These kinds of characters have a lot of envy. They don't just want to be like the person they envy. They literally want to be the person they envy and live their life. Not that they will admit it. These kind of characters are often Woobies and Jerkass Woobies, hence the reason they don't like their life.
They will try to be close as possible as the person they envy and/or simply become obsessed with surpassing them.
Given the right circumstances, these kind of characters will swap places with the person they envy. This can result In Grand Theft Me.
May lead to being Driven by Envy. This is a very extreme form of Irritation Is the Sincerest Form of Flattery. Expect lots of Ho Yay if both characters are of the same gender. Compare Napoleon Delusion.
If An Aesop is delivered, it will most likely turn out to be "Be Yourself" or "I Am What I Am".

Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW): The 2020 Annual has a short story centered around Metal Sonic during the Zombots arc. After seeing a video of Sonic running around while trying to fight off the infection, Metal Sonic dips his hand into a vat with a sample of the virus... and watches as it harmlessly rolls off his mechanical claw and drips back into the vat. Metal Sonic doesn't say anything, but it's pretty clear that the reality's set in that, despite his protests and ambitions to the contrary, he knows he's not the real Sonic and that he never will be.

In The Unforgiving Flowers Blossom in the Dead of Night, this turns out to be what Midori's contract with the Black Tea Gentleman involved. In exchange for a small portion of her soul, the Black Tea Gentleman let Midori switch places with another student she was jealous of. However, as long as the Lotus-Eater Machine is in effect Midori herself doesn't remember this, and instead she believes that her contract was to get a role she wanted for a play.

Human Target: The climactic final arc of the Vertigo Comics series is about professional Body Double Christopher Chance finally coming to terms with being himself, settling down to marry and retire peacefully — and Chance's embittered former apprentice Tom McFadden attempting to kill him and steal his life once and for all. It's left to the reader to decide if he succeeded. Both Chances survive the story, but it's ambiguous which one retired to wedded bliss in the Hollywood Hills and which one is drowning his sorrows in his buddy's dive bar. The loser is ultimately left wondering if it even makes a difference who he is or was.

In The World Ends with You, Shiki was incredibly jealous of her outgoing, talented best friend Eri. So much so, in fact, that when she entered the Reaper's Game, she essentially became Eri, copying her appearance and bubbly personality after she lost her real appearance as her entry fee. Thankfully, her Character Development allowed her to come to terms with her issues and learn to appreciate her true self. Interestingly enough, the fact that her entry fee was her real appearance implies that deep down she really did like herself since the entry fee is always whatever is most precious to the player.

In A Certain Magical Index, Ayu Mitsuari hated Misaki Shokuhou and thought it was unfair that she had a better life and privileges than her. For example, Ayu and Misaki started out with the same power (Mind Manipulation), but Academy City's higher-ups decided to devote more resources to fulfilling Misaki's potential and snubbed Ayu. Ayu was friends with Touma Kamijou and tried to contact him when she wanted to commit suicide, but he ran into Misaki and lost his phone, and as a result did not receive her message. She describes herself as an ant that wants to be a bee (referencing her and Misaki's respective Animal Motifs). She eventually captures Misaki and attempts to transfer Misaki's memories into her own brain, in essence becoming Misaki herself while leaving the original a vegetable. When Misaki proves too strong for the procedure to work, Ayu changes her mind and tries to murder her before Touma arrives and saves her.

On one Benson episode, after a string of failures on Clayton's part and successes on Benson's part, Clayton has a breakdown and believes himself to actually be Benson, dressing like him and wearing dark makeup. He doesn't snap out of it until Benson points out several bad things about his own life and good things about Clayton's at the end of the episode.

Lex Luthor is almost always depicted as The Resenter of Superman's power and public adoration, but during Blackest Night the influence of the lasso of truth makes him admit that he wants to be Superman. Wonder Woman wasn't surprised. In 52, Lex even used his Everyman exo-gene therapy to copy Superman's powerset and even said "I'm Superman". Visited again in DC Rebirth, where Lex (in Apocalyptian armour) is one of the three new Supermen following the New 52 Superman's death.

