Composite Character in Webcomics.


  • 5 Years Later: Eon is a mix of both versions of himself. He basically the same Eon who appeared in Ben 10: Race Against Time, the key difference being that he won and successfully stolen that Ben’s body. He had to keep repeating the process ever time he burned out his current body and spent so much time jumping between alternate Bens that he actually started to believe he was Ben Tennyson.
  • Something*Positive does this with its Life Embellished cast, featuring at least a few people who are based off of various people the author has met, merged into one person.
  • El Goonish Shive merged a background character unofficially called Shy Girl with a minor character named Rhoda who then became more of a supporting character.
  • Arthur, King of Time and Space
    • The final strip of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer-pastiche arc had the revelation that Arthur (who up til then had been Xander) was a werewolf, and Guenevere realising this was also a Twilight pastiche. So..
      • Guenevere = Buffy Summers/Bella Swan
      • Lancelot = Angel/Edward Cullen
      • Arthur = Xander Harris/Jacob Black/Probably "Oz" Osbourne
    • Come to that, all the pastiche arcs make the characters into composites of the AKOTAS characters and the characters from the work being pastiched.
    • In the strip's take on the hunt where Arthur's horse dies under him and he then meets King Pellinore, the yeoman who brings Arthur a fresh horse is the same as the prophetic young boy who appears after Pellinore takes the horse and turns out to be Merlin.
    • In the M*A*S*H arc, Lancelot takes the role of Frank Burns but, being Lancelot, he lacks Frank's incompetence, making him more like Charles Winchester (he also has the fondness for classical music). Following Merlin-as-Henry getting shot down, he also becomes the counterpart to Colonel Potter.
  • In Darths & Droids:
    • In the equivalent campaign to Episode I, Chancellor Valorum is reimagined as a Cloud Cuckoolander who, in tribute to an actor they felt was wasted for such an unmemorable character, goes on strange tangents and publicly freewheels about turning everyone into cyborgs when it strikes him as a worthwhile pursuit ("Cyborgs under my command! Kneel before Valorum!") ...which pays off when General Grievous surfaces in Revelation of the Sith and says Something Only They Would Say.
    • In the equivalent campaign to Episode VII, Kylo Ren is the alien kid (Greedo in the film version) that Annakin got into a fight with back in Episode 1.
  • In-Universe example in Girl Genius with Master Payne's Circus's version of Agatha's story. The Lightning King has elements of Martellus von Blitzengaard (mechanical arm) and his distant relative Aaronev Sturmvoraus (white hair, mechanical daughter). His title reflects that both Martellus and Aaronev's son Tarvek have claimed the title of Storm King (although Tarvek has a different role as one of the Two Rival Princes).
  • In the Polandball comics, Israelcube doesn't just represents the state of Israel but also Jewish people throughout history prior to its foundation. Curiously, its also used to represent Jesus Christ individually whenever he is referenced either as an statue or the Nativity, rather than use a Christianityball, since he was Jewish.
  • Trek Wars is a comoposite parady of Star Wars, Star Trek and a bit of Spaceballs with a bit of Decomposite Character
    • Lirk Jaywalker resembles a female alien Han Solo complete with personality, with some Luke Skyawalker thrown in and having the captain role of James T. Kirk she later gains more resemblance to Darth Vader after becoming an Impure Lord
    • Lux Krayzar is a composite to Darth Vader and Grand Moff Tarkin, and is shown to take some aspects of Count Dooku with his outfit, but at the same time he is revealed as a seperate character to the Anakin based character.
    • Princess Lespa is a composite to Princess Leia and Princess Vespa she is also one with Ray and her father, as a the daughter of Valvatine, similar to the role of Palpatine's son and being the family member Valvatine atempted to turn to his side, like Ray
    • Emperor Ghan has Palpatine's original trilogy role and a name similar to Khan with some of Khan's role given to Elda, until it is revealed that Elda is Ghan and is revealed to be Lirk's sister, which is Leia's role and is the redeemed family member, which is Anakin's role.
  • Underhell has Charlie Magne take Toriel's role as Frisk's kindly mother figure and the one who tries to make Frisk stay with her by fighting them. Later its revealed she's also this with Malebolgia as the one who created the Hellspawn and made a deal with Al Simmons to come back to life in return for his services. Unlike the comic it's implied that the Hellspawn were created in an attempt to protect Hell from the Exorcists (after the failure of the Happy Hotel) and Charlie fully intended to honor her deal with Al but when it all ended in tragedy Lucifer forced her to abandon Al, thus subjecting Spawn to a miserable existence.
  • The xkcd strip "Greatest Scientist" describes "history's greatest scientist", and his absurd experiment, as a composite of Eratosthenes, Galileo Galilei, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Fleming, Ivan Pavlov, and (in the Alt Text) Isaac Newton.
