History EvilCounterpart / Fanworks

[[AC:Unsorted]]
* ''Fanfic/MortalKombatDesperation'': Raiden, the BigBad of this ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' fanfic, is one to Kotal Kahn. While both of them are their realms' respective rulers, Kotal Kahn wants to protect his realm from Raiden, who wants to merge it with Earthrealm so he could instigate a ApocalypseHow/ClassZ ApocalypseHow.
%%* The ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' trilogy ''The Styne Saga'' - ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11519886/1/Endangered-Styne-Saga-Part-1 Endangered]]'', ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11583009/1/Coercion-Styne-Saga-Part-2 Coercion]]'', and ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11801864/1/Dynasty-Styne-Saga-Part-3 Dynasty]]'' - expands on the Styne family seen in Season 10 to establish them as the evil counterparts to the Winchesters, as both families are defined by the supernatural - the Winchesters fighting it while the Stynes use it - but the Stynes have extremely warped ideas about the true nature of family, attempting to force Sam to side with them out of a warped 'love' for what they believe Sam could be and refusing to take responsibility for the deaths of those who are killed by the Winchesters rather than accept their own responsibility where the Winchesters blame themselves even for the deaths they couldn't predict. %%Commented out - all three stories have been deleted.
* ''Fanfic/TheTerminatorsArmyOfLegend'' has [[spoiler:Zack Dawson]], the primary antagonist of ''Volume V'', to series protagonist Alex Vaughn. Both were child soldiers (in the same army no less!) and both were best friends in their youth. As is evident in the book, however, Alex learned to cope and make the best of his dark history while [[spoiler:Zack]], unable to recuperate entirely from the event, became an almost complete inversion to his former comrade. His relationship with the ''Tartarus Unit''--tertiary antagonists of ''Volumes III'' and ''IV''--didn't help matters much either.
* ''Fanfic/WarriorsOfTheWorldSoldiersOfFortune'' has BigBad Argath Iruvedla being one to Knight Commander Valkron. Both are (or were, in Argath's case) in positions of authority, overseers appointed by their superiors. However, Valkron exploits his rank to save the lives of others and help people while Argath exploited his for his own dark motive of gaining as much power as he possibly could.
* ''WebAnimation/ZanyToTheMax'': The Zarner siblings, Takko, Jakko, and Zot started out as evil counterparts of Yakko, Wakko, and Dot. They first appeared in a parody of ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'', where they were created by WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain as part of a plot to TakeOverTheWorld. This was their only Season 1 appearance. Even though the Zarners started out this way, they've become less evil starting with their second appearance. They even made it into the theme song! (In Season 1, the 4th section started with "Meet [[AHeadAtEachEnd ZakKo]], [[BigEater Pakko]], [[AuthorAvatar Makko]], [[SuperSpeed Jot]], the [[ConjoinedTwins Yarners]], and [[InkSuitActor Coach Nurse]]." From Season 2 onward, it went "Meet the Warner cousins, Yarner Twins, the Zarners, and Coach Nurse.") By Season 3, the Zarners have become good friends of the Warners.

[[AC:''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'']]
* ''Fanfic/CalvinAndHobbesTheSeries'':
** Dr. Brainstorm and Calvin are both inventors, though while the former is a StupidEvil BunglingInventor CardCarryingVillain, the latter's inventions actually ''work'' most of the time.
** Likewise, Jack and the MTM are both [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]] [[DoAnythingRobot Do-Anything Robots]], though the latter is more faithful than the former.
** Brainstorm and Jack ''themselves'' have evil counterparts in the form of Thunderstorm and Shadow, who are one of the series' most competent villains.

[[AC:''Series/Charmed1998'']]
* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3562774/1/Once-and-Future-Witches Once and Future Witches]]'', the Charmed Ones eventually realise that their current threat seeks to form a new version of the Triad with a warlock and a darklighter, forcing them to create their own "good" Triad using Piper, Paige and Chris (Paige and Chris representing whitelighters and the Elders due to their parentage).

