A character's descendant or ancestor is physically identical (or would be, except for small cosmetic changes) to the character himself, and often has the same name. A subsection of Uncanny Family Resemblance. Of course, he might just be his own ancestor. This is normally the result of budget considerations when casting Time Travel stories, the consequence of having a long-term contract for a star when a show permanently jumps generations for some reason, or an excuse to do an Elseworld story with essentially the same character in a different setting. If the character and descendant are one and the same, then that's My Grandson, Myself. Despite the name, the trope is limited to neither males nor grandchildren. If someone who knew the ancestor (via being a Time Abyss, user of Time Travel or thawed-out Human Popsicle) meets the descendent, they may remark "You haven't changed a bit!" and need to be corrected. Compare with Visions of Another Self. When it's the life story that's identical, the character is a member of Generation Xerox. Of course, due to similarities in genetics, this can be compared to a Real Life version of the animation trope Only Six Faces. |

Lampshaded in The Pendragon Adventure. A young minor character that Bobby Pendragon and friends meet in 1937 is still alive in the present. In order to explain why they haven't aged at all, Bobby's friend Gunny tells him that they're the grandsons of the people he met in 1937. | |

In Natsume's Book of Friends, it's a major plot point that Takashi Natsume◊ is all but identical to his late grandmother, Reiko◊: many of his issues are caused by the fact that ayakashi, not very conscious of human sex differences or the passage of time, regularly assume they're the same person and take up whatever grudges they had on Reiko up with him. | |

The Terminator films fall into this trope; in the original movie, all of the T-800 model Terminators looked (and even smelled) like different people, in order to infiltrate human bunkers (and get past sentry-dogs); but in the sequels, somehow all of the T-800 Terminators look like Arnold — despite that this defeats the entire premise of organic cyborg-Terminators, since the humans would only need to watch out for anyone who looks like Arnold. (The original movie even showed this; the T-800 Terminator shown in the original flashback-scene was played by bodybuilder Franco Columbu). The best way to explain this is that all T-800s are the same basic endoskeleton, while the model numbers (Arnold's Terminator identifies himself as model 101) refer to the external appearance. So, all 101s resemble Arnold Schwarzenegger, while 102s resemble someone else. This explains Franco Columbu, who has the same basic endo-skeleton but is essentially a different sub-model. This is explicitly described at the beginning of the novelization for Terminator 2: Judgment Day, where future John Connors looks for the right model of T-800 to send into the past. | |

In Narbonic, versions of Helen, Dave, and Mell appear each generation. Partly justified as the Helens are cloning themselves, which becomes a plot point during a Mental Time Travel arc when Dave mistakes Helen's mother for her daughter. | |

Avenger Penguins: "The Wild Wild Wild West" shows that the villains Caractacus P. Doom, Harry Slime, and the Stink Brothers all had identical ancestors in the Wild West. "The 23rd Century" revolves around identical descendants of the Avenger Penguins, Doom, and Slime. The episode "High Doom" has the Doc from Saskatoon tell the Avenger Penguins about the adventures of their Wild West ancestors, who look exactly like the Avenger Penguins. The Wild West ancestors of Doom, Slime, and the Stink Brothers also appear. |

A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child. In Alice's dream of how Amanda Krueger was raped, one of the 100 maniacs looks exactly like pre-death Freddy Krueger, and is played by Robert Englund as well. Before Alice is assaulted by the maniacs, a shot briefly lingers on his face, hinting that this is, in fact, Freddy's biological father. It's also hinted that this is actually Freddy himself in disguise, although why he would take on the guise of his father is unclear. | |

Wonder Woman (1942): In the Golden Age, Wonder Woman's mother Hippolyta resembled her enough that she could disguise herself as her daughter pretty easily. This idea was abandoned in the Silver Age when Hyppolyta suddenly started getting colored as a blonde. But then brought back during the time where she was filling in for a missing Wonder Woman in Wonder Woman (1987). | |

The Ashkevron family in the Heralds of Valdemar series. A character even comments that "The Ashkevron family look tends to breed true, and when it doesn't the poor thing generally runs off to Haven." On one occasion a young woman of that family shows up at the capital and identifies an aunt she had never even met with "You must be Savil, you have the nose." | |

Sheep in the Big City: In the episode "Baa-ck in Time", General Specific and Private Public travel through time, at one point coming across a Conquistador ancestor of General Specific who's almost identical to him. The episode "Baah-dern Times" has the cast becoming sick and the narrator deciding to keep the audience entertained with a silent film starring the grandfathers of Sheep and General Specific, who each bears a considerable resemblance to his respective grandson. |

Flashbacks are even shown with the younger Bob looking exactly identical to PJ as a teenager. | |

In Sword of the Samurai none of your descendants are visible - until you die and one of them replaces you, at which point the new head of the family always looks completely identical to the previous one. This is mostly averted with the AI-controlled families, although the limited number of portraits means that once in a while this will happen to them as well. | |

X-Men: In the comics, Jean Grey has an identical 17th-century ancestor, Lady Grey, who was a member of the Hellfire Club. Most of the other ancestors of major characters involved with the club are also identical. When Magik and Mirage accidentally visit Ancient Egypt (in the 11th century BC, three millennia before their time), they meet Storm's ancestor, whom they immediately mistake for her descendant. Which is confusing because Storm's maternal family is from Kenya. According to the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, Storm's maternal family is a line of sorceresses/priestesses descended from a primeval goddess-entity called "the Bright Lady" who is implied to be an incarnation of Gaea the Earth-Goddess. This line is marked by white hair, blue eyes, and bizarre supernatural talents. So in fact, all of Storm's ancestors look alike, and this is justified as a supernatural trait. |

In Just Visiting, Christina Applegate plays both Jean Reno's fiancee and her present-day descendant. The same is true in the original French film (with the same lead actors) Les Visiteurs. This also serves to prove to him that he will find a way to get back to his own time and prevent his fiancee's/her father's death (depending on the version). |

