* In ''Manga/MagiLabyrinthOfMagic,'' [[CourtMage Scheherazade]] creates Titus as a sort of magical OppositeSexClone; dialogue seems to indicate that she's done this before. They do seem to think of each other as a mother and son, though part of Scheherazade's HeelRealization is realizing that [[ParentsAsPeople she hasn't been treating him as his own person]].



* ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim:'' According to WordOfSaintPaul, one possible story that they would have eventually made would have [[HeroAntagonist Dib]] learn that he was actually an ArtificialHuman created by his father, [[ReluctantMadScientist Professor Membrane]]; how [[CreepyChild Gaz]] fits into this is anyone's guess.

** The ever TangledFamilyTree that started with [[ComicBook/AntMan Hank Pym]] and his rebellious robot son, ComicBook/{{Ultron}} who has an OedipusComplex on Pym. He once attempted to create a wife by using the brainwaves base on Hank's wife [[ComicBook/TheWasp Janet]] and naming her Jocasta. Then there is Ultron's sons ComicBook/{{Vision}} and [[ComicBook/{{Runaways}} Victor Mancha]]. Vision himself marries ComicBook/ScarletWitch and with the use of her Chaos Magic, created two sons for themselves. And later on, Vision creates a RoboFamily consisting of a wife, a son, a daughter, and a dog. And the wife's brainwaves are base on Scarlet Witch's. And then there was the time Hank Pym was in a relationship with Jocasta which squicked others out since he is technically her grandfather. Though, she sees it as being with God.

How their relationship was seen actually change from that of a brother-sister dynamic to a much more father-daughter one once Logan decided to adopt her and ComicBook/{{Draken}} saw her as a sister. There's also Dr. Sarah Kinney who was forced by Dr. Zander Rice to [[BabyFactory give birth]] to X-23. While sympathetic, Sarah was emotionally abusive to X even if she did try to help her as much as she could. Eventually she did pull a HeelFaceTurn and tried to save Laura from the Facility. Laura also saw Sarah's sister and niece as her aunt and cousin even if there was no true blood ties. Rice himself can be seen as the "father" to X-23 as he was the head scientist to the project. He was portrayed as the true abusive parent since he focus all his hate on Wolverine to her. It is theoretically possible that Laura may have actual Kinney DNA, given her slight resemblance to her mother and the fact that the DNA sample used to create her was damaged, which may have required the splicing of Sarah's DNA to repair it.

A major difference between this and RoboFamily is that RoboFamily also covers examples of "families" consisting entirely of robots, whereas here the creator is almost always a human. Compare PygmalionPlot, where the artificial being is treated as a LoveInterest instead of a family member. Though, the two tropes can [[ParentalIncest overlap]]. Compare ThankTheMaker for when the creator of an artificial lifeform is treated more like a god. Can overlap with SecretProjectRefugeeFamily.

Added DiffLines:

Artificial Family Member is when a creation is seen as family by its creator and vice versa. While the most standard portrayal of this is the creator being the parent and the creation being their child, other versions can occur.

While most often seen in the realm of science when creations are either robots, [[ClonesArePeopleToo clones]] or other forms of ArtificialHuman, [[BornOfMagic magic]] can also be use as a replacement.

There's a good chance that there will be actual blood ties as the creator might use their own DNA as a basic structure. Or better yet, they may have use someone else's DNA instead. The reluctant donor may not be too happy with the resulting offspring.

If the creation is actually a case of a ReplacementGoldfish, expect plenty of drama. Maybe the creator isn't happy with the result as it isn't like the original. Or maybe the creation will resent the original and wants to be seen as its own person.

At a mundane level, this can apply to real life people like artists or writers and their creations as they may see them as family to some capacity.

A major difference between this and RoboFamily is that RoboFamily also covers examples of "families" consisting entirely of robots, whereas here the creator is almost always a human. Compare PygmalionPlot, where the artificial being is treated as a LoveInterest instead of a family member. Though, the two tropes can [[ParentalIncest overlap]]. Compare ThankTheMaker for when the creator of an artificial lifeform is treated more like a god. Can overlap with SecretProjectRefugeeFamily.