[[AC:Crossover]]

* ''Fanfic/EquestriaGirlsAFairlyOddFriendship'' (''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' & ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls''): [[spoiler:The Dazzlings are this for the Rainbooms. While the Rainbooms spied on Timmy, they did it to save him from ([[EntertaininglyWrong what they thought]] was) an evil form of magic. And they learned to care for Timmy beyond their mission; the Dazzlings only care about using him for magic. While the Rainbooms try and help Timmy grow as a person, the Dazzlings manipulate and bully him into doing what they want and are willing to destroy his life to do so]].
** [[spoiler:Aria is this to both Rainbow and Gilda. The latter two are tough girls who are not afraid to be aggressive to people who cross them, but under their rough exterior are kind people who are hard on Timmy because they want him to become a stronger person. While Aria may act as she cares for Timmy, she is really just a bully who wants to turn Timmy into a violent thug so she can use him for her own benefit]].
** [[spoiler:Sonata is this to Pinkie. They're both bubbly {{Cloudcuckoolander}}s, but unlike Pinkie, Sonata has no problem manipulating Timmy and hurting people to get what she wants.]]
** [[spoiler:Adagio to Sunset. They're both leaders of their groups and come from former positions of prestige, but where Sunset has had a HeelFaceTurn and is trying to be a better person, Adagio has not changed at all and is still obsessed with power at all costs.]]

* ''FanFic/KnightOfDeathAndRebirth'' (''Anime/CodeGeass'' & ''Monster Girl Encyclopedia''):

* With [[Series/TheBoys2019 Homelander]] having been deliberately created as [[CorruptedCharacterCopy an evil version]] of Franchise/{{Superman}}, various crossovers naturally explore this concept. One of the most straightforward is ''Fanfic/ASupeOfAMan'', depicting a reality where Kal-El's rocket landed on Earth and Clark is sponsored by Vought through his aunt, Mary Clark (the Kents needed her aid to legalize Clark's adoption). By the time Clark is a teenager, Vought recognizes that he's a far more stable individual than Homelander and potentially at least as powerful as him. When the two of them meet properly, they form a connection over feeling like the world around them is made out of cardboard. They also both resent their celebrity status and the public relations they perform as Supes under Vought but for different reasons: Clark because he's exhausted by the corruption and Homelander because he's not allowed to indulge in his evil whims.

[[AC:Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon]]

* ''Fanfic/NeitherABirdNorAPlaneItsDeku'' (Franchise/TheDCU & ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia''): In the spinoff series of shorts, [[ComicBook/DarkNightsMetal "Dark Steel: Kryptics"]] is designed to introduce a slew of these. The first is The Weaver from -Earth-2014.25, a twisted parody of "Izuku as Spider-Man" stories like ''Fanfic/AmazingFantasy'' where he becomes a genocidal maniac after being consumed by his latent resentment for Hero society.

* "[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11469133/1/Gargoyles-Modern-Day Gargoyles: Modern Day]]" features Xanatos's adopted daughter Willow become part of the Manhattan Clan. Her status as an honorary member becomes more significant during the events of "The Mirror"; after Puck returns the other humans in Manhattan to normal, he grants Willow the ability to become a gargoyle at will. This makes her a particular counterpart to Demona, as while Demona is a gargoyle who becomes human in the day, Willow is a human who can become a gargoyle whenever she wants, even able to transform during the day without turning to stone and with no pain.

[[AC:''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' / ''Franchise/KingKong'' / Franchise/MonsterVerse]]

* ''Fanfic/ForHisOwnSake'' has Chisato and Kagura, who serve as EvilerThanThou counterparts to the {{Spoiled Brat}}s Naru and Motoko:

** Kagura, meanwhile, hates men just for being male and loves uses false accusations as 'justification' for [[UnprovokedPervertPayback viciously attacking them]]. In the past, this has led to her flat-out [[spoiler:'''murdering''']] at least one innocent victim. Not only does she show absolutely no remorse for this, she continues to insist she was the one in the right -- and her father's lawyers kept her from dealing with the consequences. In a dark mirror of how Naru and Motoko get others to go along with their punishments of Keitaro, Kagura has even remained friends with the victim's sister, convincing her that it was just a 'tragic accident'.