In the Psych episode "Juliet Wears the Pantsuit", Juliet gets a roommate who she becomes friends with until the woman starts dressing like and pretending to be her (the film Single White Female is given a Shout-Out). It turns out that the woman is on the run from her abusive husband who keeps managing to track her down despite the number of times she has taken on false identities and thought she would be safe with Juliet as a roommate since she's a cop.

The Simpsons: At the end of the infamous episode "Homer's Enemy", Frank Grimes undergoes a mental breakdown after seeing just how much Homer gets away with being a lazy idiot with no consequences. So much so, that he frantically tries to become Homer as his state of being quickly deteriorates, copying various antics that wouldn't seem out of place for him, but very much so for Grimes. This includes messing with dangerous equipment, which eventually leads to his sudden demise.

In Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, while not actually part of Raiden's character he does have a lot of hero worship towards Snake. This trope is actually in effect towards the player regarding how the story is written about wanting to be as cool as Snake from the first game, only to realize with horror not just what it would entail becoming like him, but how easy it can be done to the point it ends up not being special at all.

In the TV movie Friends Til The End, lonely and unpopular student photographer Zanne wishes to be the popular and outgoing fellow college student Heather. Whereas she initially comes to befriend her classmate, she eventually usurps many of her positions and relationships, including her place in her sorority, lead singer of her band, and even sleeping with and stealing her boyfriend. She further lampshades this by the end of the film by claiming, "I'm you now; you're me."

The title character of Naruto admits this much towards the end of Part I (it's heavily implied in the first episodes) in regards to Sasuke. At the end of Part II, Sasuke admits that he too felt the same way toward Naruto.
The main motivation for Danzo. Despite loving his village and doing what it takes to protect it, his ultimate goal was to match the same level of power and respect as the Third Hokage, Hizuren Sarutobi, to the point he did his damn hardest to become Hokage himself through underhanded means.

The Flash: Eobard Thawne, the first Reverse-Flash, was a Flash fanboy who studied the Speed Force and managed to replicate Barry Allen's accident, giving himself super speed. He later becomes determined to be Barry Allen, having plastic surgery to look like him and trying to steal his wife. His attempts fail, and when trying to outright take Barry's place in history, he finds he can't; he's inspired by Barry, so Barry must become the Flash, or Eobard's timeline doesn't exist. His hero worship turns to seething hatred, and he instead determines to make Barry's life an absolute hell — he may need Barry Allen, but everyone else is just window dressing.

Sweet Valley High featured a plot involving a psychotic girl named Margo, who happened to look identical to Elizabeth and Jessica and was so jealous of them that she planned to kill one of the twins and take over her life. Later, Margo's own identical twin shows up and they both decide they want to become the Wakefield twins.
The spin-off series Sweet Valley University had a book that copied Single White Female almost exactly, with Isabella acquiring a roommate who wants to become Isabella and starts taking over her life.

In an episode of Motive, the killer initially felt this towards the victim, though that wasn't the motive for killing her. That was because the killer's mother had tried to commit suicide after learning that her husband had been having an affair with the victim and that the victim was pregnant by said father. Note also that the victim had been in a long-term relationship with the killer's older brother, son of the father of her baby. Which, when you think about it, puts a kind of disturbing twist on the killer's hero-worship.

Cinder Fall of RWBY has subtly patterned her mannerisms, clothing, speech, and even personality on her boss Salem. Since she's the Disc-One Final Boss, this isn't immediately apparent until Salem shows up in Volume 4, but as Salem gets more screentime and more of Cinder's true personality starts to shine through, it becomes increasingly clear that Cinder's initial portrayal was a facade modeled on Salem. As revealed in her backstory episode, she's been doing this a long time: her heels, glass motif, and abusive tendencies all come directly from the woman who bought her as a slave. When a Huntsman offered to train her to help her escape, she started styling her hair like his, and her tendency towards scimitars is based on the swords he gave her. In keeping with her I Just Want to Be Special attitude, it reflects both her obsession with power and lack of personal identity.