Breath of the Wild introduces us to Impa's granddaughter Paya, and while Impa in that game is a Miniature Senior Citizen so they don't look all that much alike, the prequel Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity shows that Paya is nearly the spitting image of Impa 100 years ago. | |

A three-part story in Star Trek: Enterprise featured Dr Arik Soong, played by Brent Spiner, who had played Dr. Noonien Soong (and all the androids Noonien modelled on himself, including Commander Data as well as Data's Evil Twin Lore and undeveloped twin B4.) in Star Trek: The Next Generation. This has lead to some Fanwanky theories about Arik Soong actually being the same person as Noonien Soong, thanks to a rejuvenating planet Arik was in the neighborhood of once. The source of said fankwankery seems to be a throwaway line by Arik Soong at the end of his three-episode arc, about giving up on genetic engineering (which in his time is illegal) in favor of creating androids. The writers no doubt intended for the implication to be that he would be unable to complete the designs in his own lifetime, and that his descendant later finished his work. Other theories postulate that given Arik's expertise in genetic engineering, Noonien and all the generations between them were straight up clones. |

In Cybill, Cybill is hypnotized into viewing one of her past lives; the mystic says something like "Spirits tend to run in packs, so you can expect to see people you recognize." Thus justifying the medieval-era flashback in which everyone is played by the series' regulars. | |

In The Simpsons Abe Simpson looks exactly like his son, but older and wrinkled. In flashback episodes, Abe and Homer look exactly alike. Marge and her mother also bear a strong resemblance. The episode "The Color Yellow" has a weird variation on this — at first, the episode leads you to believe that the characters Hiram, Mabel, and Eliza Simpson (who look exactly like Homer, Marge, and Lisa, and who must be Homer's ancestors since their name is Simpson) are the identical ancestors of the present-day Simpsons. It turns out, though, that Mabel divorced Hiram and married escaped slave Virgil (who took Mabel's last name), which means that Homer and the kids have an ancestor who's identical to Marge. On the other hand, the trope is played straight with their son Abraham, who looks exactly like a slightly darker-complexioned Bart. One episode showed that Grandpa served alongside identical ancestors of Barney Gumble, Principal Skinner, and Chief Wiggum. And three other guys. It's also implied their CO was one for Ned Flanders. |

The Keonig brothers in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. were already all played by Patton Oswalt, and the three who worked for S.H.I.E.L.D. were uncanny in their resemblance to each other. So of course when the main characters went back to 1931 and met their grandfather Ernest Keonig, he too was played by Oswalt. | |

Coney Dewclaw, the carnivorous rabbit in Kevin & Kell, looks exactly like her grandmother Dorothy Kindle did when she was Coney's age. Unfortunately for Coney, that includes her height, meaning she's the shortest of her peer group once they start hitting their growth spurts. When Coney does get a growth spurt, it's only in her ears, which causes them to flop over...which just makes the resemblance to Dorothy even more uncanny. The only obvious difference is that, while Coney is a blonde, Dorothy has been depicted in flashbacks as a brunette before her hair turned white. | |

Horrible Histories has an Economy Cast and often depicts English monarchs who were related, so this happens. Matthew Baynton plays almost every one of the Stuart kings; he's most frequently cast as Charles II, but has also played Charles I and James I. Martha Howe-Douglas, as the only woman who's a regular cast member, has also done her fair share of playing multiple members of the same family, for example Elizabeth I, Mary I, and their cousin Mary Queen of Scots. | |

In .hack//Legend of the Twilight, Mireille looks suspiciously similar to Mistral. This is justified, though; the story takes place on the internet and she's using her (revealed to be) mother's account. In any case, it's established that player characters in the .hack franchise are all based on off-the-peg character types. There's a scene in .hack//SIGN where Subaru sees someone she thinks is Tsukasa but is actually a different character with only a few variations of hair color and facial markings. This is also lampshaded in .hack//Unison, where Black Rose and Mimiru have an argument as to who chose the character design first, and Tsukasa meets a younger player with the same basic design. .hack//Legend of the Twilight [Bracelet] begins with Shugo and Rena winning the right to use characters based on Kite and Black Rose (apparently those exact combinations of character customizations were locked by the admins after Kite and Black Rose's adventure, though to be fair Kite's was originally green without Wave marks, changing to his well-known form upon getting the bracelet and thus possible its not normally selectable anyways; additionally, the series uses chibi versions of the characters). | |

The action of Arcadia is set in both the early nineteenth and late twentieth centuries. When the play is staged, the same actor is used to play Augustus, a character from the nineteenth century, and Gus, from the twentieth. It's not explicitly stated that the latter is directly descended from the former, but they are certainly related. (There is also a possibility that they are intended to actually be the same character.) | |

No matter what timeline Marty McFly went to in the trilogy, his ancestors/descendants all resembled him or his mother (except for his father in the first movie). The same goes for his nemesis, Biff Tannen. In the animated series based on the films, wherever Doc and his family travel in time, they find identical and similarly named ancestors to Marty and his girlfriend Jennifer (who, ironically, does not look identical to herself, having been recast after the first film), including the age of dinosaurs. | |

The two-part finale of Star Trek: Picard Season 1 introduces Noonien Soong's son Altan, also played by Brent Spiner. Season 2 adds Adam Soong in 2024, who is last seen taking a file entitled "Project Khan", seemingly setting up Arik Soong's association with the Augments in Enterprise. His daughter Kore is played by Isa Briones, who previously played Data's synthetic daughters. Picard also meets the apparently human Tallinn (Orla Brady) who appears identical to his Romulan love interest Laris. Picard suggests that Tallinn is an ancestor, which is supported when she reveals herself to be a Romulan. | |

The Sandman: Jenna Coleman plays both Johanna Constantine in "Dream a Little Dream of Me" and her 19th-century ancestor, Lady Johanna, in a flashback in "The Sound of Her Wings". The makers of the series deliberately used this trope so that when Lady Johanna showed up audiences would know immediately who she was, to the point of Gender Flipping the modern-day Constantine (who's a man named John in the original comic) so they could cast one actress in both parts. | |

