* In ''WesternAnimation/NextAvengersHeroesOfTomorrow,'' Thor's successor is his daughter, Torunn. {{Inverted|Trope}} with Pym, who becomes a male Wasp rather than succeeding his father as Giant-Man.

* The TV side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe includes its share as well:
** ''Series/TheFalconAndTheWinterSoldier'' takes one of the examples from ''Film/AvengersEndgame'' and ends up deconstructing the trope with it, in that the "Affirmative Action" part ends up complicating things immensely. [[spoiler:The title of "Captain America" is [[CaptainPatriotic a major national symbol]]. How can a black man symbolize a country that has mistreated its black citizens for hundreds of years, and continues to do so? Sam starts the series deciding that he ''can't'', only for the government to turn around and give the identity to a white man instead. At the end of the season however, after said white guy goes off the deep end and Sam learns about the history of black super-soldiers in America and decides that it wouldn't be right to stop fighting for what's right despite all the injustices that happened to black people, he becomes Captain America instead and embraces the mantle.]]
** ''Series/Hawkeye2021'' sees Clint Barton starting up a friendship and mentorship of Kate Bishop, though it's not clear at the end if she's actively serving as a superhero now or if she's using his codename while doing so.
** Averted in ''Series/MsMarvel2022'', as while we still have a Pakistani-American girl following after a white woman; the actual "legacy" aspect of the comics is AdaptedOut. In the comics, Kamala Khan chose "Ms. Marvel" as a codename in honor of Carol Danvers, who had once gone by that title before becoming Captain Marvel. In this continuity, Carol had always been "Captain" and Kamala's name is presented as a case of StevenUlyssesPerhero instead since "marvel" is a valid translation of "kamal" in Urdu -- Kamala is certainly willing to exploit the similarity to her idol, but she's not actively setting herself up as Carol's successor.
** ''Series/SheHulkAttorneyAtLaw'': Bruce's cousin Jennifer gains his powers, though Bruce isn't going anywhere and she's continuing her own legal career rather than get involved in crimefighting the way he does. This doesn't stop some in-universe misogynists from whining about another woman "stealing" a hero's title from its original male owner (they're also heard complaining about "Lady Thor").

** The third volume of ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan introduced thirteen-year-old [[Characters/MarvelComicsMilesMorales Miles Morales]], of Latino and African-American heritage, who took up the mantle of ComicBook/SpiderMan. This was justified by the writers, who pointed out that if Spider-Man had debuted today as a young working-class hero from Queens, it would be a much more accurate reflection of the borough's present-day ethnic makeup for him to be a person of color, compared to the early 1960's when Peter Parker debuted.

** Creator/GregRucka's run featured the Punisher recruiting a young woman named Rachel Cole-Alves as his DistaffCounterpart. The series ended with Frank in jail and Rachel taking his place as the new Punisher. Unfortunately, this plot point was abandoned, and Frank soon returned as the Punisher. In a case of TheBusCameBack, however, Rachel returned post-''ComicBook/SecretEmpire'' as one of the heroes Frank and ComicBook/BlackWidow recruit to help take down ComicBook/BaronZemo.