Throughout the Harry Potter series, it's mentioned that Ron sees Harry as having all the things he wants but can't seem to get: fame, respect, money, and the love of both Hermione and Ron's own family (while Hermione really loves Ron and the Weasley family don't really favor Harry over him, Ron was in a pretty unbalanced state when he believed it). Ron tries to hide his insecurities and jealousy as best he can, seeing as Harry's his best friend, and a lot of the later books have him getting many of those things through his own efforts (by the end of the series, he has been Keeper of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, Gryffindor Prefect, destroyed a Horcrux, was well-known as one of the heroes who fought against Voldemort, became an Auror for the Ministry of Magic, and ended up Happily Married to Hermione, with several children.
Ironically, it could be said that Harry has this towards Ron to an extent as well. Ron has a relatively normal life (at least until Harry gets involved), he isn't constantly in the spotlight being judged, and (at first) he knows more about the magical world than Harry. But most important of all, Ron has a large loving family while Harry doesn't. Of course this is also taken care of at the end of the series with Harry becoming a part of the Weasley family by marrying Ron's sister.

On one episode of The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Tigger tries to teach Eeyore how to be more cheerful. Eeyore interprets his lessons as "being just like Tigger", and soon he's painted himself in orange and black stripes and bouncing the others.

Yellowface: June is deeply envious of her frenemy and fellow author, Athena, since Athena has the career June wants and thinks she deserves; she's critically acclaimed, extremely wealthy, regularly brushes shoulders with celebrities, and lives in a luxurious apartment. June, by contrast, has put out a single novel that bombed hard, and has to make ends meet as a tutor. This motivates June to steal and publish Athena's latest manuscript after she dies in a freak accident.

Doctor Who Magazine: During the Eighth Doctor's tenure, his first companion, Izzy Sinclair, joined him because she wanted a more exciting life, leaving behind her loving adoptive parents and the relative safety of Stockbridge. She eventually met and was forced into an extended "Freaky Friday" Flip with the alien princess Destrii, who desperately wanted to escape her home planet's cutthroat nobility and her abusive mother. When they are put back in their proper bodies, both see each other's memories, and Destrii attacks Izzy for what she almost gave up; thankfully, they manage to settle things rather more amicably when going their separate ways.

In Dead Rising 3, Kenny Dermot was envious of Nick Ramos and wanted to be a hero like him, to the point of dressing up like him and training to be a zombie killer. Kenny goes off the deep end and puts a woman in danger so he can rescue her and "one-up" Nick, then eventually tries to kill Nick to prove he's superior.

In Final Fantasy VII, Cloud has a couple of pretty nasty Tomato Surprises when his very identity is questioned by the villain. In the end, it's revealed that Cloud lacked the talent to become a SOLDIER and this (along with other traumatic events, including one that gave him actual SOLDIER-like enhancements) brought him to forget his own past and start copying his deceased best friend (and top-level SOLDIER) Zack.

In Making Money:
Cosmo Lavish is obsessed with becoming Lord Vetinari, to the point where he wears a duplicate of Vetinari's ring, practices facial expressions in the mirror all the time, and has his assistant steal worn-out pairs of Vetinari's shoes. (Well, shoes that his assistant Heretofore was able to buy at the palace and convince Cosmo were Vetinari's. They were, as a later conversation reveals, actually Drumknott's.)
There's an entire ward in the hospital of people who want to be Lord Vetinari and have regular eyebrow raising competitions. Cosmo joins them at the end of the book.

Homestuck
Vriska Serket tries to base her personality on that of her Famous Ancestor, the Pirate Girl Marquise Spinneret Mindfang. The problem is that Vriska has an overly rose-colored conception of Mindfang's actions that ignores most of the negative aspects of her life. As a result, Vriska is an incredibly vain Glory Hound with a love of theatrics and envisions herself as the greatest hero ever. She's also impatient, easily manipulated and angered, and has severe Complexity Addiction and No Social Skills. This even extends into her attempting to mold her few friends into copies of people Mindfang knew, with even worse results. It's later shown that Vriska has a very poor sense of self: when someone finally convinces her to stop acting like Mindfang, she starts styling herself after said person.
Another character wanting to be like Mindfang is eventually revealed to be Aranea Serket, a.k.a. teenage Mindfang from an Alternate Universe. Dismissed as a boring Bookworm in her world, she became enthralled by Vriska's inaccurate story of Mindfang and went rogue to experience the heroic adventures she never before could. While she's much better at planning and manipulation than Vriska, she's still completely lost whenever said plans go even slightly awry, and nowhere near as good as a combatant as Mindfang.

