* ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'': In ''FF'' #20 (2012), Present and Future Valeria Richards don't seem to be getting along with each other.other; Present Val finds her Future self stuck up and bossy and suspects she has her own agenda, while Future Val knows perfectly well that her younger self has her own agenda and is yet to develop the empathy required to match her incredible intellect, at one point giving her a DopeSlap and making her delete detailed plans to conquer and subjugate the Kree Empire. The two Franklins, by contrast, get along marvellously, happily referring to each other as 'Kid Franklin' and 'Mister Franklin'.

* In the [[ComicBook/Supergirl2005 Post Crisis continuity]], ComicBook/PowerGirl rather disliked ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} for several reasons: she felt Kara's existence made hers redundant (as stated in ''ComicBook/PowerTrip2005''), their powers went haywire when they got closer in ''ComicBook/GirlPower'', and Kara's early attitude was bratty (because of Kryptonite poisoning, but neither of them knew that in the time). Although Kara attempted to make amends, they hardly got along. However it's Power Girl who makes Supergirl feel upset in the [[ComicBook/Supergirl2011 Post-Flashpoint universe]], since Kara feels she's a wreck compared with her alternate adult self.

* In the ''ComicBook/AstroCity'' story "Where the Action Is", several of publisher Manny Monkton's [[ComicBooksAreReal depictions of in-unverse supers]] draw their ire. First, Nightingale chews him out for insinuating that she and her sidekick Sunbird are a lesbian couple. Then, Glowworm beats him up for depicting him as a white supremacist (which particularly offends him because [[YouKnowImBlackRight he's actually black]] under the PowerGlow). Afterwards, Monkton gets the idea to avoid future problems by shifting his focus to stories about high-level cosmic entities who [[BeneathNotice won't care what he writes about them.]] This proves [[TemptingFate not to be the case...]]



* One issue of ''ComicBook/AstroCity'' features a comic book editor who publishes fictionalized stories about the local supers. The heroine Nightingale pays him an irate visit to complain about his insinuations of a lesbian relationship between her and her sidekick Sunbird, and then the villain Glowworm beats the crap out of him for depicting him as a white supremacist (which particularly offends him since he's [[YouKnowImBlackRight actually black]] under the {{Power Glow|s}}. He decides to switch to stories about cosmic entities who (he thinks) are above caring what humans say about them. It turns out that they are {{not so above it all}}; one day, his office building vanishes with him in it.

* ''ComicBook/TheSandman1989'': One issue depicts Creator/WilliamShakespeare's theatre troupe performing ''Theatre/AMidsummerNightsDream'' for an audience of TheFairFolk, including the originals of Oberon, Titania, Puck, and Peaseblossom. Auberon and Titania appear to be mainly flattered at having a play about them, and Puck is amused by his representation, but Peaseblossom is enraged by being depicted as a cheerful fairy helper and has to be physically restrained from attacking the actors.

Ultimately (heh), the Maker betrays Reed at the crux simply because Reed misses his family (presumed dead), and decides he can't tolerate that. [[spoiler:After his death and revival, the Maker's moved past this attitude.]]

* Waverider from ''ComicBook/Armageddon2001'' initially had a bad relationship with the leader of the Linear Men when it was revealed that he is the Matthew Ryder that ended up living the life Waverider had lived (or would have lived in the new timeline) and so ended up killing the other Matthew Ryder. This, of course, had the effect of causing Waverider, Superman, and the Linear Men to be trapped in a Nullsphere with no way to escape...until Waverider used the energy from Hunter's eye beam to alter time so that the other Matthew Ryder would not be killed in the first place. Both Matthew Ryders made their amends with each other and Waverider became a new member of the Linear Men.

* Mr Block of ''ComicBook/BlackScience'' uses his access to transdimensional travel to contact his other selves and negotiate trades. One such trade goes south when both Blocks are equally intractable about their terms.