On Days of Our Lives, it was revealed that EJ DiMera looked identical to his grandfather Santo, while Samantha Brady looked identical to her grandfather's sister, Colleen. This became widely known to the show's characters after a collection of letters between Santo and Colleen was discovered. Oddly, after a letter was uncovered stating that EJ was not really Stefano's son, nobody seemed to recall the fact that EJ looks identical to Stefano's father. (That letter was eventually found to be a forgery, and Stefano really is EJ's father.) | |

There's also Channel Chasers, which shows Tommy Turner, who looks like his father with black hair (cluing the audience to believe Trixie or Tootie is his mother). The later episode "Timmy Turnip" has Timmy Turner's grandfather who looks like an older version of him, but with bigger, lighter blue eyes. | |

Lucifer: Cain returns to the bar where he frequently worked out of as a detective in 1958 when a copycat killer turns up in 2018, searching for inspiration, and instinctively calls the bartendress by name before remembering that it can't be the same person as she would've aged quite a bit since then. (He doesn't, because he's that Cain.) Turns out that she's the granddaughter of the woman he knew, and furthermore, his partner in 1958 is the grandfather. In the season 5 episode "It Never Ends Well For The Chicken" we learn that Maze looks exactly like her mother Lilith did before she gave up her immortality and grew old. Both characters are played by Lesley-Ann Brandt. Lucifer's narration lampshades the resemblance between the two of them. |

Wonder Woman: Wonder Woman (1942): In the Golden Age, Wonder Woman's mother Hippolyta resembled her enough that she could disguise herself as her daughter pretty easily. This idea was abandoned in the Silver Age when Hyppolyta suddenly started getting colored as a blonde. But then brought back during the time where she was filling in for a missing Wonder Woman in Wonder Woman (1987). On a couple of occasions where Diana's WWII era adventures are considered canon along with more modern day ones, Etta Candy is the name of two identical friends of hers, one of whom was the original leader of the paramilitary group the Holliday Girls during WWII and the other her daughter or other descendant during the modern day. Steve Trevor is generally dealt with by having him become immortal or spending a bunch of time some variety of dead in the interim before the Olympians and Chthonians brought him back. |

Doctor Who Novelisations The novelisation of The Massacre says that Anne Chaplet and her presumed descendent Dodo looked "identical". This is not the case in the TV version, although the actresses do look very similar. The novelisation of The Star Beast adds a scene at the start with a cleaner named Stew Ferguson, who thinks he vaguely recognises the Fourteenth Doctor from the time all those planets appeared in the sky, when he was working as a milkman. This presumably means that he's the milkman who met the Tenth Doctor during "The Stolen Earth", played by Andrew Bullivant. When he sees the TARDIS it reminds him of his grandad, who was a policeman in the fifties. Buillivant also played PC Ferguson in the The Sarah Jane Adventures episode "The Temptation of Sarah Jane Smith". |

This trope factors into a side quest in Dragon Age: Inquisition. The Inquisitor can accept a request to find evidence that Fairbanks, the local King of the Homeless, is really of noble birth.

Captain Planet and the Planeteers: A triple case in "Hog Tide". Don Porkaloin, Rex Rigger I, and Betty Blight all look the same as their respective grandchildren, save for small details, like Don's mustache. In "Future Shock", Zarm recruits three Eco-Villains from the distant future to try and ensure that their future happens by having them go back in time and kill a girl before she could grow up to encourage others to be more eco-friendly. The villains are descended from and bore a strong resemblance to Dr. Blight, Looten Plunder, and Verminous Skumm. To even the odds, Gaia later recruits a future team of Planeteers from an alternate timeline, with the bearers of fire, wind, and heart resembling Wheeler, Linka and Ma-Ti and the bearers of earth and water resembling gender-flipped versions of Kwame and Gi. Humorously, Wheeler asks Linka if their resemblance to the future bearers of fire and wind are a sign that they'll be together, but Linka denies this. |

In the Harry Potter saga, where Harry is noted for his resemblance to his father but with his mother's eyes. Later subverted when we get a detailed picture of what James Potter actually looked like at Harry's age; the resemblance is strong enough that they could be mistaken for one another at a distance or from behind, but stood side by side it would be fairly obvious which was which even without the eye-color difference. Albus Potter turns out to be the spitting image of Harry, green eyes and all. |

In both Assassin's Creed and Assassin's Creed II, Altaïr and Ezio look exactly like the protagonist Desmond Miles. All three of them even have a perfectly identical scar on their mouth.

In The Lost Prince, the Lost Prince's present-day descendant bears a striking resemblance to the surviving portrait of his distinguished ancestor considering the number of intervening generations.

With the exception of the fact that she has an extra pair of human ears under her hair, Couvert of Dog Days is the spitting image of Princess Clarifier. The confusing part is the fact that they aren't even directly related since Clarifier died before having any children. Couvert is actually a descendant of Clarifier's brother Valério and Adelaide. During Valério and Adelaide's story about Flonyard's history, we see that most of the other major characters were like this as well. | |

The Power Rangers franchise has been very fond of this one. The episode "Wild West Rangers" showed that five of the main characters (and at least one minor character) had identical ancestors in The Wild West (despite the implication that several of the characters were first-generation Americans). "The Return of the Green Ranger" featured two identical ancestors and an Evil Twin in the colonial period (of the same town). Condsidering the amount of magic that was thrown around in the first 3 seasons (as well as the cause of them traveling back), it could be said that A Wizard Did It. During Power Rangers Time Force, Jason Faunt played both red ranger Wes Collins and Alex, who was both his descendant and his professional predecessor a thousand years in the future. The Time Force analogy dovetails nicely with its Super Sentai original version. In Lightspeed Rescue, as a young woman, Kesey's grandmother looked just like her. |

