[[redirect:{{Mix-And-Match Man}}]]

to:

[[redirect:{{Mix-And-Match Man}}]]This is an ArtificialHuman, usually but not always a clone, who is created from the combined DNA of multiple individuals. Sometimes the intent was to clone a single individual exactly, but extra genetic samples were added to the mix by accident. Other times, this is done on purpose to give the clone [[AllYourPowersCombined specific traits from each genetic donor]].

Non-clone Mix And-Match Men are physically built from parts of other people, literally stitched together.

Can be {{Half Human Hybrid}}s when at least one genetic donor is human and at least one isn't. Can be MixAndMatchCritters when all genetic donors are non-humans, such as HumanAliens. Obviously more likely to occur in settings where DesignerBabies are common. LegoGenetics are a prerequisite for making these out of vastly different species. PatchworkKids is when an individual produced by ''normal'' reproduction might as well be one of these.

[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
* Cell from ''{{Dragonball}} Z''. As the name suggests, he was created from the DNA of the strongest fighters in the universe.
* Giorno Giovanna from ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure''. While he's not a clone of anyone in particular, the [[GrandTheftMe strange circumstances]] around his conception gave him characteristics of both Jonathan Joestar and Dio Brando. This is reflected in his name: [=JoJo + Dio = GioGio=]. Turns out there's three other men created from these same circumstances, they appear in Part 6.
* ''TenchiMuyo'''s Ryoko was made by [[spoiler:Washu, then a genetic researcher for the Jurai, hoping to create the daughter she could never have, mixed her own genes with genes from a microbe she'd been studying]].
* In ''{{Appleseed}}'', the [[ArtificialHuman Bioroids]] were created with DNA from several donors, including the father of heroine Deunan.
* [[{{Neon Genesis Evangelion}} Rei]] is formed from the DNA of [[spoiler:Yui Ikari and the angel Lilith]].

* The current version of Superboy from the ''{{Superman}}'' comics is a combination of Superman and his arch-nemesis Lex Luthor.
* {{Deadpool}} probably counts, but he was a normal human before the Mix-and-Match.
* Damage is somewhere between this trope and DesignerBabies; his genes were taken from all the original JusticeSocietyOfAmerica.
* The SilverAge DCComics hero ''Ultra, The Multi-Alien'' was a man (in the future) who was a victim of four alien criminals trying to create a means to replicate armies of themselves to conquer the universe. He ended up with a freaky composite body and each of the aliens' powers, which he then used to become a superhero. (He later finds a way to switch back-and-forth between human and multi-form.)
* Brianna from Fred Perry's ''ComicBook/GoldDigger'' was created with the traits and [[GeneticMemory memories]] of her two "sisters" in a FreakLabAccident.
* [[DCComics DC's]] Composite Superman. Depending which version you're talking about, he has the combined powers of Supes/Bats plus some JLA folks, or the combined powers of a buttload of LegionOfSuperheroes members.
** Amazo is an android who copies any superpower he is exposed to.

** In ''TheFly II'', that child has grown up, and [[spoiler: reverses his own transformation by using his father's teleporter to ''steal'' human genetic material from the CorruptCorporateExecutive who'd raised him as an unwitting laboratory experiment, replacing his hereditary fly genes with human ones.]]
* "Lazarus" from the 1995 {{SyFy}} Channel Movie ''Mr. Stitch'' is a sort of Frankenstein Monster made from the corpses of eighty-eight people of every race, age and lifestyle, split evenly among gender and given an identity of his own. Things go wrong when it turns out he has GeneticMemory.
* The reason why the title villain in ''Film/MonsterMan'' is killing and amputating people is because he needs bodyparts to patch up his resurrected brother.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Literature]]
* In ''Literature/{{Animorphs}}'', Ax's human form is one of these. He took DNA from four of the other Animorphs to create his human form, so he wouldn't look like a copy of anybody.
** Specifically, two boys and two girls, creating a result that is regularly described as "[[{{Bishonen}} disturbingly pretty]]".
* The ''{{Replica}}'' series of novels has one of these as the main character, created deliberately to be an {{Ubermensch}}.
* The title character of RobertAHeinlein's ''{{Literature/Friday}}''.
** Same author, the character of Minerva in ''TimeEnoughForLove''.
** Also Minerva's twin sister, Pallas Athena, who finally gets a body with the exact same DNA as Minerva in Heinlein's novel ''Literature/ToSailBeyondTheSunset''.
* {{Frankenstein}}'s monster is made up of various spare parts.
** Or at least Hollywood has made him as such - the novel gives almost ''no'' details about it. The Dean Koontz version, however, goes so far as to identify what sort of people his parts came from.
* Darci, the protagonist of the sci fi novel ''Star Split'', is eventually revealed to be a chimera, or someone made of multiple strands of DNA. This itself isn't unusual in the far future world where genetic engineering is the norm, but she's a special case.
* Damsel in ''SoonIWillBeInvincible''.
* In Donald Moffitt's ''Genesis'' series, all humans created by the Nar use this as their preferred reproductive method, as the human gene pool is still too limited to allow random breeding.
* Flinx from AlanDeanFoster's Humanx series was conceived via this trope by criminal scientists, who spliced together DNA from dozens of psychically-inclined sources.
* The Igors on {{Discworld}} typically have parts from multiple people, and can replace someone else's missing parts as well. (There is also, in one book, a mention of a Mix-and-Match ''Horse''.)
* Invoked from an alien POV in ''PerdidoStreetStation'', when an insect-headed khepri describes humans as "khepri bodies with the heads of shaved apes".