* ''ComicBook/GravityFallsLostLegends'': One of the stories has Mabel get stuck in a pocket dimension full of alternate versions of herself. Mabel grows frustrated with the other Mabels' [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny poor attention spans]], [[ItsAllAboutMe self-absorption]] and short-sightedness, which leads to a JerkassRealization.
* When ''ComicBook/HeroesReborn'' started, its version of the Avengers had a version of Thor that was TheBerserker, but the post-Creator/RobLiefeld issues revealed that this wasn't the real Thor and when the real KnightInShiningArmor Thor ''did'' show up, neither really liked the other.
* In ''ComicBook/HeroSquared'' the "normal" Milo is quite annoyed with the Superhero version of himself from another universe (Captain Valor), and vice versa. Valor is less-than-impressed with Milo's selfishness and complete failure to make anything of his life, whilst Milo resents Valor's smug self-righteousness and over-simplified view of the world and how it works.
* ''ComicBook/InvaderZimOni'':
** In Issue 12, Zim and Dib are accidentally slingshotted into a BadFuture where Zim has conquered the world and declared himself Emperor. Present Zim is naturally thrilled by this, but as Emperor Zim is somewhat more mature and competent, he finds his past self to be an idiot and acts dismissive towards him. This leads to the insulted Present Zim [[EnemyMine teaming up with Dib]] to defeat Emperor Zim and escape back to their own time.
** This is also a big part of the Battle Void arc (Issues 46-49), which features a PocketDimension full of numerous [[AlternateSelf alternate counterparts]] of the same person [[spoiler: (namely Zim)]].

