I've come up with a few more examples:
* ''Anime/YuGiOh'': Seto Kaiba likely shares TropeCodifier status with Vegeta.  Conditioned by his DarkAndTroubledPast to consider victory as the measure of one's worth, he became an arrogant, asocial, and utterly ruthless Duel Monsters tycoon.  He was Yugi's main rival throughout the series ever since he gave him his first loss, acting as the [[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries "cliché emotionally void antagonist"]] most of the time, yet often working with him to oppose a greater threat.
* ''VideoGame/MegaManClassic'': Protoman is the {{Flawed|Prototype}} SuperPrototype of [[BigGood Dr. Light]] and Mega Man's older brother.  He is known to have a more independent mind in comparison to other robots of his time, which is implied to be connected to his faulty power core.  He left Dr. Light's service long ago and chosen to accept his eventual demise rather than risk losing what makes him who he is.  He was first seen as one of Mega Man's enemies in ''VideoGame/MegaMan3'', but made a HeelFaceTurn near the end, acting as an AloofAlly but still preferring to strike out on his own.
* ''VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising'': Dark Pit is Pit's EvilKnockoff intended to serve in the Underworld Army, but refuses to declare loyalty to any side.  He spends most of the game determined to defeat Pit and prove he's not a mere copy, but just as often takes swipes at the Underworld forces, hinting that he's not as bad as he seems.  [[spoiler:He ends up making a complete HeelFaceTurn after Pit's three-year imprisonment in the Chaos Ring, during which he was "less than nothing", leaving him unable to deny his nature as Pit's {{doppelganger}}.]]  He wears black, wields a prototype of Pit's Sacred Bow as his WeaponOfChoice, and is known for his lack of respect for the gods and disdain for Pit's {{Black and White|Morality}} viewpoint.

Here's a few other examples that may fit, but I admittedly don't know them well enough to elaborate on them:
* Chazz Princeton from Anime/YouGiOhGX
* Jack Atlas from Anime/YuGiOh5Ds
* Meta Knight from VideoGame/{{Kirby}}
* Severus Snape from Franchise/HarryPotter
