Divergent Character Evolution	comment	Named after the biological phenomenon known as Divergent Evolution, where two closely related species develop wildly different traits over time. Here it means an act of Character Development wherein a character who was extremely similar to another character is given his or her own identity. This is extremely common in video games, where characters who were originally identical to the lead (usually to allow for two-player play, or just because the lead is popular) are often given their own special abilities and personality quirks in later games. It can also happen in crossovers when two characters that were very similar in their own series are allowed to interact with each other. Related to Derivative Differentiation. See also Cast Speciation, Not So Similar, Replacement Flat Character, Mirror Character. Compare Characterization Marches On. For in-universe examples, see Duplicate Divergence and Twin Desynch.

Divergent Character Evolution / int_11a510c	comment	The Bella Twins's initial act was as a pair of identical sisters who looked, wrestled, and acted the same (so they could pull off a Twin Switch). As of 2013, Nikki had gotten breast implants and started powerlifting to give herself Amazonian Beauty in contrast to Brie's waifier frame. Total Divas established Brie as a level-headed, hard-drinking Granola Girl, and Nikki as a passionate lover of high fashion and expensive gifts. Ring-wise, Nikki came to wrestle a more power-based offence and Brie opted for more aerial moves.

Divergent Character Evolution / int_1338fbdc	comment	The opera CosÃ¬ Fan Tutte, by composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte, focuses on two sisters, Fiordiligi and Dorabella, who are seduced by two strangers who are actually each other's fiancÃ©s in disguise. In the first act, the two women have almost identical personalities and musical styles, and usually sing together. In the second act, as they begin to fall for their new suitors, their personalities begin to diverge, with Dorabella's music becoming more lighthearted and Fiordiligi's more serious and passionate.

Divergent Character Evolution / int_1b9cbd70	comment	CN Akumas: In the original Powerpuff Girls cartoon, the Rowdyruff Boys started out nigh-identical to each other but eventually started getting their own individual personality traits. CN Akumas ends up taking the divergence even further — Boomer is a vain Brainless Beauty but also the nicest of the three, Brick is the hotheaded leader with some Hidden Depths, and Butch is both the meanest of the three and The Stoner. In Johnny Test, Susan and Mary were practically Single-Minded Twins, with only one or two minor personality differences between them. In CN Akumas, theyâ€™ve been re-written to be a downplayed example of The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry; Mary is still intelligent but more outgoing, fashionable, and superstitious, while Susan is introverted and highly logical in her thinking.

Divergent Character Evolution / int_1bdeba5a	comment	X-Men: In the first few issues, most of the core characters were clear expies of characters from the more-popular Fantastic Four. Professor X was a fatherly scientist like Mister Fantastic, the Beast was a tough-talking brute like the Thing, Marvel Girl was an innocent young ingenue with levitation abilities like Invisible Girl, Iceman was the cocky young Plucky Comic Relief like the Human Torch (but with ice powers instead of fire powers), and Magneto was a megalomaniac super-villain with a distinctive metal helmet like Doctor Doom. But as the series gradually became more popular, most of the characters gradually developed their own unique roles and personalities: Professor X became more of a Mentor Archetype and a political activist, while his surrogate son Cyclops came into his own as the team leader; the Beast became a Badass Bookworm who uses flowery speech, even as his appearance became more bestial note Though it should be noted that as an aviator, engineer, and astronaut, Ben Grimm is himself smarter than he looks; Marvel Girl became a powerful telepath, and started going by her real name "Jean Grey"; and Magneto became a tormented Well-Intentioned Extremist who eventually redeemed himself and became an antihero. As a whole, the X-Men also became established as Mutant freedom fighters hated by most of the public—strongly contrasting the Four, who were beloved celebrities.

In the first few episodes, Griselda seems to be more snarky while Fenella is more caring. This difference is dropped quickly, and both become Cool Big Sises to the first years. Ruby and Jadu were the Token Minority characters in the Five-Man Band without too much to distinguish them. As the show went on, Ruby's love of modern conveniences was expanded on to make her something of a Gadgeteer Genius. Jadu doesn't get the same development but does show herself to be a great motivational speaker more than once.

Summer grew more likeable, became a main character and hooked up with Seth. Holly had an affair with Marissa's boyfriend and was quickly Put on a Bus after the cheating was revealed.

After they united to form the Justice League, their personalities became more diversified so that they could play off of each other more effectively. Superman became more friendly and idealistic, Batman became more cold and stoic, Wonder Woman became more proud and regal, Green Lantern became more cocky and adventurous, and The Flash became more plucky and fun-loving.

