*** Also, Mu La Flaga, who's more like Char's heroic identity from ZetaGundam.

'''[[GundamWing Zechs Merquise]]''':''"No, you're copying me."''\\

'''[[MobileSuitGundam Char Aznable]]''':''"No, ALL of you are copying me!"''

* A recurring joke is that in the original anime, Char's Zaku is described as being ''three times faster'' than a regular Zaku; a Char clone will often reference their speed being multiple times that of the protagonists'.

* [[CloningBlues A Cloning Blue]]

** ''Gunpla Builders Beginning G'' - [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTQYAsUMGFg The trailer for this show]] (which is about Gundam model builders building gundam models... [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome then FIGHTING IN THEM]]) reveals Boris Schauer, of course, a CharClone. You can see his profile and picture [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTQYAsUMGFg#t=1m26s around the 1:28 mark]]. Because the story takes place in the real world, Boris may just be a fanboy of char. Nevertheless, his similarity to Char is more than just cosmatic, as no ordinary fanboy will riding CoolHorse just to mimic Char.

* Daisuke Enomoto was the world's fourth space tourist; he is a real-life example of this trope because he dyed his hair blonde and planned to wear [[http://connect.in.com/char-aznable/photos-daisuke-enomoto-space-adventures-char-aznable-b4258e307ab4c530.html Char Aznable costume]] into space. [[DespiteThePlan The trip did not go according to plan]].

** There's even an episode [[ShoutOut called]] ''[[CharsCounterattack Bern's Counterattack]]''.

*** Corin Nander is also a Char he wheres Red Cloths and pilot red mobile suits like The Eagail as well as a Red Kapool that is similar looking to Char's Z'Gok

But because the story takes place in the real world, boris may just be a cosplayer and a fanboy of char.

* ''MacrossFrontier'' - Brera Stern is such an obvious Char that it's FacePalm worthy.

* ''Infinite Stratos'' Charlotte Dunois pilots an orange coloured mass produced IS under the disguise of a guy as Charles. Not the main girl, but certainly the most popular, though later she gets the nickname "Char" from the main character, making her not just a Char clone but a CHAR! Also an expy of Kyousuke and his Alt Eisen which is also a Char machine.

* ''GearFighterDendoh'' has Altair (the mask-wearing badguy), who is the brother of one of the main characters and {{the rival}} of the protagonists. He also uses a palette-swap of Dendoh, the Knight Gear Ogre.

** Particularly of note is [[strike:Rätsel Feinschmecker]] [[SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Elzam V. Branstein]]: his mecha all follow the black-and-red color scheme and are ridiculously fast (so much so that his insane evasion skills make him an excellent ''tank''), and takes to wearing a pair of sunglasses to take a secret identity (which nobody actually falls for). He even shares a voice actor with Gundam's Harry Ord.

* Being an EnigmaticMinion with his own hidden agenda, capable of betraying his allies at any moment given cause. {{Magnificent Bastard}}ry is obligatory.
