** Downplayed in the 2021 story "Trinity", a one-shot from ''ComicBook/TwoThousandAD'' #2262, where Dredd encounters and must briefly team up with parallel versions of himself representing the [[Film/JudgeDredd 1995]] and [[Film/{[Dredd}} 2012]] film adaptations. Being all Dredds, they get some snide commentary on each other in; their first meeting has 2012!Dredd jeering at the fanciful designs of Dredd and 1995!Dredd's uniforms, which causes the original to mock 2012!Dredd's visibly body armor-inspired outfit in turn. Dredd mocks his counterparts for not having the advanced super-tech of his world, and neither Dredd nor 2012!Dredd think highly of 1995!Dredd's "Double-Whammy" Lawmaker round, nor his willingness to use his helmet as a decoy to apprehend the perp they're after. However, the biggest bone of contention is between Dredd and 2012!Dredd due to the latter's [[JudgeJuryAndExecutioner standard policy being to execute any lawbreakers]]. Dredd feels 2012!Dredd is too harsh, whilst 2012!Dredd in return calls his counterpart out as too soft.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewGroove'', Kuzco spends the first half of the story [[HowWeGotHere narrating his life up to getting turned into a llama]]. After experiencing some CharacterDevelopment, [[BreakingTheFourthWall Kuzco gets into an argument with Narrator Kuzco, telling him to shut up]], and there's no narration for the rest of the story.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' episode "Weirdmageddon 2: Escape from Reality", [[SeekerArchetype Dipper]] discovers that [[CloudCuckoolander Mabel]] has been trapped in a LotusEaterMachine that creates [[SugarBowl her idea]] of an [[CrapsaccharineWorld apparently]] "perfect world." Although she wants him to stay, she has prepared a "backup Dipper," [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXO0f2fh6fo Dippy Fresh]], who's [[TotallyRadical more to her taste]].

* ''Series/Loki2021'': The protagonist Loki, having watched years of CharacterDevelopment of his main timeline self in minutes and then getting even more himself, including falling in love for the first time, looks embarassed and annoyed watching a bunch of Lokis [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder backstab]] each other for a pointless throne.

* In one OVA of ''LightNovel/TheSlayers'', Lina and Naga face a man who'd obtained a sealed weapon forged by a magician: a magic mirror that created a doppelganger of anyone it reflected with a perfectly opposite personality. While the opposites were too pacifistic to fight, they did drive Lina and Naga into near insanity. In the light novels it is made even worse, as after defeating the enemy they desperately tried numerous methods to destroy the artifact, only for each attempt to result in more doppelgangers. There is supposedly a town somewhere in the Slayers universe made completely of Lina and Naga clones.

** When Gwenpool pulls different versions of herself from the timeline (as a metacommentary on [[DependingOnTheWriter her inconsistent personality]]) in ''[[ComicBook/TheUnbelievableGwenpool Gwenpool Strikes Back]]'' , the other Gwens are embarrased by the Gwenpool from ''ComicBook/RocketRaccoon and ComicBook/{{Groot}}''.

* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6325752/1/Better-than-you Better Than You]]'', WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated Shockwave ends up in the WesternAnimation/TransformersGeneration1 universe, and is forced to spend the entire day with his G1 counterpart. The two repeatedly butt heads with each other, although they seem to have developed some level of respect for each other by the end.

** In the season 4 finale, "Star Mort: Rickturn of the Jerri," it is revealed that [[spoiler:Rick really did end up cloning Beth at the end of "The ABCs of Beth." While one Beth stayed at home, without knowing of the other, the other Beth went into space to travel the universe like her father. When Space!Beth returns and encounters Home!Beth, the two butt heads right away, The former seeing the other as weak, and the latter seeing the other as just like their father. They eventually set aside their differences and get along by the end of the episode, however]].

* ''Film/{{Looper}}: Upon meeting his younger self, Old Joe seems to hold Joe in nothing but contempt.

* In WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged during the Cell arc, Cell is made from the DNA of the Earth's strongest fighters and can mimic their energy signatures. Once when Cell was powering up, Vegeta could sense his own energy signature and it was stronger than his own, leading him to threaten to kill himself. Later on when Cell and Vegeta both say at the same time how much they hate Goku, they both become enraged that they are agreeing with each other.

** "Big Trouble in Little Sanchez" has Beth and Jerry go to alien marriage counseling which shows couples how the other sees them... by [[{{Tulpa}} creating a monster out of each partner's perception of the other]]. Then they show how to make their relationship work and have the monsters love each other. Beth and Jerry's monsters are a giant insect and a spineless worm--and worse, they're codependent, which allowed them to escape! The only way they could stop them is creating a Goddess Beth to kill them. [[spoiler: It should come as no surprise that Beth and Jerry divorce.]]

* In ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'', Commander Shepard, who by this point is FamedInStory because of the events of [[VideoGame/MassEffect1 the first game]], is told about a VI (an artificial not-all-that-intelligence, much like a computerized personal assistant) modeled after him/her. In the third game, s/he can actually find one and it promptly begins throwing out dialogue tangentially related to Shepard's imported [[KarmaMeter reputation]], boasting that it can predict the real Shepard's responses with ''17%'' accuracy. If anything, the real Shepard is [[DoIReallySoundLikeThat horrified that it might be that high]].

