* ''Fanfic/CrossAngeTheKnightOfHilda'': Aside from the canon example of Salamandinay, there's Dark, Embryo's vassal who has fair hair (white), a mysterious past, and is the arch-rival of the protagonist (Rio), representing the more villainous aspects of Char. He also has his own AceCustom mecha in Baretta, which earned the title of "The Nightmare of Neo-Zion" from the previous Libertus. [[spoiler:It's later revealed that he's a LITERAL clone created by Embryo]].

** Emperor Barodius and Dharakinoid in ''Gundalian Invaders'' are Chars of themselves in ''Mechtogan Surge'', now [[spoiler:Mag Mel and Razenoid.]] They've been so warped by evil, they've cast off their old identities.

** ''Anime/BakutenShootBeyblade'': Hitoshi Kinomiya wears a mask at the start while he goes by the name Jin of the Gale and later switches to shades during the final arc. He plays TheMentor to the protagonist, who is his little brother and has much darker hair than him, and later to the ostensibly strongest blader of all. His bit-beast Metal Driger is basically an AceCustom of the original Driger.
** ''Anime/MetalFightBeyblade'': Phoenix wears red, a blond wig, and a silver mask. He has an [[AceCustom unusual and very powerful beyblade]] and is [[spoiler:the protagonist's father, thought to be dead]].

Char Clone is a character-specific subtrope of FountainOfExpies. Compare StockShonenRival, and ReiAyanamiExpy. [[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant Not to be confused]] with expies of [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Charmander, Charmeleon, and Charizard]]. See also RedplicaBaron; Char being an expy of Richthofen makes this whole trope an expy of an expy of the original RedBaron.

Char Clone is a character-specific subtrope of FountainOfExpies. Compare StockShonenRival, and ReiAyanamiExpy. As mentioned above, one of the typical traits of a Char Clone is having an estranged family member on the enemy side, which frequently leads to ProdigalFamily situations. See also RedplicaBaron; Char being an expy of Richthofen makes this whole trope an expy of an expy of the original RedBaron.

* ''[[Creator/ChoiceOfGames Mecha Ace]]'', a digital {{Gamebook|s}}, features a rival AcePilot named Commandant Camille Hawkins, complete with blond hair, CoolMask, AceCustom mech, and RedBaron status. Biggest difference is a blue colour scheme instead of red... and potentially a GenderFlip (the player can optionally select NPC genders).

** [[TheComputerIsYourFriend Zein]] in ''Series/KamenRiderOutsiders'' is of the ''Char's Counterattack'' variety. Zein is a mysterious artificial intelligence that poses as a BenevolentAI seeking to study all of humanity's positive traits, when in reality it seeks to [[HobbesWasRight subjugate humanity because of their capacity for evil]]. It's goal of using the DeadlyGame ''[[Series/KamenRiderExAid Kamen Rider Chronicle]]'' to trick humanity into self-destruction is an allegory of Char's attempt of dropping the Axis asteroid on Earth to force mankind to migrate into space.

Incidentally, Char himself is based off Manfred von Richthofen, ''the'' RedBaron (at least in terms of characterization. His visual design was based on Prince Sharkin of ''Anime/{{Raideen}}'', while his name is a reference to famous French singer Charles Aznavour).

* ''VideoGame/PokemonScarletAndViolet'' gives us a pokemon based on the trope with Charcadet, a small, humanoid fire-type that resembles a young soldier in red with an elaborate helmet and mask, which can evolve into either the larger red humanoid Armarouge, gaining elaborate shoulder armor, giving it a passing resemblance to Char's Zaku, or the purple Ceruledge, who uses hand-mounted energy weapons not unlike the Zeong (though {{Laser Blade}}s rather than FingerFirearms). Its evolved forms gain either psychic or ghost as a secondary typing, referencing Char's developing Newtype powers in the later part of the series, and perhaps his tormented relationship with the ghost of Lalah Sune in the final act. What really drives home the fact that it's a deliberate ShoutOut to ''Gundam'', however, is the fact that Charcadet's shiny version is identical to the normal one apart from having blue eyes, a reference to Casval [[PrinceAndPauper and]] [[IdenticalStranger the]] [[TheRealRemingtonSteele real Char Aznable]] in ''Manga/MobileSuitGundamTheOrigin'''s flashback arc.

* Toyo Momochi from ''VideoGame/ActionTaimanin'' checks all three boxes. He's the ArchEnemy to one of the protagonists [[spoiler:not just Asagi Igawa, but also Kotaro Fuuma]] and has an estrange daughter who happens to be a Taimanin herself, and was Asagi's mentor before becoming disillusioned with the current state of the world as a result of the Nomad acting as {{Shadow Dictator}}s to some world governments, he instigates a global ZombieApocalypse in a similar vein to Char's attempt of dropping the Axis asteroid on Earth to force humans into migrating into space. He also attempts to expose the Nomad's evils to the world which could lead into an all-out war between humanity and demonkind until there would be no survivors on either side, an allusion to Char's Dakar speech in ''[[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Zeta Gundam]]'' exposing the Titans and the corruption within the Earth Federation, [[BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork although Astaroth is the one who does the deed instead]].

A brief history of the original Char: in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'', he was TheRival to the main character. A mysterious [[CoolMask masked man]] with distinctive blond hair, he was an AcePilot called the [[RedBaron Red Comet]] with a penchant for piloting AceCustom mecha painted red (which was said to be [[Memes/{{Gundam}} three times faster]] than its mundane counterpart, despite the only visual difference being its [[RedOnesGoFaster color]]). Over the course of the series, it is revealed that Char has a [[HiddenAgendaVillain hidden agenda]] -- avenging his father, who was allegedly assassinated by the series BigBad -- and that his [[LongLostRelative estranged sister]] is part of the heroes' crew. The first indication of these goals came from leading Garma Zabi, who seemed to be a long time friend, into an enemy ambush where he was killed, and this was the start of him systematically targeting the Zabi family. In the sequel series, ''Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam'', he [[HeelFaceTurn joins the good guys]] under the PaperThinDisguise of "Quattro" to act as TheMentor for the new generation; his presence solidifies the twist in the series that [[YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters the heroic Federation of the original series had turned into the villains]]. His final appearance comes in the appropriately-named ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack'', where he's [[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor a villain again]], attempting to [[ColonyDrop drop a giant asteroid]] onto Earth [[WellIntentionedExtremist for the good of mankind]]. His self-righteous campaign involved leaking new technology to the heroes in the belief that he needed a WorthyOpponent at the top of their game to make his actions justified.

* Gray Fox of VideoGame/MetalGear hits different points in the series. In ''VideoGame/MetalGear2SolidSnake'', he is TheRival to Solid Snake, but they were completely inpersonal with each other. He was also TheMentor to Snake during the Outer Heaven uprising (at least in dialogue), and in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'', his sister Naomi Hunter, works for the heroes (though not in a noble way). He becomes Snake's mentor again during ''[=MGS=]'' in helping the latter during his mission.