In King of the Hill, Hank looks identical to his mother while Peggy looked almost exactly like her mother—before the retcon, that is. Bobby looks somewhat similar to his grandfather Cotton, except short and chubby, although it is unknown where he got his blonde hair from; all of his relatives were shown to have brown hair in their youth. In a flashback in the Halloween episode, young Hank looked just like Bobby. There's also Jun-ichiro, Hank's Japanese half-brother, who looks exactly like Hank with a different haircut, despite having a different mother. A couple of flashback episodes showed that Dale, Bill, and Boomhauer all resembled their dad as well. The case with Dale's father was eventually retconned, and later episodes gave him a radically different appearance and voice actor. |

Sesame Street: On one episode, in a flashback, Gordon's father recalls how when he was young he was a singer who greatly resembled his grandson, Miles, despite the fact that Miles is ADOPTED. In the Christmas Special Once Upon a Sesame Street Christmas, Elmo's dad tells him a story about his great-great-grandmonster (also named Elmo) arriving in a 19th century Sesame Street full of familiar Muppets in period clothing. It's even Lampshaded when Elmo realizes how implausible it is and catches on that his Dad is making the story up. |

In the Discworld book Eric, by Terry Pratchett, Rincewind (and his demonology hacker companion) travels back to a fantasy counterpart of the Trojan War, where he meets a sensibly devious adventurer named Lavaeolus. He does not realize the relationship until later but notes that Lavaeolus looks very handsome. It is implied that Lav is an ancestor of Rincewind's (and in Dog Latin it is revealed that Lavaeolus means "rinser of winds"). Unfortunately, the illustrations don't reflect this. | |

Oz Vessalius from PandoraHearts looks exactly like a younger version of Jack, his ancestor. This becomes completely justified and subverted at the same time when it's revealed that Oz is not a true Vessalius but rather the soul of the B-Rabbit who is inhabiting Jack's backwards-aging body. | |

When Magik and Mirage accidentally visit Ancient Egypt (in the 11th century BC, three millennia before their time), they meet Storm's ancestor, whom they immediately mistake for her descendant. Which is confusing because Storm's maternal family is from Kenya. According to the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, Storm's maternal family is a line of sorceresses/priestesses descended from a primeval goddess-entity called "the Bright Lady" who is implied to be an incarnation of Gaea the Earth-Goddess. This line is marked by white hair, blue eyes, and bizarre supernatural talents. So in fact, all of Storm's ancestors look alike, and this is justified as a supernatural trait. | |

Homestuck: Averted. All of the characters involved in an SBURB session have a parent or ancestor who resembles them, and troll culture (due to Bizarre Alien Reproduction making tracing lineage impossible) even has characters latch on to historical figures who share the most physical features, calling those "ancestors", but it's rare for them to be identical. Quite a feat, considering the limited art style. Interestingly, the one person who does subscribe to this trope is Dad: he looks like a less hairy version of his grandfather by adoption, Colonel Sassacre. | |

Every male member of Captain Harlock's family line is named "Phantom F. Harlock," has the same facial features, build and hairstyle, pilots some kind of aircraft, and frequently has an identical scar on his cheek. This has been shown to extend at least back to the World War I era (from a main series set in the far future). His short, squat sidekick Ooyama also has identical ancestors, although they don't crop up quite as often. Gun Frontier had an ancestor named "Westerner Franklin Harlock" who also looked identical to the Harlock in the future stories. They are also voiced by the same English voice actor. | |

Tales of Phantasia has three generations of this, due to the three time periods. Each time period has its own member of the Morrison family, all of whom use the same sprite with only the clothes being different (and that's just a color swap).

Used in the Metal Gear series with Big Boss and his three clone sons. Solid Snake and Liquid Snake in Metal Gear Solid are mirror images of each other, but with different skin tones and hairstyles, while Solidus Snake in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, who has the same face as Solid Snake, is said to resemble the elder Big Boss from the early Metal Gear games. In contrast, Naked Snake, the young Big Boss from Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, resembles the young Solid Snake from the MGS titles. It is later averted though, in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. When Big Boss shows up in the epilogue, he looks very different from Old Snake, with a different voice actor. However, Old Snake is an imperfect clone of Big Boss, and his accelerated aging combined with FOXDIE, his facial damage in the Volta River fire and his physical ailments could have simply taken him biologically in a different direction. Also, except for the latter's wheelchair, Otacon is the image of his father, Huey, complete with the same style of glasses. |

In Red Dwarf one of Lister's twin sons, Bexley, apparently looks enough like Lister that Rimmer mistook Bexley for him in a future echo. It's unknown if Bexley's twin brother Jim looks like him as well. And then there's the case of Lister's other son…himself. Despite having (an alternate version of) Kochanski as his mother his son gets all his looks from his father. | |

The only difference between Kaoru and her late mother in I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying is that Kaoru's hair is naturally purple and her mother's was caramel-colored. However, Kaoru started dyeing her hair blonde after getting married to Hajime, increasing the resemblance even further. | |

Marvel Universe: Captain America: Sharon Carter looks identical to Peggy Carter, a hero of World War II and member of the French Resistance. Originally, the two were sisters but were retconned to be aunt and niece to ease timeline issues. Two stories feature The American Revolution hero Captain Stephen Rogers, who looks identical to his descendant. In the second story, he briefly wears a costume created by a British loyalist to satirize the American flag. Captain America: Hail Hydra! shows the history of Hydra from ancient Mesopotamia to the present day. The head of their immortality research is almost always a bald, bug-eyed man with a permanent Slasher Smile. Word of God is that this is the family line of Dr. Geist, the present-day holder of this position. Ms. Marvel: Ms. Marvel (2016) #36 shows a flashback to 1257 focusing on Kamala's ancestor, Kamilah of Samarkand, who's the spitting image of her 21st Century descendant. The sequence also shows counterparts to Kamala's closest friends, such as the Italian knight Sir Brunello (identical to Bruno Carelli, down to an implied crush on Kamilah), Sir Josuah (Josh), and Lady Zoë (Zoe Zimmer); while these aren't stated to actually be their counterparts' ancestors, they look identical to them and share their personalities. X-Men: In the comics, Jean Grey has an identical 17th-century ancestor, Lady Grey, who was a member of the Hellfire Club. Most of the other ancestors of major characters involved with the club are also identical. When Magik and Mirage accidentally visit Ancient Egypt (in the 11th century BC, three millennia before their time), they meet Storm's ancestor, whom they immediately mistake for her descendant. Which is confusing because Storm's maternal family is from Kenya. According to the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, Storm's maternal family is a line of sorceresses/priestesses descended from a primeval goddess-entity called "the Bright Lady" who is implied to be an incarnation of Gaea the Earth-Goddess. This line is marked by white hair, blue eyes, and bizarre supernatural talents. So in fact, all of Storm's ancestors look alike, and this is justified as a supernatural trait. |

