->''After 30 long years, finally, the two of us meet. The brother of light...and the brother of dark.''
-->-'''Liquid Snake''', ''MetalGearSolid''

In real life, siblings hardly ever act the same. Fiction sometimes takes this to an extreme.

Enter SiblingYinYang, the occurrence of siblings that are nearly polar opposites. If he's cool and reckless, she's responsible and thoughtful. If she's a spiky-haired hooligan, he's the nerdy wimpy one. If he's an immature brat, she's... well, you get the picture.

The even more extreme form leads to DifferentAsNightAndDay, or even EvilTwin. When this leads to complete antagonism, it becomes CainAndAbel. See also TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry .

!!Examples

[[folder: Anime ]]

* Al and Ed from ''FullMetalAlchemist''.
** The anime and light novels also have Fletcher and Russel Tringham, who present many parallels with the Elric brothers.
*** So much so that not only do they impersonate the Elrics at least twice, there's a certain amount of Sibling Yin Yang between respective imposters-the Tringhams fulfill a certain amount of the ''expectation'' of what you're going to get with the Elrics, which is quite different from what you actually get. Aside from the fact that each Tringham has an ego that matches his respective Elric.
* Tiff and Tuff in the ''{{Kirby}}'' anime.
* Kyou and Ryou in ''{{CLANNAD}}''; Kyou is a violent {{tsundere}}, Ryou a shy ClassRepresentative.
** Interestingly enough, Kyou is also class representative in her class.
** [[{{Expy}} Same deal]] with Kagami and Tsukasa (respectively) from ''LuckyStar''
*** To further [[ThisTroper This Troper's]] suspicions of an [[strike:{{Expy}}]] KyoAni ShoutOut, Tsukasa has a very similar hairstyle to Ryou. With the same [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair hair color]] to boot.
*** Does this mean that Ryou is an {{Expy}} of Akari Kamigishi, by transivity?
*** No. She and Tomoya are definitely not the OfficialCouple.
* ''MermaidMelodyPichiPichiPitch'' uses it repeatedly. Caren is a brooding, grudge-holding BrokenBird, while her twin sister Noel is a forgiving, self-sacrificing YamatoNadeshiko. When Caren got nicer and, as a result, dropped OutOfFocus, she became a loud party girl to keep the opposite dynamic going. There's also [[spoiler:Kaito and Gackto, of the CainAndAbel variety, as well as one being a friendly joker and the other a WhiteHairedPrettyBoy]]. Lucia and Nikora, though only posing as sisters, fit it too with TheDitz versus the TeamMom. In fact, it's even lampshaded in the Black Beauty Sisters, who are [[MinionShipping also definitely not sisters]].
* Miki and Kozue from ''RevolutionaryGirlUtena''.
* In ''LuckyStar'', Konata lampshaded two pairs: [[{{Tsundere}} Kagami]] / [[TheDitz Tsukasa]] and [[GenkiGirl Yui]] / [[IllGirl Yutaka]]. Konata hypothesized this trope is caused by one sibling absorbing attributes from the other sibling.
** Well, [[{{Tsurime}} Kagami]] and [[{{Tareme}} Tsukasa]] have different [[GoodEyesEvilEyes eye shapes]].
** Taken out of context by [[{{Pettanko}} Minami]], who says that [[MoeMoe Miyuki]] [[MostCommonSuperpower Takara]] must have absorbed [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean something else]] from her, by virtue of being next door neighbors
* Light and his sister in ''DeathNote''. Their only common points are that they are both good-looking and respected. She is a nice, ordinary person, he is a freakishly intelligent WellIntentionedExtremist with sociopathic tendencies and a [[AGodAmI god complex]].
* Twin examples: Risa and Riku in ''{{DNAngel}}''; Vash and Knives in ''{{Trigun}}''; Abel and Cain in ''{{TrinityBlood}}''; Metatron and Sandalphon in ''{{AngelSanctuary}}''; [[spoiler:Chrno and Aion/Ion]] in ''ChronoCrusade''; Suboshi and Amiboshi in FushigiYuugi. Also note that as is often the case for the twin archetype, which some scholars view as a sub-category of the hermaphrodite archetype (seriously), one twin is gendered more 'feminine' (Risa, Vash, Abel, [[spoiler:Chrno]], arguably Metatron) and the other more 'masculine' (Riku, Knives, Cain, [[spoiler:Aion]], Sandalphon). (This has nothing to do with sexual orientation!)
** This trope is even lampshaded by the twins in ''{{DNAngel}}'':
-->'''Riku:''' We have absolutely ''nothing'' in common!
-->'''Risa:''' Nothing at all!
* Another twin example: Yoh and Hao from Shaman King. Hao is an evil twin.
* How come nobody has mentioned the twins Soma and Kanna from Devil&Devil, Soma is a weak ocult otaku and kanna is a violent rebel, it doesnt help that they each get possesed by the devil Sword and the angel Ios respectibly.
* Yoh and Minatsuki in ''DeadmanWonderland'' are an interesting case: both are liars, cowards, and opportunists, but Yoh ''may'' be fundamentally a caring guy while his sister is a {{Yandere}}.
* Jun Ushiro and his sister Kana in ''{{Bokurano}}''. She is sweet, shy and forgiving, he is violent and brooding.
* Yoh and his sister in ''HighSchoolDebut''.
** On that note, Akito and ''his'' [[http://www.onemanga.com/Koukou_Debut/40/21/ sister]] fit the bill as well.
* Tetsunosuke and Tatsunosuke in ''PeacemakerKurogane''.
* Hansel and Gretel in ''LudwigKakumei''... somewhat.
* Anna and Johan in ''{{Monster}}''. Anna is outgoing, helpful and an idealistic humanist. Johan is quiet, introspective, manipulative and an utter sociopath.
* Yuki and Ayame in ''FruitsBasket''. Ayame is the AlwaysCamp AloofBigBrother, while Yuki is the WhitePrince with an InstantFanclub. Yuki doesn't find Ayame very bearable, while Ayame insists he's showing support for his younger brother. He really doesn't get it.