Divergent Character Evolution / int_25818ae2	comment	Early in his career, Sting wrestled in a tag team as "Flash" Borden alongside Jim Hellwig (who would later become better known as "The Ultimate Warrior"), and his look and persona were very similar to his: bleached blond hair, flamboyant personality, clean-cut All-American attitude, and colorful face paint. The two would ultimately go their separate ways in 1987 after Hellwig was signed to WWF as the Ultimate Warrior, while Sting went to Jim Crockett Promotions (later renamed WCW). By the early 1990s, Sting gradually adopted a more distinct look and ring presence, growing out his naturally black hair and wearing darker colors, and displaying a more low-key personality. But during his iconic feud with Hulk Hogan and the New World Order in 1996, he drastically overhauled his entire persona by adopting a gothic alter ego inspired by The Crow—complete with ghost-white face paint, all-black clothing (including a trench coat), and an eerily silent and stoic demeanor. His new look and attitude proved to be so popular with fans that they've endured to this day.

Divergent Character Evolution / int_2675c915	comment	In Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Agents Fitz and Simmons were originally treated as near-identical quirky British lab techs. In fact, in the series premiere, they were first referred to as "Fitz-Simmons" and it was only later clarified to the audience that they are in fact two separate people. Their only major differences at first were gender, place of birth, and specialty, with Leo Fitz being a male Scottish engineer and Dr. Jemma Simmons a female English biochemist. Over the course of the first season, more differences crop up; Fitz is a Cowardly Lion with a crush on Simmons he canâ€™t bring himself to tell her about, while Simmons is a bit of a Nightmare Fetishist but a horrible liar. The second season has split them up and put them in different situations several times, and by the time they admit their love and become a couple in the third season, they have both adequately evolved into separate characters.

Holokara is a hologram programmed with all of Linkara's memories, whom he calls in when he leaves to find out why his magic stopped working, and starts off as basically identical to him. Then Linkara finds out that his magic stopped working because he was starting to become increasingly arrogant and self-centered and the magic gun feared he was becoming evil. This leads him to begin working on improving himself. While he's doing this, however, Holokara (who never had such an epiphany) heads further and further down the slippery slope, eventually threatening to brutally murder 90s Kid and Harvey if they get in the way of his reviews and developing a plan to bomb the Marvel offices if they don't Retcon all the ways they've screwed up his favorite heroes over the years. And this is what Linkara would have become had he not gone on his journey.

By the end of the Forest of Death, Sakura took a huge leap in terms of character development. She became nicer, her feelings for Sasuke were developing into actual love, and she received an Important Haircut. After Ino and Sakura rekindled their friendship, Ino began behaving nicer too and eventually stopped crushing on Sasuke. By Shippuden Ino was more fashionable and upbeat than Sakura, while Sakura became more tomboyish and fought with her fists more. In-series, Sakura and Ino actually were more individual pre-series but became more bratty and similar after they learned they both liked Sasuke.

Divergent Character Evolution / int_30b255fb	comment	When Supergirl was first introduced in 1958, she wasn't appreciably different from Superman apart from her age and gender—and even her age didn't set her apart from Superman that much since she debuted when Superboy (following the adventures of a teenage Clark Kent) was already a popular long-running comic book. To make her more unique, most modern interpretations of the character strongly emphasize the Child of Two Worlds aspect of her backstory: unlike her cousin Kal-El (who was sent to Earth as an infant, and has effectively no memories of the planet Krypton), Kara Zor-El grew up on Krypton and wasn't sent to Earth until she was a teenager—meaning that her Kryptonian heritage is a deeply ingrained part of her identity, and she actually has to struggle to adjust to human culture.

Fullmetal Alchemist (2003) delegates this role to Brosh and makes Ross more serious; it also develops her into something of a surrogate mother figure for Edward. The manga followed suit to an extent, throwing Ross into the serious portions of the plot and leaving Brosh on the sidelines.

Rich playboy persona, underground cave, goofy-themed car, red-clad teen sidekick, he had it all. Later books evolved him to be fairly different from Batman, highlighting Oliver Queen's "playboy" part over the "rich" part. He eventually branched into politics of all things, becoming a famously loud-spoken far-left activist, something fairly unheard of among superheroes at the time.

Officially, it's currently ambiguous whether they are the same character or not, but evidence from prior to the release of Kirby 64 makes it seem fairly clear that Adeleine was at the very least originally meant to be Ado herself. Most notably, the design used for Ado in manga adaptions looks almost exactly like Adeleine's eventual look. But these days, fans who consider them to be different characters distinguish them via the different traits they sport in Dream Land 3 and Kirby 64 respectively.

Divergent Character Evolution / int_3aeb1c75	comment	Dragon Ball: Dragon Ball Super: Kale, the Universe 6 Saiyan, was created due to Broly's popularity. The first time she turned Super Saiyan, she behaved like a gender-swapped Broly of Movie 10. However, this side of her slowly changed so that her berserker transformation was treated more like a Hulk-like Superpowered Evil Side blinded by rage, instead of Broly's Ax-Crazy Blood Knight personality. By the end of the series, she managed to control such power and become distinct enough in terms of moveset and character relationship compared to her inspiration. No. 17 and No. 18 didn't have very distinct movesets, and such, video games would often give them some moves of the other. It isn't until the Tournament of Power that their movesets start to differentiate from each other, as No. 17's Barrier becomes his Signature Move and has different variations of it, whereas his older twin never uses a Barrier in the entire series since her introduction in the Cell Saga. In fact, No. 18's movesets is rather generic for the series' standard.