In the Littlest Pet Shop (2012) episode "Russell Up Some Fun," the B-story involves Blythe realizing her friend Sue is trying to mimic everything Blythe does because Sue looks up to Blythe so much, which eventually begins to creep Blythe out. It is hinted that Sue, at that point in the series, had rather intense self-loathing issues and thought Blythe was leading a more fulfilling life than hers.

Sonic Heroes uses both simultaneously, with Metal Sonic (now Metal Overlord) referring to Sonic as his copy while still acknowledging the fact that he was built for the sole purpose of defeating Sonic. It really drives home the Sanity Slippage Metal suffered from his multiple defeats over the years quite well, to the point he was willing to betray Doctor Eggman, take over his legions, and execute a plan that would end in taking over the world, all just to prove to everyone and himself that he was the superior one to Sonic.

Smallville:
Bizarro started as a pure evil wraith. He was viewed as a monster by his creators and trapped in the Phantom Zone. He never knew happiness. When he was freed from the Zone he possessed human bodies to survive. Until he got Clark's DNA, memories, and powers. He tried to replace Clark while he was trapped in the fortress. He fooled both his friends and the audience. At the end, he was "killed" by his only love. This made him a Jerkass Woobie.
In the first season as well, Tina Greer (played by Lizzy Caplan) is a shapeshifter who grew up envying Lana's seemingly perfect life. When we meet her, she has already styled her hair to resemble Lana's and dresses in clothes that are basically the same clothes that Lana wears...even going as far as buying an emerald necklace to imitate the kryptonite necklace Lana wears (that was made from the meteor that killed Lana's parents). After the death of her mother (which she was responsible for), Tina shapeshifts to impersonate her mother while concocting a story that her mother is moving to Metropolis, and asks Lana if she can move in with her and Aunt Nell. When Lana says that she needs to ask Aunt Nell for permission (a perfectly reasonable point), Tina freaks out and takes this as a sign of rejection... and then decides that she's going to murder Lana and use her shapeshifting abilities to assume Lana's identity, even going as far as practicing writing Lana's signature multiple times as preparation.
She returned in Season 2, and by this time, Tina has realized that the real source of her Lana obsession is that she is in fact in love with her... and is willing to, quote, do "ANYTHING to be with her."
In "Rage", Oliver Queen, aka Green Arrow became addicted to a Psycho Serum that gave him a Healing Factor but turned him increasingly psychotic. After he is stopped and recovered from the addiction, he admitted that he was jealous of Clark's abilities and was trying to emulate them.

Batman:
Hugo Strange. He was so obsessed with Batman, he eventually wanted to become him, using genetic engineering and training to get himself to the same physical condition, getting a copy of Batman's costume which he creepily wears around his house and even manages to deduce Batman's identity. He once even managed to defeat Batman and temporarily take his place.
Hush, or Tommy Elliot, has similar issues towards Bruce Wayne, going right back to being jealous of his parents' death in childhood. He even got plastic surgery (which he performed on himself) to look identical to him.
"Master Bruce", aka Matthew Warner, a rich kid who became a Self-Made Orphan so he could feel the same pain Bruce Wayne does, and thereby achieve the same things Bruce Wayne did. He then carved "Thomas" and "Martha" on his cheeks to remind him of his loss. His parents' names were Donald and Veronica.

The Flash (2014): In "The Reverse-Flash Returns", this is revealed to be Eobard Thawne/Reverse-Flash's motivation. As he's from the distant future, he grew up on stories of the Flash and aspired to become just like him. He eventually managed to gain super speed and believed he could be his timeline's version of the Flash. Unfortunately, a time-traveling adventure revealed to him that he's going to become the Flash's arch-enemy. Incredibly angry at the thought that he cannot be the Flash, he instead aspired to be better than the Flash and destroy him, becoming Reverse-Flash. In the "Armageddon" arc, Eobard succeeds in creating a "Reverse Flashpoint" timeline where he has taken the Flash's place and has his wife, but the real Flash manages to undo it before the changes erase him.

