History ThePsychoRangers / ComicBooks

* ''ComicBook/TheOutsiders}}'': In ''ComicBook/BatmanAndTheOutsiders'', Maxie Zeus formed a team called the New Olympians with each member being a counterpart to one of the Outsiders. Specifically:

* In ''ComicBook/RawhideKid: The Sensational Seven'', when the BigBad Cristo Pike learns that the Rawhide Kid and the Seven are coming for him, he recruits a team composed of villainous counterparts of the Seven. These members (and their counterparts) were Bloody Ivan (ComicBook/KidColt), [[SissyVillain the Cabo Kid]] (Rawhide Kid), [[BearsAreBadNews Grizzly Johnson]] (Red Wolf), [[GirlsWithGuns Honey Bee]] (Annie Oakley), [[RevenantZombie Kid Dead]] (Billy the Kid), [[BladeEnthusiast Le Sabre Kid]] (Doc Holliday), and [[{{Ninja}} the Lone Ninja]] (Two-Gun Kid).

* During the "Transfer of Power" arc, ComicBook/TheAuthority were replaced by the G7 Authority, made up of corporate- and government-backed versions of each member. Jenny Sparks was replaced by the Colonel (of Britain); Swift was replaced by Rush (of Canada); Hawksmoor was replaced by The Street (of America); The Engineer was replaced by The Machine (of Japan); Midnighter was replaced by Last Call (of Italy); Apollo was replaced by Teuton (of Germany); and The Doctor was replaced by The Surgeon (of France).
* In ''ComicBook/BatmanAndTheOutsiders'', Maxie Zeus formed a team called the New Olympians with each member being a counterpart to one of the Outsiders. Specifically:

** Diana = ComicBook/{{Katana}}

* The 2018 ''Series/CharliesAngels'' comic book introduces Elka, Naomi and Franzinka, a trio of female assassins collectively known as Helena's Satansbraten.
* ''ComicBook/TheDandy'' featured ''The Jocks & The Geordies''; A strip about two [[FiveManBand Five person teams]] doing everything possible to abuse, beat up, insult and undermine the other team.
* Franchise/TheDCU ''loves'' these. Injustice Society was made up entirely on one-for-one matches with the Justice League of the time.

* Inverted in ''ComicBook/TheFlash'' with the Renegades, a group of 25th century policemen who model themselves after the Rogues, since the 25th century's most dangerous criminal is the Flash's EvilCounterpart.
* Franchise/TheDCU's [[Characters/GLSinestroCorps Sinestro Corps]] is an EvilCounterpart to the ComicBook/GreenLantern Corps, and most of the members of the former are Evil Counterparts to individual members of the latter (sometimes to a ridiculous level). And taken even further with the reveal of new Lantern Corps. Mildly subverted in that most aren't actually evil: the already-mentioned Sinestro Corps is a pretty straight evil example, the Red Lanterns are a berzerker BloodKnight Corps, most of whom have an (actually pretty justified) ax to grind against the Guardians, and Orange Lantern Larfleeze is certainly ''criminal'' but is mostly too [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny distracted by the shiny]] to be truly ''evil''. A handful ([[Characters/GLBlueLanternCorps Blue Lanterns]], [[Characters/GLIndigoTribe Indigo Tribe]], even [[Characters/GLStarSapphireCorps Star Sapphires]]) are friendly, or at least neutral to the Green Lanterns.
* The nineties incarnation of ''ComicBook/HeroesForHire'' once faced a team called Strikeforce One who had been literally cloned from them by the Master of the World. They comprised Demi-God ([[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHercules Hercules]]), Knight Errant (ComicBook/BlackKnight), She-Cat (ComicBook/WhiteTiger), Stinger (ComicBook/AntMan), Dragonfist (ComicBook/IronFist), Behemoth ([[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk The Hulk]]), and Amazon (ComicBook/SheHulk).
* The Characters/{{Incredible Hulk|BruceBanner}}'s EvilTwin, the ComicBook/RedHulk (before his HeelFaceTurn), joined forces with the {{Evil Counterpart}}s of the other [[ComicBook/TheDefenders Defenders]] to form the Offenders: Red Hulk (Hulk); Baron Mordo (ComicBook/DoctorStrange); Tiger Shark (the ComicBook/SubMariner); and Terrax (the ComicBook/SilverSurfer). There's also a Red She-Hulk in the mix.

