Expy Coexistence	comment	Often, a show uses an Expy to create an original take (or a legal shortcut) on a character, a company, a franchise, a person, or any entity. In many of them, they might exist as a Captain Ersatz of the original, or just to be an equivalent but original take on an entity. It is always implied that they are the replacement for that entity in that universe... but sometimes it turns out that last statement is not true. In other words, this is an aversion of the Celebrity Paradox, in-universe. In this trope, an Expy lives alongside the original characters, and nothing is weird about that. If there is a gang of famous characters, he might be part of that gang in that show's universe. These are common in animated shows that straddle the line between cartoon and reality, such as Animaniacs and Drawn Together. They may often be said to be a fan, a friend, or a hated rival of the real person whom they are an Expy of. Also, if this story takes place in our universe, and it is established that the Expy and the original both exist as fictional entities, that would raise the question as to why the creator has not sent a cease-and-desist letter, or sued them for everything they have. Note: this trope does not apply when the character is NOT an Expy of a famous character, but hangs out with famous characters or people. For example, in The Critic, Jay Sherman is a famous TV film critic who is friends with other famous real-life critics, like Gene Siskel, Roger Ebert, Gene Shalit, Rex Reed, etc. But because Jay is not intended to be a direct take on any of them, this trope does not apply. Compare and contrast with Lawyer-Friendly Cameo, Celebrity Paradox and Mutually Fictional. If the original starts to trash-talk the expy when they run into them, that's Knocking the Knockoff.

However, Bruce Wayne/Batman ''does'" exist in the Arrowverse, although he only appears as The Ghost or as an Alternate Self from a different universe.

Demolition was a more obvious cash-in by a rival promotion, but they still ended up feuding with The Road Warriors and then the Powers Of Pain. In Chikara, The Devastation Corporation aren't just expies of the Road Warriors, but hearken back to the full on Legion of Doom by having a manager in Sidney Bakabella. However, while Chikara played up the similarities between Bakabella and Precious Paul Ellering, they had Ellering manage Demolition instead of the Road Warriors in a match against the Devastation Corporation.

While Fix-It Felix is an expy of Mario, he also offhandedly mentions that Mario himself was supposed to come to their 30th anniversary party but is "fashionably late, as per the norm".note Mario was supposed to appear in the movie, but he was left out due to the writers not wanting him to overshadow the main characters. A planned appearance in the sequel fell through when Universal got the movie rights. Ralph Breaks the Internet has a company example: there's dozens of real-world brands throughout the film, but the video uploading site BuzzzTube is a fictional YouTube analogue. However, the YouTube logo can be seen in the film and the site is even mentioned once by Yesss, BuzzzTube's main algorithm.

The others are more of a mix-and-match (Lily's Eagle Gazer functions more akin to Chitose's Sharpshooter than Forte's Happy Trigger, in a straight swap with Natsume Izayoi and her Papillon Chaser, with a similar straight swap between Kahlua/Tequila's Spell Caster and Anise's Relic Raider in regards to Mint's Trick Master and Ranpha's Kung-Fu Fighter).

Many seasons later, after Fortnite had become a Cash-Cow Franchise, a licensing deal would be struck allowing an actual John Wick skin to be introduced. This has actually happened with many skins. Lynx is an expy of Catwoman and Black Panther, Rust Lord is an expy of Star-Lord, Carbide is an expy of Iron Man, and ALL of these characters eventually got added to the game. This has even happened with dances. The "Ride The Pony" emote is one of the game's oldest emotes, available in the Save The World campaign from the very start, showing the player mimicking riding a horse while twirling a lasso, with one version of its music sounding suspiciously like "Gangnam Style". In 2020, with the rise of TikTok leading to many of the app's popular dances being licensed for use in the game along with the original songs, the actual dance moves from "Gangnam Style" were added to the game, complete with the original music.

Expy Coexistence / int_6de33ac8	comment	Dead by Daylight: The game has a history of creating Killers that are expies of famous horror media antagonists, and subsequently introducing the originals as Guest Fighters as soon as they're licensed to. In all cases, both characters fight and hunt in thematically similar but mechanically different manners. "The Hillbilly" is a clear reference to Leatherface, both being Hillbilly Horrors armed with a hammer and chainsaw. A later update to the game introduced the actual Leatherface as a Guest Fighter, known in-game as "The Cannibal". Later updates added the killer known as "The Legion", a Psycho Knife Nut with a collective identity assumed by multiple people which involves wearing a black hood and white mask. This was done in reference to Ghostface from Scream, and eventually the Ghostface Killer himself note Specifically the costumed identity itself was licensed for the game; none of the characters from the movies are represented due to legal issues, so an original character was created to legally use the copyrighted mask associated with the costume. became a Guest Fighter in a separate update. The later-added killer "The Spirit"—real name Rin Yamaoka—is a Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl who was an innocent woman before being brutally murdered, and after her death, becomes a powerful onryÅ�, a Vengeful Ghost fueled by The Power of Hate against the one who wronged her; all of this makes her a send-up to The Ring's Sadako Yamamura, one of the Trope Codifiers of the Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl. Sadako herself was also added to the game later as yet another Guest Fighter called "The OnryÅ�".

