* Serpentor from ''Franchise/GIJoe'' was created from the combined DNA of ten historical figures: UsefulNotes/JuliusCaesar, UsefulNotes/NapoleonBonaparte, UsefulNotes/AttilaTheHun, Philip II of Macedon and his son UsefulNotes/AlexanderTheGreat, Ivan The Terrible, UsefulNotes/VladTheImpaler, [[UsefulNotes/PunicWars Hannibal]], UsefulNotes/GenghisKhan, and UsefulNotes/GrigoriRasputin. Dr. Mindbender tried to get Creator/SunTzu as well, but was stopped by the Joes. Fortunately, that was apparently enough to throw his military competence out of whack. The comic series justified all this by stating the DNA was largely symbolic -- Serpentor's mind and memories were created by Dr Venom's brainwashing machine.

* ''Roleplay/WeAreAllPokemonTrainers'': School creations aren't born in the conventional sense, they're derived from numerous genetic sources from two or more people that are made into a template, and then formed from a machine that creates them from raw materials. Chiyo, an escaped Schoolchild, mentions that in a way their creation method gives them more in common with homunculi than conventional clones.
