** [[https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Ethan_Edwards_(Earth-616) Ethan Edwards]] is another Creator/MarvelComics sendup of Superman, a Skrull who was sent to Earth from his dying world, raised by a kindly couple in midwest America, became the star reporter of the Daily Bugle in his civilian identity ([[ClarkKenting which didn't]] [[SubvertedTrope last long]]) while becoming a [[NighInvulnerability Nigh-Invulnerable]] FlyingBrick in his costumed identity. Unfortunately, he's also a HotBlooded FailureHero who has a FreakOut when he discovers he's an alien. Spider-Man convinces him to keep using his powers for good, but he comes to believe destroying The Avengers, who lack Spider-Man at the time, is a good thing because Hercules {{kill|thegod}}ed a Skrull god to stop ''ComicBook/SecretInvasion2008''.

** [[Characters/SpiderManSpiderVerseTheSpot The Spot]] from ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse'' is one to ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}. Both are the result of science experiments gone awry, have a relationship with Spider-Man, walk a fine line between eccentric and crazy and can see beyond the scope of their worlds (Deadpool breaks the fourth wall, the Spot can access the Multiverse). While Deadpool has very loose morals, he's at least on friendly terms with Peter Parker, while the Spot demands to be taken seriously as an arch-enemy to Miles Morales.

** ''Film/ThorRagnarok'': Hela is in many ways an evil riff on [[Franchise/TolkiensLegendarium Galadriel]]. Like Galadriel she comes from a mighty and "divine" bloodline with her great power only rivalled by her brother (Finrod for Galadriel, Thor for Hela) and they both wield some powerful light/flame based artefact (the light of Eärendil's star and Eternal Flame respectively). Except while Galadriel is textbook LightIsGood, Hela is DarkIsEvil and provides an answer to "what if she took the Ring?" with Hela matching the "beautiful and terrible as the Morning and the Night!" description Galadriel gives to Frodo pretty well. All helped by the fact they're both played by the [[Creator/CateBlanchett same actress]].
** In ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'' we have Adrian Toomes a BadassNormal living a dual life dressing up [[Franchise/{{Batman}} at night as a winged creature and fights using gadgets and whom at some points is seen perching on rooftops or silhouetted by the moon]] and he's played by Creator/MichaelKeaton. Except rather than being a heroic billionaire vigilante like The Dark Knight, he's a greedy working class criminal and villain of the film.

* ''Film/{{Eternals}}'': [[spoiler: Ikaris is a flawed and antagonistic take off of ComicBook/{{Superman}}, being in many ways similar to the ''Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse'' Supes but with his DarkerAndEdgier traits taken to a greater extreme to the point of being an antagonist. Like Clark Ikaris is a FlyingBrick with EyeBeams who has a loyal dark haired wife and is by the most powerful member of their respective superpowered groups. However Ikaris flips Superman's role as Earth's protector on its head as he only safeguards Earth in order to make sure a Celestial can be birthed from it, destroying humanity in the process. Although he does have a HeelRealisation.]]