The story "You Don't Have to Be Mad..." features several Real Life people who were significant in the eighties, each referenced by an abreviation of their name that also serves as a play on their particular obsession. One is an Australian who wants everyone to think what he thinks, and sucks up to "Mrs Empty", known as "Rumour". In the the 1970s section of Seven Stars it's briefly mentioned that the less traditional members of the Club include "King", who is almost certainly Jason King. Richard Jeperson, the extremely seventies main character of the Diogenes series, is a Jason King pastiche. "Sorcerer Conjurer Wizard Witch" features multiple occultists from other sources such as Oliver Haddo and Julian Karswell, who are No Celebrities Were Harmed versions of Alistair Crowley. In addition, "Angel Down, Sussex" features the real Crowley.

He then appears in this game, putting him in the same universe as his main inspiration. His Spirit also appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, where Bowser is playable. Mario Is Missing! has you return King Kong to the Empire State Building. Discussed by The Angry Video Game Nerd in his review that in addition to the whole ordeal being a Mind Screw for having you return a fictional ape that was definitely not wanted by people on the building in an educational game, it is a little bit strange that the character that served as partial inspiration for Donkey Kong ends up appearing in a Mario game. Super Mario Odyssey: New Donk City resembles New York City in its aesthetical heyday, complete with yellow cabs, sleek musicians, and big lights. Mario Kart Tour features courses based on real-world cities, one of which was the Times Square romp New York Minute. The game even emphasizes this through the course's themed items (yellow taxi kart, Musician Mario), which are directly based off of their New Donk City iterations but fit right in here. The course was later added as DLC to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: Mario Kart 8: The game features a statue of Peach that is clearly inspired by the Statue of Liberty in the Toad Harbor course (despite Toad Harbor being more so inspired by San Francisco than New York). The Booster Course Pass DLC adds New York Minute from Mario Kart Tour to the game, which contains the real Statue of Liberty. Relatedly, Toad Harbor itself is no longer the only fictionalization of California, since Tour introduced Los Angeles Laps, located in the eponymous coastal city. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe features an unconventional example thanks to the Booster Course Pass; the remake of N64 Rainbow Road is divided into three sections rather than laps given the course's long nature, and the music of the final section begins from the chorus section; these changes were inherited from the Mario Kart 7 version of Rainbow Road. The Booster Course Pass adds in 3DS Rainbow Road, which not only retains both of the aforementioned details, but also samples the chorus of N64 Rainbow Road for its music - thus marking the first time in which a Mario Kart game has two tracks that utilize the chorus of N64 Rainbow Road, as well as having the final lap's music begin with said chorus. The presence of classic courses in the Mario Kart series since Mario Kart DS has resulted in a few courses that share similar premises appearing in the same games as each other. DK Summit (from Mario Kart Wii) and DK Mountain (from Mario Kart: Double Dash!!) both appear in Wii and Mario Kart Tour, Cloudtop Cruise (from 8) and Sky Garden (from Mario Kart: Super Circuit) both appear in 8 Deluxe, Choco Island 2 (from Super Mario Kart) and Choco Mountain (from Mario Kart 64) both appear in DS and Tour, etc. Mario Party 7: The game's playable boards are stereotypically inspired by real-life countries. One of them is Windmillville, which takes many cues from the Netherlands. Come Mario Kart Tour, which features the real Netherlands as the setting for three tracks located in Amsterdam (Amsterdam Drift 1, 2 and 3); they would also appear in one combined version in the DLC of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Whenever a character is a blatant Expy of a famous person, someone will make a single offhand reference to the Real Life inspiration, then that person will never be mentioned again, no matter how many eerie similarities pop up. The Law & Order: Special Victims Unit episode "Funny Valentine" featured a celebrity couple based on Chris Brown and Rihanna, who Detective Munch snarkily suggests they go own a double date with. The season 12 SVU episode "Flight" and the season 20 two-parter "Can't Be Held Accountable" & "Must Be Held Accountable" each feature a Villain of the Week Expy of Jeffrey Epstein. The SVU episode "Sick" and the mothership episode "Smoke" each feature a Villain of the Week Expy of Michael Jackson. The mothership episode "Publish and Perish" and the Criminal Intent episode "My Good Name" both feature characters that are obviously based on disgraced former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik. There have been three expies of Ann Coulter across the franchise, and a few references to the real one.

Oddly, Wish was marketed as the Origins Episode for the star in the other two movies, to the point that The Stinger has Sabino composing "When You Wish Upon a Star", even though this backstory would appear to be incompatible with Pinocchio's explanation.