* The ComicBook/NewAvengers arc of ''ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderManJMichaelStraczynski'' featured a team of evil Avenger doppelgangers working for HYDRA. Their costumes were basically green and yellow palette-swaps of the originals with the HYDRA octopus logo added on. "Militant" for Captain America, "Tactical Force" (though he prefers Karl) for Iron Man, "the Hammer" for Thor and "the Bowman" for Hawkeye. Spidey, of course, pointed out how done-to-death the evil twin thing was, and none of them ever faced their "originals" (albeit Hammer and Bowman had the justified excuse that Thor and Hawkeye were technically dead at this point). None of them were captured, but they haven't shown up since then (except for the Facebook game, ''VideoGame/MarvelAvengersAlliance'').
* James Robinson's ''ComicBook/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica'' run had a team based off Creator/JackKirby's ComicBook/NewGods. The truly bizarre thing is that this was a team of Psycho Rangers that ''never actually encountered'' their heroic counterparts, as they debuted after the death of the New Gods during ''ComicBook/{{Countdown|ToFinalCrisis}}'' and ''ComicBook/FinalCrisis''.

* In Creator/MarvelComics, the U-Foes are explicitly described as Psycho Rangers to the ComicBook/FantasticFour, with identical origins (though not identical powers; the only one that comes close enough is Ironclad to the Thing), although they usually fight the Characters/{{Incredible Hulk|BruceBanner}} (he interfered in the events that gave them their powers as they tried to deliberately recreate the FF's origin).

** The ComicBook/DarkAvengers are an interesting example; a supposed hero team who are actually ''posing'' as their counterparts. In addition to ComicBook/{{Ares|Marvel}} and ComicBook/TheSentry as themselves (going along with it because one's morally ambiguous and the other's just plain nuts -- though Ares replaces [[Characters/TheMightyThorThorOdinson Thor]] and/or [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHercules Hercules]] to some extent), the line-up includes Venom (Mac Gargan, previously known as Scorpion) as ComicBook/SpiderMan, Moonstone as [[ComicBook/CarolDanvers Ms. Marvel]], Noh-Varr as ComicBook/{{Captain Marvel|MarvelComics}}, [[Characters/DaredevilCentralRoguesGallery Bullseye]] as ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}} and ComicBook/{{Daken}} as ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}. Norman leads the team as the ComicBook/IronMan-ComicBook/CaptainAmerica mashup Iron Patriot.
*** Osborn later revives the Dark Avengers concept with a new team featuring Skaar, Son of Hulk (The Hulk/Red Hulk); Hawkeye's brother Trickshot (ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}}, duh); The Gorgon, Wolverine's deadliest enemy (ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}); Ragnarok, a robotic clone of Thor infamously created by Tony Stark's side during ''ComicBook/{{Civil War|2006}}'' ([[Characters/TheMightyThorThorOdinson Thor]]); Ai Apaec, a sinister sort of arachnid god (ComicBook/SpiderMan); June Covington, a deranged geneticist Osborn met in prison (Characters/ScarletWitch); and Superia, a StrawFeminist MadScientist with super strength (ComicBook/MsMarvel). Norman himself becomes the new [[AllYourPowersCombined Super-Adaptoid]], making him the only Dark Avenger without any real analogue. [[spoiler:Skaar turns out to subvert his role, being Captain America's [[TheMole Mole]] in the team.]] John Walker, aka ComicBook/USAgent, has occasionally been a member of such a team as a counterpart to Characters/{{Captain America|TitleCharacter}}. However these Dark Avengers didn't match up well with the actual Avengers they faced. For instance, there was no counterpart for ComicBook/LukeCage in either incarnation, and neither team of Dark Avengers actually fought a team with Hawkeye or Scarlet Witch as members. Likewise there was no Hulk on the team when Skaar was part of the Dark Avengers, and so on.
** The Cabal are Psycho Rangers to ComicBook/IronMan's Illuminati: Norman himself takes Tony's place, and the rest are [[Characters/MarvelComicsEmmaFrost Emma Frost]] ([[Characters/MarvelComicsProfessorX Professor X]]); [[Characters/MarvelComicsDoctorDoom Doctor Doom]] ([[Characters/FantasticFourTheFantasticFour Mister Fantastic]]); [[Characters/MarvelComicsLoki Loki]] ([[Characters/TheInhumans Black Bolt]] of ComicBook/TheInhumans); ComicBook/TheHood (ComicBook/DoctorStrange); and [[ComicBook/SubMariner Namor]] (er, [[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor Namor]]). Then come Utopia, Emma and Namor reveal their intentions and leave the Cabal, so Osborn has to pick up someone to fill the spot. Apparently ComicBook/{{Taskmaster}} was the next best option.

*** Carried to its [[JustForPun ultimate]] extreme in ''ComicBook/UltimateFantasticFour'', where the Frightful Four are the counterparts of the regular (read Ultimate, in this case) FF from another universe, just with about fifteen more years of experience. Oh yeah, and they're ''[[ComicBook/MarvelZombies flesh-eating zombies]]''.