Doctor Who Expanded Universe: The Past Doctor Adventures novel The Eleventh Tiger teases the idea that Ian Chesterton has crossed his own timestream as the amnesiac Major Chesterton, before revealing the Major is actually Ian's Identical Great-Great-Grandfather. And in the Eighth Doctor Adventures book The Taint, Fitz's great-grandfather's Obliviously Evil twin is recognizably similar to Fitz himself: same long nose, straggly hair, and thin face and build. Fitz keeps finding him "infuriatingly familiar", quite possibly because he's looking at an older (but not that much, for some reason) version of the same face he shaves (or not) every morning. Also, unsettlingly, he has moments of acting like a Psychopathic Manchild version of Fitz. Doctor Who Novelisations The novelisation of The Massacre says that Anne Chaplet and her presumed descendent Dodo looked "identical". This is not the case in the TV version, although the actresses do look very similar. The novelisation of The Star Beast adds a scene at the start with a cleaner named Stew Ferguson, who thinks he vaguely recognises the Fourteenth Doctor from the time all those planets appeared in the sky, when he was working as a milkman. This presumably means that he's the milkman who met the Tenth Doctor during "The Stolen Earth", played by Andrew Bullivant. When he sees the TARDIS it reminds him of his grandad, who was a policeman in the fifties. Buillivant also played PC Ferguson in the The Sarah Jane Adventures episode "The Temptation of Sarah Jane Smith". |

It is later averted though, in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. When Big Boss shows up in the epilogue, he looks very different from Old Snake, with a different voice actor. However, Old Snake is an imperfect clone of Big Boss, and his accelerated aging combined with FOXDIE, his facial damage in the Volta River fire and his physical ailments could have simply taken him biologically in a different direction. | |

Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha ViVid introduces Einhard Stratos and Sieglinde Jeremiah, who look very similar to their ancestors Claus G.S. Ingvalt and Wilfried Jeremiah, respectively. In Einhart's case, she only looks similar to her male ancestor when he was younger. There is also Fabia Crozelg, who also looks very similar to her Cat Girl witch ancestor. Vivio Takamachi's case is different because she's a clone of Olive Sägebrecht, which justifies their resemblance. | |

This trope has become less pronounced as the series has gone on. In Revelations, Desmond looks little like Ezio, Altaïr or Altaïr's children. By Assassin's Creed III the similarities have almost entirely disappeared: there's a certain family resemblance but neither Connor nor Haytham Kenway look like Desmond. Edward Kenway from Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag doesn't resemble Desmond in any way. | |

The line of Berethnet queens in The Priory of the Orange Tree stretches back centuries, but one character walking the portrait gallery says that the thirty-six queens from the first to the latest could all be sisters from their looks. This, coupled with the fact that the queens always give birth to one child and that child is always a girl, reinforces the belief that line is blessed by Galian the Saint (although others whisper that it hints of sorcery). It is actually because they are descended from Kalyba the enchantress, who used Cleolind's guise to marry Galian. | |

Possible to pull off in the Revelation path of Fire Emblem Fates if Selena is married off to Subaki. Caeldori then looks like a dead ringer for her maternal grandmother Cordelia. She and her mother even get unique Supports regarding this trope that she doesn't get with any other potential mother. Another example is Ophelia, who looks a lot like her paternal grandmother, Lissa. The resemblance is even greater should she have a blonde mother, and unlike with Caeldori, this can be done on either the Conquest or Revelation route. In the Heirs of Fate DLC it's noted that Shigure looks like his very distant ancestor King Cadros of Valla. |

Laura Haddock plays Star-Lord's mother Meredith in Guardians of the Galaxy, but she also appeared in Captain America: The First Avenger as a random Captain America fangirl asking him for an autograph.

Captain Price in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare looks exactly like Captain Price of World War II-era Call of Duty 1 and 2, right down to the righteous mustache and badass attitude, though he is less polite. A developer for Infinity Ward, Sami Onur, gave some Word of God on the matter. He said that the Modern Warfare Price is intended to be the grandson of the World War II Captain Price. There have been a few rather sneaky references to the actual character's origin, however (for instance, one of the final Modern Warfare 2 cutscenes makes it clear that Price still has the Call of Duty 1-specific dedicated pistol slot, containing the same incorrect-for-his-country M1911). |

Mick tries to pull this on Beth in the second episode of Moonlight, when she finds a picture of him from decades before, claiming it's his father. By the end of the episode, though, she knows the truth—he's a vampire. She starts to suspect something when she meets a retired cop (who is now blind), whom Mick still occasionally visits. When she asks him about the late Mick "Sr.", the cop is confused, as the Mick he knows is alive and well and never had children. |

An episode of Jackie Chan Adventures features a journal, written by Jackie's ancestor, which involved identical western ancestors of all the main characters. However, it was established that this was being visualized by Jade, and she was deliberately ignoring that the journal described the character she'd picked as her own counterpart as an adult. On the other hand, the cover of the book clearly showed the "Hong Kong Kid" was identical to Jackie. | |