Divergent Character Evolution / int_3afb0bd2	comment	When Alpha Flight first appeared in the pages of X-Men, the twins Northstar and Aurora first appeared as Half-Identical Twins with identical mutant powers (super speed, flight, and generating blinding light when they touch), matching costumes, and being stereotypical Snooty Quebecois. But when Alpha Flight spun off into its own series, this trope came into play. Northstar had long disapproved of Aurora's relationship with teammate Sasquatch, and when things came to a head, she ended their informal partnership and had Sasquatch, a geneticist, alter her powers to be distinct from her brother's so that she could generate light on her own, at the cost of her speed being slightly slower. She also designed a new costume for herself. Even though they eventually healed their rift, they remained distinct and even developed further, with Aurora being defined by her Split Personality and tumultuous romances, while Northstar came out as gay (the first mainstream superhero to do so) and has closer ties with the X-Men.

Divergent Character Evolution / int_3b34143f	comment	Harry Potter: For most of the series, Draco's friends Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle are his interchangeable minions but in the last book, Crabbe turns out to be more ruthless than Draco when he defies him and actively tries to kill Harry. Fred and George are an identical pair of troublemakers (and are twins to boot). In the final book, George gets an ear blown off by dark magic, making it easy to tell them apart. And then, of course, Fred dies. Although, if you look closely at the scenes they're in (the clearest of which is Goblet of Fire, where we see them arguing about whether or not to blackmail Ludo Bagman), it's clear that Fred tends to take the lead, and is the more aggressive and has the shortest fuse of the two. After the series George marries Fred's ex-girlfriend Angelina. Parvati and Lavender are two girls who spend their time together and don't have any defined personality traits to distinguish them. But in the sixth book, Lavender becomes Ron's clingy, dramatic girlfriend. Parvati meanwhile shows embarrassment at her best friend's Sickeningly Sweethearts behaviour.

Divergent Character Evolution / int_3d22c14b	comment	Mobile Suit Gundam 00 featured a replacement twin who at first appears a lot like his murdered twin older brother. This lasts about three episodes when he starts to get pissed by it and shows some people he is very different. In the end, they are not 'that' different... they have similar core personalities, but simply handle life differently starting from there: Remarked when the surviving twin kills the Blood Knight who murdered his entire family, and who his brother died trying to get revenge against - yet doesn't do it out of revenge, but because the other rejected the Last-Second Chance he gave him. Well, that and the guy was about to shoot him. Outside of piloting the same Gundam set, they had slightly different inclinations. Neal was pretty much "The Sniper" of the team and would only resort to full frontal combat in dire situations. On the other hand, Lyle was more well rounded and while he was a skilled sniper as well, he usually would eschew the rifle in favor of his handguns. You can see this better when the third gundam, which is tailored closer to his own abilities, puts more emphasis on multi-targeting over outright sniping.

Divergent Character Evolution / int_4a254654	comment	John Frusciante of the Red Hot Chili Peppers was initially a clone of the man he was replacing, Hillel Slovak. It's especially evident in live performances from the Mother's Milk period, where he nails the old funk-punk songs perfectly (he had been an RHCP fan since the first album and learnt all their songs). However, he had melodic traits which developed over time. Rick Rubin encouraged the band to utilise them, paying off when Frusciante wrote the ballad "Under The Bridge", the band's biggest hit ever. During a period of time away from the band, in which he was addicted to heroin and cocaine, he created some extremely odd, dark, and trippy solo music, which was mostly acoustic and not performed with a band. Some of this style, though raw, laid the blueprint for RHCP's own musical evolution into an alternative rock band, notably the ballad "Femininity". When Frusciante returned to the band, he fed some of this dark and melodic playing style into the album Californication, notably in such tracks as "Otherside". Frusciante's next album "To Record Only Water For Ten Days" featured synth textures and drum machine, and an entirely melodic collection of songs. It went over well with the band and producer Rick Rubin, and the style of next album By The Way evolved directly from "To Record Only Water"'s atmospheric qualities, and the full band style of By The Way fed back into John's solo album "Shadows Collide With People". Frusciante, however, kept experimenting over the years, surprising fans with his Letur-Lefr EP and subsequent releases, which were electronic-based and didn't feature as much guitar or vocals, to the point where his current style is considerably distinct to the style he created with RHCP that is still their trademark. Unsurprisingly, he has no interest in returning to the band, something which a lot of fans fail to accept. His replacement (and previous solo collaborator), Josh Klinghoffer, seems to be going in the opposite direction - when he started, he was trying to emulate John's melodic style, but over time, he has shown such a knowledge of RHCP's funk back catalogue that fans hope he will steer them back into that direction.

