** ComicBook/EobardThawne is present in the game using the "Reverse-Flash" moniker, but in one mirror match interaction, his opposite version refers to himself with his [[IHaveManyNames also-historically-used]] alias "Professor Zoom".

** ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom2'' is a curious example, having on its roster two different versions of ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}: one with the bone claws (as seen in ''[[ComicBook/FatalAttractionsMarvelComics Fatal Attractions]]''), and one with his regular adamantium claws. In fact, nothing's going to stop you from having both of them on the same team.

** This is lampshaded in ''Capcom's Marvel fighting games''. In ''VideoGame/MarvelSuperHeroes'', ComicBook//SpiderMan's win quote is even: "Just what I needed, another clone!" (As if ComicBook/TheCloneSaga wasn't enough.)

** It's justified in the case of Brainiac in the Multiverse mode, where it turns out that the Brainiac you play is actually [[ComicBook//LegionOfSuperheroes Brainiac-5]], who went back in time to defeat his predecessor and redeem his race.

** [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Scarecrow]] is a playable fighter by way of a hallucinated HumanoidAbomination, usually by releasing [[SupernaturalFearInducer his fear gas]] near his opponent at the start of each match. Putting two Scarecrows in a battle will prompt them to question the nature of the fight, suggesting it's from [[HoistByHisOwnPetard a side-effect of one Scarecrow's own fear gas]], Crane having a nightmare of fighting himself, or [[BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind a battle between his Id and Ego]]. Whichever way, it's implied there's only one actual Johnathan Crane.

** IIt's possible to make characters fight themselves in battle modes since there are no restrictions for selecting characters that were already chosen by/for another opponent.
