* ''ComicBook/StarWarsDarthVader'' takes Darth Vader's status as Luke Skywalker's EvilCounterpart even further, by having Vader assemble a motley crew of personal minions who all serve as {{Evil Counterpart}}s to Luke's companions from the Original Trilogy in varying ways. When the cloak-and-dagger politics in the Imperial military get to be too much for Vader, he decides that it's time to turn to personal companions who work independently of the Empire's officers. To elaborate:
** BT-1 and 000 ("Triple Zero") are a pair of deadly assassin droids who serve as evil versions of R2-D2 and C-3PO. BT-1 is disguised as an astromech droid, and can only speak in beeps and whistles, but he also packs a deadly laser cannon and a flamethrower. Similarly, Triple Zero is a psychotic protocol droid who serves Vader as a TortureTechnician and a personal translator; he's just as polite and genteel as Threepio, but he turns out to be FauxAffablyEvil, with his good manners concealing a frightening sadism and bloodlust.
** Doctor Aphra is a bubbly female AdventurerArchaeologist who serves--in a roundabout way--as an evil version of Han Solo. She's modeled on [[Franchise/IndianaJones Harrison Ford's second most famous character]], as made clear in her introduction (where she steals an ancient weapon from an abandoned temple, has her [[TheRival rival]] steal it from her, and angrily shouts "It belongs in an armory!").[[note]] Her name even subtly hints at this: "Doctor Aphra" sounds like it could be short for "Doctor Aphrodite", referencing the famous true crime writer "Aphrodite Jones", as well as Indy's common epithet "Doctor Jones"[[/note]] Like Han, she becomes one of Vader's chief companions after he hires her for a one-off job. And her dynamic with Vader--as an enthusiastic young adventurer paired with an older, quieter, stoic veteran--clearly parallels Luke's dynamic with Han.
** Black Krrsantan is a brutal Wookiee warrior who serves as an evil version of Chewbacca. Instead of scratching out a semi-honorable living as a smuggler, he's a remorseless bounty hunter who will kill ''anyone'' for the right price, he makes money on the side as a pit fighter, and he has [[GoodScarsEvilScars a fearsome scar over his eye]] to make his moral alignment clear. Appropriately enough, he's introduced as a partner of Boba Fett--Han Solo's nemesis.

Like what applied to Todd to an extent, Gideon and Scott are pretty opposite in terms of social influence, as Gideon is a successful multi-millionaire mogul who's admired by almost everybody, while Scott is seen as a lovable loser unable to make a living for a good time since he left college. Both also have prominent combat experience, with Scott having the title of the best fighter in Ontario and Gideon [[spoiler:inventing the Glow for military purposes]]. However, they're much the same on a personal level. Both live in their own heads and are unaware of their misdeeds (although in Scott's defense, he never explicitly denied doing anything wrong nor does he blame anyone for what happened. There's also the fact that Gideon [[spoiler:tampered with his memories]]), weren't the best boyfriends, and made some bad decisions that led them to screw over people who cared about them (yet Scott's was the result of cluelessness, lack of thinking and a bit of circumstance, while Gideon is implied to be wholly responsible). Whereas Scott is willing to change all of these things to become a better person, Gideon does not. Ultimately, Gideon is much worse than Scott, and Scott's realization that they are alike in ways allows him to earn a sword known as "the Power of Understanding" during their fight in the series' final volume.

** Gideon Graves is a less direct but more pronounced example. Like what applied to Todd to an extent, Gideon and Scott are pretty opposite in terms of social influence, as Gideon is a successful multi-millionaire mogul who's admired by almost everybody, while Scott is seen as a lovable loser unable to make a living for a good time since he left college. Both They also have prominent combat experience, experience in different aspects, with Scott having the title of the best fighter in Ontario and Gideon [[spoiler:inventing the Glow for military purposes]]. However, they're much the same on a personal level. Both live in their own heads and are unaware of their misdeeds (although in Scott's defense, he never explicitly denied doing anything wrong nor does he blame anyone for what happened. There's also the fact that Gideon [[spoiler:tampered with his memories]]), weren't the best boyfriends, and made some bad decisions that led them to screw over people who cared about them (yet Scott's was the result of cluelessness, lack of thinking and a bit of circumstance, while Gideon is implied to be wholly responsible). Whereas Scott is willing to change all of these things to become a better person, Gideon does not. Ultimately, Gideon is much worse than Scott, and Scott's realization that they are alike in ways allows him to earn a sword known as "the Power of Understanding" during their fight in the series' final volume.

** Todd Ingram has a similarly structured name to Scott, and much like him is the bass player of a three-member band (though Todd is [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter more competent overall]] and is part of a band that recently rose to fame, unlike Scott's struggling local band). Todd is currently dating Scott's first ex-girlfriend Envy Adams (in fact, Envy dated Todd specifically because he looked like a taller, muscular version of Scott, aside from their status as childhood friends), and used to date Scott's current girlfriend Ramona Flowers; and he's eventually revealed to have been two-timing Envy with their band's drummer, similar to how Scott two-timed his last ex-girlfriend Knives Chau with Ramona for a while after he began dating the latter. The parallels end there, as in terms of personality, Todd is absolutely nothing like Scott, being a perpetual {{Jerkass}} who wants to get away with whatever morally questionable or reprehensible acts he does (justifying it with [[ScrewTheRulesImFamous his reputation as a rockstar]]), and a serial cheater who gets into romantic relationships for the sake of it (unlike Scott's genuine care, even if he also cheated at least once). The former ends up biting into him when the PsychicPowers he had from following a vegan diet (which allowed him to [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomp]] Scott whenever they fought beforehand) are revoked from him by the Vegan Police for not caring about repeatedly breaking the diet, giving Scott the chance to defeat him once and for all.