* Inverted in ''Franchise/TheFlash'' with the Renegades, a group of 25th century policemen who model themselves after the Rogues, since the 25th century's most dangerous criminal is the Flash's EvilCounterpart.
* Franchise/TheDCU's [[Characters/GLSinestroCorps Sinestro Corps]] is an EvilCounterpart to the Franchise/GreenLantern Corps, and most of the members of the former are Evil Counterparts to individual members of the latter (sometimes to a ridiculous level).

** The Black Marvel Family, ComicBook/BlackAdam's equivalent to [[ComicBook/{{Shazam}} Captain Marvel]]'s [[TrueCompanions group of friends]]: Black Adam for Cap himself, Isis for Comicbook/MaryMarvel, and Osiris for Captain Marvel Jr. (even though Isis had a very different relationship with Adam than the one Mary Marvel has with Marvel). Although, while they existed, Black Adam was on a HeelFaceTurn, so they weren't Evil Counterparts so much as Dark Counterparts.

* In the ''Comicbook/HeroesReborn2021'' take on ''Dark Reign'', Goblin's attempt to take over the US is presented as a bizarre Joker-style caper, but he still has a Dark [[Comicbook/SquadronSupreme Squadron]] by his side: Comicbook/TheSentry for Hyperion, Comicbook/{{Valkyrie|MarvelComics}} for Power Princess, Comicbook/MoonKnight for Nighthawk, Comicbook/{{Nova}} for Dr Spectrum and [[Comicbook/GhostRider Ghost Runner]] for the Blur.

Likewise there was no Hulk on the team when Skaar was part of the Dark Avengers, and so on.

* And for all of Osborn's "Dark" teams, it should be noted that those were just [[IAmNotShazam the titles of the books]]. Osborn was a VillainWithGoodPublicity and the public (and most any individual member you're surprised to see on these lists) thought they were truly there to do good. All this is in the aftermath of ComicBook/CivilWar, and Osborn was promoting his teams as the ''only'' real Avengers, etc. unlike those outlaws who were operating without the legal right to do so.

** The Cabal are Psycho Rangers to ComicBook/IronMan's Illuminati: Norman himself takes Tony's place, and the rest are [[Characters/EmmaFrostWhiteQueen Emma Frost]] ([[Characters/MarvelComicsProfessorX Professor X]]); [[Characters/MarvelComicsDoctorDoom Doctor Doom]] ([[Characters/FantasticFourTheFantasticFour Mister Fantastic]]); [[Characters/MarvelComicsLoki Loki]] ([[Characters/TheInhumans Black Bolt]] of ComicBook/TheInhumans); ComicBook/TheHood (ComicBook/DoctorStrange); and [[ComicBook/SubMariner Namor]] (er, [[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor Namor]]). Then come Utopia, Emma and Namor reveal their intentions and leave the Cabal, so Osborn has to pick up someone to fill the spot. Apparently ComicBook/{{Taskmaster}} was the next best option.

* In one of the ''ComicBook/XMen First Class'' issues, the random kids in the coffee shop who correctly guess the team's orders before they're made (and just-so-happen to resemble the team greatly) turn out to be Skrull imposters that have been masquerading as the X-Men and causing havoc.
* The Dark X-Men feature: Dark Beast (ComicBook/{{Beast|MarvelComics}}), Mimic ([[ComicBook/WarrenWorthingtonIII Angel]], [[Characters/MarvelComicsCyclops Cyclops]]; he has the powers of the original five), ComicBook/{{Daken}} (Wolverine), ComicBook/{{Mystique}} ([[Characters/MarvelComicsJeanGrey Jean Grey]]). When Characters/{{Emma Frost|WhiteQueen}} was a member, she was the counterpart of Professor X, as both a psychic and a teacher.

* The ComicBook/{{Shadowpact}} (DCU ''again'') has the Pentacle, set up by a witch called Strega, which "just happened" to feature counterparts to the magical heroes. (Strega herself is the counterpart to the Enchantress; Jack of Fire to ComicBook/BlueDevil [and turns out to be [[LukeIAmYourFather his brother]]; Sister Shadow to ComicBook/{{Nightshade}}; Bagman to ComicBook/{{Ragman}}; Karnevil to Detective Chimp (kinda); and White Rabbit to Nightmaster.) However, in-universe the similarities are commented upon by Bagman, who notes that it felt as if this version of the Shadowpact was composed specifically to handle the Pentacle. In a sense, the Shadowpact can be viewed as ''good'' Psycho Rangers, making this an InvertedTrope.

* In the ''Comicbook/HeroesReborn2021'' take on ''Dark Reign'', Goblin's attempt to take over the US is presented as a bizarre Joker-style caper, but he still has a Dark [[Comicbook/SquadronSupreme Squadron]] by his side: Comicbook/TheSentry for Hyperion, Comicbook/{{Valkyrie|MarvelComics}} for Warrior Woman, Comicbook/MoonKnight for Nighthawk, Comicbook/{{Nova}} for Dr Spectrum and [[Comicbook/GhostRider Ghost Runner]] for the Blur.

