reasons for rivaling dark leader Volsung, small but heavily armed Carol fights against her former caregiver and muscular Elvis and Chuck rivals the surprisingly noble Fereydoon.
* The Praetorians in ''[[City of Heroes]]'' are the [[Mirror Universe|evil other-universe]] counterparts of the Freedom Corps heroes.
** The first of the new Positron Task Forces introduced in Issue 17: Dark Mirror, feature a team of "[[Evil Knockoff|shadow simulacra]]" of the [[Player Party]]. Issue 17 in general revolves around doubles of the [[Player Character]].
Line 279:
** In the [[Grand Finale]], when the Legion of Doom and the Justice League were about to come to blows, there was an excellent shot of everybody facing off with their [[Evil Counterpart]]: Green Lantern vs. Sinestro, Superman vs. Bizarro, Atomic Skull vs. [[Captain Atom]], Giganta vs. Iron Giant, Volcana vs. Fire...and Batman standing alone, since nobody is cool enough to beat Batman.
*** or because of the Bat embargo, none of his rogue's gallery could appear.
* ''[[Sixteen|6teen]]'' has a darker [[Six-Student Clique]] that are friends of [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis|Tricia's]] that tried to take over their favorite lunch spot.
* ''[[Re Boot]]'' featured a game where the heroes had to fight game sprite copies of themselves in the final level.
* Clones of the protagonists from ''[[Gargoyles]]''. Subverted in that only Goliath's clone [[Sdrawkcab Name|Thailog]] was actually evil. But they did have the same fighting their doubles problem.