* In HajimeNoIppo, there's Kumi Mashiba, Ippo's main love-interest and a YamatoNadeshiko to boot. And then there's her big brother, Ryo 'The Executioner' Mashiba, an angry and brooding boxer who eagerly uses intimidation-tactics and fouls to beat down his opponents, and just generally comes across as a borderline psychopath. About the only person who's NOT scared of him is Kumi, who have been known to slap him to the floor when he got out of hand. [[spoiler: There's also the fact that Mashiba practically raised Kumi ever since they were orphaned in an accident, so only she and one of his bosses know how hard Mashiba has worked to take care of her. The scene where this softer side of his' was shown was quite the TearJerker in the anime.]]
* Yuma and Yuna Kashiwagi from ''PaniPoniDash''. Yuma is an extreme extrovert (and borderline {{Yandere}}), Yuna is an extreme introvert. Yuma goes so far as to actively sabotage Yuna's attempts at being more accepted just to keep eyes on her.
* The Chizeta princesses from MagicKnightRayearth: Tarta the younger is loud, rude, and HotBlooded while Tatra the elder is quiet, polite, and a total pushover ([[ObfuscatingStupidity apparently]]), which is probably why the younger sister seems to be the leader.
* Ikki (rough, aloof, JerkWithAHeartOfGold) and Shun (gentle, MartialPacifist, selfless) in ''Saint Seiya''
* In ''AxisPowersHetalia'', North and South Italy fit this trope; North Italy is [[TheDitz ditzy]], cheerful, and friendly, while South Italy is [[{{Tsundere}} more reserved and unfriendly]], especially towards North Italy's [[HoYay partner in crime]] Germany and his ex-caretaker, Spain. Switzerland and Liechtenstein also fit this trope, with Switzerland being a [[MoodSwinger moody]] [[TheGunslinger gunslinger]] and Liechtenstein being a [[YamatoNadeshiko gentle and kind]] TokenLoli.
** Also, America and Canada: The first is a loud, outgoing mix of {{Eagleland}} archtypes and BoisterousBruiser; the second is much more quiet, sensible, and [[CanadaEh overlooked]].
** Germany and Prussia, too. Germany being a PerpetualFrowner NeatFreak and Prussia being a HotBlooded JerkAss.
* Nove and Wendi of ''MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'', the inseperable red-headed duo amongst the [[SecretProjectRefugeeFamily Numbers sisters]], [[spoiler: [[TimeSkip and later]], amongst the Nakajima sisters]], with [[PerpetualFrowner Nove as the always angry one]] and [[GenkiGirl Wendi as the always happy one]].
* Kouichi Kimura and Kouji Minamoto of ''DigimonFrontier''. Aside from being twins, the holders of the spirits of Light and Darkness, and having the entire SeparatedAtBirth thing going for them, there's even an episode named "The Brothers Yin and Yang."
* The Nitori siblings of ''HourouMusuko'' couldn't be more different. Big Sister Maho is outgoing and pushy. Little Brother Shuichi is timid and even [[WholesomeCrossdresser feminine]]. This actually gets [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by the pair's father, who relates to Shu a story of their grandmother betting Maho would be a boy and Shu a girl before they were born. Given the family's recent discovery of [[WholesomeCrossdresser Shu's]] [[{{Transsexual}} issues]], Nitori Sr. wonders if Grandma was really so wrong about them.
* HotBlooded FieryRedhead Apollo and DefrostingIceQueen PaleSkinnedBrunette Artemis in {{Cyborg 009}}.
* ''ShinkyokuSoukaiPolyphonica'' has the Yugiri sisters. Persete is the outgoing one, Prinesca is the shy one.
* Ace and Luffy on ''OnePiece''. Ace is more level-headed and polite than his brash and [[TheDitz bordering on brain-dead]] little brother. Even Luffy's crew have expressed disbelief at how different Ace is from their captain.
**[[spoiler:It has been revealed, however, that Luffy and Ace aren't actually siblings.]]
* Fran and Victoria Madaraki of ''FrankenFran'' were outright [[ArtificialHuman made to be this]]. Fran was made to preserve life (which can lead to [[FateWorseThanDeath unpleasant results]]); Victoria was made to end it (which she prefers to do swiftly and painlessly). Fran tries to put Victoria more on her side of the scale, but so far, no dice.
* Paul/Shinji,from {{Pokemon}},and his brother,Reggie/Reiji.
* Fuka and Fumika Narutaki of ''MahouSenseiNegima''. The former's the trouble-making class pankster while the latter's constantly worried about how the former's pranks will get them in trouble as she gets dragged along.
* Much like Luffy and Ace above, Yui and Ui Hirasawa of ''[=~K-On!~=]'' are a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} and mature young lady respectively.
* Umehito Nekkozawa and his younger sister Kirimi from ''OuranHighSchoolHostClub''. He's dark, brooding and extremely photosensitive, while she's cheerful, outgoing, and hates dark places.
* Shion and Mion from ''HigurashiNoNakuKoroNi''. Shion is more laidback and polite then her tomboyish twin sister. [[spoiler:However, it is later seen that ''Shion'' is the tomboy, and Mion is the more feminine one. It's [[TwinSwitch complicated]].]]
* [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience Black and White]] of ''TekkonKinkreet''. Black is violent and territorial and White is childish and innocent. The fact that they need each other to balance out the pair is repeated often throughout the film and becomes a plot point.
* The Tomokanes--[[NoNameGiven both without a name]]--in ''GAGeijutsukaArtDesignClass''. The younger Tomokane is a {{Bokukko}}, while her elder brother is an [[IllBoy frail]] NonActionGuy. This is {{lampshade}}d when the younger Tomokane's class teacher first saw the older Tomokane, and commented how the two's characters complement each other.
* Minatsu and Mafuyu Shiina in ''SeitokaiNoIchizon''. Minatsu is busty, loves sports and isn't afraid to speak her mind. Mafuyu is petite and quiet.