Divergent Character Evolution / int_4b5aa0c9	comment	Starting late in the first season of Maverick, episodes started to alternate between focusing on series mainstay Bret Maverick (played by James Garner) and his brother, Bart (played by Jack Kelly). Although Bret and Bart were written identically (writers were told to always write for Garner, and the producers would later just select which character would lead due to scheduling), the actors' portrayals quickly established Bret as the fun-loving, wisecracking brother, and Bart as the more serious-minded of the two. The same process happened to a later Maverick as well, as Roger Moore played Beau Maverick as a refined gentleman, at odds with the other two brothers' portrayals, despite the character, again, being written exactly the same. As for the final Maverick brother (Robert Colbert as Brent Maverick), he only appeared in two episodes, and thus never really found a personality of his own.

However, before the Club made it to ROH, they lost Prince Devitt and replaced him with AJ Styles, a wrestler the fans had all but given up on seeing in ROH again. After his successful IWGP Heavyweight Title Defense at War Of The Worlds, Styles would be attacked without provocation by Kingdom leader Adam Cole, who incidentally was the one member most unlike anyone in Bullet Club at the time, and be saved by Hiroshi Tanahashi and Jushin Thunder Liger, giving Styles strong association with established baby faces and allowing the rest of the Club to collectively Heelâ€“Face Turn in ROH as they went on to support Styles as he sought retribution against Cole and inevitably ran into the rest of The Kingdom.

Johns went to even further lengths to distinguish the various Lanterns, when he brought back Hal Jordan and the Corps by showing how the personalities of the Lanterns affected how they used (or didn't use) their rings and what sort of constructs they built. Case in point, Green Lantern: Rebirth goes into detail about the way Rayner, Gardner, Stewart, Jordan, and Kilowog use their rings. Stewart, being an architect, has constructs that look like a blueprint, with every individual detail within them planned out. Rayner, being an artist, often uses a construct pencil to "draw" other constructs, and the eraser construct to change details about them. Gardner's ring is literally leaking green light at all times, because "his willpower can't wait to escape". Jordan likes to go for a combination of brute force and precision, hence boxing gloves, missiles, etc. Kilowog's is the only ring among the regularly appearing characters that makes a sound, and it sounds like a cannon.

Divergent Character Evolution / int_56e10d85	comment	Tolkien's Legendarium is one of the Trope Makers of the modern High Fantasy genre, and thus has influenced many tropes and creators within that genre. Usually, when many modern fantasy writers follow Tolkien's example, it involves altering and diverging from the min archetype to make new fantasy tropes that stick. One example is how the races of Orcs and Goblins came to be in fantasy. To Tolkien, the words "goblin" and "orc" were used interchangeably, and there was no key difference apart from language. However, as decades went by, the word "orc" became more associated with bigger, violent brutes while "goblin" was a word for smaller, sneakier monsters. The two species have diverged so much, it's why this website has a trope each for both of them.

Christian Bale is actually playing two characters, identical twins who regularly take turns playing the role of Alfred Borden. If you rewatch the movie with that in mind, you'll slowly discover that, far from being The Dividual they initially appear as, the twins have very different personalities that develop in distinct ways over the course of the film. The one who gets framed for murder by Angier is very passionate and hot-tempered, is obsessed with upholding the Stage Magician craft, was in love with the stagehand Olivia, hates Angier deeply, and was probably the one who started the whole mess by tying the knot that causes Angier's wife to drown in a performance gone wrong. The one who walks off into the sunset at the end is a much more laidback Nice Guy who loved and married Sarah (and is the father of her child), regularly tries to defuse tensions with Angier, and quickly realizes that the feud is going way too far, but he is also an Extreme Doormat who fails to stand up to his brother until far too late.

The groups were separate for almost a whole season, and the two Crichtons lived different lives and developed different personalities, and one of them died. This was symbolised by them playing an endless game of rock-paper-scissors when they were first split and constantly tying, but when the crew reunited, they played one last round (the survivor against a recording of the dead one), and finally broke the tie.

During songs where they get split up, you can tell which is which by where they are and what they're doing.

In modern times, they've gone in very different directions: the Joker is a terrifying homicidal lunatic, the Penguin is a crafty businessman and black marketer, Catwoman became a morally ambiguous antihero, Two-Face is a tormented gangster with a split personality, Poison Ivy is a seductive ecoterrorist, Mister Freeze is a brilliant and stoic mad scientist, etc. The Riddler has struggled a bit, at various times being a cybercriminal, a drug dealer, a private eye, or just a resentful guy trying to lash out at his former employers.