* In ''PrometheanTheCreated'', all Frankensteins are made from pieces of at least two separate corpses. It's in the name - the first one was ''that'' Frankenstein's Monster. Theoretically, any Promethean can be a mix-and-match, but a Frankenstein ''has'' to be.
* ''MagicTheGathering'' has Goblin Chirurgeon, whose art depicts one of his patients. Also from ''Magic'' we get the Phyrexians, who do this...and a bunch of other BodyHorror. Phyrexian Rebirth [[AssimilationPlot turns all creatures in play into this]].
** Innistrad uses this as the distinction between black zombies, which apply the rotting-reanimated-corpse model, and blue zombies, which are the product of blasphemous experimentation rather than blasphemous rituals.

* Agent 47 from ''{{Hitman}}'' (Chinese, German, Romanian, Russian and South American fathers).
* [[MetalGearSolid Liquid and Solid Snake]] being twins, are confirmed to be part-American, part-Japanese and part-Chinese (or whatever the hell Eva is).
* Emerl from SonicBattle is designed to combine the movesets and personalities of the people he meets. When the only people he's met are Sonic and Tails, others can't tell if he's being rude or polite.
* A non-genetic example is Ermac from ''MortalKombat'', who is made up of the souls of hundreds of dead warriors bound into a humanoid body.

* ''{{Drowtales}}'': Rik the half dragon is something of a genetic experiment, and is ostracized by a society as a result.
* Grace from ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' is human and also part squirrel, with alien DNA from an Uryuom and a Lespuko (sort of like an Uryuom, long story).
* Unity of ''Webcomic/SkinHorse'' is sewn together Frankenstein-style from mismatched parts.
* As is Quilt from ''Webcomic/DominicDeegan''.
* Baron Wulfenbach form Webcomic/GirlGenius is probably one of these. The family originally had three sons, but following a horrific lab accident two of them disappeared. It's commonly believed that the Baron is a construct made of the salvageable parts of all three. Also, Constructs in general.
* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'': [[spoiler:The four main protagonists are all examples, all being made from the combined DNA of their guardians]].
* Molly in ''TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob'' was grown using genetic material from many different animals--and some human DNA, taken from her "mother," Jean Poule.

* Romy from ''PinkyAndTheBrain'' was supposed to be a normal clone of Brain, but DNA from Pinky was accidentally included in his creation, causing him to inherit traits from both mice.

* This happens in ''TheSecretSaturdays'' when Zak and his pet komodo dragon and gorilla-cat are combined into one being.
* RobotChicken brings us the horror of Composite Santa: genetically/visually one-half Santa, one-half Frosty the Snowman. I don't know what his powers are, but he freaks me right the fuck out.

* Chimera of this type can occur naturally when two embryo fuse in the womb. One case resulted in a woman whose apparent genome did not match her childrens' because her salivary glands and ovaries actually had two different genotypes.
** Actually everyone has a slightly different version of Chimeraism occurring from cellular interchanges during pregnancy. Babies pick up a few from mom and mom from the child. However, these are very few.
* In addition to sexual reproduction blending the DNA of two individuals, much of our DNA is in fact viral in origin. These viruses began somewhere else, often in another species.
* Cloned animals are typically a Mix And Match of two parents: the animal from which they are cloned (which provides the nucleus of the lab-generated zygote), and the animal that provided an unfertilized egg (which provides the other cellular components). They have the chromosomes of their cloned parent, and the mitochondrial DNA -- what little of it there is -- of the egg-donor. Averted if the same female animal is used for both.
