I commented out a handful Zero Context Examples on the main page. Anyone wanna take a crack at expanding them?
Anime and Manga
- In Dragon Ball GT we have the two brothers Nuova Shenron (fire) and Eis Shenron (Ice).
- Namor the Sub-Mariner and the original Human Torch.
- X-Men has Surge and Dust who are rivals. Not the usual type, though. Another example is given by Iceman and Havok.
- Heat Miser and Snow Miser in The Year Without a Santa Claus.
- In Eastern Mythology, there are the Demon-turned-gods Fujin (wind) and Raijin (thunder).
- Japanese Mythology has Amaterasu (sky, sun, light) and Susanoo (storms and ocean).
- Leviathan (Sea) and Behemoth (Earth).

None of those are zero content examples. The page is called elemental rivalry. Any given set of characters can thus be assumed to be rivals and the contrasting elements are given in each case. The only one that needs expansion is Surge and Dust and only to tell us why they are not of the "usual" type. (I think the implication is that surge and dust are ideological rivals first and foremost and that is only because Dust cannot take Surge in a straight fight.)

No, it really does not. All that really matters is them being in opposition and having opposed powers. Neither the trope description as it is now nor You Know That Thing Where.