Divergent Character Evolution / int_7e5196af	comment	In Troll Cops, there are several characters who essentially have the same origin but diverge over time. Dave Strider has abused Time Travel to create a whole mafia of paradox clones of himself, leaving the eldest clone in charge while he fights crime as the costumed vigilante Crowbro. Most of these clones have very short life expectancies due to their nature as paradoxes, and as a result are significantly more paranoid than Alpha Dave. The eldest clone serving as The Don, however, has somehow survived for several years in his role, but his belief that as a paradox clone, his days are numbered has led to him being significantly more open with his emotions than The Stoic Alpha Dave. Alpha Dave doesn't take kindly to the divergence, however, and ultimately their differences lead to a violent falling-out. When she was a rookie officer, Aradia Megido was brutally attacked by the Mindfang Pirates, ending up in a coma. When all the signs pointed to her not waking up, Dr. Horuss Zahhak Jr. did an experimental procedure to copy her soul into a robot shell, which apparently proved successful despite her now being largely an Emotionless Girl. Unbeknownst to everybody, her body was then swiped by Tavros, who nursed her back to health and convinced her to turn her back on the city that turned its back on her. Live!Aradia is now The Baroness and The Dragon to Mr. Pupa, while Aradiabot is still a faithful officer in the APD. In a twist, though, Aradiabot seems to no longer be emotionless now that her living counterpart has awakened, although it's subtle enough that only Equius has noticed so far. Only time will tell how that will pan out.

Divergent Character Evolution / int_80534a27	comment	MsChif and Delirious were initially both ruthlessly violent screamers. Delirious was the more active of the two in Gateway Championship Wrestling, so this wasn't much issue at first, but as MsChif's winning streak continued to increase and her ring time with it, Delirious instead became an Affably Evil Unintelligible hyperactive Motor Mouth while MsChif became more of an ambitious schemer and rabble-rouser. Delirious's change in personality could be explained by him changing his mask from white to green, as he also wore red masks when acting much more vindictive while on the path of revenge in Ring of Honor and black masks when the thrall of Jimmy Jacobs caused him to turn on his friends in The Age Of The Fall. All the same, when he was forced to wear white while Brain Washed for UltraMantis Black's Order Of The Neo Solar Temple and again by Die Bruderschaft des Kreuzes in Chikara, Delirious indeed did go back to something resembling his old personality but never did go back to screaming.

Divergent Character Evolution / int_8bf307b3	comment	Disney: The 1940s JosÃ© Carioca comics made in the US introduced JosÃ©'s neighbors, a black bird named Nestor and a white bird named JoÃ£o, who were drawn similarly and often appeared as Those Two Guys who were seen either helping JosÃ© in his schemes for blending into the high society or mocking him for his wannabe aristocratic lifestyle. After JosÃ©'s comic strip ended its run in 1944, the characters became considerably different. Nestor was brought back by the Brazilian comics in 1967 as JosÃ©'s closest friend, and has since become one of the most prominent characters in the locally made stories. Over the years, he also went through considerable Art Evolution, which gave him a shorter round beak, different clothes, and a new "hairstyle", with very distinctive round feathers in his head. JoÃ£o, on the other hand, was mostly forgotten for decades, appearing only in a handful of Brazilian stories before making a comeback in the Dutch comics. However, since those stories are made in the style of the old US comics, his appearance and personality remained unchanged.

Divergent Character Evolution / int_8e193f0b	comment	In the first three seasons of Boy Meets World, best friends Cory and Shawn were both originally depicted as class clowns and academic slackers who barely skated by in school. Starting in the fourth season, both characters started to develop their own identities. Cory became an archetype for the white, middle-class, suburban All-American "good boy" who has a steady relationship with his high school sweetheart, generally obeys and honors his parents, has a deep friendship with his best friend, and does fairly decently in school. Shawn, on the other hand, became synonymous with the disturbed, troubled soul who grew up in a broken home and had a lot of social and emotional baggage. Shawn's slacker persona was maintained throughout the high school episodes. However, starting in Season 6, when the characters were all in college, Shawn's knack for writing and his love of English literature and poetry was revealed and established. While neither he nor Cory was on Topanga's academic level by any means, their school performance was drastically better compared to the first two or three seasons.

Divergent Character Evolution / int_980c3316	comment	Shazam! started out in the 1940s as "Captain Marvel", a hugely popular superhero who was inspired by and similar to Superman—to the point that National Comics (predecessor to DC Comics) sued his publisher for copyright infringement and got his series cancelled, largely because they were angry that it was outselling Superman.note Today, comics historians and legal authorities generally agree that Fawcett foolishly threw in the towel because superhero stories were dipping in popularity at the time (seemingly making the character less valuable), and a publisher who understood their products and their brand would have fought a better case DC Comics eventually bought the rights to him, and he became a character in the DC Universe who inhabited the same continuity as Superman.note Funnily enough, Superman also borrowed several popular elements from Captain Marvel around that time; Captain Marvel's flight powers likely inspired Superman's, his Distaff Counterpart Mary Marvel likely inspired Supergirl, and his young sidekick Captain Marvel Jr. likely inspired Superboy. The two characters took on their own identities after that, where Captain Marvel's stories tended to emphasize his magical origins (since he got his superpowers from a wizard), while Superman's stories emphasized his sci-fi origins (since he was born on another planet). Captain Marvel also became noticeably more innocent and optimistic (since he was a child in an adult's body), while the adult Superman became wiser and more mature with age.

