History Main / BigBrotherWorship

* ComicBook/AllNewGhostRider has [[InspirationallyDisadvantaged Gabe]], who sings his brother's praises after the latter fights off a few bullies.
* In a case of Big Sister Worship, Wolverine's younger clone [[JuniorCounterpart Gabby]] in ComicBook/AllNewWolverine has this for her, citing her as her inspiration for becoming a good person, and even calling her "that perfect woman".
* ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'': The oldest Bat-boy, [[ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} Dick Grayson]], is also the best-regarded by both [[ComicBook/Robin1993 Tim Drake]] and [[ComicBook/BatmanGrantMorrison Damian Wayne]]--in the latter case, Dick proved to be the ''only'' one who would rein in his TykeBomb tendencies. [[AntiHero Jason]]'s relationship with any of his siblings is a bit more complicated, though.
* ComicBook/CosmicBoy's little brother Pol looks up to and idolizes him. When Pol grew old enough and skilled enough to join the ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes as Magnetic Kid he did so in a costume almost identical to the one Rokk wore when he started out.

* Loki's [[CainAndAbel hatred]] towards his brother ComicBook/TheMightyThor is matched only by his love for him. It's complicated.

** In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'', pretty much all the younger kids in Ordon Village look up to Link, with the exception of Malo (who likes Link, but doesn't admire him the same way the others do). This is especially true for Colin, as Link is basically an honorary member of his family and his older brother in all but name. When the children hide from the shadow beasts in Kakariko Village, Colin raises everyone's morale slightly by expressing his confidence that [[HopeBringer Link] will come to recue them.

** In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'', pretty much all the younger kids in Ordon Village look up to Link, with the exception of Malo (who likes Link, but doesn't admire him the same way the others do). This is especially true for Colin, as Link is basically an honorary member of his family and his older brother in all but name.

** ''Film/{{Black Widow|2021}}'' establishes that Yelena Belova adored her adopted older sister Natasha Romanoff when they were kids. When Yelena is freed from her brainwashing as an adult she reaches out to Natasha for help, referring to her sister as "the only superhero I know". [[spoiler:TheStinger shows Yelena visiting Natasha's grave following her death in ''Film/AvengersEndgame'' and she's clearly devastated by the loss.]]

* Kari in ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'', to the point that she hospitalizes herself ''twice'' not wanting to make Tai worry about her. In the ''Anime/DigimonAdventure02'' episode "Iron Vegiemon", she's disgusted when Davis starts trash-talking ''his'' older sister because she just can't comprehend not idolizing your sibling like that.

* In ''VideoGame/FatalFrame1'', Miku's primary motivation for entering the HauntedHouse is due to the bond she has with her older brother Mafuyu, who is the latest to disappear into the old house.
--> '''Miku''': "When I saw Mafuyu in that dream... I just wanted to be with him again."

* ''WebAnimation/{{Anon}}'': Kyle is adored by all his younger siblings, especially Ian, the second oldest.

** Charlotte Katakuri is the third of 85 children and apparently all of his 82 younger siblings look up to him and idolize him due to his personality, strength, position, and invincibility. According to Flampe, all of his 38 younger sisters selected him as their favorite brother. Brulee in particular looks up to him, to the point that she would claim that he never even laid himself down ''once''. [[spoiler:In the end, despite knowing what Katakuri is like behind closed doors through her mirrors, Brulee still loves and worships him unconditionally; this is because he went above and beyond to defend her honor after she was horribly scarred in the face by bullies as part of their RevengeByProxy]].

* ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'': The oldest Bat-boy, [[ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} Dick Grayson]], is also the best-regarded by both [[ComicBook/RobinSeries Tim Drake]] and [[ComicBook/BatmanGrantMorrison Damian Wayne]]--in the latter case, Dick proved to be the ''only'' one who would rein in his TykeBomb tendencies. [[AntiHero Jason]]'s relationship with any of his siblings is a bit more complicated, though.

* Sidon from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'' practically worships his late older sister, Mipha, becoming fast friends with Link partly because of Link's [[ChildhoodFriends shared history]] with her. Also, the only time he drops his otherwise unflinchingly positive nature is when he's angsting about living up to her memory as the heir to the Zora throne.

* ''Literature/TheSunneInSplendour'': Richard of Gloucester's early life is defined by his adoration and admiration for his older brother, King Edward IV, despite the two brothers having radically different personalities and Richard coming to disapprove of Edward's hedonism. Richard is so loyal, he even sticks by Edward when the smart money is on Lancaster.

* ''Fanfic/{{Spider-Ninja}}'': Petra Parker is visibly loyal to her family, especially her older brothers. She seems to be close with all of them.

* ''Fanfic/OneDayAtATimeFanfic'': All of Dick's siblings have this towards him, including the main protagonist Jason, decades after the original Dick's death. Dick was ultimately the one to pull Jason out of the rut he was in the wake of Bruce's death in the original timeline, and had the most faith in him and his potential to be a hero again. While he does acknowledge his older brother's faults, in the end Jason holds Dick's regard higher than anyone else's in the family, including their sister Cass (his LivingEmotionalCrutch) and their adoptive father Bruce.

* ''Anime/CuteHighEarthDefenseClubLove'' has Yumoto Hakone, who pretty much worships the ground that his [[PromotiontoParent his big brother and caretaker]] Gora walks on and aims to be as good of a man as he is.

** Thea, for Oliver, before he disappeared. After his return, that worship transforms into an equally-powerful mass of bitterness and anger with him, because of how badly his apparent death [[ItsAllAboutMe hurt her.]] It's worth considering that a large part of the reason Thea became a [[WhereDidWeGoWrong parental disappointment]], [[HalfDrinkingPartyGirl wild party girl]] and drug user, beside her stated reasons, is because ''that's how she remembered her brother'', and she wanted very badly to grow up to be just like him.
