This causes Lotso to snap and completely lose his faith in people.

*** And of course, Sid was Andy's evil counterpart.
* Chick Hicks, the main villain of ''WesternAnimation/{{Cars}}'' (also by Pixar) is actually the evil counterpart to Lightning [=McQueen=]. Both are actually portrayed as mean and arrogant racecars who cared about nothing but themselves and made fun of other cars. What makes them different is that at the end of the film, [=McQueen=] ends up losing the final race but is now respected by the other cars since he actually now learned to accept defeat by helping another racecar, Strip "The King" Weathers, cross the finish line after he was crashed by Chick, while Chick ended up winning the same race but is ultimately betrayed by everyone else since they found out about what he did to The King, and that doing such is actually against the racing code.
* In ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'', Tai Lung to Po. Both were raised to carry on the work of their [[ObliviousAdoption much tinier fathers]] and have destinies tied to the Dragon Scroll .
** Also, [[ActionGirl Tigress]] and Tai Lung. Both don't know their real parents (one was raised in an OrphanageOfLove, the other was a DoorstopBaby). Both [[WellDoneSonGuy only wanted their father/teacher's love]]. Like Tai Lung, Tigress believed she would be chosen as the Dragon Warrior by Oogway, and resented Po for 'stealing her thunder.' They also both suffer from {{Pride}} and [[BerserkButton a bad temper]]. Only the fact Tigress remained honorable and chose to become an even better and more worthy warrior (and, most likely, her defeat at the Thread of Hope) kept her from following the same path.
* The DisneyAnimatedCanon have lots of examples:
** ''Disney/SleepingBeauty'' has the evil fairy Maleficent to the 3 good fairies
** ''Disney/ThePrincessAndTheFrog'' has Facilier (evil, male, tall, slim, young, attractive, slick) and Mama Odie (benevolent, female, short, pudgy, ''very'' old, hard of hearing and a goofball). Originally Facilier was supposed to be Odie's ''son''.
** [[LiloandStitch Leroy and Stitch.]]
** Disney villains in general are the evil counterparts to {{Disney Princess}}es. Guess which one has more characters!
* Mozenrath to ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}''. Both of them are very clever and quick-witted, yet they are occasionally prone to letting their youthful impatience and boredom get in their way of completely reaching their [[GuileHero full]] [[MagnificentBastard potential]], and they're both hinted to have rather unpleasant pasts. Oh, and neither of them is ever seen without their faithful animal companions.
* ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'': Judge Doom to Eddie Valiant; both are law enforcement who hold a certain hatred towards toons. However, deep down, Eddie holds a certain fondness for toons, suppressing it mainly becuase of [[spoiler:his brother's death]] and is still a good person underneath. Doom's hatred is perhaps more intense, which is ironic [[spoiler:as he turns out to be a toon himself]].
* In ''KillBill'', Elle Driver, aka California Mountain Snake, is the counterpart to Black Mamba.
* Trevelyan (former Agent 006) in ''Film/GoldenEye''. He even gives the ForWantOfANail reasoning and a NotSoDifferent speech.
* Rene Belloq from ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk'' is a classic example. Both he and Indy are successful {{Adventurer Archaeologist}}s with the main difference being that Belloq is willing to work with anyone, (including the Nazis) on a job, and that he's perfectly content to let someone else find the treasure, then steal it from them at gunpoint. Belloq also delivers an excellent example of a NotSoDifferent speech at one point.
* Iron Monger [[spoiler:(Obadiah Stane)]] to IronMan (Tony Stark) in the [[Film/IronMan 2008 film]].
* ''Film/TheManWithTheGoldenGun'': Scaramanga and Bond. Scaramanga gives a NotSoDifferent speech:
-->'''Bond''': You live well, Scaramanga.
-->'''Scaramanga''': At a million dollars a contract I can afford to, Mr Bond. You work for peanuts, a hearty well done from her Majesty the Queen and a pittance of a pension. Apart from that we are the same. To us, Mr Bond, we are the best.
-->'''Bond''': There's a useful four letter word, [[ShutUpHannibal and you're full of it.]]
* Jaws in ''Film/TheSpyWhoLovedMe'' was conceived of as a kind of EvilCounterpart to Bond: both are [[ImplacableMan implacable men]] who do extraordinary things with great panache, and can get out of the worst scrapes with minimal ClothingDamage.
