* In ''VideoGame/SouthParkTheFracturedButWhole'', the New Kid can learn a Timefart ability that allows them to summon "Backstory You" into the fight for three turns: they have the same abilities as the current New Kid, just wearing the same pajamas they wear in the backstory tutorials. Noticeably, one other character in the game can also do this: [[spoiler:BonusBoss Creator/MorganFreeman, who is the one who taught the New Kid how to use farts to bend the space-time continuum in the first place]].

* In several reviews, WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic meets his future self (a character clearly parodying [[Film/BackToTheFuture Doctor Emmett Brown]]). This starts with ''Film/TheRoom'', where the future Critic brings the present one to the future to justify calling a relatively recent movie "nostalgic". In the Scooby Doo movie review, the Critic does a strange double version of the trope, where he reviews alongside of both his future self and his past self.

* Happens with three characters in the first story of the ''FanFic/FacingTheFutureSeries'' with [[spoiler:Dark Danny, Danny's BadFuture self, his actual future self, and a future version of Sam with ghost powers]].

** Season 3 introduces the Unknown, [[spoiler: the child of Jonas and Martha AlternateSelf from a different universe]]]], who mostly just appeared as a trio with a child self, an adult self and an eldery self.

** Mikkel Nielsen became Michael Kahnwald after [[FishOutOfTemporalWater being stranded in the 80s. One scene has Michael creeply stalking Mikkel while the latter is in the restroom.
** Season 3 intepduces the Unknown, the child of Jonas and Martha [[spoiler:AlternateSelf from a different universe]]]], who mostly just appeared as a trio with a child self, an adult self and an eldery self.

* ''Series/Dark2017'' sees a lot of characters talking to and interacting with their past/present/future self as part of the series' [[StableTimeLoop Stable Time Loops. The most notable examples include:
** The main character Jonas Kahnwald is introduced to the nature of TimeTravel by his future self (called simply "The Stranger"). The Stranger's main goal is to opposite the cult leader Adam [[spoiler:who turns out to be ''another'' future self of Jonas.]] After Adam [[spoiler:shoots his love interest Martha before his eyes, [[FutureMeScaresMe Jonas wants to do anything to avoid becoming Adam]]. It doesn't work.

** Mikkel Nielsen became Michael Kahnwald after [[TemporalFishOutOfWater being stranded in TheEigthies. One scene has Michael creeply stalking Mikkel while the latter is in the restroom.
** Season 3 intepduces the Unknown, the child of Jonas and Martha [[spoiler:AlternateSelf from a different univerde]]]], who mostly just appeared as a trio with a child self, an adult self and an eldery self.

* The ''Series/DoctorWho'' webcomic ''[[Webcomic/The10Doctors The Ten Doctors]]'' is basically the average anniversary special [[UpToEleven on steroids]]. All ten Doctors (including [[spoiler:the Second-and-a-Half Doctor from ''[[https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Devious_(home_video) Devious]]'']]) all wind up getting embroiled in a [[CrisisCrossover rather complicated]] plot concerning almost every major alien species, planet, and character from the show's run [[spoiler:which ultimately turns out to be about eternal entropy versus eternal order]].

%% * ''Series/DoctorWho'' Fanfic: ''[[http://comics.shipsinker.com/2007/03/10/a-doctor-who-comic-the-10-doctors/ The Ten Doctors]]''.

** In ''Literature/{{Night Watch|Discworld}}'', Vimes is sent back in time whilst chasing a murderer, and Future!Vimes [[YouWillBeBeethoven has to step into the shoes]] of his own {{Mentor}} who's been killed by the aforesaid KnifeNut. He never reveals his identity to his teenage self though, in order to maintain the StableTimeLoop.

%%* ''Film/TheTimeTravelersWife'' is made of this trope.

