A fairly common storyline that {{lampshade}}s this is where the BigBad (or, perhaps, just a neutral MadScientist; it's almost unheard of for anybody without a direct connection to the hero and his TrueCompanions) makes an actual clone of the character ([[OppositeSexClone usually of the opposite sex]], but not always). They play themselves off as family members from out of state, or exchange students from MarySuetopia, but they have a mission to off the main character when they get the say so. Of course, since 99% of the Copy Cat Sues out there are synthesized to allow the author to imagine being both the canon character and friends/lovers with them, they'll betray their creator and join with the heroes (who, despite the character's connection with the bad guys, will rarely question them for very long), usually proceeding to kill the BigBad, slay TheDragon, and become best friends/lovers until the end of time. [[TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth Or die. That happens... a lot really]].

->'''Super OC:''' Your bloodline is very special, it is a very special doujutsu with all of the abilities of the Sharingan and the Byakugan.
->'''Manga/{{Naruto}}:''' So does that make me half Hyuuga and half Uchiha?
->'''Super OC:''' No, it just means that the author realized that coming up with a useful doujutsu is harder then it seems, so they copped out and combined the two given to them.

The Copy Cat Sue is a common occurrence, marked by their uncanny resemblance to a canon character. This is usually most blatant when it involves traits that are supposed to be unique in TheVerse, but pretty much anything where the {{Backstory}} and key character traits of the two characters are nearly interchangeable counts. The canon character is [[LastOfHisKind the last of their kind]]? Well, [[CompletelyMissingThePoint so is this character]]! AbusiveParents? This character can sympathize! The canon character has a unique TransformationTrinket? It's not unique any more! They might even have another TeamPet of the exact same species, and they get along with the canon pet absolutely fine! And any markings or iconic disfigurements (such as scars or a missing limb) the canon character has, this character will also have, in exactly the same place ... [[BellisariosMaxim somehow]].
