* CharClone



* CharClone: Being the TropeNamer and TropeMaker, of course. Char was especially unique at the time for being an enemy soldier but having his own agenda that barely involved the main characters. In the UC timeline Char himself allies with the heroes in ''Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam'' only to become the villain again in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack'' after disappearing in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ''. This sort of uncertain loyalty tends to define the character type along with the mask, from Zechs in ''Wing'' to Harry Ord from ''Turn A'' to Rau Le Creuset in ''Seed''.

* {{Expy}}: To say the franchise is addicted to this trope is an understatement. There's [[CharClone a Char]] in ''every single series''.

** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing'': The Aries are the aerial counterpart to the Leos, acting as the primary airborne {{Mooks}} of the series. Unlike the Leos, which can be equipped with either solid ammunition weapons like machine guns and bazookas or beam weapons like beam rifles in addition to a basic beam saber mounted in their shields, the Aries are armed with nothing more than a chaingun and missiles. In order to keep weight low, they also have less armour than the Leos. Notably, when [[CharClone Zechs Merquise]] leads a team to intercept the Wing Gundam as it enters Earth's atmosphere, Zech opts to pilot a Leo rather than an Aries despite the confrontation happening at high altitude.

* MaskPower: TheRival and/or CharClone usually wear a mask (as they generally are hiding their identity), and tend to be among the most dangerous pilots.

* EvilIsBigger: The hero's mobile suit is almost always dwarfed by their foes, as non-humanoid mobile armors are generally exclusively used by antagonists. Even when the hero and primary antagonist both use mobile suits, the villainous mobile suit is generally larger and bulkier (e.g. [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack the Nu Gundam vs. the Sazabi]] or the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory the GP-01 vs. the GP-02]].
