History Main / EvilDoppelganger

** ''Franchise/SpiderMan'': In the ''ComicBook/SpiderGeddon'' story arc, Spider-Punk's universe is a bit different than main universe Earth-616. Among the differences, the god of thunder is Eric Masters and he's a neo-Nazi thug (where most others are just punk versions of their normal super-hero identities). Hobie happily breaks his arm and proclaims "No gods, no masters..."

* In Part 2 of ''Manga/ChainsawMan'', Denji gets a more straightforward one in the form of an AmbiguouslyEvil copycat Chainsaw Man who [[spoiler:[[BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork kills Asa's friend Yuko after she's possessed]]. "AmbiguouslyEvil" because while the doppleganger's cast in a malevolent light and Yuko's indicated to have been defenseless when she was killed, considering the damage that Yuko has done, the doppelganger may have reasonably seen himself in the right for killing her. He also appears later to rescue Asa and Denji from the Falling Devil, so if nothing else he's on their side. Furthermore, it is revealed later that the Falling Devil was sent by the Famine Devil in a plan to avert the apocalypse. Although it is unclear how aware the doppelganger is of this and if it means they want to usher in an age of devils]].

* In Bratz Kidz Sleepover Adventure, Saha goes to a carnival and finds a mirror containing an evil clone of her that traps her inside and escapes, causing mischief.

* The original plot of the ''LightNovel/ThatTimeIGotReincarnatedAsASlime'' game ''ISEKAI Memories'' has these created by the CanonForeigner BigBad. Rather than exact copies, they are "ideal" futures based on desperate thoughts a person had while they were near a reflective surface, and often possess powers much different than their originals based on that. In one example, [[NiceGirl Shion's]] copy is based on a timeline where after the Orcs destroyed her village, she absorbed the souls of her deceased ogre comrades to have enough power for revenge. While the real Shion is happily loyal to Rimuru and trusts he will defeat the Orc Lord, her counterpart is disgusted that she would serve a slime, and won't accept any justice to the orcs unless it is by her own hands. Worse, these doppelgangers tend to have a strong desire to [[KillAndReplace kill their originals for being "defective"]].

* ''ComicBook/ThePowerpuffGirls'': One issue features the Powerpuff Girls entering a MirrorUniverse and encountering evil versions of themselves called the Powerpunk Girls.[[note]]This was originally supposed to be an episode for the [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998 the original series]], but it was later reworked for the comics.[[/note]]

*** Satan Girl is [[EnemyWithout an evil duplicate born from Supergirl's inner darkness]]), Ultragirl is Supergirl's evil counterpart from the Anti-Matter Universe, Overgirl is Supergirl's Earth-10 Nazi alternate self, and ComicBook/{{Bizarrogirl}} is Supergirl's imperfect duplicate with backwards morals and a loony disposition.

* ''Anime/FlintTheTimeDetective'': When fighting Flint, Ominito transforms four of his mushrooms into evil doubles of Flint's friends Sara, Tony, and Merlock, and Flint's father Rocky. These doppelgängers are all a Call-Back to episodes in which these characters really did temporarily turn on Flint (Sara is the Giant Sara from "Muscles", Tony the winged Tony from "Wing", Merlock the monstrous, Uglinator-controlled Merlock from "Uglinator" and Rocky the evil Rocky from "Rocky in Love").

* ''Manga/ShimejiSimulation'': The clone of [[spoiler:Big Sis]] was unintentionally created by her when she [[spoiler:used the machine language to increase the simulation's computational power, but only a fraction of her consciousness was passed onto the clone itself.]] It later becomes a self-aware, independent entity of her own [[spoiler:when she becomes rogue, planning to use the Mosasa Dogs and their concert at the school festival as catalysts in spreading the broadcast code that will allow humans to change themselves in an instant.]] It is far more concerning that [[spoiler:Big Sis enlists Shijima and Majime into stopping her threat, before West Yomogi and its people will be gone for good.]]

* ''Fanfic/AbraxasHrodvitnon'': In this ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' Franchise/MonsterVerse fanfiction, [[HeelFaceTurn San]] has a couple due to [[Characters/AbraxasHrodvitnonTitansAndOtherCreatures Ghidorah]]'s ability to regenerate duplicates of severed pieces of itself with the [[MultipleHeadCase three heads]]' personalities intact. Besides the head that Ghidorah regrew after San's head was ripped off [[Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019 in the movie]]; after San's consciousness transfers out of his severed head to [[TwoBeingsOneBody Vivienne Graham]], the old head regrows San's personality and memories but without the post-transfer CharacterDevelopment that leads the main San towards a HeelFaceTurn.

** ComicBook/WonderWoman [[DecompositeCharacter had two]] (and kicked both their asses); Superwoman and Olympiad. Olympiad was her direct counterpart sharing her background and a minor character, while Superwoman was the counterpart of ComicBook/{{Shazam}}'s sister Mary Marvel but had Wonder Woman's role in the big three and a relationship with Owlman mirroring Wonder Woman's frequent ShipTease with Batman in the ''Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse'', which this film was originally planned to be part of. While Wonder Woman did her best to try to bring Bruce out of his shell ([[WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond with limited success]]), Superwoman was a PsychoSupporter who actively encouraged Owlman's worst qualities.