Smallville: In the Flashback episode "Relic", we see Clark's real father, Jor-El, and Lana's great aunt, Louise McCallum, both played by Lana and Clark's actors. (Lionel Luthor's father and Jonathan Kent's father also appeared, but surprisingly Lachlan Luthor was played by John Mann instead of John Glover and Hiram Kent was played by Dean Wray instead of John Schneider.) Especially interesting because of the Retcon when Jor-El comes to Smallville (in the 9th season) and he is acted by Julian Sands… who looks nothing like Tom Welling… to the point of having different hair colors. Also in the episode "Spell", it's revealed in flashback that Lana looks exactly like another one of her ancestors: the seventeen century witch Countess Margaret Isobel Thoureax. |

This is unexplained until Elena finds out that she was adopted, and that her birth mother is a direct descendant of Katherine. Furthermore it's eventually revealed that the reason they look identical after many generations is because they're both "Petrova dopplegangers", indicating that there's a mystical reason for the doubling. | |

The Odd Couple: In one episode, Felix (Tony Randall) reflects on how he's always been fussy. A flashback shows his grandfather (also played by Tony Randall) telling him "There are two things no one likes—a dirty old man and a clean young boy". Another episode had Felix relate a story a relative told him about how his and Oscar's fathers met during Prohibition. Tony Randall and Jack Klugman played their characters' fathers. |

In Drakengard 3, One and her twin brother bear a striking resemblance to Manah and Seere from the first game. This is because male One is their distant ancestor, according to supplementary material. | |

Jinora, Aang's granddaughter, looks quite a lot like her grandfather did when he was young. The difference isn't as obvious due to Jinora being a girl with a full head of hair, but it's still there. It becomes extremely obvious at the end of season 3, as she shaves her head and receives the airbending master's tattoos. She looks nearly identical to Aang in the ending shot. The biggest difference is that they have different eye colors, but their faces are very similar. | |

In Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger, it turns out that Daigo Kiryu / Kyoryu Red / (Ryo Ryusei) had an identical ancestor (Moshinosuke Iwaizumi) in the Sengoku period some 500 years prior, and that Sixth Ranger Fish out of Temporal Water Utsusemimaru served under before his Lord was killed in action. V-Cinema movie, "100 Years After", this trope is played literally with the new Kyoryugers. Well, technically it's "Identical Great-Grandson/Daughter" (or Great Great Nephew, in Nobuta's case). | |

Doraemon has a severe case Strong Family Resemblance syndrome, which dictates that within a family or lineage (be it immediate or extended), everyone looks alike (even wives and husbands). Nobita's grandson wants to change his grandfather's loser's faith and sends Doraemon back in time to help him become a better man. At one time he also sends Doraemon's little sister Dorami to replace Doraemon because he thinks Doraemon isn't doing a good job, but because Nobita's grown attached to Doraemon so they're still together. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Link and Zelda appear again and again… only they're not quite the same Link nor Zelda. Only one Link has been confirmed to be the direct descendant of another note The Hero of Twilight from Twilight Princess is descended from and mentored by the ghost of the Hero ofTime, from Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask . However, it's implied in Zelda II: The Adventure of Link and in The Wind Waker that the green-clad hero and noble lady of the royal line may be reincarnated again and again. Zelda II actually has Link set out on a quest by Princess Zelda to wake one of her predecessors, also named Princess Zelda, from a deep sleep. Although similar, Link and Zelda don't exactly look identical in each game. For instance, though Zelda has been bright-blonde in most of the post-Ocarina games, her Twilight Princess look is dirty-blonde/brunette. In Oracle of Ages, anyone who was actually surprised that Ralph is Queen Ambi's grandson clearly has never looked at the character art— they're both Significant Green Eyed Redheads with forked eyebrows and a penchant for the color blue. Gender, age, and clothing aside, the only visual difference between them is that Ambi has Tareme Eyes and Ralph has Tsurime Eyes. Spirit Tracks has Linebeck III as a literal example, who looks exactly like his grandad from Phantom Hourglass. Zelda herself lacks the strong tan and Odango-esque hairstyle of her great-great-grandmother (though they do look the same when dressed up). Link looks the same, although we don't exactly know if he's actually related to Wind Waker Link. In fact, a lot of characters in Spirit Tracks bear resemblance to their potential ancestors from Phantom Hourglass and Wind Waker. In The Wind Waker, Hyrule Castle has a portrait of Princess Zelda with her retainers. You might find that these pira—er, retainers look a bit familiar to Tetra's crew. Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule also has a suspiciously similar-looking ancestor by the name of Daltus in The Minish Cap (who himself has an identical ancestor named Gustaf). Skyward Sword introduces two minor ones, both shopkeepers: the fortune-teller Sparrot, ancestor of Twilight Princess's Madame Fanadi, and yet another incarnation of Beedle. This is a somewhat interesting case, as the next appearances of these likenesses occur many hundreds of years after this game, meaning either their family lines managed to keep their heads down for all that time or that it's not just Link and Zelda who get reincarnated. Breath of the Wild introduces us to Impa's granddaughter Paya, and while Impa in that game is a Miniature Senior Citizen so they don't look all that much alike, the prequel Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity shows that Paya is nearly the spitting image of Impa 100 years ago. |

In the Dune saga, where Miles Teg is noted for his resemblance to his millennia-dead ancestor Duke Leto Atreides I.