* ''{{Push}}'' has two. Nick's counterpart is Victor, and Cassie's counterpart is the Triad Watcher. Victor is a better Mover than Nick, and the Triad Watcher is a better Watcher than Cassie.
** It seems to be implied that Nick and Cassie are every bit (if not more) powerful, but are novices at actually exercising their powers compared to their more experienced counterparts.
*** That, and the fact they ''are'' son and daughter of the best mover and watcher anyone has ever seen (Cassie's mum set up events for '''ten years in the future''') so they may have genetically inherited a bit of it. The agent pusher is also a counterpart of the experiment survivor, although she could arguably already be better.
* In ''StarWars'', Darth Vader is naturally the evil counterpart to Luke Skywalker (a living incarnation of the evil that Luke is perfectly capable of), and Emperor Palpatine is an evil Force mentor version of Yoda.
* ''Film/StarTrekNemesis'' had Shinzon, the evil clone of Jean-Luc Picard whose main purpose in the story is to show what Picard himself could have become had he grown up under more oppressive circumstances. [[spoiler: Picard himself uses this in an attempt to demonstrate that Shinzon had the choice to become a better person, while Shinzon wanted to prove that BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil]].
* In the Heisei series, ''{{Godzilla}}'' gained an EvilCounterpart in [[Film/GodzillaVsSpaceGodzilla Space Godzilla]], a being created from a fusion of [[Film/GodzillaVsBiollante Biollante]] (who was a fusion of Godzilla's DNA and rose DNA) and a crystalline entity. While Godzilla was in neutral "force of nature" mode, Space Godzilla was definitely malicious and evil, coming to Earth to torment Godzilla and conquer the planet.
** An even earlier example of this would be King Ghidorah, especially the Heisei incarnation. Both started out as creatures (A Godzillasaurus and a trio of Dorats respectively) who got mutated by a nuclear/atomic explosion. However, whereas Godzilla became an unstoppable "force of nature" that can't be controlled (at least, not unwillingly), Ghidorah remained under the control of the Futarians (a group of people, and an android, from the future who wanted to prevent Godzilla's existence and use Ghidorah to destroy Japan).
*** In the Showa era, while both are giant destructive monsters, Godzilla destroys merely out of his hatred of humanity and will (reluctantly) ally himself with them against bigger threats to his territory. Ghidorah, on the other hand, merely destroyed cities (and wiped out life on plants) [[ForTheEvulz out of sadistic glee.]]
** Destroyah. Both were mutated by superweapons. Both have a breath attack. Both are semi-aquatic life-forms. The difference? Destroyah is purely and utterly sadistic taking great pleasure in killing anytihng and everything in sight. Godzilla, on the other hand, will protect the earth (including the humans he hates) from greater threats.
* The writers' and director's audio commentary for ''[[PiratesOfTheCaribbean Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl]]'' at one point refers to Captain Barbossa as "the dark side of Jack Sparrow".
* In ''Film/BlackSwan'', Lily might be this to Nina. Nina frequently hallucinates a phantom doppelganger that seems to mean her harm.
** This mirrors ''SwanLake'', the ballet the film is centered around; Odile the Black Swan, is this to the White Swan, Odette.
* According to Jordy, the Bread-Squeezer is this to Jason in ''MysteryTeam''.
* ''{{Glory}}'' has the Negro irregulars to the 54th Massachusetts.
* ''Film/TransformersDarkOfTheMoon'' plays with this. Sam and [[KidAppealCharacter Bumblebee]] are given dark counterparts in the form of [[spoiler:Soundwave]] and [[spoiler:Dylan]]. Bumblebee came to Sam for help, Sam's family having a history with Cybertronians. Likewise [[spoiler: Dylan's dad received Soundwave as a "client", as the Decepticon had him crunch numbers to make further trips by NASA to the moon improbable, ensuring no one would ever find the ''Ark''.]] This becomes a case of FridgeBrilliance in the final battle, where both human and Autobot kill their respective counterparts.
-->'''[[spoiler:Dylan Gould]]:''' (''to Sam'') Do you really think you were the first one recruited to join the "noble" alien cause?
