* Inverted in Music/{{Eminem}}'s [[KayfabeMusic mythology]] - the good Marshall is dark-haired, while the evil Slim Shady (more of an EnemyWithin but often referred to as his 'evil twin') is bleached blond. This occasionally turns up in videos where the two of them interact directly:
** In the video for "When I'm Gone", Slim is performing on tour, blond and in a black suit, having abandoned his family and mental health to pursue fame. Dark-haired Marshall, in casual clothes, faces him down and [[RageAgainstTheReflection punches the mirror]], as the lyrics of the song describe Slim shooting himself in the head.
** The lyric video for "Framed" cuts back and forth between a blond Slim Shady performing a string of gruesome murders, and the dark-haired Marshall taking the rap for it. The video ends with Slim giving a SlasherSmile as he knows he got away with it.

** Xion to Kairi, though she is a zigzagged example. While a member of the mostly villainous Organization XIII, Xion herself is not evil per se, though the player is [[PlayerPunch forced to fight her]] when she commits SuicideByCop at the end of ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts358DaysOver2''. In ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII'', she appears again as part of the organization and made to fight with Kairi, until a painful revelation causes her to [[HeelFaceTurn switch sides]].

* In the Spanish fairy tale film, ''Blancaflor, la hija del diablo,'' a young man named Martin makes a DealWithTheDevil and ends up trapped in the underworld. He encounters the demon's two daughters, the lovely, blonde Blancaflor (White Flower) and the evil, raven-haired Sombragris (Grey Shadow), who are naturally played by the same actress. Blancaflor helps him escape and they plan to marry, but Sombragris tries to take her place.[[note]]Notably, Sombragris is a CanonForeigner to the original fairy tale. While the hero has to distinguish Blancaflor from her sisters, and later loses his memory and almost marries another princess, neither characters were particularly villainous.[[/note]]

* Vanessa for Ariel, Disney's ''WesternAnimation/{{The Little Mermaid|1989}}'', is a magically induced trope example of this trope. They actually look like each other, but Vanessa's constant scowling makes this less obvious.
** Ironically, Ursula was originally meant to have been Ariel's aunt, so it is tempting to think Ursula may have actually resembled Ariel in her youth.

* In ''Comicbook/XMen'' comics, the heroic Beast's evil counterpart from an alternate timeline is easily distinguishable for two reasons: unlike "our" Beast, he never got further mutated into a cat person, so he still looks like an ape person; and two, he... has darker fur for some reason, earning him the name Dark Beast (along with being, y'know, sadistically evil).
