*** The 24th century captains:

** The three Klingon ''Dahar'' Masters from the ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' episode "[[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS02E19BloodOath Blood Oath\\":

** (Seasons 1 & 2, 1963):

** (Season 6):

* ''Series/{{Charmed|1998}}'':

* ''Series/DoctorWho (Seasons 1 & 2, 1963)'':
** Ego: Barbara -- Neurotic and morally conflicted. Does not act without kindness, but sides with either the Doctor or Ian depending on who seems most pragmatic.
** Superego: Ian Chesterton -- Likes to make decisions based on what is most righteous, ChronicHeroSyndrome, always the first to call out the Doctor for being unreasonable.
*** In some stories, this gives him the feeling of passionate and instinctive behaviour to contrast with the Doctor's calculating mind (Id), which causes the Doctor to switch to Superego.
** Id: The Doctor -- Selfish, inflexible, full of emotion and with self-centredness for miles.
*** In some stories, his genius causes him to make inflexible moral judgements about things which he holds everyone else to regardless of Ian's emotional appeals (Superego), which causes Ian to switch to Id.

* ''Series/DoctorWho (Season 6)'':
** Ego: The Second Doctor -- Goofy but intelligent
** Superego: Zoe -- Cold and logical
** Id: Jamie -- Brash and emotional
** These characterizations are also given a strong in-universe reason, as Zoe is from the 21st Century where she studies astrophysics, and Jamie is an 18th Century Highlander who never really had any need for science.

* ''Series/DoctorWho'' (The villains in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS14E6TheTalonsOfWengChiang The Talons of Weng-Chiang]]")
** Ego: [[spoiler:Magnus Greel]], alias Weng-Chiang -- Makes the decisions.
** Superego: Li H'sen Chang -- A sympathetic AntiVillain. Tries to remind his master that some things are not workable.
** Id: Mr. Sin -- Glories in destruction ForTheEvulz.
** Also a ComicTrio.

* ''Series/DoctorWho (original series Seasons 16-18)'':
** Id: The Fourth Doctor -- Wild and emotional, often stopping the latest MonsterOfTheWeek for the fun of it rather than a desire to save lives.
** Ego: Romana -- Intensely moral and often critical of the Doctor (and everyone else she meets), as a Superego at first, but loosens up a lot by her second incarnation.
** Superego: K-9: A RobotBuddy allegedly driven by pure logic and incapable of independent thought. Often sided with Romana over the Doctor.
** Also a ComicTrio.

* ''Series/DoctorWho companions in Season 19'' -- Combo Trio:
** Id and Ego: Tegan -- Driven by love, compassion, anger and occasionally pure whinyness, shes probably not going to listen to logic if there's some impulsive action to be done first.
** Ego and Superego: Nyssa -- A logical scientist from a utopian civilization. Tellingly gets along with both Tegan and Adric.
** Id and Superego: Adric -- When he's not annoying everybody with his know-it-all math skills, he's annoying everyone with his seeming inability to sympathize with anyone else. You could call it Inverted Ego.

* ''Series/DoctorWho (Series 1-4)'':
** Superego: The Ninth and Tenth Doctor -- Cerebral, must unravel the mystery.
** Ego: Rose, Martha or Donna -- Gets distracted by the weird stuff around her, but knows how to pull it together at the appropriate moment.
** Id: Captain Jack Harkness -- Loves the weirdness of it all and spends most of the episode flirting with anything that moves.
** (These characterizations only really apply whenever Jack shows up. The Doctor, Rose, Martha and Donna tend to be all over the place.)

* ''Series/DoctorWho episodes "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E8HumanNature Human Nature]][=/=][[Reacp/DoctorWhoS29E9TheFamilyOfBlood The Family of Blood]]"
** Id: John Smith -- Running on love, fear and pain.
** Superego: Martha Jones -- Knows that it's up to the Doctor to set things right and knows she must accomplish her goal at all costs.
** Ego: Nurse Renfrew -- At first skeptical of Martha's claims and in love with John Smith. [[spoiler:She eventually sees what has to be done and convinces John Smith to do it]].

* ''Series/DoctorWho (Series 5-6)'':
** Id: The Eleventh Doctor -- Footloose and fancy free (unless Amy is in danger). Loves when things are weird and actively goes after unusual stuff.
** Superego: Rory -- Down to earth, cares about Amy's safety above all else and thinks more practically.
** Ego: Amy -- Not so much balancing the two as balanced by them, as without Rory around she and the Doctor are usually pretty lalaland, and without the Doctor she's willing to settle down.

* ''Series/DoctorWho (The Paternoster Gang)''
** Superego: Madame Vastra -- Calm, collected and logical.
** Id: Nurse Strax -- Runs on instinct and a thirst for war (Id).
** Ego: Jenny Flint -- Skilled at hand-to-hand combat, but also very compassionate.

