* The cast of ''Anime/SpacePatrolLuluco'' is basically a reunion of characters from past Creator/StudioTrigger and Creator/StudioGainax series. There's [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Kaworu]] (Alpha Omega Nova), [[Anime/{{FLCL}} Haruko]] (Midori), WebAnimation/InfernoCop [[spoiler: who turns into [[Anime/GurrenLagann Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]]] (OVER JUSTICE), and [[Anime/LittleWitchAcademia Professor Ursula]] (Hisho). And that's not even counting the villains' side, which features [[Anime/LittleWitchAcademia Shiny Chariot]] (Lalaco) and a very [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Viral]]-esque [[spoiler:[[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Anti-Spiral]] (the Blackholian commander-in-chief)]], just to name a few enemies. [[spoiler:Luluco herself would later turn out to be Trigger's mascot Trigger-chan. Not an expy of her, but [[OriginsEpisode the literal character]].]]

* ''Anime/PlasticMemories'' main cast consists mostly of ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' expies. The most obvious are Kazuki (who is a mentor and HardDrinkingPartyGirl like Misato), Isla (who is a quiet, [[YourDaysAreNumbered sickly]] HeroicAlbino like Rei), and Michiru (who is a FieryRedhead who is {{tsundere}} for the brunette protagonist like Asuka).

** Inaho is a dead ringer for Makoto Nanaya (minus the tail), due her [[CurtainsMatchTheWindows chestnut hair and eye color]], the animal ear-like hair bobbles atop her head, and her [[PerpetualSmiler perpetual]] CatSmile. All of which gives her the appearance of [[LittleBitBeastly a squirrel girl.]]

** ''TabletopGame/FreedomCity'''s Freedom League is about 70% Justice League to 30% Avengers. Most obviously, the late Centurion is the SupermanSubstitute and the retired Raven I is Batman (the game operating in real time). Meanwhile the Atom Family are loosely the Fantastic Four, the Next Gen are the Titans with X-Men elements, and so on. The ''Atlas of Earth-Prime'' follows suit with the heroes of other countries, sometimes in unexpected ways (the heroine of Botswana is Mma Ramotswe from ''Number One Ladies Detective Agency'' with super-senses).

** ''HaltEvilDoer'''s Patriots are also a JLA/Avengers mix, although it's closer to 50-50. The Tomorrow Syndicate is the X-Men led by Scarlet Witch, and in addition there have been various other "Tomorrow" groups paralleling X-Factor, X-Force, etc. Jack Union's Psychotic Seven is roughly Manchester Black's Elite, although it also includes the Swamp Thing, Aquaman/Namor and Black Panther expies ... and, more surprisingly, Hecate, the Troia counterpart.

Please note: To qualify, at least half of the work's major characters must be recognisable as derived from earlier ones. A work which has multiple Expies or Ersatzen simply because it has LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters does not qualify..

* All of the characters from Advertising/ThePizzaHeadShow commercials draw inspiration from ''Series/MrBill''. Pizza Head is based off of Mr. Bill himself, being constantly injured just like him; the unseen human is based off of Mr. Hands, which is evident by the fact that only his hands are ever seen on-screen; and Steve the pizza cutter seems to be based on Mr. Sluggo, since both are silent antagonists. {{Justified|Trope}} as the commercials were, in fact, done by Mr. Bill creator Walter Williams.

* All of the major characters in ''Film/BarelyLethal'' map neatly to characters from ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'', to the point where one can't help but wonder if [[SpiritualAdaptation they were originally intending to make]] a ''Kim Possible'' movie but couldn't get the rights. Agent 83 (aka Megan) is the film's version of Kim, Roger is pretty plainly Ron, Liz is Bonnie (and is even played by a Creator/DisneyChannel star, Creator/DoveCameron), Cash is Josh, Hardman is a [[GenderFlip gender-flipped]] Dr. Director (herself a gender-flipped ComicBook/NickFury, amusingly enough given that Hardman is played by Creator/SamuelLJackson), Victoria Knox is a gender-flipped Dr. Drakken, and [[spoiler:Agent 84 (aka Heather) is Shego]].

No, the novel character is specifically based on the Harley from the main-continuity DC comics, in which the Joker genuinely doesn't give a crap about Harley and repeatedly tries to kill her, as opposed to the other continuities in which their relationship isn't quite so abusive.
