** Given that Lord English, in both name and character, is partly inspired by [[NighInvulnerable Lord British]] of ''Main/{{Ultima}}'', it seems that his servant [[spoiler: [[MonsterClown Gamzee]]'s]] miraculous inability to die in all timelines, despite such extreme injuries as [[{{Determinator}} taking dozens of Caliborn's bullets in the chest]], makes him an expy of Chuckles.

* ''TheLawOfPurple'' has several characters who are explicitly expies of ''Anime/YuGiOh'' characters: Lette, who is Seto Kaiba with boobs and a sense of humor, Juni, who is based on Alister, and Carli/y/eigh, who is Zigfried von Schroeder.

* Starting from page #42, MagickChicks has featured human expys of the cast of WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic (Rarity as Chastity, Fluttershy as Skye, etc). As well as this, both MagickChicks and EerieCuties feature Tiffany Winters as an expy of [[{{Buffy the Vampire Slayer}} Buffy Summers]].

* ''Webcomic/SurvivorFanCharacters'', being based on the reality TV show, sometimes bases its characters on real-life ''Survivor'' contestants. Some of the most obvious examples are Season 3's Baxter and Montana having a dynamic patterned after the "ManipulativeBastard angers the jury too much to win" one like Boston Rob from ''All-Stars'', and Season 7's Ventious having the leadership and charisma of Tom of ''Palau'' or J.T. from ''Tocantins'' (but ''not'' the FlawlessVictory) and Ker from the same season being a lovable eccentric who ended up immunitying her way to the win much like Fabio's in ''Nicaragua''.

* Something of a subversion with Ping of ''MegaTokyo'', who is often thought to be an expy of [[{{Chobits}} Chii]]: they're both prototype consumer-product {{Robot Girl}}s with similar appearance (short, long hair, weird ear devices, etc.) who fall in love with a male protagonist. Ping [[http://megatokyo.com/strip/128 almost]] gets thrown in the trash; Hideki found Chii in the trash. The list goes on. But Chobits started serialization only a couple of months before Ping showed up, and the (remaining) author insists the similarity is just a coincidence.

* Grace, of ''ElGoonishShive'', definitely has nothing in common with SquirrelGirl... [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2002-05-25 oops]]. On the other hand, "{{cat girl}}"-to-"[[PettingZooPeople squirrel]] girl" substitution doesn't leave many options anyway.

* Dave's Bro from ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' shares a good number of similarities to [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Kamina]], being a CrazyAwesome [[KatanasAreJustBetter swordsman]] with CoolShades who looks after his little bro. Weirdly enough, [[WordOfGod Andrew Hussie never even heard of TTGL while or before creating Bro.]] On the other hand, Bro's rapping vetriloquist dummy Lil' Cal has shares a large number of traits with Franklin from ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment'', one of Hussie's favourite shows.

** In Act 6, we meet the Alpha kids, [[spoiler: aka alternate universe counterparts of the original kid's guardians, ]] who share some similarities to the [[spoiler: dead ]]trolls. Jane Crocker shares many similarities to [[GenkiGirl Feferi]] [[spoiler: and is related to her by adoption]], Jake English has similarities to [[BoisterousBruiser Equius]], Roxy is an odd mix of [[PlayfulHacker Sollux]], [[TheAlcoholic Gamzee]], and [[CatGirl Nepeta]], and Dirk is SequenceBreaker, being most similar to Rose.

* Masked vigilante [[Webcomics/TheFan Maelstrom]] is not completely unlike a certain mascot of a [[IronMaiden certain band]].

** If your definition of "looks after" is "uses his money from his [[{{Rule34}} creepy internet pornography business]] to buy [[FinalFantasy a jumble of unbelievably shitty swords]] instead of food, then breaking every bone in his little brother's body [[MarionetteMaster with a puppet]] before RidingIntoTheSunset on his rocket board," then yeah, they're practically the same.
