History EvilCounterpart / VideoGames

** Flak is the evil [[TheBrute brute]] to Max's [[TheBigGuy heroic muscle]], as he lacks Max's few restraints or glimpses of intelligence and prefers "smashin stuff" over any strategy; even his CO powers (which are functionally identical to Max's) are edgier-named: "Brute Force" and "Barbaric Flow".

*** Barbarus and Greygnarl are this to each other. Both are dragons that have a history with the Gittish Empire (Greygnarl fighting against them while Barbarus aids them in [[TakingOverTheWorld Taking Over the Protectorate]].), and both aid Celestrains in their quests (Guardian Nine and [[spoiler:Corvus]]). The Bestiary entries for the two dragons suggest that Greygnarl and Barbarus formed a balance of Light and Darkness, but that Barbarus forgot the use and need of the balance.
*** Corvus is the Hero's Evil Counterpart. Both are Celestrians that fell to a major region of the Protectorate they were the Guardians of (Angel Falls and Wormwood Creek), once had a connection with Aquila (The Hero being Aquila's student while Corvus was his mentor), were nursed back to health by a female human that became close to them (Erinn and Serena), ally themselves with a dragon that had a history with the Gittish Empire (Greygnarl with the Hero, Barbarus with Corvus), and at the end of the game, renounce their Celestrian nature. However, while the Hero was loved for their duties by Angel Falls, Wormwood Creek was so unwelcoming to Corvus that Serena's father sold him out to protect them from the Gittish Empire, causing him to believe that Serena betrayed him and hates humanity. And while the Hero renounced their Celestrain nature to gain an edge against Corvus since Celestrains cannot act above their superiors, Corvus renounced his Celestrain nature to become a full on demon. Hell, his initial hairstyle is long blonde hair to contrast with the Hero's brown hair.
** ''VideoGame/DragonQuestXI'': While not a party member, Mia is [[VideoGame/DragonQuestVI Milly]]'s Evil Counterpart. Both are the sisters of their siblings (Terry and Erik) who were put in danger motivating said siblings to go on a quest to save them. (Milly being captured by bandits from Felonia, Mia putting on a cursed necklace, turning everything to gold, including herself) However, Milly eventually joins the Hero's party before the quest to fight Murdaw and later [[spoiler:Mortamor]], while Mia is left behind and recruited by Mordegon to become Gyldygga, one of the Spectral Sentinels. They even fight their siblings later in the game, though while Milly fights Terry to save him from the [[DealWithTheDevil Deal With Dhuran]], Mia, as Gyldygga, fights Erik and his friends to protect Mordegon's dominace over Erdrea.

*** [[VideoGame/CrashBandicoot2CortexStrikesBack The second installment]] introduces two computer experts: Crash's little sister [[TeenGenius Coco]] and Cortex's [[TheDragon new dragon]] [[{{Cyborg}} N. Gin]]: both of them are {{Ditzy Genius}}es with a rather short temper, but are also [[UndyingLoyalty heartfeltly loyal]] to the respective characters. In [[VideoGame/CrashBandicoot3Warped the following game]], Coco fights N. Gin's new HumongousMecha in a spaceship, in [[VideoGame/CrashTeamRacing the racing game]], both are acceleration-based characters, and amusingly, both of them become more and more expressive over the years.

** The titular character's magical order called the Umbra Witches are a female-only group of magic-users who have contracts with infernal demons and can slow down time. By all accounts they ''should'' be the evil counterparts to the the male-only group of magic-users who work with angels and can speed up time, the Lumen Sages, except in the first game the Lumen Sages try to exterminate the Umbran Witch order in order to steal their half of a god's power, the Eyes of the World, which would make ''them'' [[LightIsNotGood the evil counterparts]]. However, this gets subverted in the [[VideoGame/Bayonetta2 sequel]] when it's revealed that the Lumen Sages aren't really evil, they were led down a path of destruction by the angels lying to them in an attempt at a power-grab for the Eyes of the World, coupled with the Lumen Sage leader, Balder, [[spoiler:being corrupted by housing the pure evil half of the soul of the former God of Chaos in his body. Additionally, despite the Umbra Witches serving demons, the demons are [[DarkIsEvil played straight]] to a certain extent, meaning some of them could deceive their conjurers into doing something bad (though there's a higher chance the ones Bayonetta has end up being completely DarkIsNotEvil especially in ''VideoGame/Bayonetta 3''.]]

** CREATIVE CONTROL lets the wrestler refuse a booker's task at the cost of Attitude points. NO CREATIVE CONTROL is the opposite.
** IRON CLAD means the wrestler cannot be fired. NO COMPETE means a wrestler cannot quit.

** [[VideoGame/CrashBandicoot2CortexStrikesBack The second installment]] introduces two computer experts: Crash's little sister [[TeenGenius Coco]] and Cortex's [[TheDragon new dragon]] [[{Cyborg}} N. Gin]]: both of them are {{Ditzy Genius}}es tendencies with a rather short temper, but also a [[UndyingLoyalty heartfelt loyalty]] to the respective characters. In [[VideoGame/CrashBandicoot3Warped the following game]], Coco fights N. Gin's new HumongousMecha in a spaceship, and in [[VideoGame/CrashTeamRacing the racing game]], both are acceleration-based characters.

** Nina Cortex was recreated into one for Coco Bandicoot in the Creator/RadicalEntertainment-developed games. Both act as right-hand girls and {{Kid Sidekick}}s to Cortex and Crash, respectively. However, while Coco is bubbly, altruistic, and looks up to her older brother, Nina is snide and conniving, and considers herself superior to her uncle.
