History EvilCounterpart / WesternAnimation

** [[Characters/TheOwlHouseAmityBlight Amity Blight]] has Boscha; much like her, Amity used to care about challenging her competition and maintaining her social life/status. However, while Boscha is implied to have always been a cruel bully, Amity is not actually intending on being cruel at heart, and ultimately resolves to change her ways.

*** The Rowdyruff Boys are a group of little boys with the same powers but the opposite morality, and were created by Mojo Jojo from snips, snails, and puppy dogs tails.

*** Ozai and Hakoda have surprising similarities despite the former being [[spoiler:[[DePower formerly]]]] a Firebender and the latter a BadassNormal. Both are the leaders of their respective countries, both are expert strategists when it comes to warfare, both can be very distant with their children and they even have similar facial features (as noted by fans). However while Hakoda dearly loved his wife Kya, as well as cherishing Sokka and Katara whom he missed every day since he went to war, Ozai on the other hand forcibly married Ursa against her will, physically abuses Zuko, psychologically twists Azula and happily banishes or casts aside his family in the pursuit of power. This contrast is depicted when Katara reveals her anger towards Hakoda, who takes her criticisms in stride and reassures her that he loves her and Sokka without them having to do anything for it, then immediately cutting to Zuko meeting Ozai for the first time in years where Ozai reaffirms his "love" for Zuko because he met the right conditions for it.
*** Zuko and Sokka were originally this and even when Zuko TookALevelInKindness he and Sokka and still [[CommonalityConnection discover they're not that different]]. Both Zuko and Sokka looked up to their fathers and had heavy responsibilities placed upon them from a young age, both Zuko and Sokka do their best to be intimidating but often embarrass themselves in dorky fashion, Zuko and Sokka are/become MasterSwordsmen and are both [[ChickMagnet Chick Magnets]]. However while Sokka had a loving relationship with Hakoda and (despite the bickering) an equally healthy relationship with his sister Katara to point where Sokka can't even remember his mother Kya and when he does he just pictures Katara while Zuko is at violent odds with his father and sister. In fact, Ozai and Azula’s pretense to care about him is nothing more than manipulation causing Zuko to turn back to the dark side in Season 2. After joining the heroes, Zuko even copies Sokka's ways in the ''ComicBook/AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheSearch'' being inspired when Sokka expresses his care for Katara to put a blanket over a sleeping Azula.
*** Katara and Azula: roughly the same [[ImprobableAge age]], they are both the daughters of leaders with leadership skills of their own, both freakishly [[TheGift powerful and talented]] prodigies with their elements, both at least occasionally overbearing control freaks and possessed of a dangerous temper when provoked. On opposite lines of the RedOniBlueOni divide they may be, but taking into account their fathers' personalities/influences they are far more alike than one may think.

** Zuko has one in Zhao who is older than him, experienced in war, willing to sacrifice others to further his own career, and seems to have favor within the Fire Nation helping him go through the ranks. It is also shown with the fact that they're also unfriendly rivals in the show always fighting whether physically or over Aang. They also attempt to capture Aang for different reasons, Zuko so he can restore his honor and return home with the love of his [[BigBad abusive father]], and Zhao as a vanity project.

* In ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'', Jasper to Amethyst. Both are hot-blooded, rude, brash, rely on brute strength, and love to fight. But while Amethyst loves to goof off and has love and compassion for others, Jasper exists to fight, is always serious, and doesn't get the importance of love. She also shares Amethyst's hair style and is physically similar to her, but larger, and they both attack with a spin dash. To further push the matter, Jasper is colored orange, complementary to Amethyst's purple. "Too Far" reveals that Amethyst is a Quartz Gem like Jasper, with Jasper representing what a successful Kindergarten Gem should look like. By contrast, Amethyst is an "overcooked runt" that stayed in the ground too long, hence her short stature and comparatively weaker abilities. This comes to a head in "Crack the Whip", where they finally fight. Jasper, thanks to a combination of training and her superior capabilities, beats her down easily. "Beta" takes this even further by revealing [[spoiler:that Jasper was also made on Earth, in the Beta Kindergarten. All the other holes are misshapen while hers is the only one that's perfect.]] And while Amethyst sees Jasper as her Arch-Enemy, Jasper views her as an embarrassment.