The first time she turned Super Saiyan, she behaved like a gender-swapped Broly of Movie 10. However, this side of her slowly changed so that her berserker transformation was treated more like a Hulk-like Superpowered Evil Side blinded by rage, instead of Broly's Ax-Crazy Blood Knight personality. By the end of the series, she managed to control such power and become distinct enough in terms of moveset and character relationship compared to her inspiration. No. 17 and No. 18 didn't have very distinct movesets, and such, video games would often give them some moves of the other. It isn't until the Tournament of Power that their movesets start to differentiate from each other, as No. 17's Barrier becomes his Signature Move and has different variations of it, whereas his older twin never uses a Barrier in the entire series since her introduction in the Cell Saga. In fact, No. 18's movesets is rather generic for the series' standard.

She eventually got a card and appeared in the story proper, where she was depicted as a Hot-Blooded Fiery Redhead. She went away but eventually was replaced by Chandra Nalaar, who also has all of those properties. Eventually, we find out that she actually went to the school of pyromancy Jaya started, and she comes back as a Cool Old Lady mentor figure for Chandra. To differentiate them, Chandra fights by making as much fire as she possibly can, while Jaya uses smaller, more precise fire blasts - when a spell is attributed to one of them when they both appear, Chandra's usually do more damage, which Jaya's are usually cheaper and can hit multiple targets.

Divergent Character Evolution / int_a96a7ada	comment	This has become one of the most attractive traits of the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise's series. Each series contains a Cast of Expies of characters from a or multiple previous series, only for their differences to become apparent through Character Development as their series goes on. Some of the more prominent examples: Manjoume of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX starts out as the hero's Seto Kaiba, but unlike Kaiba, he eventually overcomes his arrogance, obsession with defeating the hero, and antipathy to friendship and is able to progress much further as a duelist and a person at every opportunity where Kaiba explicitly refused to change. Another GX Kaiba expy, Kaiser Ryo, starts out heroic if aloof, but his need to be the best eventually drives him to full-blown villainy — the opposite of Kaiba's arc and much more extreme. Yu Gi Oh 5Ds character Sherry takes after GX character Edo Phoenix, but whereas Edo was an Anti-Hero whose quest for his father's killer led him to become more heroic over time, Sherry starts off as a hero whose quest for her parents' killer eventually drives her to a temporary Faceâ€“Heel Turn.

Divergent Character Evolution / int_b31b332f	comment	The Transformers Film Series would make some alterations to characters who were originally Palette Swaps. The toyline, on the other hand, was prone to repaints that maintained that tradition before an official version was introduced. Ironhide and Ratchet were originally mini-vans colored red for Ironhide and white ambulance-styled for Ratchet. The movies have Ironhide as a black pickup truck and Ratchet was a green search and rescue-styled H-1 Hummer. Arcee, Chromia, and Elita-1 were very similar in design as the requisite Fem Bots, while the movie has them all as motorcycles they are individualized with different unicycle-themed robot modes and weapons. Bumblebee and Cliffjumper are the most traditional palette swaps in the franchise, while the toyline always had a Cliffjumper redeco from a Bumblebee toy the Bumblebee film has him appear solely styled after Bumblebee's Cybertronian form but never takes on an Earth form. Frenzy and Rumble were cassette minions of Soundwave and Those Two Guys to the point the fandom had an in-joke of FIBRIR "Frenzy is blue, Rumble is red" as a moniker to remember which was which, and alternatively FIRRIB because it wasn't consistent between toys and media. In the first film, Frenzy appears as his own character entirely who transforms into a boombox and is vaguely connected to Barricade rather than Soundwave.

Divergent Character Evolution / int_bd310eaa	comment	In El Goonish Shive, Tedd and Elliot started out being alike in perversion but over time due to Characterization Marches On Elliot became more and more reserved. Eventually it got to the point where he actually failed at thinking perverted thoughts. Meanwhile, Tedd also underwent Character Development and became more of a Chivalrous Pervert but a pervert nonetheless. Elliot and Ellen started out being almost exactly the same apart from their genders, but that is justified since Ellen is an Opposite-Sex Clone of Elliot and was "born" with a perfect copy of his memories and personality. However, her initial Clone Angst and subsequent attempts to establish her own identity led to this trope. (Which is also illustrated in the same "failed at perversion" comic above.) Rich and Larry were originally two guys of jerkish speech whose only distinguishing traits were that one was fat and the other was taller. Once they got some real focus, Larry was shown as less homophobic and more willing to listen when people tell him he's wrong, which results in him promising to try to act better in the future at the end of the arc. Rich, meanwhile, was shown to be something of a conspiracy theorist.

