History Main / CainAndAbel

* There's a sidequest in the first ''MassEffect'' in which Nassana Dantius, an asari diplomat on the Citadel, asks you to rescue her sister, Dahlia, from slavers. [[spoiler:After you defeat the slavers, you find out that Dahlia was the ''leader'' of the slaver group. Who you killed. Nassana wanted Dahlia dead because having a slaver sister would possibly hamper her career.]]
** This is [[FridgeBrilliance actually kind]] [[HilariousInHindsight of funny]] due to the fact that her [[GreyDelisle voice actress]] voiced [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Azula.]]

* In ''Year One'', Cain and Abel are encountered early on by the main characters, who very nervously befriend Cain after the infamous act (which he violently denies) and ends up selling them into slavery. Later on, they meet Cain as a town guard of Sodom [[spoiler:and he sells them out to the king to be sacrificed.]]

[[caption-width-right:350:[[TropeNamer The brothers]], [[BlatantLies ironing out their differences]] (Well, FromACertainPointOfView, Cain is trying to iron out his differences with Abel by "ironing" him out).]]

*** Smeagol murders his best friend Deagol for possession of Sauron's One Ring, which slowly twists him into the wretched creature Gollum. Not quite brothers, but as close as.

* [[LukeCageHeroForHire Luke Cage]] and his brother Coldfire. [[ImmortalIronFist Iron Fist]] has the friendship version of this with Davos/Steel Serpent.

* Corey and Trina from ''''WesternAnimation/GrojBand'', though most of the animosity comes from the latter.

* ''{{Transformers}}'' has [[HumongousMecha Planet-sized]], TransformingMecha (that turn ''into'' [[ThatsNoMoon planets]]) {{Physical God}}s Primus and Unicron. Unicron is the BigBad GodOfEvil OmnicidalManiac seeking to destroy ''everything'' that isn't him. Primus is the BigGood who is [[GunPorn completely]] [[MoreDakka loaded with]] {{BFG}}s and {{Wave Motion Gun}}s seeking to thwart his brother. However, his trump card isn't any of that weaponry - it's ''the Transformers themselves.'' Unfortunately, they'd rather spend their time fighting each other.

* Megaman and Protoman are this in ''WesternAnimation/MegaMan''.

* In ''SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'', Weather Wizard tries to kill his younger brother when [[NotWhatISignedOnFor he backs out of his mass-murdering plan.]]

** Elan ''created'' a situation like this between his puppet Banjo the Clown and another puppet Giggles the evil Clown god of slapstick. Since deities are powered by belief, the two of them are actually gods now that an entire orc tribe worships Giggles and Banjo is his equally powerful rival. The orc high priest of Giggles liked Elan's suggestion that the two were brothers.

* Since his resurrection, [[DeadSidekick Jason Todd]] has repeatedly attacked his adoptive brothers [[{{Batman}} Dick Grayson and Tim Drake]]. It came to the point that in ''Battle for the Cowl'' he actually tried to kill them.
** [[TykeBomb Damian]] also has this toward Tim, basically reasoning that he would have to kill the then-current Robin to get Batman's respect. He's undergone some CharacterDevelopment since then, but there still isn't much brotherly love between him and Tim.

** Aion and Chrono from ''ChronoCrusade'' would probably qualify, as they often seem to be even more than brothers...in the manga Aion and Chrono were close friends and described as "like brothers"--demons in the series are BeePeople and don't exactly have the concept of family. [[spoiler:Except Chrono and Aion were turned into demons when their (human) mother was pregnant with them--[[LukeIAmYourFather they're twins]].]] Aion is rather obsessed with getting Chrono back on his side, although when he refuses Aion gleefully tortures him for it. The anime version makes the pair have a more distant relationship, but also implies that they're two sides of the same coin. (Not to mention giving the pair their fair share of HoYay.)

* Goku and Raditz from ''Anime/DragonBall Z''.

** [[spoiler: Though, in AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheSearch, Zuko is explicitly trying to improve his relationship with his sister, so it's possible that they'll work things out by the end.]]

** ''Franchise/MobileSuitGundamUnicorn'': [[spoiler:Alberto is The Half brother and Cain to Banagher and his Abel]]

* An adopted example: Franziska von Karma has some severe issues with her adopted "little brother" Miles Edgeworth. She's determined to outdo him in nearly everything, especially prosecuting, and is unhappy that she won't get to prosecute before he does (even though she's seven years younger than he is). Edgeworth doesn't seem to care very much, which only infuriates Franziska more.

* In the ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'', the main antagonist of both ''Film/{{Thor}}'' and ''Film/TheAvengers'' is ''ComicBooks/{{Loki}}'' who is the adopted brother of the hero and member of the Avengers ''ComicBook/TheMightyThor'' and tries to kill him multiple times throughout both of the films.
* ''SonOfTheMask'': Loki has always remained jealous of his Brother Thor & his Mighty Hammer, whom is Odin's favored son.

* Arthur and Morgana, now almost constantly, on ''Series/{{Merlin}}'' [BBC]

* Damon and Stefan Salvatore from ''TheVampireDiaries'', who've been in love with the same girl twice in the past century and a half. Currently subverted in that we've (almost) reconciled and save each other's lives more than they try to kill each other. Also Klaus and Elijah, who parallel Damon and Stefan's relationship.

* In ''KidIcarus'', Parthena and {{Medusa}}, sister goddesses of light and darkness respectively, have this type of relationship. It's not hard to guess which one is the [[DarkIsEvil evil one.]] It's subverted in that Parthena did not kill her herself, she only turned her into a monster and banished her. The angel Pit [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu finished]] the [[KillTheGod job.]]

* Sean and Eric Renard of ''Series/{{Grimm}}''. At this point, it ''looks'' like Eric is Cain to his half-brother's Abel, but it can be hard to say with these two. Their problems include serious philosophical differences about how the Wesen world should work, probable rivalry for power (Eric would seem to have the edge, being the legitimate royal, while Sean is the product of an extra-marital affair on their father's part), and the question of [[spoiler:which one is the father of Adalind's child]].
