    Doppelganger

    Concept » Doppelganger appears in 1099 issues.

    A prominent trope among several forms of media including comic books. The Doppelganger denotes a villain who is nearly identical to the hero in many ways, including background, personality and powers, but uses his abilities for evil rather than good. In some cases, this is used to show the reader what the hero could have become. In others, the Doppelganger serves as a thematic foil for the hero.