[[spoiler: It also turns out that the whole place is secretly run by an AxCrazy counterpart of Dib, who is horrified when he realizes this; the other Dib, meanwhile, views the main one as an idiot, so acts dismissively towards him even before they come into conflict.]]
* ''ComicBook/JudgeDredd'':
** In one story, Dredd's arch-enemy Judge Death escapes from confinement and goes back to Deadworld to restrategize, but a mistake by the dimension-travel scientist sends both Death and the scientist back in time as well. When the two Judge Deaths run into each other, the past one initially runs his claw through the future one's chest. He's ultimately glad after Dredd takes his alternate self back to the future, because he really didn't want to deal with another him.
** Downplayed in the 2021 story "Trinity", a one-shot from ''ComicBook/TwoThousandAD'' #2262, where Dredd encounters and must briefly team up with parallel versions of himself representing the [[Film/JudgeDredd 1995]] and [[Film/{{Dredd}} 2012]] film adaptations. Being all Dredds, they get some snide commentary on each other in; their first meeting has 2012!Dredd jeering at the fanciful designs of Dredd and 1995!Dredd's uniforms, which causes the original to mock 2012!Dredd's visibly body armor-inspired outfit in turn. Dredd mocks his counterparts for not having the advanced super-tech of his world, and neither Dredd nor 2012!Dredd think highly of 1995!Dredd's "Double-Whammy" Lawmaker round, nor his willingness to use his helmet as a decoy to apprehend the perp they're after. However, the biggest bone of contention is between Dredd and 2012!Dredd due to the latter's [[JudgeJuryAndExecutioner standard policy being to execute any lawbreakers]]. Dredd feels 2012!Dredd is too harsh, whilst 2012!Dredd in return calls his counterpart out as too soft.
* Comicbook/{{Loki}}:
** In ''ComicBook/LokiAgentOfAsgard'', [[spoiler:Old Loki]] has nothing but contempt for the new, younger Loki who is on a quest to redeem themself and escape their role as the villain of the tale. When the two finally meet face to face, they [[DidYouActuallyBelieve mock]] younger Loki [[spoiler:and reveal that they'll never stop being the villain BecauseDestinySaysSo]]. Let's just say [[spoiler:Old Loki]] doesn't take well what [[ScrewDestiny happens later]].
** Similarly, in ''ComicBook/YoungAvengers'', Loki is haunted by [[spoiler:kid Loki]] who constantly annoys them by mocking their wicked schemes, deconstructing their motives, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking spouting bad puns]].
** When reintroduced in ''Comicbook/Thor2014'' the jerk does a Loki trademark MesACrowd with the twist of all copies being different versions of themself. ''It literally devolves into a Loki fight'' over how much the others suck ("I'm beginning to hate myself.").
* In the ''[[ComicBook/Supergirl2005 Post Crisis continuity]]'', ComicBook/PowerGirl rather disliked ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} for several reasons: she felt Kara's existence made hers redundant, their powers went haywire when they got closer, and Kara's early attitude was bratty (because of Kryptonite poisoning, but neither of them knew that in the time). Although Kara attempted to make amends, they hardly got along. However it's Power Girl who makes Supergirl feel upset in the ''[[ComicBook/Supergirl2011 Post-Flashpoint universe]]'', since Kara feels she's a wreck compared with her alternate adult self.
* ''Creator/MarvelComics'':
** In the ''ComicBook/IdentityWars'' miniseries ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}, ComicBook/SpiderMan and [[ComicBook/IncredibleHulk the Hulk]] cross over into an alternate dimension. Spider-Man's alternate version is a WellIntentionedExtremist, which annoys Spidey. Deadpool gets along famously with his alternate until he discovers that alt-Deadpool isn't Wade Wilson, it's [[spoiler:Victor Von Doom]]. Alt-Wade Wilson is a BigBad who Deadpool takes down. Bruce Banner discovers that he can't turn into the Hulk in this dimension and is overjoyed, until that gets reversed. Then alt-Hulk and Hulk duke it out.
** One nice example involving Deadpool has him inventing an imaginary version of himself (aka, he willed himself into having a split personality) while trapped inside a room for over 800 years (long story). Why did he do this? To have someone to play hangman with of course. His plan fails when the imaginary Deadpool turns out to be a genius and starts totally kicking Deadpool's ass in the game.
** When Gwenpool pulls different versions of herself from the timeline (as a metacommentary on [[DependingOnTheWriter her inconsistent personality]]) in ''[[ComicBook/TheUnbelievableGwenpool Gwenpool Strikes Back]]'' , the other Gwens are embarrassed by the Gwenpool from ''ComicBook/RocketRaccoon and ComicBook/{{Groot}}''.
* In ''ComicBook/{{PS238}},'' some of the characters go to a universe much like theirs, [[{{Mundanization}} but where metahumans don't exist]]. Victor, the genius scion of a supervillain family, is horrified to discover that his alternate self is a ''child pop star.'' (And this, right after mocking someone who likes Justin Bieber.) Similarly, Zodon not only has to deal with his counterpart ''hugging'' him, but getting Cecil's ''Franchise/StarTrek'' reference [[ProudToBeAGeek without even an ounce of shame]].
* In ''ComicBook/TheSandmanOverture'', the many different "aspects" of [[AnthropomorphicPersonification Dream]] are gathered together and immediately start arguing about whether they count as one person or many people. Two Dreams have this side conversation:
-->'''Dream 1:''' Am I always like this?\\
'''Dream 2:''' Like what?\\
'''Dream 1:''' Self-satisfied. Irritating. Self-possessed, and unwilling to concede center stage to anyone but myself.\\
'''Dream 2:''' I believe so, yes. In my experience.\\
'''Dream 1:''' Ah. Fascinating.
* The Creator/DCComics CrisisCrossover ''War of the Gods'' was about a fight between the Greek and Roman gods over who was the ''true'' Olympian Pantheon, with Comicbook/WonderWoman and [[Comicbook/{{Shazam}} Captain Marvel]] as their champions. (Even though the Big Red Cheese gets his half his powers from the Greeks, and only a third from the Romans.) The fallout from the later Crisis Crossover ''Genesis'' would reveal that this was a LiteralSplitPersonality that lasted millenia; the Greek gods created autonomous aspects of themselves to watch over the proto-Romans, and they diverged considerably.
* ''ComicBook/{{Zenith}}'': Zenith takes an instant dislike to his alternate universe self, Vertex, finding him to be smug and irritating. Ironically, our Zenith is the one who’s [[{{Jerkass}} a self-centered prick]], while Vertex is nothing but polite, friendly, and heroic. In other words, [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter he’s everything Zenith isn’t]].
