Wonder Woman has a several of these as well.
Comic Books
- During the Golden Age, Gundra the Valkyrie served this role to Wonder Woman. Both come from mythological races of warrior women but while Diana fought for the Allies, Gundra fought for the Axis powers. Where Diana was instructed by Goddess Aphrodite to aide the Allies over the Axis, Justice Society Of America reveals that War God Odin didn't care one way or the other about who won, that Gundra in fact disregarded Adolph Hitler's orders when he summoned her and decided to aide the Axis powers in her own way. Both women also loved Steve Trevor on sight, but where Diana nursed and injured Steve Trevor back to health, took him back home, and playfully deflects his advances, telling him to wait until her mission is complete, Gundra kidnapped and brainwashed Steve Trevor.
- Wickedra and Badra are basically Hippolyte and Diana if Hippolyta and Diana were royalty of nation constantly under attack from the rest of the world rather than one that enjoyed peaceful isolation under the protection of goddesses. Wickedra values martial skill, much like Hippolyte, but also teaches her daughter in the ways of deception and thievery, where Hippolyte tresses honesty and charity, and painfully disciplines young Badra for her failures. While young Diana was a prodigy who could trounce the adult amazons, young Badra is a runt among her nation and was thus hardened by several such punishments. While Diana arrives in "Man's World" as Wonder Woman on a mission from Aphrodite to help The Allies defeat the Axis, short term, and help guide "Man's World" in Aphrodite's way, long term, arrives on Earth as a refugee from a war that destroyed the entire planet of Hator, and "The Meteor Girl", a name she rejects, immediately goes into hiding, starts trying to figure out how to build up a power base on Earth, and eventually starts coercing women into serving her as thieves. Not only are their morality and attitudes flipped by circumstance but Badra also has a different perspective than Wonder Woman because, as Badra puts it, Wonder Woman never had the displeasure of facing an "equal" before and thus doesn't recognize how "lucky" she is to suddenly have a bunch of weaklings torment, which is about Badra's only pleasure in being the Sole Survivor of her entire planet..
- The Emperor of Saturn and Eviless were this to Queen Hippolyte and Wonder Woman. They came from a society ruled by demons that encouraged sin but did little to reward their mortal subjects, resulting in an expansionist slave trading empire who had powerful, stolen technologies but were physically lacking, where the gods would reprimand the amazons for their sins, but also heap huge rewards for their corrections and virtues, leading to an isolated society that made revolutionary scientific advancements and were physically powerful. Eviless was their Wonder Woman, and while she seemed nothing like her at a glance, flipping their circumstances wouldn't likely change the story at all. Duke Mephisto Saturno and his daughter Saturnette, while less so in their positions in the empire compared to Hippolyta and Diana's on Paradise Island, also shadow the two as how they might have ended up as parent and child if their patrons had been cruel demons rather than nurturing goddesses.
- Circe's cynical and hateful attitude towards humans (men in particular) is played in deliberate contrast to Diana's more compassionate and optimistic view. Really exemplified after Circe briefly stole Diana's powers and became an Evil Counterpart to Wonder Woman. In her first Post-Crisis story, she herself pointed this out. Much like Diana, Circe was to fulfill a mission from the gods — namely, Hecate, who wished to punish humanity for her mistreatment, which Circe did by driving divides between men and women further. She later invokes their similarities again when she explains how both she and Diana are powerful women who are outsiders feared by humans because the causes they fight are hidden beneath blood shed by their hands (Circe fought and killed to get her daughter back, while Diana fought and killed others like Maxwell Lord to protect her friends and herself).
- The Silver Age Earth 1 Wonder Woman Diana had her twin sister Wonder Woman Nubia, who valued life in the same way Diana did, in spite of the fact she was raised by Diana's nemesis Ares. Still, Nubia was less interested in being a hero to the world than she was defending her territory and reinforcing her status as its ruler, because she was raised by Mars and cohorts instead of the disciplined and loving amazons or their doting gods. While the Amazons of Paradise Island had mostly abandoned their warlike ways, and had a responsible queen to guide them, the monsters of Slaughter Island needed to be kept in check, and it was really a testament to Nubia's independence and strength of character that she was decent a person as she was. Nubia was much like Diana, and would have been just like her if Ares hadn't gotten to her much earlier in life than he did Diana.
- While not a villain, Artemis of the Bana-Mighdall is a shadow archetype to Diana as well. Both are the champions of their respective Amazon tribes and are named after a hunting goddess. But whereas Diana is friendly, warm and humble, Artemis is rude, brash and arrogant (though she does have a hidden heart of gold).