*** ''Comicbook/HeroesReborn2021'' takes place in a universe where the Comicbook/SquadronSupreme have supplanted the Avengers as Earth's premier superhero team. As such, a flashback reveals that, in this reality, Osborn instead led the Dark Squadron against his enemies. The team consisted of the Sentry (Hyperion), Comicbook/MoonKnight (Nighthawk), [[Characters/MarvelComicsValkyrior Valkyrie]] (Warrior Woman), [[Comicbook/GhostRider Ghost Runner]] (Whizzer) and Comicbook/{{Nova}} (Doctor Spectrum).

* The 2018 ''Series/CharliesAngels'' comic book introduces Elka, Naomi and Franzinka, a trio of female assassins who are collectively known as Helena's Satansbraten.

* ''ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes'' has the Legion of Super Villains, which features some original villains, but in all incarnations features Lightning Lord, the older brother of Legionnaire Lightning Lad. The comic versions usually also feature Cosmic King and Saturn Queen, counterparts of ComicBook/CosmicBoy and Saturn Girl, and, rarely, Chameleon Chief and Sun Emperor, counterparts of Chameleon Boy and Sun Boy.

* In ''ComicBook/RawhideKid: The Sensational Seven'', when the BigBad Cristo Pike learns that the Rawhide Kid and the Seven are coming for him, he recruits a team composed of villainous counterparts of the Seven. These members (and their counterparts) were [[AnAxeToGrind Bloody Ivan]] (ComicBook/KidColt), [[SissyVillain the Cabo Kid]] (Rawhide Kid), [[BearsAreBadNews Grizzly Johnson]] (Red Wolf), [[GirlsWithGuns Honey Bee]] (Annie Oakley), [[RevenantZombie Kid Dead]] (Billy the Kid), [[BladeEnthusiast Le Sabre Kid]] (Doc Holliday), and [[{{Ninja}} the Lone Ninja]] (Two-Gun Kid).

* ComicBook/{{Deathstroke}}'s "Titans East" of ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'' comics, which included The Match, an evil clone of ComicBook/{{Superboy}} (who had, by this point, degenerated into as good a clone of Superboy as Bizarro is of Franchise/{{Superman}}); Inertia, an evil clone of Kid [[Franchise/TheFlash Flash]], and Kid Crusader, who is...[[MyFriendsAndZoidberg the only person Slade could find who had ever heard of Kid Devil while also wanting to kill him]]. They also had Joker's Daughter, Enigma (both chose to style themselves after their inspirations the same way Tim Drake sought out Batman, although Deathstroke probably didn't know that), a brainwashed ComicBook/{{Batgirl|2000}} for ComicBook/{{Robin|Series}}, and Risk (a former Titan who lost his arm and decided against a prosthetic) for ComicBook/{{Cyborg}}.

** The gay magician [[Characters/YoungAvengersTitleTeam Wiccan]]'s counterpart is the female sorceress Enchantress (a younger Asgardian wannabe who is not [[Characters/MarvelComicsTheEnchantress the one we know and love from Thor.]])
** The ActionGirl [[Characters/HawkeyeTitleCharacter Hawkeye II]] meets the Executioner II, a PsychoForHire; both are {{Badass Normal}}s.
** [[Characters/AntManHeroes Stature]] faces Big Zero, a BadassBookworm LegacyCharacter against a DarkActionGirl and racist. Both are size-changers.

* In ''ComicBook/RawhideKid: The Sensational Seven'', when the BigBad Cristo Pike learns that the Rawhide Kid and the Seven are coming for him, he recruits a team composed of villainous counterparts of the Seven. These members (and their counterparts) were [[AnAxeToGrind Bloody Ivan]] (ComicBook/KidColt), [[SissyVillain the Cabo Kid]] (Rawhide Kid), [[BearsAreBadNews Grizzly Johnson]] (Red Wolf), [[GirlsWithGuns Honey Bee]] (Annie Oakley), [[RevenantZombie Kid Dead]] (Billy the Kid), [[KnifeNut Le Sabre Kid]] (Doc Holliday), and [[{{Ninja}} the Lone Ninja]] (Two-Gun Kid).

* The Infinite Comics' comic book tie-in to ''WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan'' had a five issue story, Rival Schools, about the Maggia forming a team of teenage supervillains who each paralleled someone from ComicBook/NickFury's ComicBook/{{SHIELD}} training program. The group consisted of Arachnikid (Spider-Man), Dark Matter (ComicBook/{{Nova}}), Overcharge ([[ComicBook/LukeCage Power Man]]), Black Bunny (ComicBook/WhiteTiger) and Skull Punch (ComicBook/IronFist).