** Gideon is this to both Dipper and Stan; he has knowledge of the supernatural and a desire to unlock the secrets of the town comparable to Dipper, and he and Stan are both [[ConMan con men]] [[spoiler: while both also having links to the genuine paranormal]], but where Stan is a JerkWithAHeartOfGold, Gideon is a psychopathic CorruptHick bent on taking over the town.

*** Ozai and Hakoda have surprising similarities despite the former being [[spoiler:[[DePower formerly]]]] a Firebender and the latter a BadassNormal. Both are the leaders of their respective countries, both are expert strategists when it comes to warfare, both can be very distant with their children and they even have similar facial features (as noted by fans). However while Hakoda dearly loved his wife Kya, as well as cherishing Sokka and Katara whom he missed every day since he went to war, Ozai on the other hand forcibly married Ursa against her will, physically abuses Zuko, psychologically twists Azula and happily banishes or casts aside his family in the pursuit of power.

** [[Characters/TheOwlHouseLuzNoceda Luz Noceda]] and the gang are similar to [[Characters/TheOwlHouseEmperorBelos Emperor Belos]] and his [[Characters/TheOwlHouseEmperorBelos Emperor Belos]:

** Amity has Boscha; much like her, Amity used to care about challenging her competition and maintaining her social life/status. However, while Boscha is implied to have always been a cruel bully, Amity is not actually intending on being cruel at heart, and ultimately resolves to change her ways.
** Luz and the gang are similar to Belos and his coven:
*** Like Luz, the Golden Guard comes off as playful and easy-going despite working under the Emperor. He also found King oddly endearing much like how Luz's first response to seeing the "king of demons" was to glomp him.
*** Eda and Belos both function as mentors to their students and are known as some of the most powerful witches on the Boiling Isles. However, Belos strictly believes in quashing anything that does not conform to his order whereas Eda believes in individuality and little restrictions on magic.

** "The Ultimate Enemy" has the main villain being Dark Danny, who is [[FutureMeScaresMe Danny's evil future self]] from a BadFuture where Danny's friends and loved ones died in a horrible accident, Vlad tried to help Danny get a normal life by removing his ghost half and the ghost half proceeded to merge with Vlad's ghost half and kill human Danny before becoming a bloodthirsty tyrant who spreads a swath of terror and destruction throughout Amity Park. Present Danny in the end averts the series of events that lead to him becoming Dark Danny and traps his evil future self in a Fenton Thermos, but the episode ends with an [[AbortedArc unresolved]] SequelHook where Dark Danny appears close to breaking free.

* Vlad to Danny in ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom''. True to the trope, the NotSoDifferentRemark is one of Vlad's favourite tactics, leading to the expected denial from Danny.
** Dark Danny -- [[FutureMeScaresMe his evil future version]] -- is the other Evil Counterpart to Danny.

* ''WesternAnimation/TUFFPuppy'': The main villain Verminious Snaptrap easily qualifies as a villainous equivalent to Dudley Puppy due to both characters being very stupid and immature. Snaptrap and Dudley have even been established to both be {{Basement Dweller}}s.

* ''WesternAnimation/TUFFPuppy'': The main villain Verminious Snaptrap easily qualifies as a villainous equivalent to Dudley Puppy due to both characters being very stupid and immature.

* ''WesternAnimation/WackyRaces'': Dick Dastardly is this to Peter Perfect.

*** Princess Morbucks, to each of the girls individually and as a whole—as a whole, she's essentially a character who desires their powers (and sometimes gets them or finds some way of copying them), yet has no qualities that make her worthy of them. After her first appearance, she even dresses like them most of the time.