[[/folder]]

[[folder: Comic Books ]]

* Charles Xavier and Cain Marko in ''{{X-Men}}''. And that's before you get into how they are, respectively, the most mentally powerful and the most physically powerful people in the world...
** Xavier also has Cassandra Nova, who literally exists to be his polar opposite in absolutely everything.
* Suntop and Ember in {{ElfQuest}}.
* Hawk and Dove from ''JusticeLeague'', who are also as different as [[RedOniBlueOni Red and Blue.]]
* Comicbook/{{Batman}}'s two sons, Tim "Robin" Drake (adopted) and Damian al Ghul (biological), in recent comics. Tim is logical, cool-headed, and always follows Batman's example by never killing, while Damian is rash, violent, and thinks nothing of killing his enemies. They slug it out pretty much every time they meet.
** You could extend that to Tim Drake and Nightwing (Dick Grayson). Nightwing can be logical, but he's more hot-tempered and his creation of 'Nightwing' directly extended from him rebelling against Batman. Tim and Dick act like actual brothers though, unlike Damian.
* The (otherwise unnamed) Two Brothers from ''Marvel vs. DC'' - one was the Living Embodiment of the {{Marvel}} Multiverse, the other was the Living Embodiment of the [[DCUniverse DC]] Multiverse. When they became (re)aware of each others existence, they each decided to destroy the other. [[spoiler:They made up in the end, because StatusQuoIsGod (Literally, in this case).]]