In Scream 4 Jill, who's one of the Ghostface murderers and the mastermind behind the killings, uses the theme of movie remakes to try and kill her older cousin Sidney so she can take her place as the celebrated tragic victim and become rich and famous. She recreates the original murders in Woodsboro with changes consistent with a movie remake. She does this out of jealousy because of Sidney getting all the attention of her family, and majority of the small town associating with her, only because she's related to her.

The Punisher MAX: The final arcs have a very disturbing variation: Bullseye has been hired to kill Frank, and comes to the conclusion that the best way to do this is to relive Frank's life: by finding his safehouses, sleeping in them... and reenacting the Central Park shootout that turned Frank into the Punisher. Three times. And the worst part is that it worked: Bullseye is able to extrapolate Frank's last words to his wife and repeat them to him, causing a Heroic BSoD.

There's a bit of this going on with Saruman in regards to Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings. He always resented Gandalf for being more popular even though Saruman was the "wiser" one. It gets to the point that he sends spies after Gandalf to learn his movements and habits and he even starts imitating Gandalf by smoking pipe-weed.

My Little Pony: Equestria Girls: Sunset Shimmer, Princess Celestia's personal student before Twilight Sparkle, doesn't necessarily want to be Twilight Sparkle, but she certainly wants to have what Twilight has (princesshood, immense responsibilities, world-altering magical power, and the esteem and admiration of those around her). The difference, of course, being that Twilight earned those things while Sunset feels like she has but really just wants to take the easy way to them. After her Heel–Face Turn, ironically, she eventually does legitimately earn much of what Twilight had and she lacked.

Cheese in the Trap Min Soo, who idolizes Seol so much that she mimics her fashion, her hair color and style, and even her habit of tucking her hair behind her ears. One example is when Seol gets a limited edition pair of pants that her friend designed and rocks it as part of an outfit...and Min Soo freaks out because it's something she couldn't mimic because it was out of character. Until she walks in with the exact same pants the next day. When Seol drops her charm that Jung gave her, Min Soo finds it, keeps it, and pretends she bought it (later Seol finds out there's no way she could have because it sold out). It gets worse when during the school presentations, Seol recognizes that Min Soo bought her slides from a previous class and made no changes to it. This results in Min Soo breaking down that she inadvertently copied Seol, and now the whole class was catching on. Currently, she's now copying someone else and pulling it off easier...but still compares herself to Seol in a resentful demeanor now.

Kaeloo: Stumpy wants to be just like Mr. Cat because he thinks he's really coolnote This may or may not explain why he has the same fingerless gloves as Mr. Cat. In one instance, he takes martial arts lessons to take Mr. Cat down because he was bullying him, only to take over Mr. Cat's role as the antagonist after beating him.

The Familiar of Zero has a magic mirror that temporarily turns whoever looks into it into who they most want to be. Louise turned into Cattleya, Princess Henrietta turned into Louise, Scarron turned into a beautiful woman, Tiffania turned into Saito, and a bunch of girls turned into Tiffania, etc. Hilariously, Guiche was unaffected by the mirror, because his incredible vanity meant he saw himself as the ideal man.

In Werewolf: The Apocalypse Skindancers are disgruntled kinfolk who want to be Garou. By ritually sacrificing five Garou, they can become werewolves like their relatives.
The Seventh Generation has shades of this. Their theology borrows heavily from Black Spiral Dancer traditions, and their writings refer to Black Spirals as "True Dancers" (suggesting that their own rites pale in comparison). In a chapter of Chronicles of the Black Labyrinth outlining Seventh Generation rites, the author beseeches the Black Spiral Dancers to accept them as fellow servants of the Wyrm.

In a spoof Mission: Impossible II featurette about the stunts, Ben Stiller plays Tom Cruise's stunt double Tom Crooze. Throughout the segment, Cruise is clearly struggling to write off Crooze's antics as anything other than obsessed or insane. It's also revealed that even when they don't request Crooze's work on a particular Cruise film, he just shows up anyway.

