Composite Character in Web Original.


  • Arenas:
    • Doom's pre-Arena story is depicted as a mixture of both Doom³'s visual aesthetic and backstory, with that design for the Doomguy, most demons, and the Soul Cube, and his main game's levels and main storyline.
    • Visor is a mix of his III self and Gorre, with the latter serving as his Superpowered Evil Side.
  • Being an adaptation of TTA TOME has a bunch of these.
    • Nylocke seems to be a mash-up of Nailock and Kirbopher15 from the original. Justified, because Kirbopher and Zetto are the same character in this new incarnation, any conflict between Kirbopher 15 and Zetto from the original would no longer work. As a result, Nylocke is the one who imprisions the Forbidden Power into the drain edge/sword instead of Kirbopher and also tried to convince him to not take the game so seriously during the Gemini Tournament.
    • And then there's Kizuna, who combines Ruri and Voltarius from the original. She's still Zetto's partner, but in this version, Kizuna is the leader of the hackers while Zetto (who kind of acts like a second-in-command here) doubles as Kirbopher instead.
    • And don't even get started on Swordicon, who might've inspired the idea that Kirbopher and Zetto are the same person.
  • A variation occurred in There Will Be Brawl: While fans were still awaiting Young Link and Toon Link to finally show up or be mentioned, like every other character in Super Smash Bros., it's eventually revealed that Link also is Young Link and Toon Link. They were compressed into one character. Link looks at a photo of his younger self. This photo includes both, Young Link/Toon Link, implying that they are both the same guy during the same period of time. Link is just their grown-up version.
  • Crinoverse: The Crinoverse, existing as it does as a combination of multiple superhero universes, has a few of these. There's the Justice Avengers, a combination of the JLA and the Avengers, and a few others-Psimon is a combination of the Champions character and the DC character of the same name.
  • Etra chan saw it!: In this episode, Tsutsuji is revealed to be a disguised Yuzuriha. In other episodes, they are both separate characters.
  • The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, a present-day adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, has several changes:
    • The Bennet family has three daughters instead of five: Jane, Lizzie and Lydia. Lydia has shades of Kitty (she's not as insufferable as Lydia in the books and, in a sense, has a happier ending). Mary Bennet is present as the girls' cousin.
    • Bing Lee, the adaptation's version of Mr. Bingley, only has one sister instead of two, Caroline Lee. She also fulfills the role of Anne de Bourgh as a girl who Catherine de Bourgh sees as Darcy's girlfriend and at the end, Caroline's part corresponds to Lady Catherine as someone who unintentionally brings the main couple together when she tries to separate them.
  • Emma Approved takes place in the same verse as The Lizzie Bennet Diaries. The latter's Caroline Lee is a verse-spanning Composite Character by taking the place of Emma's Augusta Elton.
  • University Ever After combines several characters:
  • In general, if a fighter tends to have multiple sources of canon, DEATH BATTLE! will often take information from most, if not all of them (as long as they don't directly contradict with the original or most accepted source material) in order to give that fighter a good round-out of abilities. Examples of this include Batman using shock gloves against Captain America and RoboCop not only employing the weapons he used in the films, but also the tactical discs and rambot devices he used in The Series against The Terminator. Even hallucinations seem to be fair game as even though The Joker has used a Jokermobile before, the Joker vs. Sweet Tooth episode features the Joker employing the vandalized Batmobile version of the Jokermobile in the last Scarecrow hallucination in Batman: Arkham Knight.
    • This is comically defied in Sora vs. Pit and the Mega Man Battle Royale as Wiz refused to utilize the incarnations of Pit and classic Mega Man from Captain N: The Game Master.
    • Equally, they refused to use The New 52 version of Lobo in his fight with Ghost Rider as that version was the antithesis of everything Lobo stood for.
    • The second match between Super Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog had an interesting aspect to it. When the original match happened, they used elements of Sonic from the Archie comic. When they did the second match, they opted to not use it as their ruleset had been refined in the years since. The change lead to Mario defeating Sonic the second time around. In the podcast afterwards, they said that had they included it, Sonic's abilities from there would have made his fight a Curb-Stomp Battle in Sonic's favor.
    • Averted with both Darkseid and Thanos in their episode. Thanos's backstory was wholly based on his comic counterpart, including his obsession with Death and the coloring of the Infinity Stones matching the original ones from the comics, while the episode keeps the idea that the body Darkseid usually fighting heroes in is just an avatar and he is unaffected by Darkseid's Crisis Crossovers.
    • Subverted and later averted with Shao Kahn. The only time his dragon form from Mortal Kombat: Annihilation and Adaptational Weapon Swap (replacing the Wrath Hammer with a sword) from Mortal Kombat: Conquest were mentioned were doing the rundown in his battle with M. Bison — and even those were accompanied with a jab at Conquest and them outright stating they were ignoring Annihilation, and the battle was based wholly on his game incarnation. These didn't even come up at all when Shao returned to fight Bison's fellow SF villain, Akuma.
  • The titular protagonist of Logan's Tale is a composite of both the Lone Wanderer and the Courier, who were otherwise separate characters in Fallout canon, barring the Tale of Two Wastelands mod.
  • In The Spoony Experiment, Spoony and Dr. Insano are either alternate versions of each other, or entirely different people. In Kickassia, Dr. Insano is Spoony's Superpowered Evil Side. Insano, after showing up in To Boldly Flee, atributtes this to the plot hole.
  • The alternate future history Piecing Together the Ashes: Reconstructing the Old World Order has several historical characters conflated with each other due to the future humans' limited knowledge of the past, such as John Lennon being a mix of himself and Vladimir Lenin.
  • Can You Spare a Quarter?: The story is Very Loosely Based on a True Story and the characters are composite characters of Real Life people.
  • McBusters is essentially a Whole-Plot Reference to Ghostbusters (1984) and Ghostbusters II with McDonaldland characters playing the parts of the Ghostbusters characters.
    • Ronald McDonald serves as the brains of the team like Egon Spengler, with Hamburglar and Mayor McCheese having elements of both Peter Venkman and Ray Stantz.
    • Mac Tonight has Winston Zeddemore's role of being a fourth member who isn't recruited until sometime after the original three have been active.
    • Grimace is merged with both the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man and Louis Tully.
    • The role of Vigo the Carpathian from Ghostbusters II is played by The Burger King (who also disguises himself as Judge Wexler's counterpart), with the creator of the documentary Super Size Me Morgan Spurlock serving as the equivalent to Janosz Poha.
    • Birdie the Early Bird makes a brief cameo in the third video where she plays a similar role to the female ghost in the first Ghostbusters movie who was implied to fellate Ray Stantz.
    • The character Frymer is a fusion of Slimer from Ghostbusters and the Fry Guys from McDonaldland.