*** If you take Buttercup, remove all of her redeeming qualities, add a lot of "spoiled brat" and "jerkass," then you have Princess.

* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'':

** "Elsewhere and Elsewhen" gives Luz an even stronger one in the form of [[spoiler:Philip Wittibane/[[TwoAliasesOneCharacter Emperor Belos]]. They're both humans that ended up trapped in the Boiling Isles and seek to find a way home. But while Luz is kind and empathetic, and loves the Isles and only seeks to return home to reunite with her mother, having even found love with a witch, Philip is manipulative and selfish, willing to sacrifice his "companions" at the drop of a hat if he thinks it will benefit him, and hates witches. Philip even notes that it took years for him to track down the glyphs, almost as if something was trying to keep him from finding them, while Luz found all four in a matter of weeks.]]

* {{Subverted|Trope}} in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'', where Mac's BigBrotherBully Terrence attempts to make his own imaginary friend to deal with Bloo, who constantly manages to humiliate and outsmart him whenever he starts picking on Mac. Not only is he square in contrast to Bloo's round, blob-like appearance, he's red and, [[SarcasmMode surprisingly]], named Red. It's subverted, though, in that, despite being made to be an Evil Counterpart to take on Bloo, Bloo easily outsmarts and humiliates him at every turn, and once he begins to realize Red isn't that bad a guy after he pushes his pranking too far, offers to be friends with him. Red quickly realizes that GoodFeelsGood and starts going after ''[[HoistByHisOwnPetard Terrence]]'' for picking on Mac. All in all, he's arguably a nicer imaginary friend than Bloo himself!

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLionGuard'': Just as Scar was one for Simba in ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994'' (see [[EvilCounterpart/AnimatedFilms here]], he's also one to Kion, representing what Kion [[ShadowArchetype can become]] if he let his anger, self-doubts, and envy consume him to the point he becomes power-hungry. Kion often fears he'll end up like Scar, hence why he frequently regulates the use of [[MightyRoar the Roar of the Elders]], having been made aware that Scar was stripped of the Roar for destroying his own Lion Guard when they refused to help him overthrow Mufasa. [[spoiler:Some scenes in Season 3 of ''The Lion Guard'' even depict Scar [[TheCorrupter actively attempting]] to corrupt Kion]].

*** While Blossom can be bossy and vain at times, she's much more compassionate and has more competence as a leader and is much more of a FieryRedhead than an EvilRedhead like Princess is.
*** If you take Buttercup, remove all of her redeeming qualities, add a lot of "spoiled brat" and "jerkass," then you have Princess.
*** While both Bubbles and Princess are very girly and feminine, Bubbles (like Blossom) is much more compassionate than Princess and is more SpoiledSweet while Princess is just a condescending SpoiledBrat.

** The main girls themselves has ''three'' examples;

*** While Blossom can be bossy and vain at times, she's much more compassionate and has more competence as a leader and is much more of a FieryRedhead than an EvilRedhead like Princess is.
*** If you take Buttercup, remove all of her redeeming qualities, add a lot of "spoiled brat" and "jerkass," then you have Princess.
*** While both Bubbles and Princess are very girly and feminine, Bubbles (like Blossom) is much more compassionate than Princess and is more SpoiledSweet while Princess is just a condescending SpoiledBrat.

** Gargamel himself can be considered an evil counterpart of Papa Smurf as they both are wizards but one uses his magic to help people and do good and the other for selfish and cruel reasons, they both are father figures for Smurfette and Sasette but one because is a gentle adoptive father and the other because is a negligent creator,, they both have aprentices (Brainy and Scruple) but while Papa Smurf is a patient and wise teacher Gargamel misstreats and exploits Scrupules, and they are both old for their respective species.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs':

* The Wartmongers from ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs'' are the evil counterpart of the Smurfs, as they are also a OneGenderRace of small fantasy creatures ruled by a monarch, but they are ugly and evil.