Superman:
Lex Luthor is almost always depicted as The Resenter of Superman's power and public adoration, but during Blackest Night the influence of the lasso of truth makes him admit that he wants to be Superman. Wonder Woman wasn't surprised. In 52, Lex even used his Everyman exo-gene therapy to copy Superman's powerset and even said "I'm Superman". Visited again in DC Rebirth, where Lex (in Apocalyptian armour) is one of the three new Supermen following the New 52 Superman's death.
Superboy Prime introduced in Infinite Crisis wanted to kill Connor and Clark so he could be the one and only Superman.

A minor female character in Nip/Tuck wanted to be like Kimber Henry (Christian Troy's on/off girlfriend) in every way and even live her life. Transforming herself to look like Kimber and sleeping with Christian to experience what Kimber's sex life was like first-hand was the best she could do without slipping into villainous territory.

Recess:
In the episode "Randall's Reform," Randall has a breakdown and admits that he wishes he was T.J. because of T.J.'s ability to make friends. T.J. is sympathetic and offers Randall advice, which seems to work. Unfortunately, Randall's efforts also alienate him from Ms. Finster. Ultimately, Randall decides being a teacher's pet is more important to him than making friends with the other kids. T.J. actually encourages him to go back, saying that close friendships like the one between Ms. Finster and Randall are worth it.
In the episode "Copycat Kid," Mikey becomes obsessed with Vince after he saves him from being hit by a ball in the face and starts dressing and acting just like him. Vince then tries to act more like Mikey in return, and after a breakdown and discussion, they agree to go back to normal.

The Fraggle Rock episode "I Want to Be You" is all about this. Red gets jealous of Mokey for being (so she thinks) more popular than her and spends the episode trying to imitate Mokey's hairstyle, voice, touchy-feely new-age poetry, etc.
Interestingly, Karen Prell has stated that she originally was disappointed that she wasn’t cast as Mokey, but that this was the episode that taught her how to be Red.

Revolutionary Girl Utena: While half the cast displays envy in some form, there are two especially prominent examples:
Saionji, who (for all his bluster) really, really wants to either be Touga's "eternal friend" or else assimilate all of Touga's traits.
A more depressing take is Wakaba, Utena's Muggle Best Friend. While Wakaba blatantly wants to be "special" and blatantly attempts to emulate Utena, it's mostly Played for Laughs until the Black Rose Arc. When Wakaba gets hit with Mind Rape at her lowest point, her transformation into a Black Rose Duelist reads less as garden-variety Brainwashed and Crazy and more a total Loss of Inhibitions via More than Mind Control. During their duel, Wakaba bitterly rants about how Utena and other "special" people take their privilege for granted and trample the dreams of their less lucky peers. While she does save Wakaba, learning the Awful Truth about her friend leads to Utena drifting apart from Wakaba for the rest of the show.

Wakfu: It turns out that deep down the Big Bad of Season 3, Oropo wants to be Yugo. In a weird case of this trope, however, it turns out Oropo is already Yugo to some extent as Oropo is an Eliotrope, a race of beings Yugo created entirely by accident while using the six Eliatrope Dofus that not only physically resemble Yugo greatly, but have also inherited his memories and feelings. Indeed, Oropo looks like an adult Yugo with a Palette Swap and when he was a kid was basically Yugo's doppelganger. The complex this has given him, plus the feelings of abandonment and resentment the Eliotropes have felt for their unknowing creator, drive much of his motivations.

In an episode of Case Closed. A moderately wealthy stock trader murders his brother—a previously-successful and prize-winning novelist who spent too much time resting on his laurels and just loafing about, leeching off of his brother (he had some blackmail material about illegal insider trading, so the brother couldn't kick him out). The twist was that the stock trader didn't murder his brother for blackmailing him, or for living off of him, but because he admired him. He despaired at seeing his once-great brother sink into laziness, and decided to become him, so that he could bring back the brother he'd once admired. But of course, he'll first have to get away with murder... which won't happen while Conan is around!

Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Turnabout Intruder". Janet Lester was not appointed as a starship captain due to sexual discrimination by Starfleetnote Because times change, later Star Trek incarnations would establish that of course Starfleet had woman captains, and had done for a hundred years. This has the unfortunate side-effect of making Straw Feminist Lester seem even more insane than she was originally.]]. Due to anger over her mistreatment, she goes insane and uses an alien machine to switch bodies with Kirk and take command of the Enterprise.

A Song of Ice and Fire: One of the reasons why Cersei engages in her incestuous relationship with her twin brother Jaime is that she wants to be him because as they grew older she witnessed Tywin's favoritism towards Jaime and she resented how she was going to be little more than a political pawn while Jaime would end up inheriting Casterly Rock. She even mentions at one point that she's sure she would be a better Jaime than him.

In the Friday the 13th: The Series episode, "Mesmer's Bauble" an ugly fanboy uses the titular relic to get close to the singer he has a crush on. It isn't until late in the story that he realizes he doesn't love her as much as he wants to be her. He then uses the bauble to take over her body, killing her in the process.

Game of Thrones: According to Lena Headey, this is Cersei's Freudian Excuse for her incest with her twin Jaime and there are subtle hints of it in the show too. She frequently discusses what she would do if she were in Jaime's position, laments that she was born a woman and treated differently than him, and favours metallic accoutrements that simulate armour, such as when she dons an armoured dress when the Battle of Blackwater looks to be turning in Stannis' favor. This in turn may something to do with her spitefulness at Brienne at the Purple Wedding, Brienne having seemingly defied her supposed station far more successfully than Cersei and being noticeably close(r) to Jaime.

In the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, Metal Sonic, the first Evil Knockoff Eggman made of the eponymous hero, is either completely deluded into thinking he is the genuine article and wants to destroy Sonic believing SONIC is the knockoff, or he knows he's a copy but believes that he is superior and constantly challenges Sonic to prove it. Of course, this is Depending on the Writer.
Sonic Heroes uses both simultaneously, with Metal Sonic (now Metal Overlord) referring to Sonic as his copy while still acknowledging the fact that he was built for the sole purpose of defeating Sonic. It really drives home the Sanity Slippage Metal suffered from his multiple defeats over the years quite well, to the point he was willing to betray Doctor Eggman, take over his legions, and execute a plan that would end in taking over the world, all just to prove to everyone and himself that he was the superior one to Sonic.

Spider-Man:
In Kraven's Last Hunt, Kraven the Hunter drugs Spidey and buries him for two weeks while he imitates the wall-crawler. He proves to be unbelievably brutal to the point where it's very obvious it ain't him.
Starting with Spider-Man #700, Doctor Octopus is Spider-Man.
Carl King was a Schoolyard Bully All Grown Up who once tormented Peter Parker. He became envious of Peter after discovering his secret. Wanting to get spider powers like him, he found the dead spider that bit Peter (which had been preserved for study) and ate it. Instead of getting powers like Spider-Man's, he turned into a swarm of spiders called The Thousand that can invade people's bodies and control their corpses like puppets. The Thousand attempts this on Spider-Man so he can take his place.

One of the people Agent 47 can impersonate in Hitman (2016) is Jason Portman, a wealthy CEO who has come to the luxury GAMA hospital for plastic surgery to look like male model Helmut Kruger. Kruger appeared in the first mission of the game and looks almost identical to (and can also be impersonated by) 47. If 47 crosses paths with Portman, he'll briefly act starstruck at meeting Kruger, before he realizes 47 is a mere look alike and will then get pissed at him for "stealing his idea".

In the Lost Girl episode "The Kenzi Scale", a Kitsune named Inari kidnaps Kenzi, then shape-shifts into her and tries to take over her life. Inari had no friends and considered Kenzi to have the perfect life with her many friends. According to the other Kitsunes, she had tried similar stunts with their lives. She apparently didn't research Kenzi enough; her ruse is exposed when she casually eats peanuts, which Kenzi is allergic to.

