History Main / OddballDoppelganger

* SelfDemonstrating/{{Bizarro}} was originally this to Franchise/{{Superman}}. He's since been used as a full EvilTwin more often.

* SelfDemonstrating/{{Bizarro}} was originally this to Franchise/{{Superman}}. He's since been used as a "straight villain" more often.

Compare with EvilKnockoff and EvilTwin (the more sinister versions) and SendInTheClones (when multiple OddballDoppelganger characters are introduced to cash in on the popularity of the original). Can lead to OtherMeAnnoysMe.

* Didi is this to Gogo Bomango in ''[[{{Webcomic/Bomango}} Bomango]].'' Didi literally just budded off of Gogo's side, because Gogo got bored one day and decided to asexually reproduce. Her bubbly and intellectual personality is nearly the opposite of Gogo's violent and temperamental one. Interestingly, although they started out looking identical (first diverging when [[IdenticalTwinIDTag Didi cut her hair short),]] their physiques have drifted till they don't even look much alike any more, with Didi being noticeably shorter and more svelte, while Gogo now has the muscles of a weightlifter.

* ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob:'' Since Golly and Jolly are both ''biological'' clones of Molly (not true "doppelgangers"), and were raised in very different environments than she was, it makes sense that their personalities are very different from hers (and from each other's), even if they do share a lot of traits with her.

* In ''DexHamiltonAlienEntomologist,'' when it's revealed that Jenny Ten was actually the tenth of a series of genetically engineered clones, we meet her "sister," Jenny Eight. Our Jenny wants nothing to do with Eight because she feels (quite understandably) that Eight threatens her sense of individuality. By story's end, though, we realize that their personalities are actually quite different, and the two reconcile.

* Wario may have been a villian in his first appearance but has since become this to [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]]. Likewise Waluigi was a much darker EvilTwin in his [[VideoGame/MarioTennis first appearance]] but is now just awkward and annoying. The Wario Bros are still somewhat antagonistic but are usually PlayedForLaughs and now only show up to play [[VideoGame/WarioWare minigames]] or [[GoKartingWithBowser try to cheat at sports.]]

* Bizarro was originally this to Franchise/{{Superman}}. He's since been used as a "straight villain" more often.

* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' has an episode where Dipper uses a photocopier, which has turned into a cloning machine. Just about all of his copies are virtually the same as him, save for the hat symbol. But at one point, the copier gets a paper jam. The result...yeah, it's not pretty.

* ''Franchise/CrashBandicoot'' has Fake Crash, who usually cameos as an easter egg in spin off titles, his occasional story involvement interchanges from good to neutral alliance. He differs from the already oddball Crash due to his enlarged eyebrows and teeth and dopier voice and demeanor.

* Played with in an episode of ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'' where Elaine comes across a "bizarro" version of her gang of guy friends. One member who is strangely like Jerry, one who is strangely like George, and one who is strangely like Kramer. The twist, however, is that these counterparts, though definitely reminiscent of the originals, are actually more "normal" than the regular gang.

* In ''SupermanBatman Annual #1'', a crazy Earth-3 version of Deathstroke appears--who is strongly implied to be MarvelComics' {{Deadpool}}.

* A ''[[WesternAnimatios/TheSimpsons Simpsons]]'' episode has an appearance by "Lester and Eliza", looking like Bart and Lisa as they were first drawn.

[[caption-width-right:350:The left being only relatively Cuckoolandian.]]

* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' The local MadScientist's son creates an OffModel clone of Stan. It's got an oversized head, one arm is elongated, and about all it can say is "Bachamp, bachamp."

* Kanchome from ''Manga/ZatchBell'' can transform into replicas of other charecters, but they're far from perfect. One had a nose that would make Cereno De Burgerac feel normal and another has a forehead as big as the torso, luckily for him the people he had to fool were idiots

* WebAnimation/HomestarRunner has Homsar. Strong Bad also has Senor Cardgage (as well as several others, which takes up more than half of the webshow's LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters).

* Macro from [[WebVideo/EchoChamber [citation needed]]]. Subverted when it's revealed that [[spoiler: he is not a clone at all, but Micro's long lost twin brother. And the reason for his odd and childish behaviour is that he was on a ton of medication for a disease in his legs.]]

* Bunny from WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls. Same dress design, has a B name, and like the others has a different color scheme to make her different from the other three..... Besides the fact that she is mentally handicapped and is very physically deformed.
* WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo had [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/12/Scooby-cousins-1976.jpg Scooby Dum]], the dimwitted cousin to the eponymous character.

* In ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}/ComicBook/Batman Annual #1'' a crazy Earth-3 version of Deathstroke appears - who is strongly implied to be MarvelComics' {{Deadpool}}.
