# Characters.XMenRoguesGalleryAToI: A clone of Andrea is eventually created by Arnim Zola to allow her brother to access the powers of Fenris again, and they might both be clones now judging by their mysterious return.
# Characters.XWingSeries: Fel proved to be very popular, and in the Hand of Thrawn duology, he was revealed to be the template for a sleeper cell of clones that Thrawn placed.
# TrademarkFavoriteFood.AnimeAndManga: All variants and incarnations of Desty Nova (except the uber-evil Super Nova as of the moment) of Battle Angel Alita have an infamous love for flan. It goes to such lengths that Super Nova’s apparent lack of a flan-eating habit has become the indication of his evilness.
# YMMV.{{Wolverines}}: The Gripses casual disregard when Shogun kills one of them. Except for one, who calls him a monster. The fact that Sinister used Ben Reilly as a cloning template. The cover to issue 13: Deadpool with garden tools strapped to his hands for claws, and a bird taped to his face with its wings outstretched to resemble Logan's hair.
# Fanfic.TheQuestForTheLegends: The trainers of Cleanwater Gym have cloned legendaries.
# Webcomic.SwitcherooAU: This version of Pearl weaponizes her holopearls in combat.
# Characters.BladeSkillOnline: Four days before the "Demon King vs Goddess" event, she brings in the better part of a million new players, via live-streams, advertising, and just straight up bribes and outfits them like knock-off Yuri and Zancrow templates and has them launch countless ambushes on Yuri's allies, purely for the sake of demoralizing Yuri himself, before the start of the event. The backfire is utterly epic, as Yuri winds up crying Tears of Joy at the sheer level of planning and deviousness such a strategy requires, then goes and teaches all those haughty hacks their place, because as the one who pioneered the Lethal Joke Character build they're emulating, he knows all their weaknesses.
# Characters.SentinelsOfTheMultiverseVillainsIToW: The Skinwalker Crisis Crossover has Gloomweaver raise Spite from the dead, then assume direct control of his corpse as part of his plan to return to the world of the living... or that's what was supposed to happen, had the OblivAeon event not cut the Skinwalker storyline short in the metafiction. With Spite dead again and Gloomweaver trapped in the oblivion shard of Doctor Medico, neither play any part in the battle with OblivAeon (on either side), the game's only non-team villains other than the Chairman not to appear. Of course, at least in the Tactics timeline, that means it's time to create a small army of drug-fueled Spite clones after the fact.
# Funny.Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers2022Bloopers: Tari defeating Mario's side character [=NFTs=] by making Whimpu Simp for her Dark Magician Girl card.

# Characters.GuildWars2ElderDragons: IndustrializedEvil: Despite being associated with nature, Mordremoth is arguably this. It has strong Lawful Evil tendencies, as evidenced by its scheming, and instead of chaotic and uncontrolled corruption of other Elder Dragons, the way its Mordrem are created is equal parts gruesome and efficient - see SendInTheClones below.
# Characters.MarvelComicsSabretooth: JokerImmunity: While most villains with a Healing Factor qualify for this by default, being Wolverine's penultimate villain gives ol' Sabes a VIP case, with two absolutely confirmed deaths on his record that he came back from and tons of Never Found the Body cases. Of special note is Creed's 2007 death in Wolverine's solo title, which saw him decapitated with the Murasama Blade (a sword specifically forged to kill people with healing factors) and later being shown in hell just to establish him as being very definitely Deader than Dead. Comics being what they are, the reset button was eventually pushed on this, with the laughable Hand Wave that it was just a clone that Wolverine killed and not the real thing (which is semi-plausible given the SendInTheClones example below, but you'd figure if anyone could tell the difference between the real Creed and one of his clones that it would be Logan).

# Film.IronManFilms: A major motif in the sequel, where different rogue states, corporations and individuals try to create their own, preferably mass-produced Iron Men, with varying (lack of) success. Foreshadowed in the first movie: Raza, the terrorist leader, asks Obadiah Stane for "a gift of iron soldiers" based on Tony Stark's suit.Also foreshadowed by Raza's 'iron soldiers' comment, Iron Legion.

He uses a Banishment Device to warp one to a random location on the map, to make the room merely bullshit rather than straight-up Unwinnable. Later, while leaving the piston room after opening up the Secret Level, he runs into the Wendigo on the elevator. Cue death.

# GameBreaker.SurvivalHorror: Since the game allows Co-Op and characters aren't locked when choosed by another player, having a team of 4 Sam B's is entirely possible

Queen Cosmos, said clone, stabs him in the back, though. Discord does this AGAIN in ch.115, as he recreates the Mane Six's clones, along with clones of Ryoga, Ranma, and Shampoo with fake memories based on the fake memories trick Discord pulled as Discord's last gambit to stop them from restoring Akane's memories.

# Fanfic.StreetsOfRageSaga: Spoken verbatim by Shiva.
# Narm.GoAnimate: "Eric's Strange Journey (Part 2)", the second part of a satirical movie based around common GoAnimate tropes, has a whole segment where the titular character encounters an identical group of bizarre, Gonk-ish characters called the 'Grunses' that can only scream the phrase "GROUNDED GROUNDED GROUNDED", and it all goes downhill from there. The movie's antagonist 'teleports' Eric to a 'pocket dimension', which becomes a Big-Lipped Alligator Moment set in a 'collapsing dream' complete with a melodramatic Final Speech from a fading Gonk-ish Bartender, and finally, a conclusion that ultimately does nothing to advance the plot, as it was All Just a Dream. Eric himself lampshades it all after waking up.
# Fridge.NeonGenesisEvangelion: it's due to her being replaceable in the most literal sense possible. And he knows this. One could only wonder how far he took his leverage...