* ''Fanfic/LiesOfAttrition'': There are [[MirrorCharacter many parallels]] between Chrysalis and Ladybug. Both use ExactWords to describe the final battle with Monarque and the death of Gabriel Agreste, each pushing [[UnreliableNarrator their preferred narrative of the story.]] Both are [[ConsummateLiar Consummate Liars]]. Both have an attachment to Chat Noir that goes beyond friendship (Marinette's dating Adrien, but as [[JerkassHasAPoint Argos points out]], she's [[TwoPersonLoveTriangle rather emotionally invested]] in someone she supposedly only sees as JustFriends. And Chrysalis has a full-blown VillainousCrush on him, while having initially had one on Adrien as Lila. And they both use the AffectionateNickname "Chaton" for him). However, Ladybug is ultimately only doing what she thinks is best, Chrysalis is [[ManipulativeBastard using]] Chat Noir for her own agenda.

* ''Webcomic/ScarletLady'': Nathalie serves as one for Adrien/Chat Noir. Both of them serve as the HypercompetentSidekick of an egotistical and self-serving bug-themed Miraculous wielder (Scarlet Lady for Chat Noir, Hawk Moth for Nathalie), but are on opposing sides of the law.

[[AC:''Franchise/MyLittlePony'']]

* ''Fanfic/TheLongEventide:'' Coming to the titular city-state of Eventide has the Mane Six meeting the inner circle of the location's shadow-rulers, the Umbral Society. Both are sextets of mares, consisting of two earth ponies, two unicorns, and two pegasi, with Chancellor Penumbra, their leader, having similar ThemeNaming to Twilight Sparkle. But while the Mane Six are a RagtagBandOfMisfits who became unlikely heroes, the inner circle are politically powerful mares with mysterious intentions.

* ''Fanfic/ThanksKyubey'' had Juubey as Kyubey's evil counterpart, by having Kyubey have actual emotions and being more forthcoming with information about Puella Magi, and having Juubey act like...well, the canon Kyubey. [[spoiler:Juubey got better.]]

* ''Fanfic/TheUnseenHunt'': After the first third of the story, Ruby[[spoiler:, who is revealed to be a Grimm that's on the heroes' side,]] loses her beloved sister Yang, while Cinder loses her Grimm mate Leviathan, and they both become fixated on getting revenge on the opposite moral alignment for taking the one being they loved more than any other away from them. The difference is that where Ruby is a huntress on the side of humanity [[spoiler:despite her nature]], Cinder is a hateful monster who wants to watch the human world burn and to destroy everything the heroes care about.

* ''Fanfic/YinAndYangSeries'': While not explicitly seen as such, Nikolai Kezanstav and Fuyuki Hinata are both occult-loving boys that met aliens.... only, it didn't ended well for the alien, on Nikolai's part.

