* ''Series/DoomPatrol'': This is how Crazy Jane's personas are supposed to work. Unfortunately for her, there's a reason she's a member of the [[SuperZero Doom Patrol]] instead of the Justice League: having a headspace full of close to 50 different personas, all of which have some sort of personality disorder, some of which are so extreme that they can't even comprehend how to take care of Jane's body when they're in control, does not lend itself to cooperation. A great deal of time in Jane-centric episodes is spent on the personas disagreeing with each other while Jane attempts to keep them in line and cooperating.

* In ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam00'', although they started out in a more standard JekyllAndHyde configuration, Allelujah and Hallelujah eventually develop into a duo that help each-other out depending on the required situation as well as occasionally [[SplitPersonalityMerge fusing]]. Allelujah acting as thought and moral while Hallelujah acts as instinct and drive. The [[IdenticalTwinIDTag visual cue]] to which personality is in charge at the moment is their MismatchedEyes. The left grey eye represents Allelujah, while the right gold eye is Hallelujah. Whichever personality is dormant will have their eye [[PeekABangs covered by their hair]]. But whenever they go all-out and fully merge, they sweep their bangs aside to show ''both'' eyes and become "the Super Soldier."

* In ''LightNovel/SoImASpiderSoWhat'', split personality is literally a power ("Parallel Minds") that characters can unlock by levelling up the multitasking skill ("Parallel Thought"). When the protagonist unlocks this skill, she makes extensive use of it by dividing their work. "Information Mind" (Kumoko's original mind) [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin handles processing information]] while "Body Mind" handles moving their body around. As she levels up Parallel Minds to gain more personalities, they become "Magic Mind #1" and "Magic Mind #2" whose job is to cast spells during battle so the other two minds don't have to focus any of their own attention on it. It's implied that the skill wasn't actually ''meant'' to be turned on permamently, and but Kumoko was kind of insane to begin with.

* ''Franchise/YuGiOh'': Before Yami's true nature and origin were revealed, everyone thought he was a SplitPersonality of Yugi (Yugi called him "other me"). As Yami was the better duellist and had the mind powers to punish cheating opponents, they switched out for battles. During their match against Pegasus, they relied on their bond and trust to duel him by switching between one another so Pegasus' mind reading won't work. However, it's later revealed that Yami is in fact the spirit of a Pharoah from thousands of years ago who was sealed within the Millenium Puzzle and is connected to a much grander scheme, with a running theme being what is the Pharoah's name. [[spoiler:Yami/Atem and Yugi's final duel serves to demonstrate that Yugi no longer needs Yami to fight for him, letting Yami move on to the afterlife.]]

The original Peter is referred to as "Science Pete", the ChildProdigy and OmnidisciplinaryScientist who's unfortunately clumsy and cowardly in a fight. "Mr. Parker" is TheSocialExpert who runs Parker Industries and engages in his interpersonal relationships.

"The Knight" is TheBigGuy and TheBrute as well as a ScarilyCompetentTracker, making him the go-to guy for finishing fights. These four personalities working in tandem has made him both a successful superhero and a technology magnate, but they often bicker about how to handle a situation.