* In one OVA of ''LightNovel/TheSlayers'', Lina and Naga face a man who'd obtained a sealed weapon forged by a magician: a magic mirror that created a doppelganger of anyone it reflected with a perfectly opposite personality. While the opposites were too pacifistic to fight, they did drive Lina and Naga into near insanity. In the light novels it is made even worse, as after defeating the enemy they desperately tried numerous methods to destroy the artifact, only for each attempt to result in more doppelgangers. There is supposedly a town somewhere in the Slayers universe made completely of Lina and Naga clones.

** During a VisionQuest, Applejack meets her counterpart Orangejack, and they argue and briefly fight. Applejack is annoyed that Orangejack abandoned the farm to become a business pony, and got a loving husband and children out of it. Orangejack is annoyed that Applejack stayed on the farm and basically did nothing with her life except being a farmer, and got to become a hero and have lots of friends. They make peace when they realize they are NotSoDifferent with how they feel about their loved ones.

* {{Averted}} by the Lutece "twins" [[spoiler:actually the same person from neighbouring universes, identical save for "a single chromosome"]] in ''VideoGame/BioShockInfinite''. Though they engage in some friendly SiblingRivalry, they're clearly very fond of each other. [[spoiler:It's even ''heavily'' implied that they're actually [[ScrewYourself in love with one another]].]]

** This is how [[Franchise/SpyroTheDragon Classic Spyro]] and [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfSpyro Legend's Spryo]] tend to act around each other. They've gotten better about it... ''Mostly''.

** This can be particularly horrifying for a Looper if their baseline self is ''evil'', either because they're a villain who underwent a HeelFaceTurn during the Loops, or - more rarely, but not unheard of - a hero whose baseline self underwent a FaceHeelTurn during an Expansion. The latter was the case with [[spoiler: [[WebAnimation/{{RWBY}} James Ironwood]]]], whose canon actions after [[spoiler:Volume 7]] were so horrible that his Looping self underwent a HeroicBSOD after experiencing the Expansion loop, and no longer considers the two of them to even be the same person.

* In the ''Fanfic/AftermathOfTheGames'' universe, Puppy Spike and Dragon Spike can't stand each other. Every time they interact, it leads to an argument, whether it's over the benefits of each other's species, who was cuter as an infant, or whose crush is prettier.
* When Armani and Selene first meet each other in ''Fanfic/BrokenBow,'' they immediately get into a fight. However, once matters are straightened out, they get along well enough.

* Used to chilling extent in the ''Theatre/{{Wicked}}'' fanfic ''Fanfic/TheLandOfWhatMightHaveBeen'', when Elphaba and others find themselves in an alternate universe where the key divergence is that the Elphaba of this reality was subjected to a complex surgery that gave her a normal appearance, but at the cost of driving her utterly insane, fixated on the idea that she only became 'good' when she became beautiful, and thus determined to force others to become beautiful even if that means corrupting their minds. To date the two Elphabas have only interacted directly by proxy- with Empress Elphaba communicating with the true Elphaba through a charm on her champion- but that conversation was particularly harsh, with each resenting what the other represents.

* One issue of ''ComicBook/AstroCity'' features a comic book editor who publishes fictionalized stories about the local supers. The heroine Nightingale pays him an irate visit to complain about his insinuations of a lesbian relationship between her and her sidekick Sunbird, and then the villain Glowworm beats the crap out of him for depicting him as a white supremacist. He decides to switch to stories about cosmic entities who (he thinks) are above caring what humans say about them. It turns out that they are {{not so above it all}}; one day, his office building vanishes with him in it.

** [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWhoNEDASRavenous4E3DayOfTheMaster "Day of the Master"]] has the Eric Roberts, War Master and "Missy" incarnations working together. However, it's only Missy who irritates the others, mainly by constantly flirting at the "Deathworm" version and trying (''very'' badly) to imitate his host's American accent, but also by being the most completely unhinged of the three. By contrast, the War and Roberts Master get along fairly well, with the War Master basically taking charge of the trio, [[spoiler:and they all work together in the end to grant another version of themselves- the one who will become the Bald Master, between Roberts and the War Master -- a full regeneration cycle]].

* Creator/MarvelComics: In the ''IdentityWars'' miniseries ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}, ComicBook/SpiderMan and [[ComicBook/IncredibleHulk the Hulk]] cross over into an alternate dimension. Spider-Man's alternate version is a WellIntentionedExtremist, which annoys Spidey. Deadpool gets along famously with his alternate until he discovers that alt-Deadpool isn't Wade Wilson, it's [[spoiler:Victor Von Doom]]. Alt-Wade Wilson is a BigBad who Deadpool takes down. Bruce Banner discovers that he can't turn into the Hulk in this dimension and is overjoyed, until that gets reversed. Then alt-Hulk and Hulk duke it out.

** In "[[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho169TheWrongDoctors The Wrong Doctors]]", the later Sixth Doctor finds his earlier sixth incarnation (pre-CharacterDevelopment) to be completely full of himself and likewise, the earlier Sixth Doctor doesn't care much for his calmer self. The two incarnations of Mel don't get along, to the point where one punched the other out! (although it should be noted that [[spoiler:the younger Mel was essentially being brainwashed and her mental energy used by an external attacker that compromised her mental state]]).

** In [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWhoSpecialsTheLightAtTheEnd "The Light at the End"]], this is subverted for the most part; the Second and Third Doctors don't get along as usual, but the Sixth finds the Seventh to be charming company and the Fourth and Eighth work very well together.