The episode, "How The Station Got Its Name" from Shining Time Station features the children and Mr. Conductor traveling back in time and meeting the grandparents of the people who run the station in their present. Unsurprisingly, the station's former staff are played by the same actors who play their grandchildren, and thus all look identical to said grandchildren. Even the Jukebox Band's grandparents look identical, though they work in a pedal piano instead of a jukebox. | |

This trope is key to solving a puzzle in The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky. In order to gain access to the services and records on the Liber Ark, the party needs to unlock the encryption lock on a Gospel which among other things, functions as an ID. The problem lies in the fact that it's genetically keyed to the owner's records make it impossible even for the local Genius Ditz to crack. As it turns out, Princess Kloe is descended from someone who had an account: Celeste D. Auslese. The ancestor in question had been dead for nearly twelve centuries. Interestingly, the computer claims that she bears a 72% match to Celeste herself. | |

On a couple of occasions where Diana's WWII era adventures are considered canon along with more modern day ones, Etta Candy is the name of two identical friends of hers, one of whom was the original leader of the paramilitary group the Holliday Girls during WWII and the other her daughter or other descendant during the modern day. Steve Trevor is generally dealt with by having him become immortal or spending a bunch of time some variety of dead in the interim before the Olympians and Chthonians brought him back. | |

Phineas and Ferb has their entire cast get into the act in "The Monster of Phineas-n-Ferbenstein". Instead of having Candace trying to tell her mother what her brothers are up to, we've got Constance threatening to tell a mob the Phineas and Ferb analogues made a monster. Like Linda Flynn, the mob doesn't believe her until they see Constance having got turned into a monster. Only confirmed ancestor was Ferb's look-alike. And this is probably just a kid's visualization of Grandpa's story, not really a flashback (Phineas and Candace disputing about proper picture style) In the episode "Phineas and Ferb's Quantum Boogaloo", Candace (20 years older) has a daughter almost identical to her. And Candace herself grew up to be much like her mom. Sort of averted with her other kids—despite her future family clearly mirroring her current one (complaining older daughter, two serene younger sons), neither looks like their avuncular counterparts. On the other hand, Xavier's blond hair does bring to mind who his father might be… |

The Great Ace Attorney, a Spin-Off series of the Ace Attorney franchise that's set in the beginning of the 20th century, has two cases of this. The protagonist of the Spin-Off Ryunosuke Naruhodo is the ancestor of Phoenix Wright (Ryuichi Naruhodo in Japan), as can be told since Ryunosuke looks like Phoenix, only lacking the latter's Anime Hair and Unusual Eyebrows, as shown in this offical art◊ for comparison. Similarly, the first rival prosecutor of the Spin-Off, Taketsuchi Auchi◊, is the ancestor of main series prosecutors Winston Payne◊(Takefumi Auchi) and Gaspen Payne◊(Fumitake Auchi). |

This was used over and over again on Passions, where several characters were depicted as reincarnations of family members from generations past, and the same actors portrayed the characters from these past lives. In particular, Sheridan, Luis, and Antonio were revealed to have lived out many past lives together, as were Miguel and Charity. In one case, the Pilgrim-era Prudence Standish was originally depicted as a past life of protagonist Charity Standish; however, after Charity was written out of the show and her rival Kay completed a Heel–Face Turn, Prudence was later depicted as a past life of Kay and switched to being played by the other actress. | |

Most of the "new generation" characters in Gundam Wing's sequel novel Frozen Teardrop are this, including the second Duo Maxwell,note Who might not even be Duo 1's biological son Qaterine Winner (younger sister of Quatre) and Kathy Po (daughter of Sally). The most creative they get with this is having Zechs Merquise and Lucrezia Noin's children each look like their opposite-gender parent. It also goes retroactive, revealing that Relena Peacecraft is a dead ringer for both her grandmother Katrina and her great-aunt Sabrina, though this last bit is justified by their being twins. And then it's taken even further with Katrina wearing the same◊ Cool Mask her grandson Milliardo would wear as Zechs Merquise. | |

In one of the appendices of The Lord of the Rings, it's mentioned that the Longbeard dwarves will sometimes produce an heir who resembles their original ancestor Durin so much that they not only name him Durin but believe that he is the same Durin, returned to them. Up to Durin VII are recorded as Kings of Durin's Folk, it's unclear if this practice is maintained outside of the direct line of succession. Arwen is said to be extremely similar to her great-great-grandmother, Luthien Tinuviel. Overlaps with Generation Xerox as both women choose to relinquish their immortality for love of a mortal man. |

Used repeatedly in Dark Shadows, where every generation of the Collins family looked exactly like every other generation of the Collins family. This extended to non-Collins characters as well, even to the point of people unrelated to the Collins family being Collins family members in past incarnations, while Collinses appear as unrelated past people. This also applied to alternate timelines and past alternate timelines. The practice was continued when the show was remade in The '90s. | |