- In volume 3 Wonder Woman gains another sister through adoption in Pele, who serves as a shadow archetype to Diana. The same fury that overtook Diana upon discovering that her adopted father, Kane Milohai, had been killed also overtook Pele, only where Diana directed her wrath at Zeus for slaying Kane Milohai Pele directed it at Diana. The two sisters through adoption share enough values to eventually become allies but where Diana justice more than revenge and reconciliation more than prevention Pele sees things the other way.
- Donna Troy ultimately gained her own shadow archetype in the form of Dark Angel, an evil version of Donna from another universe. Specifically Dark Angel is what Donna Troy would have become if she had been adopted by Antimoniter instead of Diana and Hippolyta. Just like the Donna Troy we usually follow, Dark Angel hates Antimoniter, but having him be so much of a larger influence in her life, without a loving sister and mother steering Donna in her developing years, not only turned Dark Angel into a cruel sadist, but turned Dark Angel bitter against the Donna Troy who had a happier life.
- Donna Troy gets another shadow archetype during Countdown To Final Crisis when she meets another alternate version of herself among Belthera's army, one who apparently flew under Dark Angel's radar. This Donna Troy was so envious of her adopted sister Diana that she killed her Diana by strangling Diana with Diana's own lasso before taking it for herself. The Donna Troy we follow is envious of her big sister too, but nonetheless loves her Diana and is driven to violence when her counterpart suggest she kill her adopted sister too.
- In volume four both Donna Troy and Nikos Aegeus are re tooled as problem "children" tasked with defeating/killing Wonder Woman. It's around this time Diana, who herself has been retooled as far less merciful warrior, but one who would rather not kill "kids", is starting to see the value in rehabilitation. Where Donna Troy quickly sees the error of her ways and immediately wants to kill herself for her crimes, Nikos Aegeus sees Wonder Woman as annoyingly self righteous but immediately vows to help Diana once he comes to realization she's right. The biggest thing setting the two apart is that Aegeus is a descendant of Poseidon who has inherited nothing and resented Wonder Woman for having it so easy in comparison to himself, where Donna Troy was given a position of authority from birth and told Wonder Woman was an unworthy usurper to be cut down. They largely are the same character turning out differently due to the circumstances around them and do eventually become friends, with Diana and each other.
- Poor Donna Troy gets yet another evil counterpart she could have easily become during DC Infinite Frontier in the then latest incarnation of Super Woman, who was what Donna Troy would have been if Hippolyta was not a loving mother and in fact set an example for Donna Troy by killing Donna's older sister Diana for being "soft". Super Woman still loves her adopted mother despite, not unlike the Donna Troy we usually follow, but nonetheless is out to conquer her Theymscira and kill her Hippolyta out of the belief her Hippolyta wants a stronger crueler successor with a stronger army.
- Heracles could be considered a shadow archetype to Cassie Sandsmark. Both are demigod offsprings of Zeus but while Cassie has adjusted to the values of her age and become Diana's friend, Heracles struggles to adapt and is often her enemy.
- Invoked: With Devastation and Genocide, whom were both created, psychologically at least, to be everything Wonder Woman is not. Diana has personally intervened in their lives to forcibly make them more like herself, and while she didn't succeed to redeeming either one of them before the universal crisis made her efforts mute, both monsters had to repress the ability to love and desire to bring reconciliation that come naturally to Wonder Woman. They are also foils to each other, as while the psychological didn't work as well as Wonder Woman would have liked with Devastation, it still had an advantageous affect. Ultimately, force was the only thing worth using on Genocide.
- Cassie Sandsmark gets another in "Amxon Thunder", a teenage delinquent who leads a gang of more. Amxon Thunder genuinely believes she is virtuous person doing right by her society, and that Cassie's world is hopelessly broken...it's just that in Amxon Thunder's world weak laws, rampant violent crime and unchecked larceny are "good" things. Basically their developmental environment is the only thing that caused the two to be different.
- As with Regime Superman, Regime Wonder Woman shows what multiverse W.W. can become if she joined his side. Unlike multiverse Wonder Woman, her Regime counterpart is abrasive, holds a jaded view of humanity, and goads Regime Superman down a darker path, something which she regrets in the sequel but won’t admit it openly. Regime W.W. even believes she is doing the right thing, something which her Multiverse counterpart is horrified at and even condemns her for breaking the Thou Shalt Not Kill rule.
- Given the explanation that all of this is the result of her Steve Trevor being a Nazi spy who tried to manipulate her, it could be argued that Regime Wonder Woman is what would happen if our W.W.'s first contact with the outside world was less benign.