Not only that, but the Patterner does not like Tzeentch due to losing a plagiarism lawsuit against him, meaning he's not allowed to like change in general (change is Tzeentch's specialty, be it through mutation, hope or betrayal), leading to a Let Me at Him! when they see each other (with KHORNE of all possible people trying to stop the fight).

Expy Coexistence / int_a9517b88	comment	In the Greek era of the God of War series, Kratos' character is greatly inspired by Heracles' backstory and traits in Classical Mythology, mostly in the first installment; both are powerful and skilled warriors sons of Zeus with a mortal woman who were manipulated by a god into killing their own families in a fit of mad wrath, thus having to perform many labours to be pardoned by Olympus. After accomplishing several tasks with the help of the gods, including killing the Hydra, and adventuring through the Underworld by the end of their journey, they are rewarded with godhood around the time of their deaths. Then, in God of War III, Kratos and Heracles â€” under his Roman name of Hercules â€” interact and fight, with Hercules being envious of Kratos for the attention and glory he had got from Zeus.

In his Super Street Fighter II ending, he blows off a director impressed with him by stating that "There could never be another legend like the Great One and his son!" Dan Hibiki, a character who tries to imitate protagonist Ryu's fighting style while failing miserably at doing so, was created as a Take That! to SNK, due to Capcom feeling that Art of Fighting protagonist Ryo Sakazaki was doing just that. In SNK vs. Capcom, Ryu, Ryo, and Dan — the original, the expy, and the parody of the expy — are all in the playable roster.

Expy Coexistence / int_f02ba81a	comment	Count von Krolock from The Fearless Vampire Killers and its musical adaptation Tanz Der Vampire is an expy of Dracula- specifically, the taciturn Hammer Horror version played by Christopher Lee. In the Tanz der Vampire fic A Brief History Of The Vampirical Career Of The Graf Von Krolock And His Son, Krolock is given a very different backstory from Dracula (a semi-reclusive nobleman who devoted himself to his studies and avoided marriage until he unexpectedly fell in love in his early fifties rather than a proud warlord) and Dracula, though unnamed, is obviously Krolock's vampiric sire. This also makes Dracula the Greater-Scope Villain of Tanz der Vampire, because he and his brides imprisoned Krolock while Krolock completed his vampire transformation, delaying Krolock from getting to his dying wife Isabella in time to save her by turning her into a vampire too and making him into the bitter nihilist he is by Tanz proper.

It even has similar lore to some of the skulls as claimed by the skulls' owners at the time and conspiracy theorists in the modern day (for example, having healing powers, belonging to a lost Mayincatec civilisation, and being the skull of an alien). However, in the film, Indy dismisses all of the skulls that exist in real life as fakes, outright stating that he examined the Mitchell-Hedges skull personally and the only remarkable thing about it was the "interesting tooling".

Expy Coexistence / int_fa738078	comment	Sailor Moon: Usagi Tsukino/Sailor Moon was created as an Expy of Minako Aino/Sailor Venus, who originally starred in a 1991 one-shot manga that eventually became the franchise's prequel Codename: Sailor V. Though Minako starts off as Sailor V in that series, she later made her debut as Sailor Venus in the Sailor Moon manga and joined the main cast. Since Minako and Usagi are already very similar in personality and looks, the anime attempted differentiate the two, first by making Minako more serious, but then by making her sillier (though still comparably more responsible). Usagi's Mentor Mascot Luna was created to be a female equivalent of Artemis from Codename: Sailor V, who ended up joining the cast of Sailor Moon along with Minako. Artemis and Luna would generally work in concert, and are established as future romantic partners, but also display contrasting temperaments —though the manga and first anime switch around which is overbearing (manga Artemis, anime Luna) or laid-back (manga Luna, anime Artemis).

Expy Coexistence / int_fe85bfc8	comment	Super Smash Bros.: Super Smash Bros. for Wii U features Palutena's Guidance, a series of hidden convos Pit can activate on Palutena's Temple as well as a send-up to Brawl's Snake Codecs. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Snake and his codecs would return, albeit without updated lines. One of the alternate palettes for the Duck Hunt duo in both Smash 4 and Ultimate is clearly inspired in the starring duo of Banjo-Kazooie, with the dog being colored dark brown and the bird being colored red. Banjo and Kazooie themselves would then reappear in Ultimate as DLC. As the long-term face of the franchise, Mario's moveset design in Super Smash Bros. was conceptualised as something of a Shotoclone, although with a few liberties taken to transplant typical Shotoclone gameplay into a Platform Fighter. Eventually, the original Shoto, Ryu from Street Fighter, was introduced to the series in both versions of the fourth game as DLC, and his playstyle was of course far more faithful to the traditional Shoto archetype. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate features Akira Yuki from Virtua Fighter as an Assist Character and Kazuya Mishima from Tekken as a DLC fighter, both of whom were at least inspired physically by Ryu and are now all coexisting in the same game. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has a downplayed example with Bayonetta and Dante; while Bayonetta herself is a playable fighter, her direct inspiration Dante only appears as a Mii Fighter costume.
