9** Eleenin, Kai, and Drake, the three stoic human protectors of the planet:

11** Eleenin is TheMcCoy/Id because she puts teamwork above logic, and she believes in the potential of everyone, even if they doubt themselves.

37** Id: Kelly Norris -- Loudmouth EruditeStoner, attempts to stir things up with conspiracy theories, seemingly just for fun.

54** Id: Gringo -- a very moral person who believes that if moral principles are compromised in favour of progress, it is not progress at all.
55** Superego: Harry -- does not consider emotional reasoning to be valid, especially when it concerns science.
56
57* The LetsPlay/{{Yogscast}} - ''The Blackrock Chronicle''
58** Ego: LetsPlay/{{Rythian}} -- Smart and logical, the leader. However, his mood can swing either way.
59** Id: LetsPlay/ZoeyProasheck -- Strange, silly, and unpredictable.
60** Superego: Teep -- Stoic and obedient.
61
62* ''WebVideo/DemoReel'':
63** Superego: Tacoma -- smart and sensible and starts off thinking he's above it all.
64** Id: Rebecca -- slightly insane girl who deals with people thinking she's a bimbo by ObfuscatingStupidity.
65** Ego: Donnie -- tries to act like everything's okay and that he's just an egotistical leech, but is really broken up by his failures and [[MissingMom losses]].

81
82* The three members of the ''The Game Station Podcast'' could be considered this.
83** Id: WebVideo/JesseCox bases his opinions on his gut feelings or emotions, often to the frustration of his co-hosts and viewers.
84** Superego: [[Creator/TheCynicalBrit TotalBiscuit]] goes into a rage now and again, and has a few pet hates that get to him, but is usually rational.
85** Ego: [[WebVideo/PressHeartToContinue Dodger]] seems almost as insane as Jesse most of the time, but when the podcast moves to a serious discussion she often proves to be the most calm and objective of the three.
86** During the ''VideoGame/{{Magicka}}'' playthrough where [=TotalBiscuit=] teamed up with the Yogscast, he played the Ego to Simon's Id and Lewis's Superego.
87
88* There are three ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' "skewer" bloggers on Tumblr who for some reason match this pattern:
89** Id: Apparently [[http://fyeahbadfanvoices.tumblr.com/ The "Homestuck Fan Voices" blog]], due to frequently lacing perfectly good criticism with personal attacks.
90** Superego: Seemingly [[http://fyeahbadhsrp.tumblr.com/ The "Bad Homestuck RP" blog]] is this, for an emerging habit of actually trying to be helpful and above-board despite being, as with the other two bloggers, completely anonymous.
91** Ego: Must thus be [[http://radiofreeinternet.com The "Slum Troller" blog]], for representing the middle ground between the other two blogs and trying to laugh at everything that comes his way.
92
93* ''Podcast/TheLastPodcastOnTheLeft'' describes this idea in episode 386 in terms of con artistry.
94** Id: Henry Zebrowski -- Labeled the "Flim-Flam Man", the person whose passion and emotion help generate interst. Henry is the most prone to outbursts, off-color jokes, and loves the conspiracy theory aspects of topics.
95** Superego: Marcus Parks -- The "Nerd" who keeps the facts straight. Marcus is the group's primary researcher on any given episode, unless the topic caters to Henry's interests. He has his moments of passion but he's the one who lays the story out for us.
96** Ego: Ben Kissel -- Dubbed the "Maud'Dib" by Henry in a reference to ''Literature/{{Dune}}'', Ben acts as the middle-ground between Henry and Marcus, controlling the Flim-Flam man where the Nerd can't while absorbing the facts the Nerd provides.
97
98* ''WebVideo/MonsterIslandBuddies'':
99** Id: Rodan — Erratic, Short-Tempered, and always throws Tantrums

107
108* As of Season 12 of ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue'', we have Epsilon and his memories of the Alpha Fragments.
109** Superego: Delta -- analytical and calculating, being the Alpha's logic
110** Id: Theta -- emotional and childlike, being the Alpha's innocence
111** Ego: Epsilon -- balances between the two, kind of a jerk. Possesses all of the Alpha's memories, and so is the closest to the original Alpha.
112
113* ''Literature/SailorNothing'':
114** Superego: Himei / Sailor Nothing -- TheQuietOne
115** Id: Shin / Sailor Truth -- stubborn, obnoxious, in-your-face PluckyGirl

122
123* ''Literature/TailsOfFame'':
124** Id: Seamus Osgranov — Impulsive, obnoxious, greedy, doesn't think anything through.
125** Superego: Douglas Kevro — Charismatic, intelligent, always plans ahead, and acts friendly and kind in public, [[BitchInSheepsClothing even though he really isn't]].
126** Ego: Rast Racklyn — Acts friendly and kind in public and frequently manages to think situations through before acting. But he occasionally acts brash or impulsive if someone insults him or doesn't agree with him.
127
128* On the ''WebVideo/DreamSMP'', the fan-nicknamed "Bench Trio" counts as one.
129** Id: Tommy -- highly emotional, impulsive, [[{{Determinator}} determined]], [[HotBlooded passionate]], loyal to a fault
130** Superego: Tubbo -- logic-driven, wants to do the right thing even if it hurts those he cares about
131** Ego: Ranboo -- swears allegiance not to countries and organizations, but to people, able to appeal both to Tommy's emotional and Tubbo's logic-driven nature as the middle-ground between the two
132
133* ''Roleplay/WeAreOurAvatars''
134** Ego: Cyber Amy -- Idealistic

141** Id: Mordred -- self-centered, lazy, and generally only moving if there's something in it for him, often amusement
142** Superego: Wiglaf -- the self described "perfect hero," and the one with an emotional need to help people
143** Ego: Driver -- does most of the explanations and lampshading, the laid-back rather than lazy one

146** Ego: Arthur -- The laid-back leader who mediates between the other two
147** Superego: Lancelot -- ultra-moral and perfectionistic
148** Id: Guenevere -- confident, determined, and potentially a source of friction
149*** Interestingly, this is almost certainly a homage to ''Franchise/StarTrek'', at least in the space arc, where Guenevere is the ship's doctor and Arthur, as king, is effectively captain of the ''Excalibur''.

151* ''Webcomic/{{Bomango}}''
152** Id: Gogo -- BoisterousBruiser, irritable/violent, [[MamaBear protective]], BigEater.

173
174* ''Webcomic/{{Freefall}}''
175** Sam (Id), Florence (Superego), and Helix (Ego).
176*** [[FridgeBrilliance In the strictly freudian context]], as Helix is effectively a child and ''both'' Sam and Florence compete for influence above him, [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff400/fv00301.htm as seen in this strip]].
177
178* ''Webcomic/FurthiaHigh''
179** Bruce (Id), Ashley (Ego), and Campy (Superego).

203** ConversationalTroping between the Deaths [[http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/4042.html here]] and [[http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/4053.html here]], with references to other examples. They conclude that Death of Choking on a Giant Frog is the Id, Death of Inhaling Hatmaking Chemicals is the superego, and Death of Insanely Overpowered Fireballs is the ego.

231** Superego: The Mascot -- Calm redhead who manifests as a character in whatever game is played.
232** Ego: Josue Pereira -- A Brazilian with bad luck and too many choices.
233** Argumentatively, since these are not active characters in any storyline (save The Mascot), these three characters could also be heteronyms for the real-life Josue, harkening back to Fernando Pessoa, who developed the concept (and is also Portuguese).
234

236** The half of it left in Azure City when the Order was split up:
237*** Superego: Celia -- a StupidGood ActualPacifist who was out of place in an adventuring party.