** Ultraman was ComicBook/{{Superman}}'s double who turned what was the Daily Planet into his personal hideout with Jimmy Olsen as his muscle, and was a SuperMobBoss with a {{Joisey}} accent and a weakness to blue kryptonite rather than green (like Bizarro).

* ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'': Given this series' approach to TheMultiverse and infinite alternate versions of the two main characters, there's quite a few examples of this trope. The most iconic one in the show is probably Evil/[[spoiler:President]] Morty, a ruthless and amoral Morty who lives up to Rick levels of superintelligence, with the hostile Council of Ricks who propagate and maintain the Citadel's corrupt system also counting.

* Samus Aran of the ''VideoGame/{{Metroid}}'' series has had two, both resulting from having her suit invaded by evil alien organisms: the SA-X of ''VideoGame/MetroidFusion'', and Dark Samus of the ''VideoGame/MetroidPrimeTrilogy''. Though, if you want to get technically, she actually has ''twelve'': due to the SA-X asexually reproducing, there are eleven of them in total in ''Metroid Fusion''.

* The original plot of the ''LightNovel/ThatTimeIGotReincarnatedAsASlime'' game ''ISEKAI Memories'' has these created by the CanonForeigner BigBad. Rather than exact copies, they are "ideal" futures based on desperate thoughts a person had while they were near a reflective surface, and often possess powers much different than their originals based on that. In one example, [[NiceGirl Shion's]] copy is based on a timeline where after the Orcs destroyed her village, she absorbed the souls of her deceased ogre comrades to have enough power for revenge. While the real Shion is happily loyal to Rimuru and trust he will defeat the Orc Lord, her counterpart is disgusted that she would serve a slime, and won't accept any justice to the orcs unless it is by her own hands. Worse, these doppelgangers tend to have a strong desire to [[KillAndReplace kill their originals for being "defective"]].

'''Felix:''' Oh, I get the concept. [[GenreSavvy I go to the movies]]. The clone goes out and destroys the guy's life by doing evil things that the original guy was never capable of! You've seen those movies, haven't you?

* ''Franchise/StarTrek'', of course, has the MirrorUniverse, with evil beards and everything. However, some of the characters are not at all evil, such as Mirror!Spock being no more evil than Prime!Spock, and others are outright ''good'' versions of their Prime counterparts, such as Brunt (ruthless Liquidator in the Prime universe and a kind assistant in the Mirror universe) and Voq (a racist Klingon in the Prime universe and the leader of a multi-species LaResistance in the Mirror universe). In ''[[Series/StarTrekDiscovery Discovery]]'', Sylvia Tilly and Michael Burnham have to impersonate their evil counterparts, both of whom are bloodthirsty ship captains. Meanwhile, [[spoiler:Burnham's late CO Philippa Georgiu's double is the Emperor]], while Lorca [[spoiler:turns out to have been DeadAllAlong; the one we know has been the MirrorUniverse counterpart the whole time.]]

Sometimes the evil double is a clone and may brood about how he's not a "real" person, just a hollow imitation of the original. If that happens, the clone tends to go mad and try to murder the original to take his place. (Although sometimes a clone may have a case of CopiedTheMoralsToo.)

* ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' has two: [[Film/GodzillaVsMechagodzilla Mecha Godzilla]] and [[Film/GodzillaVsMechagodzilla Space Godzilla]].

* In the ''Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger'' vs ''Go-Busters'' movie, the Gokaigers become evil versions of themselves [[http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3thZPp6b4QQ/UJKvoSU-GYI/AAAAAAAADTg/xw5nZ5GxqKM/s400/G33j8.jpg]] [[spoiler: due to something messing with Earth's timeline.]] Even sporting a evil version of the Gokai Galleon.

** Season 2 of ''Series/StarTrekPicard'' shows us a different AlternateReality. A clear example of the trope is General Picard, who is a ruthless conqueror for the Confederacy of Earth with a collection of skulls in his trophy room and the painting of his flagship the CSS ''World Razer'', which appears to be this trope for the USS ''Enterprise''-D (and seems to have enough firepower to blast clear through a Borg cube).

* The Shadow Toa in ''Toys/{{Bionicle}} Chronicles #1: Tale of the Toa'' are [[BigBad Makuta Teridax]]'s final challenge to the six Toa heroes. After realizing they're evenly matched, the Toa [[OpponentSwitch swap their duplicates]] and destroy them with their ElementalPowers. However, this scenario is actually a {{retcon}} of the originally intended ending, in which the Toa accept their shadow counterparts as representations of their own evil and thus make them vanish. In the ''BIONICLE Encyclopedia'', the Shadow Toa's defeat was retconned back to this version. They weren't the ultimate challenge either, the heroes went on to face Makuta himself after dealing with the Shadow Toa, effectively [[CanonDiscontinuity making the climax of the novel non-canon]]. The villains' ability to make evil clones of good guys [[ForgottenPhlebotinum wasn't brought up afterwards]], although another Makuta, Tridak would later experiment with kidnapping Toa from {{alternate universe}}s to corrupt them.