* In ''Fanfic/CodeGeassThePreparedRebellion'', [[HateSink Tetsuya]] is basically a meaner, less moral version of [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Tamaki]].
* ''Fanfic/DungeonKeeperAmi'' has Mercury and Mukrezar - both are physically weak, but possess devastating magical skill, both conquered the Avatar islands, both are resourceful and cunning and use that to win rather than brute strength.
* In ''Fanfic/GodSlayingBladeWorks'', Mordred the Black Knight is one to Shirou Emiya. Mordred can perform a StormOfBlades attack that looks like a smaller scale version of Unlimited Blade Works. Mordred also reacts the same way Shirou does to being called a faker, by boasting that a copy can surpass the original.
* In ''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'' fic ''Fanfic/HellsisterTrilogy'', Satan Girl is Kara Zor-El's duplicate, created via exposure to Red Kryptonite. Literally the embodiment of Supergirl's dark side without a conscience to restrain it, she loves killing and destroying with no remorse.
-->"All I knew at the time was that I had a fainting spell," said Supergirl. "While I was out, the real Red K effect came through. The thing... it..." She fumbled for words, then burst out: "I was cloned! It cloned me, and the clone was, well, my evil side. My dark side. And it was just as real as... as real as me."
* ''Fanfic/HereThereBeMonsters'': Whereas [[ComicBook/{{Shazam}} the Marvels]] are empowered by benevolent gods, turn into classical models of beauty, and use their powers for good, Ibac and Sabbac struck a bargain with a diabolical entity, transform into hideous monsters and love causing death and destruction.
-->Both his and Sabbac's powers stemmed from the same diabolical source. Both of them had done deals with a fearsome and evil entity, and had been enabled to change into a new, more powerful, and more evil sort of being with the speaking of a word.\\
In a sense, they were evil Captain Marvels.
* ''Fanfic/HopeForTheHeartless'': [[SealedEvilInACan Arawn]] is the perfect antithesis of [[AllLovingHeroine Avalina]] and everything she represents. The Death Lord of Annuvin [[EnemyToAllLivingThings hates every living thing]] and is recognizable from the [[EvilIsDeathlyCold coldness his presence provides]], while the [[FriendToAllLivingThings animal-loving]] peasant girl has an [[FertileFeet extraordinarily strong aura of life]] that helps her in [[spoiler:turning [[{{Mordor}} a dead wasteland]] into a healthy econiche]]. Arawn was a [[EvilMentor key factor]] in regards to the [[VillainProtagonist Horned King]] becoming TheDreaded monster from ''WesternAnimation/TheBlackCauldron'', while [[MoralityPet Avalina]] is slowly turning the lich more humane.
* In ''Fanfic/HorseshoesAndHandGrenades'', Gentaro and Ryusei obtain dark States changes. Gentaro obtains [[spoiler:Void States for the defunct Cosmic States]], and Ryusei now has the [[spoiler:Meteor Impact States]] for Meteor Storm.
* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11499076/1/The-Last-Brony-Kingdom-Hearts-With-a-Black-Sora The Last Brony: Kingdom Hearts With a Black Sora]]'': Black Riku is this to Black Sora. Both are husbandos created by Vinyl Scratch, and thus have similar personalities because AllGirlsWantBadBoys. They also both have a [[WesternAnimation/PawPatrol pup]] [[NonHumanSidekick sidekick]] which they can use to do a FusionDance.
* In ''Fanfic/{{Legionnaire}}'', Springbok fancies himself this and a WorthyOpponent to Diplomatic Incident. Unfortunately for him, he's incompetent.
* ''Fanfic/MassEffectHumanRevolution'':
** Jules Leng is this to Adam. Both are BadassLongcoat-wearing augmented {{Number Two}}s to ambitious transhumanist executives, but while Adam always strives to do the right thing even at cost to himself, Jules has few qualms. Possibly none.
** Johnathan (sic) Scholar is this to David Sarif. Both are the aforementioned ambitious, jet-setting, smooth transhumanists, but Scholar is an utterly amoral monster, whereas Sarif had the best intentions for Adam and the world. Scholar makes an comparison in chapter 41.

* ''Fanfic/RacerAndTheGeek'' does an interesting take on this trope. Service in the Royal Guard or the Equestrian Royal Army, is considered highly honorable by the populace. However, those who do similar work in a private outfit are considered the lowest of the low. Regardless of the actual character of those involved, their actions and motives will be interpreted very differently depending on if they are a trooper or a contractor.

* The ''Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex'' fic ''Fanfic/TwistOfFate'' features a villain called Kurosawa, the Nightmare Witch, who has IKnowWhatYouFear powers and enjoys {{Mind Rap|e}}ing people until they die or go into comas. After Kurosawa is defeated, Misaki Shokuhou, a powerful telepath who could MindRape someone if she wanted to, points out that Kurosawa is basically a darker version of her.

* The Renegade timeline of ''Fanfic/WithThisRing'' contains a {{Crossover}} with ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePony'' that sees a fragment of the Anti-Life Equation merge with the Tantabus and spawn corrupted versions of the Elements of Harmony inside the protagonist's mind. For example, "Forsaken Vanguard" is a corruption of Loyalty: mindlessly obedient regardless of the merits or otherwise of his commander. "Twisted Caretaker", corruption of Kindness, wants to look after ponies who are hurt -- which means she wants to ''make ponies suffer'' so that they need her. "Spoiled Prince" is a corruption of Generosity who doesn't value anyone or anything.
-->'''Grayven:''' You're actually compatible with the Elements of Harmony, aren't you? You could make a run at the Tree.
* The ''ComicBook/XMen'' fic ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7730502/3/The_Wraith_Saga The Wraith Saga]]'' gives us The Wraith, an EldritchAbomination that is essentially the Yang to the Phoenix Force's Yin, representing Death, darkness and oblivion. Subverted, in that [[LightIsNotGood the Phoenix can also be extremely destructive in its own way]], but it's made clear that the Wraith potentially poses a much graver threat if it gets out of control.

