The fights between the Power Rangers and the Psycho rangers are what made me make this trope, but it seems like the page has been edited to lose the idea that the "dialogue" didn't happen and was just a joke to explain the trope.

If one of the Star Wolf members manages to shoot down their respective counterpart, they will go straight for Fox instead.

** Although Steve and Tony aren't similar in powers and are polar opposites in personality, they are the leaders of both of their teams and are both fighting for what they think is right.
** Natasha and Clint are PlatonicLifePartners to each other and are both ultra-deadly black ops spies that used to be partners during their S.H.I.E.L.D. days. Both are even pulling their punches against each other in the airport battle.
** Sam and Rhodes are both snarky African-American friends to their respective team leader, and both are USAF airmen with a suit that lets them fly.
** Vision and Scarlet Witch:
*** They are each powered with (close to) magical abilities coming from the Mind Stone.
*** They spend most of the first half of the film with each other in the base headquarters and debate the best way to help Scarlet Witch and her abilities be accepted by the public. Vision claims that it's best for the Avengers to defer to the accords in part because it will force the world to lose its fears of Wanda's abilities, while Wanda feels like the public will be scared of her no matter what path she chooses and decides to go for the path that will allow her to ultimately be more in charge of her fate.
** Spider-Man and Ant-Man:
*** They are both outsiders to the Avengers in general, with each having attained their powers relatively recently.
*** They also both have bug motifs and have been doing their hero work outside of the law for the duration of their careers.
*** Each are specifically recruited to action by a single Avenger (Tony Stark for Peter Parker, Sam Wilson for Scott Lang).
*** They are similarly star-struck when they meet the heroes for the first time and have to quickly acclimate to the seriousness of the situation.
*** They prove to be immensely capable in the airport battle, regularly turning the tide for their respective teams because they are extremely mobile and they carry abilities that take their opponents completely by surprise.
*** Ironically, they also end up [[MutualKill taking each other out of the fight]], when Spider-Man ties up Ant-Man's legs for him to be taken out by Iron Man and War Machine, but ends up slammed through a pile of crates for his trouble.
** Black Panther and Bucky Barnes:
*** They aren't official Avengers and get drawn in as a direct result of the team's fight with the official villains. Crossbones's bomb ends up killing several Wakandans, leading to T'Challa and his father organizing the summit at which the Avengers plan on submitting to the accords. Zemo blows up the summit building while disguised as Bucky, killing T'Challa's father. As a result, Bucky is motivated to find out what is going on with Zemo's plot in order to clear his name while T'Challa becomes hell-bent on killing Bucky as revenge for his father.
*** [[spoiler:Both Bucky and Black Panther are also the only Avengers present to witness Tony and Steve's final fight, with Bucky helping Steve to fight Tony before the latter incapacitates him while T'Challa ends up capturing Zemo]].

** In the"[[MyWayEntertainment "[[WebVideo/MyWayEntertainment Gangsta Crizzab]]" episode, the Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers are beaten by their counterparts in a straight up fight. Instead of trying any confusion, they have to go back and get empowered weapons from Zordon, which pretty much breaks their rule of "don't escalate fights when you don't have to". to." The parody lampshades this with quotes like "It's time for some ''Black on Black crime!''"
** TheTropeNamer {{Trope Namer|s}} [[ThePsychoRangers Psycho Rangers]] knew the moves of their respective [[Series/PowerRangersInSpace Space Rangers]] inside and out, and by learning their voices, switched back the first time they tried an opponent switch. Then [[DemotedToExtra Blue]] [[HyperCompetentSidekick [[HypercompetentSidekick Ranger]] [[TheSmartGuy T.J.]] comes up with the idea of making everyone blue, and blue and, to make sure it works, having the Silver Ranger dress up as "Psycho Silver", Silver" to make the Psycho Rangers even more confused. It works, and the Psychos eventually resort to attacking each other to make sure [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou they are the only ones who can beat their counterparts]]. For the rest of this run of the Psycho Rangers, coordination wasn't needed again as the rangers could go 2-on-1 from this point forward.
*** ... And then they went right back to it both times the Psychos were revived. When it happened on ''Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy'', it resulted in two teams of Rangers going against the Psychos. The Black Space and Green Galaxy rangers, being the only color that changed regularly between seasons, went against the Black Psycho Ranger. The Magna Defender[[note]]The Silver Space Ranger wasn't involved.[[/note]] took on the regular villains.
** Played with when the [[Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder DinoThunder Thunder]] and [[Series/PowerRangersNinjaStorm Ninja Storm Storm]] Rangers played LetsYouAndHimFight, as the expected color-coding was averted. Yeah, the two Red Rangers fought each other, but the other two fights were a Yellow vs vs. a Blue, being based on gender instead of color (Yellow Dino Ranger vs Blue Ninja Ranger was the DesignatedGirlFight, Blue Dino vs vs. Yellow Ninja was between guys).
** However, colors rather than genders set thematchup match-up when ''PowerRangersSPD'' ''Series/PowerRangersSPD'' did a ranger-on-ranger Ranger-on-Ranger fight. Rather than switching, they win by simply having greater experience by this point, as the battle happens in the penultimate episode of the season.