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Film ]]

* Dash and Violet in ''TheIncredibles''.
* Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen in their movies.
* Jamal and Salim of ''SlumdogMillionaire''.
* According to their Tech Specs [[TransformersFilmSeries Skids and Mudflap]] are this... with the caveat that they're ''both'' quite stupid. Skids merely ''believes'' he's the smart one.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Literature ]]

* Connor and Grace of ''{{Vampirates}}''
* Every sibling pair in {{The Moomins}}
* Jake and Tom in ''{{Animorphs}}''. One (Jake) is fighting to save the world and one (Tom) is a Controller whose Yeerk is trying to take over the world, though the real Tom is probably more Jake-like.
* Sansa and Arya Stark in ASongOfIceAndFire. They even look completely different (Sansa is a beautiful redhead like her mother, Arya is longfaced and darkhaired like her father.)
** Also, the vicious Joffrey Baratheon and his gentler little brother Tommen.
* Similarly, princes Peter and Thomas in '' The Eyes of the Dragon'' by StephenKing (Peter is fit and raven-haired like their mother while Thomas is chubby and sandy-haired like their father).
* Elinor - the sense - and Marianne - the sensibility, an archaic word for romanticism, in ''SenseAndSensibility''.
** Also in Austen, ''PrideAndPrejudice'' contrasts intelligent, aware, Elizabeth with her vain, shallow sisters Kitty/Lydia, and all of the sisters with Mary - austere and studious, yet stupid.
** ''{{Persuasion}}'' fatures radically different Eliot sisters, Anne being friendly, pleasant, and down-to-earth, and her two sisters being selfish hypochondriacs.
* Thom and Alanna in ''[[TortallUniverse Song of the Lioness]].'' Thom likes to do magic but hates swordplay. Alanna, his twin sister, likes swordplay but initially fears and detests her magic.
** Jory and Nia from Cold Fire surely count as well.
* Lady Envy and Anomander Rake from ''TheMalazanBookOfTheFallen'': She's TheVamp, he's a [[TheStoic stoic]] BloodKnight.
* Most sibling relationships in ''HarryPotter'' follow this to some extent, such as Sirius (hates his [[FantasticRacism pureblood-obsessed]] family and eventually runs away from home) and Regulus (proud to be part of said family), Bellatrix (fanatically devoted to [[BigBad Voldemort]]) and Narcissa (secretly terrified of him), et cetera.
*Leafpool and Squirrelflight in ''WarriorCats'', especially during The Second Series.
* {{Fablehaven}} has Kendra and Seth Sorenson. Kendra is smart, cautious, and thoughtful, Seth is arrogant, energetic, and brave to the point of stupidity.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Live Action TV ]]

* Claire and Lyle, as well as Nathan and Peter, from ''Series/{{Heroes}}''.
** Hiro and his older sister Kimiko, with Hiro being idealistic, child-like, and bored by the prospect of being a businessman like his father; Kimiko is intelligent, motivated, and ambitious in regards to taking a place within the family's company.
* Chuck and Ellie in ''{{Chuck}}''.
* Betty and Hilda and of ''UglyBetty''.
* J.D. and Dan in ''{{Scrubs}}''.
* Sam and Dean in ''{{Supernatural}}''.
* Aunts Lily and Vivian in ''PushingDaisies'' are both eccentric shut-ins, but the similarities end there.
* The Booth brothers from {{Bones}} - Booth the elder likes his comfort zone while Booth the younger is flashy and much more upwardly mobile.
* The Girls and the Boys from ''JonAndKatePlusEight'' (the somewhat bossy Girls take after their mother while the more laid-back Boys take after their father)
* Megan and Lily in ''{{Privileged}}'' and, to a lesser extent, Rose and Sage.
*{{Firefly}} The Tams. Simon is cooler and calmer and more disciplined, and River is more sensitive and(for obvious reasons)more erratic. On the other hand, she is physically more powerful.
*{{Numb3rs}} Don is more "Jock-like" and Charlie is more "Geek-like".
*In the first season of ''TheBigBangTheory'', the twin sister of the gawky, socially awkward nerd Sheldon is revealed to be a gorgeous, statuesque SouthernBelle.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Video Games ]]

