* Using ''Astro Boy'' as one of their inspirations, the main story of ''VideoGame/{{Mega Man|Classic}}'' is about Dr. Light creating the first sentient robots to help humanity, where his first models (Proto Man, Rock/Mega Man and Roll) are considered as his own family and helping him in home labours, especially Rock, being treated almost like it was his son. It helps that both Mega Man and Roll are designed to resemble preteen children.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}''

Contrast ThatThingIsNotMyChild, where the creator rejects their creations.

* In ''Manga/MagiLabyrinthOfMagic,'' [[CourtMage Scheherazade]] creates Titus as a sort of magical OppositeSexClone; dialogue seems to indicate that she's done this before. They do seem to think of each other as a mother and son, though part of Scheherazade's HeelRealization is realizing that [[ParentsAsPeople she hasn't been treating him as his own person]].

* ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' fandom also tends to treat the LiteralSplitPersonality characters (the [[TheSoulless Nobodies]] who developed their own personalities, [[EnemyWithout living personification of darkness]], and Replicas) this way with the original human characters, at least when they're not [[ScrewYourself shipping them]]. In canon, all the Artificial Humans are around the same age as their originals, so most fanworks tend to default to treating them as sibling-like relationships. AlternateUniverse fanfiction can play more with the ages to make certain characters the [[RelatedInTheAdaptation biological parents, siblings, etc]] of the Artificial Humans.

* ''WesternAnimation/GuillermoDelTorosPinocchio'': Takes a more darker/sadder twist with Geppetto creating Pinocchio in a depressive and drunken state, attempting to bring back his dead son Carlo who died from a air bomb. When Pinocchio is given life, he instantly sees Geppetto as a father, but Geppetto takes much longer to see Pinocchio as his son. Pinocchio falls in the "failed ReplacementGoldfish" when Geppetto tries to force him to be more like Carlo.

* Rei Ayanami from ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' is a clone created by Gendo Ikari via combining the DNA of [[spoiler:Lilith]] and [[spoiler:his late wife Yui]]. Gendo is shown to have some affection for her. Though, it might be because she looks just like [[spoiler:his wife]]. There's been debates on whether Shinji's attraction to her can be consider [[spoiler:incestual since she shares his mother's DNA]].

* ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'': It is eventually revealed that [[spoiler:Adrien Agreste, his cousin Felix and Kagami Tsurugi]] are all Sentimonsters created by the Peacock Miraculous [[spoiler:which was broken and thus their parents CastFromLifespan to create them]]. While [[spoiler:Adrien and Kagami]] were completely unaware of this revelation, [[spoiler:Felix was not so lucky, with his father using this fact as the centerpoint of his abuse of him as the former was dying.]][[note]]In a bizarre twist of events, the moment the Sentimonsters first appeared, the fandom [[EpilepticTrees jumped on the theory these three were Sentis]] and it was a heavily argued idea until the reveal.[[/note]]