Divergent Character Evolution / int_c0ed3f7a	comment	This occurred to the original comic book Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, who, after starting out as flat characters, eventually began developing individual traits. The earliest issues were in black and white, but the colored issues had all their bandannas colored red. The 1987 cartoon differentiated them further by focusing each Turtle's characterization on a single trait ("Leonardo leads, Donatello does machines, Raphael is cool but rude, Michelangelo is a party dude!"), while the color coding of their bandannas happened at about the same time as the comics. All subsequent adaptations have taken their cues from that.

Divergent Character Evolution / int_c3210502	comment	Inverted in the case of twins Dave and highly prolific referee Earl Hebner. Dave Hebner was the assigned official for an explosive 1988 rematch of the legendary Hulk Hogan vs. AndrÃ© the Giant title match from the previous year's WrestleMania III. But unbeknownst to Hogan, AndrÃ©'s manager Ted DiBiase had bribed an unknown to get plastic surgery to look like Hebner (in the unknown's role was Earl Hebner. Earl and Dave are identical twins, so this was easy to pull off). In Dave's place in the ring (while Dave was locked in a closet backstage), Earl played the Evil Twin, counting a clearly invalid pinfall against Hogan. Although the twin referee angle was thoroughly explored in WWF Magazine, it was very quickly dropped though due to Dave suffering an injury. Earl would later become a normal "good guy" referee like his brother.

Like the League, the Society was an alliance of DC Comics superheroes who joined together to fight evildoers too strong for just one of them. But once the Society was revived after the Justice League became a major hit, the writers had to find a new core concept for the team so that they wouldn't be too similar. They went through several different schticks over the years; first they were an alternate universe version of the Justice League, then an aging group of semi-retired superheroes, then a group of senior citizen superheroes, and then—most successfully—a multigenerational family of superheroes who united to train the next generation of heroes. In the first issue of Geoff Johns' 2007 run, Batman explicitly lays out the differences between the two of them:

Divergent Character Evolution / int_cc1ec7ec	comment	Daredevil started out in 1964 as a slight variation on Marvel Comics' then-recent breakout character Spider-Man: a bespectacled everyman New Yorker who lived a double life as an acrobatic red-suited superhero, was motivated by the death of a father figure (in this case, his actual father), and spent a lot of time swinging between buildings. His distinctions were that he was blind, worked as a lawyer (instead of a newspaper photographer), was from Manhattan (instead of Queens), and had a devil gimmick (instead of a spider), but they were otherwise noticeably similar. Frank Miller's seminal run in the 1980s is generally credited with bringing Matt Murdock out of Peter Parker's shadow; he established Daredevil as a hard-bitten crimefighter with strong Film Noir influences, cemented the merciless mob boss "The Kingpin" as his Arch-Enemy, and made his tragic love affair with Elektra a lynchpin of his story.note Ironically, the Kingpin actually started as a villain in Spider-Man's Rogues Gallery but became permanently associated with Daredevil thanks to Miller's influence. With the introduction of Daredevil's mentor Stick, he also retroactively established him as a highly-skilled martial artist with years of training—contrasting Peter Parker, who was a science nerd who mostly taught himself to fight.

In-series, Saiyans are descendants of Kryptonians whose colony was abandoned and eventually resettled on planet Vegeta and evolved on the planet. The evolution seems to have cost them some of the super abilities a Kryptonian can have (such as super breath and laser vision) in exchange for learning how to use ki for energy blasts and transform into a Golden Super Mode. Eatle's design for the events of Five Years Later depicts him with wings and the ability to fly, giving him further divergence from Upchuck. Fasttrack is listed as having enhanced smell and hearing to distinguish him a bit from fellow speed aliens. Ditto possesses a telepathic ability to communicate among his duplicates that Echo Echo is noted in Beyond to explicitly not possess. Toepick's species evolved from Eye Guy's Optocoid species when stranded on a planet with twelve times gravity and mutatgenic Corrodium which squashed the cartilige forms down into dumpier appearances and limited the species eye's to their faces while gaining paralyzing gas and light powers.

Barbara Gordon was at the time written as a woman in her 20s, a librarian by day who was quite intelligent and took crime-fighting as seriously as Batman did, before retiring. Cassandra Cain was a taciturn, dyslexic One-Man Army who took saving lives more seriously than Batman due to her traumatic childhood. Stephanie Brown was a Fun Personified Genki Girl who had been fighting crime since she was 15 under other aliases before being given the costume. Essentially, they fell into the same archetypes the Robins did, with Barbara as the brains, Cass as the muscle, and Steph as the heart. After The New 52 though, Cass and Steph were Put on a Bus while Barbara was cured of her paralysis and returned to being the sole Batgirl, and her Batgirl (2011) adventures had her become Denser and Wackier, with a personality similar to Stephanie (by coincidence; her writer at the time, Brendan Fletcher, claims to have never actually read Steph's book and just believed Batgirl-as-a-concept should be Fun Personified regardless of who wears the cowl), and it was treated as if Barbara had always been this way.