It's been hinted that in Doctor Who, Rory Williams wanted to be more like the Doctor. Growing up, his friend Amy (later fiancé, later wife) always made him dress up and play as her imaginary friend 'The Raggedy Doctor'. Steven Moffat revealed that the only reason he became a nurse was him trying to be a doctor. When the Time Lord actually returned, Rory found himself competing with him. Eventually, though, Amy chose him anyway, and he's become far more comfortable with himself.
No doubt the fact that, since becoming a companion, he's taken so many levels in badass he's broken the scale has helped his self-esteem.
The Doctor himself is like this with humanity: in "Father's Day" he congratulates a pair of newlyweds by telling them that their life is "the adventure he can never have."

Edge accused CM Punk of wanting to be him on a 2009 edition of WWE SmackDown after Punk cashed in for the second time against Jeff Hardynote Up until Miz did it in 2021, Edge was the only person other than Punk to successfully cash in multiple Money in the Bank briefcases. Punk burst out into laughter when he said this and even the aforementioned Jeff (who was hardly being charitable to Punk at the time) thought it was a ridiculous claim.

In Fruits Basket, Kyo secretly wishes he was Yuki because he is envious of how Yuki seems to be a favorite in the Sohma family (as the Cat, Kyo is almost entirely hated by his family). Yuki, meanwhile, secretly is envious of how Kyo has a chance for a normal life, free of the confining Sohma family (as the "favorite" of the head of the family, Yuki was confined so much that for a time, he honestly had no idea how to interact with other children). For much of the series, Tohru is the only one who realizes how the two secretly admire each other. At the end of the series, when Tohru is in the hospital, Kyo finally spits out to Yuki how "I always wanted to be you!" and how he thinks Yuki is always able to do the right thing. Yuki, who is already angry with Kyo for rejecting Tohru's advances, punches him in the face while shouting "Shut up! Shut up! I was the one who always wanted to be you!"

This was Faith's motivation in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She wanted Buffy's friends, family, job, role models, lovers, and this would eventually lead to her Face–Heel Turn. Then she gets the chance to be Buffy and be heroic as her, slipping Faith out of the massive Jerkass phase she had and leading to a Heel–Face Turn. Ironically, most of what Buffy had that Faith wanted she gets.

Kingdom Hearts gives this one a little twist. Riku was always the cool one, the strong one, the popular one, and the special one, but he's spent his life intensely jealous of his best friend, Sora, for his simple mind and easy-going personality. And when it becomes clear that Sora, not Riku, is the hero of the story (due to Riku succumbing to The Dark Side right beforehand, which weakened his heart and forced the Keyblade to pick Sora instead), Riku's envy finally drives him off the deep end.
The irony is not lost on Riku when he later has to face off against a clone of himself (created circa the first game) in Chain of Memories. Said clone is obsessed with killing him so the replica can be the "real" Riku.

In Brainbent virtually all of Vriska Serket's current persona is copied from her Auntie Mindfang, including being a Badass Biker and self-proclaimed slut. In reality, Vriska was originally a Shrinking Violet who grew up in a conservative household and does not actually have much of a sense of self. This is in turn based on the original Vriska's characterization where she did the same thing with her ancestor Mindfang.

In Equestria: A History Revealed, all the Celestia-bashing aside, it becomes pretty clear later on that the Lemony Narrator wants to be like Princess Celestia. To an extent, she also acts this way to Princess Twilight too, and lashes out at both of them due to her issues of self-worth and her desire to prove herself.

One villain in The Sentinel was a serial killer to whom this trope was his modus operandi. He would target a person he found admirable for one reason or another, kill him or her, and then adopt his victim's identity.

The Transformers: Dark Cybertron: Rodimus admits this to Orion Pax/Optimus Prime as part of a Rousing Speech. Rodimus never really wanted to be a Prime, a title that Orion rejected because he felt he could not overcome the shameful legacy of his predecessors, he just wanted to be Optimus.
The Transformers: Last Stand of the Wreckers: "Primus apotheosis", an obsessive desire to be like the Autobot leader Optimus Prime, is a diagnosed mental illness that two percent of all Autobots and even a few Decepticons suffer. Pyro has the worst case of it Rotorstorm has ever seen. Pyro even modified his own chassis to resemble Optimus, right down to having a chest cavity for the Matrix of Leadership 'just in case'.