[[AC:Dormant/Dead/Unsorted]]
* ''Fanfic/TheBlackSheepDogSeries'': Sirius and his cousin Bellatrix are frequently noted to share very similar temperaments: they possess a wild, rebellious streak and frank attitude that sticks out sore thumbs among their StiffUpperLip family. They both blatantly disregard the stiff formalities and norms of courtesy of their blue blood circle, and demonstrate a clear disdain towards their families even though they continue to carry the air of arrogance and entitlement that their noble status afford. But while Sirius is a JerkWithAHeartOfGold who refuse to let his loved ones come to harm despite his troublemaking tendencies, Bellatrix is a cruel and sadistic Death Eater who is willing to attack, torture and kill her enemies without batting an eyelid.

* ''Fanfic/TheManyDatesOfDannyFenton'': Vlad Masters to Sam Manson. Both of them were jealous when their love interests, Maddie and Danny Fenton respectively, found another significant other. Both of them have a problem taking responsibility for their actions and feel entitled and possessive to the object of their desire. However, the difference is that Sam genuinely loves Danny and cares about his feelings, while Vlad's love for Maddie is more about [[LovingAShadow loving the idea of ''having'' her]] and grows to an [[LoveMakesYouCrazy unhealthy]] [[LoveMakesYouEvil obsession]]. Also, when Sam damaged her friendship with Danny because she spied on his date with Kara, she ultimately felt guilty, while when Vlad damaged his relationship with Maddie because he confessed his love to her, he could not understand why she was disgusted with him for thinking that she should just leave Jack for him and how he really feels about Jack. Sam, even at her worst, refuses to hurt Kara to get Danny and was disgusted when Vlad actually offered her a deal to get rid of Kara, whereas Vlad always tries to kill Jack throughout the series so he can have Maddie for himself. Finally, Sam was able to accept Danny's relationship with Kara, repair her friendship with him (and even start to form one with Kara), become happy for the couple, and move on. Vlad never accepts Maddie's love for Jack and becomes a supervillain, permanently destroying his friendship with them.

* ''Fanfic/OnTheRun'' (''Film/TheFastAndTheFurious'' & ''Series/{{Smallville}}''): During the events depicted in ''Film/FastAndFuriousSix'' Roman again notes that Owen Shaw's group are basically the evil counterparts of their own team, with [[spoiler:Tess Mercer replacing Owen and the addition of the amnesic Chloe Sullivan and the actively-evil Davis Bloome to counter Letty and Clark]].

* In the ''Series/Charmed1998'' fanfic "[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3562774/1/Once-and-Future-Witches Once and Future Witches]]", the Charmed Ones eventually realise that their current threat seeks to form a new version of the Triad with a warlock and a darklighter, forcing them to create their own "good" Triad using Piper, Paige and Chris (Paige and Chris representing whitelighters and the Elders due to their parentage).

* ''Fanfic/ProfessorArc'': [[spoiler:Cinder]] becomes this to Jaune. Both of them, through deception and cunning, manage to sneak their way into Beacon. While Jaune indulges in self-serving goals, he ultimately has noble and lofty aims. [[spoiler: Cinder]] has self-servings goals, but ultimately not-noble aims. While Jaune, as a student counselor, helps his charges with their problems, Cinder plays mind games with them, toys with them for her own ends, [[spoiler: even willing to kill them in her gambit to claim power]].

* In ''Fanfic/HorseshoesAndHandGrenades'', Gentaro and Ryusei obtain dark States changes. Gentaro obtains [[spoiler: Void States for the defunct Cosmic States]], and Ryusei now has the [[spoiler: Meteor Impact States]] for Meteor Storm.