Leonardo sports shoulder guards and other samurai-style armor garments. He's also the most "average" build of the four. Donatello is decked from head to shell in various gadgets, including goggles mounted on his forehead and stereotypically taped Nerd Glasses. He's also the tallest and thinnest of the brothers. Michelangelo has a puka shell necklace, sneakers, and a hoodie around his waist. Even when he's serious, his general facial composition still makes him look dopey.

Both were Terror Hero Badass Normal characters with a rich playboy persona, with the biggest difference being Moon Knight had a whole deal with werewolves and his backstory involved being a marine blessed by an Egyptian god, and he took the secret identity concept a step further by having three secret identities (a rich playboy movie producer/businessman, a working-class taxi driver, and his real identity of a retired Private Military Contractor and ex-marine). As time went on, the character's Terror Hero aspect became even more pronounced than Batman's, with him depicted as a barely-contained Sociopathic Hero prone to excessive violence who was a toxic influence on all his friends, his 'blessed by Egyptian moon god' became Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane with a serious possibility that it was all in his head, and the alternate secret identities became legitimate split personalities. Now, Moon Knight is best known for his repeated struggles with mental illness, with occasional forays into the supernatural. Also his teen sidekick became a cyborg zombie serial killer, and his 'Alfred' became a paraplegic man and also came out of the closet.

They all share the same personality, either with or without the Mind-Control Device. However, despite being essentially the same character, each of the four clones has distinct roles in the narrative. Diana serves as an early Sacrificial Lamb to demonstrate how far their Tyke Bomb treat goes, but she later returns as a Chekhov's Gunman and the Hope Spot for Arakawa. Alicia and Barbara display their heroic Undying Loyalty to Nousou by trying to save his life even when he orders them to abandon him, resulting in Alicia getting killed by Lucy. Cynthia, who got cut in half by Lucy earlier in the raid, manages to land a sneak attack on her before Lucy can kill Barbara, but half-dead Cynthia is discovered by Dr. Kurama and dies in his arms, which brings back his trauma of losing Mariko again. At the hospital, having become curious about Alicia and Barbara's love for him, he removes Barbara's Mind-Control Device from her head, which results in her killing him for his past sins. Barbara would then go out of her way to fight Nana and be confronted by Kurama, with the result of the conflict ending Kurama's journey of coming to terms with Mariko's death.

Divergent Character Evolution / int_ea15127e	comment	Leon from The Professional came to be when Luc Besson noticed Jean Reno's character in La Femme Nikita, Victor the Cleaner (also a Consummate Professional implacable hitman), was kind of wasted as a One-Scene Wonder, and so decided to make a movie centered around an Expy of him, played by the same actor. But along the project LeÃ³n and Victor ended up diverging, so while they're both extremely skilled hitmen, Victor is a lot more mature and cold while LeÃ³n is more childlike and humane. Besson describes LÃ©on as "Victor's more humane and principled American cousin".

Divergent Character Evolution / int_f565604d	comment	In Eyeshield 21, Jumonji, Kuroki, and Togano started out as stereotypical delinquents. This didn't last, with Togano becoming an aspiring artist, Jumonji outed as a smart guy hanging out with the wrong crowd, and Kuroki remaining a typical, but friendlier, thug. Despite all being linemen, they also began to be differentiated by their abilities, with Kuroki being the fastest, Togano the strongest and Jumonji the smartest and most technically skilled.

Divergent Character Evolution / int_f7ed2fd7	comment	In The Little Mermaid (1989) Ariel's sisters had more-or-less the same face and no known personalities. Future adaptations, such as the The Little Mermaid (1992) cartoon, licensed comics, and The Little Mermaid III prequel film, give them more varying designs and more individualized personalities.

Divergent Character Evolution / int_fa738078	comment	The Shittenou from Sailor Moon wear the same uniform. Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon gives them distinct uniforms and different facial types. Jadeite is a pretty boy with curly blonde hair. Nephrite is a Fiery Redhead with a uniform to match. Zoisite wears all white and is the most melancholic. Kunzite has the harshest facial features and is the most overly villainous.

Divergent Character Evolution / int_fa9a7b09	comment	In the Over the Hedge comic, Verne used to be a lot more like RJ; you could usually swap their dialog with neither one seeming out of character. Then the cartoonists decided they needed more conflict. Today, Verne has so little in common with RJ that we wonder why Verne doesn't leave. (He does sometimes, but never for long.)

Divergent Character Evolution / int_fb9c177d	comment	Transformers: Skywarp and Thundercracker spent a lot of time as just characters meant to fill space and be pallet swaps for Starscream. Their bios only giving them character. The IDW comics start with them just being two minions, Thundercracker slightly smarter. In The Transformers: All Hail Megatron they divide up, Thundercracker abandoning the cause, and Skywarp being more solidly devoted to it. Come The Transformers (IDW), Thundercracker has pulled a Heelâ€“Face Turn and helps the Autobots, while Skywarp tries to prove his worth as the Big Bad of Bumblebee's mini-series.
