History EvilCounterpart / Fanworks

* ''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.
* ''FanFic/FalloutEquestria'' has Lilpip and Red Eye. Both are Stable Dwellers that wish to make Equestria like, or better than what it was before the Great War. They also both represent one of the Elements of Harmony when corrupted.

* ''FanFic/KnightOfDeathAndRebirth'' has several:

* ''FanFic/ToKillAThief'' has [[Manga/DeathNote Light Yagami]] to [[Manga/PhantomThiefJeanne Miyako Toudaiji]].

* ''FanFic/ClashOfTheElements'': In part 2's finale, Chaos Alex is this to Alex Whiter. Though this is actually {{Inverted|Trope}} from Chaos Alex's point of view, for he thinks the real Alex is the evil half. Also, the Sin Samurais to the Genesis Samurais.
* Eridan ends up becoming this to Nepeta in ''FanFic/HerdingCats''. Where Nepeta ships her fellow trolls in redrom, Eridan does so in [[SlapSlapKiss blackrom]].

* ''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.
* ''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 [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica canon Kyubey]]. [[spoiler: Juubey got better.]]
* ''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.

* In ''FanFic/{{Horseshoes and Hand Grenades}}'', 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.
* ''FanFic/ForHisOwnSake'' has Chisato and Kagura, who serve as EvilerThanThou counterparts to the {{Spoiled Brat}}s Naru and Mokoto:

* Creator/HidekazHimaruya once created DarkerAndEdgier alternative concept art for several ''Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia'' characters. The fans have built on these drawings to create the immensely popular 2p!Hetalia characters, all of whom have personalities directly opposite to their canon counterparts. For instance, 2p!Britain is depicted as being good at cooking and either always upbeat, but [[StepfordSmiler seriously]] [[ImAHumanitarian unhinged]] as well. Save for the aforementioned official artwork, the 2p!Hetalia characters are completely fanon.

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

* ''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]].

* ''Fanfic/JauneArcLordOfHunger'': [[VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic Darth Nihilus]] is an evil counterpart to [[WebAnimation/{{RWBY}} Ozma]]. Both are ReallySevenHundredYearsOld, possess others, [[SuperEmpowering grant magic powers to their hosts]], and slowly [[SplitPersonalityMerge overwrite]] their hosts' memories and personalities with their own. However, neither Ozma nor his hosts have any have choice in the matter. Nihilus, on the other hand, requires his hosts to willingly put on his mask in order for him to possess them. While Ozma is benevolent and influences his hosts to help humanity, Nihilus seeks to consume all life and corrupts his hosts into using the Dark Side to harm others. This is lampshaded by Qrow, who dubs Jaune as "nega-Ozpin" upon learning of his situation.

* ''FanFic/ToKillAThief'' has [[Manga/DeathNote Light Yagami]] to [[Manga/KamikazeKaitouJeanne Miyako Toudaiji]].

* [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/50266/Kimberly-T Kimberly-T]]'s ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' fanfics create a good counterpart to the anti-Gargoyle Quarrymen in the People for Interspecies Tolerance; where they were a two-scene wonder at best in the show, here they are clearly explored as a group actively working to protect and befriend gargoyles just because it's the right thing to do, with no agenda or ulterior motive; Macbeth gave them some financial assistance to get off the ground, but the actual idea was all the members' own,

* 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.

* ''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 ClassZ ApocalypseHow.

* ''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]].

* ''Fanfic/HopeForTheHeartless'': [[SealedEvilInACan Arawn]] is the perfect opposite 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.

* ''Fanfic/OldWest'': Benjamin Hares, the estranged [[ConMan con artist]] husband of [[DeterminedHomesteader Grace Glossy]], is this to Sheriff Rango. They're both cowardly, have a tendency to get into trouble, and aren't above bluffing to get out. This fits their species because Rango is a chameleon while Benjamin is a gopher snake, a species that mimics rattlesnakes to ward off predators. However, while Rango cares for people and [[CowardlyLion means to do the right thing despite his vices]], Benjamin [[ItsAllAboutMe cares only about himself]] and [[DirtyCoward his own safety]]. The climax has Rango doing something that symbolically proves his moral superiority over Hares: he [[spoiler:jumps [[TakingTheBullet in the way of the bullet]] the BigBad aims at Benjamin's wife and son]], something the [[spoiler:by then dead]] Hares wouldn't have likely done.

* [[EvilAllAlong Prince Jewelius]], the BigBad of ''Fanfic/LovedAndLost'', an extended retelling of [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic "A Canterlot Wedding"]], is this to Twilight Sparkle as well as her LoveInterestTraitor. Both young unicorns are inquisitive, charismatic, closely connected to Equestria's ruling royalty, and they have a purple color motif as well as a reliable assistant[[note]]Spike to Twilight and Vivian to Jewelius[[/note]]. However, while the sociopathic Jewelius is capable of [[BitchInSheepsClothing feigning kindness and nobility]], it's not authentic like with Twilight, and unlike her, he gathers knowledge and makes acquaintances [[ItsAllAboutMe solely for his own benefit]]. They both used to play as foals with Princess Cadance who treated both of them like they were her younger siblings. Twilight is mistaken to be a GreenEyedMonster in regards to Cadance as per canon, but it's actually Jewelius who holds extreme hatred toward Cadance just because of her popularity. Twilight [[UndyingLoyalty adores Cadance (the real deal, that is) to the point that Jewelius is unable to destroy the high esteem Twilight holds in regards to her]] even though he manages to [[CorruptTheCutie corrupt her into disowning her brother, mentor and friends]]. Jewelius hates his cousin Cadance and aunt Celestia because he feels they've wronged him by being more loved than him, overthrows them [[LetNoCrisisGoToWaste by using the Changeling invasion]] [[spoiler:he himself started, tries to murder them both]], and delusionally believes his tyrannical reign is superior to Celestia's. After [[EtTuBrute the falling out Twilight has with her brother, mentor and friends at the wedding rehearsal]], Jewelius manipulates her into thinking they've taken advantage of her all along, and she refuses to trust them as they [[MustMakeAmends try to get through to her]] and [[CassandraTruth warn her about Jewelius' true nature]]. However, Twilight gradually stops holding a grudge against her loved ones, forsaking the exaggerated feelings of victimhood in favour of reconciling with them. Jewelius in turn [[RedemptionRejection refuses to abandon his own delusions of supremacy or take up the chances of reconciliation the family members he has betrayed offer him]].

** Roman was once a bright-eyed hunter-in-training and leader of his team like Ruby. After he was unjustly kicked out of Beacon and arrested for a crime he didn't commit, he lost his way. While in jail, Roman was asked to be involved in a crime and that's how he got involved with th illegal dust trade.
