* ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': In certain respects, [[Characters/XMenFilmSeriesJeanGrey Jean Grey]] is a younger female version of her father figure [[Characters/XMenFilmSeriesProfessorCharlesXavier Charles]]. She's a NiceGirl with a FriendlessBackground who is tormented by her telepathy because she has difficulty blocking out the thoughts of others, and she suffers from BadDreams, which makes the two of them BirdsOfAFeather. Jean becomes a source of emotional support to Scott after [[spoiler:his brother dies]], which mirrors how Xavier comforts her when she's distressed. Jean is compassionate towards a dehumanized Wolverine even after she had witnessed him [[spoiler:butcher ''all'' of Stryker's soldiers]], just as Charles is forgiving of Magneto's mass murder because he can still sense the goodness in his old friend. Jean adopts the PstandardPsychicPstance that her mentor no longer uses, which reinforces the idea that she's a surrogate variant of DaddysGirl.[[note]]She fits "The third possible character is the socially awkward one who gets understanding and encouragement from her father" type.[[/note]] Their sameness is also displayed visually because Jean wears a 3/4-sleeve blazer which is similar to the Professor's (albeit in a different colour), and conveniently, they're both beautiful in a feminine way (Xavier is a LongHairedPrettyBoy).

** As an adoptive son, Loki is in many aspects a younger male version of Frigga. She taught him magic, and he also "inherited" SharedFamilyQuirks ([[http://othermongoose.tumblr.com/post/170204740757/i-read-somewhere-that-the-actors-for-loki-and fidgeting with hands]] when nervous), her talent for deception, her elegant comportment and her fighting style (i.e. relying on speed and agility). Both are very perceptive about other people (lampshaded by Frigga in regards to Loki), not to mention that Loki is InTouchWithHisFeminineSide and [[LongHairedPrettyBoy beautiful in a feminine manner]]. Loki initially tried to rein in Thor's violent, impulsive side, and Frigga does the same with Odin. [[spoiler:He defends the Asgardians in ''Film/ThorRagnarok'' as she tried before. They even die [[https://imgur.com/BWyZubQ similarly]] by attempting to protect another person and ambush a much stronger foe with a short sword/dagger and being DefiantToTheEnd.]]

** Peter Parker is a younger version of Tony Stark who acts as his mentor and parental figure.

* Scootaloo of the Cutie Mark Crusaders from ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' is a younger Rainbow Dash, sharing the same athletic Tomboy personality and love of speed. Scootaloo eventually becomes Rainbow Dash's surrogate little sister/protege.

* From ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinChronicles'', there is Ping Pong who is basically a younger smaller version of Omi with green glasses and a french accent.

* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'' has a few.

* Superboy is this to ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'' in continuities where he's not literally a younger version of Supes. Typically like his mentor he's a young person trying to help people (but without the cape). Supergirl also counts in continuities where she's physically younger than her cousin.

The JuniorCounterpart is a character that serves as a younger, less experienced {{Foil}} to an older, wiser character. A character of this sort is often present to have similar origins, appearance, or character to the older character, but is either more [[WideEyedIdealist idealistic]], naive, or reckless than the older character, and always less experienced. It's far more likely that the junior is the protagonist as he is most often shown to be the underdog, with the senior functioning as a DecoyProtagonist.