*** Superego: Data, usually. (Sometimes it was Laforge saying why something wouldn't work, but he usually {{TechnoBabble}}d himself into a solution involving the Deflector Dish or [[ReverseThePolarity polarity reversal]].)

** The three main Malcorians from the ''Next Generation'' episode "First Contact" (not to be confused with the film ''Film/StarTrekFirstContact''):

*** In the episode "Loud as a Whisper", Riva the diplomat's psychic chorus.
*** In "Frame of Mind", when Riker is undergoing a psychiatric procedure in the mental institution, a hologram of Worf represents his id, Troi represents his superego, and Picard his ego.
*** In "Brothers", Brent Spiner gets to play one ''all by himself'', when Dr. Noonian Soong (Ego) summons both Data (Superego) and Lore (Id).

** The three Klingon ''Dahar'' Masters from the ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' episode Blood Oath:

** Command trio:
*** Superego: Tuvok
*** Id: Chakotay
*** Ego: Kathryn Janeway
** Junior trio:
*** Superego: Harry Kim
*** Id: B'Elanna Torres
*** Ego: Tom Paris
** Exotic trio:
*** Superego: Doctor (Seasons 1-2), Seven of Nine (Seasons 3-7)
*** Id: Neelix
*** Ego: Kes (Seasons 1-2), Doctor (Seasons 3-7)

** Ego: Kirk
** Superego: Picard
** Id: Archer
** The 24th century captains:
** Ego: Janeway
** Superego: Picard
** Id: Sisko

* ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' uses this trope to great effect to highlight different characters.

* ''Series/{{Warehouse 13}}'':

* ''Workaholics''

** Although sometimes they might switch around depending on the situtation

** Ego: Tori -- TheChick, the responsible one

*** Ego: Sam Winchester -- TheHeart; TheChick; AllLovingHero; ThePollyanna; MoralityPet, MoralityChain, LivingEmotionalCrutch and TheConscience (for MOC!Dean); diplomatic; balanced/trying to find a balance between a normal life and hunting; conflicted (about living or dying); calm; down-to-earth; inferiority-complex; peacemaker; mediator; empathetic; loving; supportive; philosophical; compassionate yet pragmatic; balances between emotions and logic, the most normal and human within the trio (overlaps with Superego)

** Also the BlondeBrunetteAndRedhead trio of the [=McCall=] pack during Season 4 and 5:

*** Superego: Octavian, the ascetic, logical, [[AmbiguousDisorder possibly sociopathic]] [[TheChessmaster chessmaster]]

** ''Series/KamenRiderFaiz''
*** Ego: Takumi
*** Superego: Masato
*** Id: Shuji
** ''Series/KamenRiderHibiki''
*** Ego: Hibiki
*** Superego: Ibuki
*** Id: Todoroki
** ''Series/KamenRiderKiva'' (The Arms Monsters):
*** Id: Jiro
*** Ego: Ramon
*** Superego: Riki

*** Id: Yousuke/Hurricane Red, the determined hothead
*** Ego: Nanami/Hurricane Blue, the cute one

** Ego: Rimmer
** Superego: Kryten
** Id: Cat
** Lister, the one portrayed as the most 'normal', is a mix of all three. Holly is just bonkers.
*** Rimmer is not the ego -- he is in no way a moderator. In fact he combines both superego and id qualities (authoritarian and selfish). If there actually is a "power trio" here then Lister must = ego.
*** I agree, therefore, taking the original trio and ignoring Holly and Kryten (who kind of out-superego everyone despite their flaws) the trio works out as:
*** Id: Cat
*** Ego: Lister
*** Superego: Rimmer

*** I’d: Dan/Tricara Ranger -- Warrior of Courage, quick fighter, but slow thinker

*** Dan/Tricara Ranger -- Warrior of Courage, quick fighter, but slow thinker
*** Geki/Tyranno Ranger -- Warrior of Justice, responsible leader
*** Goushi/Mammoth Ranger -- Warrior of Wisdom, intellectual member who enjoys books and fine art

*** Id: Dean Winchester -- HotBlooded, BloodKnight, TheBerserker, HairTriggerTemper, AxCrazy, KnifeNut, CuteAndPsycho, TheCorruptible (for Crowley, the MOC, and Amara), KnightTemplarBigBrother (to extreme levels towards Sam), CrazyJealousGuy (for Sam), {{Yandere}} tendencies (towards Sam), SociopathicHero, SociopathicSoldier, [[UnstoppableRage angry, aggressive]], forceful, [[TheDeterminator determined]], impulsive, rash, hell bent on killing, [[AmbiguouslyEvil dark or morally corrupt tendencies]], [[InsaneEqualsViolent violent tendencies]]