* Rin and Len Kagamine from the ''Vocaloid'' (and HatsuneMix) series.
* Mario and Luigi of ''SuperMarioBros'', thanks to Luigi's increased {{Luigification}} as a coward over the last 10 years.
* Crash and Coco of {{CrashBandicoot}}
* Prometheus and Pandora of {{Mega Man ZX}}
* Starfy and Starpy of TheLegendaryStarfy.
* Palom and Porom from ''FinalFantasyIV''.
* Edgar and Mash/Sabin from ''FinalFantasyVI''.
** Edgar and Sabin are hardly polar opposites... they are both supremely confident extroverts, for one thing. The only difference is how devoted to duty they are.
*** Maybe in their presentations, though - Sabin's a brawny bare-handed [[BareFistedMonk fighter-type]], Edgar's a flirty [[GadgeteerGenius inventor]] who moonlights as a king.
* March and Salsa from ''EternalSonata'', due to the game's light/shadow mechanic in battles, they are quite literally DifferentAsNightAndDay.
* Lucas and Claus from ''{{Mother 3}}''
* Yun and Yang from StreetFighter III: Third Strike. Yun is loud and outgoing, while Yang is quiet and introverted. Also, Yun focuses on the strength of his attacks, while Yang focuses on the number of hits.
* Twin example: Hisui and Kohaku from {{Tsukihime}}. Hisui is an introverted maid who is skilled at cleaning, but lousy at cooking. Kohaku is an extroverted maid who is skilled at gardening and cooking, but terrible at cleaning.
** Also from the {{Nasuverse}}, Shinji and Sakura in FateStayNight. Subverted in that [[spoiler:they're not blood siblings. Sakura and ''Rin'' are, though, and also fit this trope. Sakura's [[TheDarkSide powers]] match her side nicely, to boot.]]
*Hector and Uther in FireEmblem: The Blazing Sword. Though this can probably be chalked up to the fact that [[PromotionToParent Uther's functioned as Hector's father figure]] since their parents died.
**The three Pegasus sisters are a rare trio example. Quiet, serious Fiora butts heads with boisterous Farina, who in turn gets a kick out of teasing both her and shy, sensitive Florina.
*** In FireEmblem 6 we have another sibling trio... also of Pegasus sisters. Yuuno is a sweet ActionMom, Thite is a stoic DefrostingIceQueen and Thany is a hyper GenkiGirl. And there's also a set of twins: the cheerful mage Lugh and the snarky shaman Rai.
* Unusual triplet variant, from ''MetalGearSolid'' - Solid and Liquid Snakes are extremely diametrically opposed; reserved, guilty Solid lacks his brother's ambitious, manipulative nature, and passionate, vengeful Liquid lacks his brother's wisdom and emotional clarity. This is complicated by the arrival of the third triplet, the calculating, focused Solidus, who considers himself a 'perfect balance' of his brothers' traits - he's wise and manipulative at once.
*[[TouhouProject The Scarlet Sisters]]: [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Remilia]] carries herself with class, which [[CreepyChild Flandre]] is a bit too, uh, [[TykeBomb energetic when "playing."]]
** Even in {{Fanon}}, when she once joyfully [[TheGlomp pounced]] [[KleptomaniacHero Marisa]] in a [[ChristmasSpecial Christmas-themed fancomic]] after waiting impatiently [[SealedEvilInACan in the basement for Christmas decorations to be finished]], an ''audible'' '''CRACK''' is heard. Ouch!
** The Komeji sisters as well: Satori is usually portrayed as being the calm and possibly deadpan elder sister with hidden emotional depths, while Koishi is usually portrayed as a very lively and cheerful girl who [[AndCallHimGeorge occasionally gets too energetic when hugging Okuu]].
* Netto (Lan) and Saito (Hub) Hikari [[spoiler:AKA MegaMan]] from RockmanEXE / MegaManBattleNetwork, especially in the Japanese version. Netto is outgoing, brash, and rather hot-headed; Saito is more calm and collected.
* The Kirishima siblings from ''[[RivalSchools Project Justice]]'' - elder sister Yurika is a quiet, timid LadyOfWar, while younger brother Kurow is a borderline-psychotic, megalomaniac assassin complete with a SlasherSmile.
* Hisui and Kohak in ''{{Tales of Hearts}}''. The elder is HotBlooded and impulsive and rude, and even his speech is crass; his sister is soft-spoken and polite. There's also Croaseraph, who is an aggressive DualWielding GlassCannon who wants to DestroyAllHumans, and his brother Crinoseraph, a stoic, defensive spellcaster with two shields who's maintained his loyalty to his master.
* [[DevilMayCry Dante]] [[RedOniBlueOni and]] [[CainAndAbel Vergil]] embody this trope, and just about every other antagonistic sibling relationship ever created.
* Literally yin and yang in ''FinalFantasyIV'' with Cecil and [[spoiler:Golbez]] The two exhibit a good deal of emotional yin yang in ''DissidiaFinalFantasy''.
* In Apollo Justice: AceAttorney, Kristoph Gavin is a cool, businesslike defense attorney while his brother Klavier is an wild, extroverted prosecutor. Futhermore, [[spoiler:Kristoph is LawfulEvil and Klavier is ChaoticGood]].
* Ronny and Sally Dobbs of ''BackyardSports''. Tony and Angela seem like this, but they're both egotistical.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Web Comics ]]

