* VideoGame/SuperFighter: As a bootleg game made by the Taiwanese company C&E based on VideoGame/StreetFighterII (even tracing the animations of various characters and using the unaltered sound effects and music scores), the entire cast (with one or two possible exceptions) are basically "[[SerialNumbersFiledOff Poor man's Ryu, Ken, Chun-li," etc]]. Though the developers try to hide their blatant infringement on Creator/{{Capcom}}'s Intellectual Property rights by way of employing CompositeCharacter (e.g. Phoenix (the Chun-li ersatz) does some of M. Bison's moves), Red Man (the Blanka ersatz) has Dhalsim's color scheme and M. Bison and Sagat's mannerisms) in an effort to make them seem unique.

* ''VideoGame/DragonMaster'': Much like the Super Fighter example above, this South Korean made equivalent to Street Fighter II also features characters are ersatzes of those from that Capcom property, some of which include Baekun Dosa and Klaus Garcia ([[{{Shotoclone}} Ryu and Ken]]), Gloria (Chun-li), Jackie (Guile), and Dark Man (Blanka).

* The entire cast of the Indian cartoon ''Animation/PakdamPakdai'' is an expy of the cast of ''WesternAnimation/OggyAndTheCockroaches''. It's worth noting that ''Pakdam Pakdai'' as a whole is a [[FollowTheLeader rip-off]] of ''Oggy'', making the whole show an ''Oggy'' expy in and of itself.

*** Twilight Sparkle is physically similar to (unicorn) Twilight.

*** Twilight Sparkle is physically similar to (unicorn) Twilight. As a MythologyGag, her mother Twilight Velvet is the original Twilight except with her pink pelt toned down to a grey colour.



*** Fluttershy is similar to Posey, however she's a pegasus instead of an Earth Pony. Fluttershy focuses on animals more than plants while Posey was a florist, and wasn't a ShrinkingViolet.
*** Rarity is based on Sparkler (''not'' Glory like many think) however her fur is a near-white shade of blue.They're both gem stone related, though Rarity uses it in her [[FashionDesigner designs]] while Sparkler collected gems.

* ''VideoGame/TechRomancer'': The game is a love letter to many old SuperRobot anime and as such it contains a lot of expies to them, such as the G-Kaiser to MazingerZ or Rafaga to MacRoss. It also has an UltraMan expy named Pulsion.

* Practically every character in ''ComicBook/MarshalLaw'' except the protagonist is a parody of some superhero comics character or other. Of Marshal Law's major enemies, the Public Spirit is Franchise/{{Superman}}, the Private Eye is Franchise/{{Batman}}, and the Persecutor is ComicBook/ThePunisher. In relation to groups of characters, the patients in the New York mental hospital are all parodies of the big name Silver Age Franchise/MarvelUniverse heroes, the zombies in "The Hateful Dead" are the ComicBook/JusticeSocietyOfAmerica (plus ComicBook/CaptainAmerica), the Secret Tribunal are Dark Age Marvel heroes, and the "League of Heroes" group of "heroes" in training are the ComicBook/LegionOfSuperheroes.

* A self-referential variant shows up in the ''Franchise/YuGiOh'' franchise, as the casts of each anime created after ''[[Anime/YuGiOh Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters]]'' clearly take inspiration from the DM cast. In ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'' this was to [[AffectionateParody parody]] the original, but now it's become something of a tradition.

* In ''Comicbook/{{PS238}},'' many of the important adult heroes (including some parents and teachers) are {{Captain Ersatz}}es, most obviously Ron's dad [[TheCape Atlas]] for Comicbook/{{Superman}} and Tyler's mentor [[TheCowl the Revenant]] for Comicbook/{{Batman}}. Many of the kids are, too. Because of the large cast this goes beyond the more obvious examples--for example, we have a Comicbook/{{MODOK}} (bratty kid [[BigBadWannabe Zodon]]), [[Comicbook/{{Preacher}} Genesis]] (friendly [[GooGooGodlike Malphast]]) and [[Comicbook/TheSandman Morpheus]] (loopy [[PiecesOfGod Murphy]]).

Mamika acts like a [[Franchise/PrettyCure Cure]] and fights like a [[Franchise/LyricalNanoha TSAB agent]], Celestia takes on a role similar to [[LightNovel/SwordArtOnline Asuna]], Alicetelia is a female [[Manga/{{Berserk Guts}}]] with a dash of [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Saber's]] ideals, Rui displays some [[Franchise/{{Gundam}} Newtype]] behavior, etc. [[spoiler: Even the Military Princess gets in on this, being an expy of an ''in-universe'' mascot character while her story is a send up to how Anime/BlackRockShooter got her start.]]

The protagonists in particular are blatant copies of Banjo and Kazooie, sharing near-identical personalities and moves.