** His ''Literature/AllYouZombies'' turns this UpToEleven, as the main character [[spoiler:is actually ''all'' the characters. At the beginning of the story, he is a man, but explains to a bartender that he was originally a woman, until one day she had a one-night stand with some guy and got pregnant. There were complications during the birth and surgery was required. When the doctors opened her up, they discovered she was a {{Hermaphrodite}} with a fully functioning set of internal male genitalia. Since her female genitalia were destroyed by the birth, the doctors just... swapped them out for the male ones and turned her into a man. The bartender then reveals to the protagonist that he is actually a time-travelling secret agent, and offers to take him back in time to get revenge on the deadbeat who knocked him up and disappeared on him. The protagonist agrees, but while back in time, he ends up seducing his past female self, eventually realizing ''he'' was the deadbeat. Meanwhile, the bartender travels ahead nine months, kidnaps the baby the protagonist gave birth to, and brings it further back into the past to drop off at the doorstep of an orphanage. The same orphanage the protagonist said he grew up in. Because ''[[MyOwnGrampa the baby is the protagonist too]]'', and the bartender's mission was to complete the StableTimeLoop of the protagonist's existence. The bartender then recruits the protagonist into the agency he works for and then goes home, where it is finally revealed to the reader that ''he's'' also the protagonist, meaning that this entire story had exactly one character in it]].

** The episode title "Three Faces of Phoebe" refers to Phoebe casting a spell that accidentally brings a child-version and elderly-version of herself into the present, so it's [[UpToEleven "Me, My Future Self, and I"]].

* In ''ComicBook/{{The Kingdom|DC}}'', Superman of the present-day (1998) as well as Batman and Wonder Woman meet up with their ''ComicBook/KingdomCome'' counterparts, believing them to be their future selves...until it is revealed that [[spoiler:they are actually future selves from an alternate timeline]].

* ''{{Manga/Doraemon}}'' has at least three noteworthy short stories in which [[ThisLoserIsYou Nobita Nobi]] visits his future self to check out his future relationship with his LoveInterest. These chapters are compiled into the CGI movie, ''Stand by Me: Doraemon''.

* ''Series/DoctorWho'' Fanfic: ''[[http://comics.shipsinker.com/2007/03/10/a-doctor-who-comic-the-10-doctors/ The Ten Doctors]]''.

* In''Film/AliceThroughTheLookingGlass'', whenever the Red Queen's past and future selves notice each other, it causes a wave that [[{{TakenForGranite}} freezes]] anything on contact.

* Deconstructed in ''Film/AliceThroughTheLookingGlass'' when the Red Queen's past and future self caused a wave that [[{{TakenForGranite}} freezes]] anything on contact, to appear when they noticed each other.

* In ''VideoGame/DragonQuestV'' [[spoiler:the main character]] meets a future version of himself disguised as an ordinary traveler with a seemingly innocuous request very early on. While the young version doesn't realize this, the resemblance between past and future versions is incredibly obvious to the player. Later in the game, [[spoiler:he goes back in time to swap the Gold Orb for a fake so that the real one is saved from destruction]].

* While this doesn't happen in the game itself, in Lucina's solo ending in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' notes that she held her younger self and whispered that hers would be a bright future before vanishing. Meanwhile Noire's solo ending says she stayed with her mother Tharja and her younger self, and it speculated Noire did so to protect her younger self from Tharja's curses. Also of note is that Cherche figured out that Gerome was her son because he was riding a future version of Minerva, who was identical to the Minerva ''she'' was riding.

* ''VideoGame/SoulcaliburVI'' features [[WhamEpisode a doozy of an example]] in Cassandra's Soul Chronicle, wherein [[spoiler:the Cassandra of the original ''VideoGame/SoulSeries'' timeline tips off [[AlternateSelf her current incarnation]] to future events, including Sophitia's death prior to ''VideoGame/SoulcaliburV'', prompting Cassandra to set off on her journey far earlier and [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong prevent]] a potential BadFuture]]. The only fans able to have seen this coming in any capacity were those familiar with ''New Legends of Project Soul'', an artbook released after ''V'' which noted that [[spoiler:Cassandra wound up trapped in Astral Chaos during the events of ''IV'']].

* ''Film/StarTrek2009'': [[spoiler:Spock meets Spock Prime. Spock figured out something was up when Kirk selectively withheld a few things, but it's only meeting his future self that Spock puts all the pieces together]].

* In ''ComicBook/TheKingdom'', Superman of the present-day (1998) as well as Batman and Wonder Woman meet up with their ''ComicBook/KingdomCome'' counterparts, believing them to be their future selves...until it is revealed that [[spoiler:they are actually future selves from an alternate timeline]].

** Later {{parodied|Trope}} in the episode "[[Recap/PhineasAndFerbLostInDanville Lost in Danville]]" when the kids meet Bernie, an old man who initially claims that he's Phineas from the future despite them looking nothing alike. He later claims to be Baljeet, who points out that they're of different races, then he claims to be Isabella, who tells him that doesn't even make sense.