* Molly and Galatea in ''TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob''
* Elan and Nale from OrderOfTheStick. They even have opposite alignments (Elan is ChaoticGood, Nale is LawfulEvil).

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Web Original ]]

* Lee and Toe in ''{{KateModern}}''.

[[folder: Western Animation ]]

* Steve and Hailey in ''AmericanDad''.
* Bart and Lisa in ''TheSimpsons''.
* Doug and Judy from ''{{Doug}}''.
* Dexter and Deedee in ''DextersLaboratory''.
* Carl and Chloe in ''CarlSquared''.
* The aptly named Yin and Yang from ''YinYangYo''.
* Danny and Jazz in ''DannyPhantom''.
* Katara and Sokka in ''AvatarTheLastAirbender''
** [[AntiVillain Zuko]] and [[MagnificentBastard Azula]] are as different as [[RedOniBlueOni red and blue]].
* Starfire and Blackfire of ''TeenTitans''.
** Also Mas y Menos despite the fact that they're on the same side, and to a certain extent the [[GentleGiant thoughtful, pacifistic, somewhat clingy Thunder]] and [[PsychoElectro hotheaded, independant, pyro/electromaniacal Lightning]].
* Ben and Gwen on {{Ben 10}}. Cousins, but close enough.
* Riley and Todd from ''TheReplacements''.
* [[spoiler: Hex and Megabyte]] on ''ReBoot''. Ironiclly, both are the EvilTwin... in the beginning.
* Huey and Riley in ''TheBoondocks''.
* Yin and Yang from the ''{{Histeria}}!'' episode "Return to China", pictured above.
* ''PhineasAndFerb,'' in some ways, though their differences seem more complementary than opposed, given how close they are. (Technically they're stepbrothers, though even they never refer to themselves that way.)
** For that matter, either/both of them with their older sister Candace.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Real Life ]]

* Christopher and Peter Hitchens. Christopher is a very outspoken atheist/anti-theist and holds predominantly (but by no means exclusively) liberal political views. Peter is a lifelong member of the Church of England and holds predominantly conservative political views. Granted, both are relatively high-profile journalists, but beyond similar vocations and genetics, the similarities generally end there.
* George W. and Jeb Bush. Both are Republican politicians, true, but George is (by all accounts) a very personable man who parlayed his youthful love for the bottle and a certain white powder into a deeply-held religious faith. Jeb (by all accounts) is somewhat less personable (though not half as detached as their father), and seems not to be half as religious as his brother. Oh, and one is seen as being rather stupid (although some see this as ObfuscatingStupidity), and the other is quite intelligent and certified political whiz.