A Star Trek novel specifically states that Worf was named after his grandfather, who was killed onboard a transport that collided with a Cardassian freighter (the sheer improbability of two ships accidentally colliding in orbit indicates sabotage). So yes, Worf's grandfather didn't die a warrior's death but was merely collateral damage. The movie Star Trek Generations includes a portrait of one of Jean-Luc Picard's ancestors, who fought at Trafalgar. He looks exactly like Patrick Stewart. In the Star Trek: Voyager episode "11:59," Captain Janeway's 20th century ancestor Shannon O'Donnell, later Shannon Janeway, is played by Kate Mulgrew. What's hilarious is that Seven of Nine is puzzled by Janeway's interest in O'Donnell's life, pointing out that after so many generations Janeway only has a fraction of her DNA. Hah! Even more hilarious since humans share something like 99% of the same DNA, which means that Janeway's "fraction" of O'Donnell's DNA is much bigger than 7 seems to think. A three-part story in Star Trek: Enterprise featured Dr Arik Soong, played by Brent Spiner, who had played Dr. Noonien Soong (and all the androids Noonien modelled on himself, including Commander Data as well as Data's Evil Twin Lore and undeveloped twin B4.) in Star Trek: The Next Generation. This has lead to some Fanwanky theories about Arik Soong actually being the same person as Noonien Soong, thanks to a rejuvenating planet Arik was in the neighborhood of once. The source of said fankwankery seems to be a throwaway line by Arik Soong at the end of his three-episode arc, about giving up on genetic engineering (which in his time is illegal) in favor of creating androids. The writers no doubt intended for the implication to be that he would be unable to complete the designs in his own lifetime, and that his descendant later finished his work. Other theories postulate that given Arik's expertise in genetic engineering, Noonien and all the generations between them were straight up clones. The Enterprise story "Carbon Creek" features T'Pol's great-grandmother T'Mir, also played by Jolene Blalock. T'Mir's story is told by T'Pol and may or may not be true, but as to whether T'Pol really had a great-grandmother named T'Mir who really did look like T'Pol... well, that's another story. The episode ends with T'Pol taking out a purse from a box, which looks identical to the one her great-grandmother supposedly had on Earth. Vulcan women don't generally carry purses. Star Trek: The Next Generation—an alternate timeline Tasha Yar and her half-Romulan daughter, Sela, are both played by Denise Crosby. Oddly enough, her sister Ishara Yar is not. Also from the Next Generation episode "The Neutral Zone", Claire Raymond, who was woken up from cryogenic stasis after 370 years, finds that she has a great-great-great-great-great-grandson… who looks identical to her husband Donald. In the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Operation: Annihilate!", Kirk finds the body of his recently deceased brother — also played by William Shatner. It wasn't very visible in the original release, which is probably why they figured it would be workable, but it's incredibly apparent in the remastered version of the episode. The two-part finale of Star Trek: Picard Season 1 introduces Noonien Soong's son Altan, also played by Brent Spiner. Season 2 adds Adam Soong in 2024, who is last seen taking a file entitled "Project Khan", seemingly setting up Arik Soong's association with the Augments in Enterprise. His daughter Kore is played by Isa Briones, who previously played Data's synthetic daughters. Picard also meets the apparently human Tallinn (Orla Brady) who appears identical to his Romulan love interest Laris. Picard suggests that Tallinn is an ancestor, which is supported when she reveals herself to be a Romulan. And finally, the season 3 finale for Picard gives us a voiceover cameo from Anton Chekov, the son of Pavel, who had ascended to the office of President of the Federation, voiced by Walter Koenig. This one has double meaning, since in-universe it makes perfect sense that Pavel, fanboy of all things Russian, would name his son after the Russian playwright that coined Chekhov's Gun, but in the real world is a fitting tribute to the late Anton Yelchin, who had portrayed Pavel in the alternate timeline films. |

In Ultraman Tiga Gaiden: Revival of the Ancient Giant, the protagonist Tsubasa Madoka enters a wormhole leading him several millenia into the past, where he encountered a Hunter of Monsters named Mahoroba who looks exactly like his older sister, Hikari. It turns out Mahoroba actually belongs to the Madoka bloodline, and could very well be Tsubasa's and Hikari's ancestor - Tsubasa even shows Mahoroba his locket containing a snapshot of him and his sister, and audiences could tell Hikari and Mahoroba are both portrayed by the same actress. | |

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra: Averted, but not through design. Irish actor David Murray was originally cast to play Destro but could not take the role due to problems with his visa. He only had time to play the McCullen ancestor from the beginning of the film before his visa expired. Christopher Eccleston ended up playing the role of the modern McCullen/Destro, and while he and Murray look somewhat similar, they at least aren't clones of each other. Played Straight with Sergeant Stone, according to Brendan Frasier, he's a descendant of Rick O'Connell. |

In Day of the Tentacle, you travel into the future and meet people who look suspiciously like Nurse Edna, Doctor Fred, and Weird Ed, but they call themselves "Nurse Zedna," "Doctor Zed" and "Weird Zed." They're the descendants of the original Maniac Mansion characters. Additionally, traveling to the past results in encounters with Red Edison, Dr. Fred Edison's identical ancestor (wearing a powdered wig, of course). | |

Averted in the revival that was telecast in 2000, however, where the same young adult actress plays Wendy both as a child and as a woman, just with a more mature hairstyle and Glasses of Aging in the epilogue, while Jane is played by a separate actress. | |

Skyward Sword introduces two minor ones, both shopkeepers: the fortune-teller Sparrot, ancestor of Twilight Princess's Madame Fanadi, and yet another incarnation of Beedle. This is a somewhat interesting case, as the next appearances of these likenesses occur many hundreds of years after this game, meaning either their family lines managed to keep their heads down for all that time or that it's not just Link and Zelda who get reincarnated. | |

While it is taking place in an alternate universe, the one-shot Sailor Moon manga, Parallel Sailor Moon, stars a bunch of daughters of the Guardian Senshi who not only look exactly like their parents, they even have the same names as them. The only apparent exceptions—Usagi's daughters Chibiusa and Kousagi—are simply obscure to English readers. "Usagi" means "rabbit", and "Kousagi" means "small rabbit"; "Chibiusa" is just a nickname meaning "little Usa(gi)"—she's really named for her mother, just like all the other Senshi's daughters. | |

Legion of Super-Heroes: In one issue, the descendants of modern-day Lex Luthor and Mr. Mxyzptlk look identical and have the same abilities as their ancestors, and are discriminated against by society because of what their ancestors did. The Legion and the stories surrounding it take place a thousand years in the future. Superboy 1949 #217 introduces Laurel Kent, Clark Kent and Lois Lane's 30th century descendant, which looks almost identical to her 20th century female ancestor. Superman's Return to Krypton: Superman goes back in time and attends his biological parents' wedding on Krypton. One of the attendants remarks on his resemblance to Jor-El's father (ergo, Superman's grandfather) Supergirl's Greatest Challenge: Whizzy looks so much like his very distant ancestor Streaky the Supercat that Supergirl initially mistakes him with Streaky.

Back to the Future: No matter what timeline Marty McFly went to in the trilogy, his ancestors/descendants all resembled him or his mother (except for his father in the first movie). The same goes for his nemesis, Biff Tannen. In the animated series based on the films, wherever Doc and his family travel in time, they find identical and similarly named ancestors to Marty and his girlfriend Jennifer (who, ironically, does not look identical to herself, having been recast after the first film), including the age of dinosaurs. It's worth noting that, according to Jeffrey Weissman (George in parts II and III), the role of great-grandfather Seamus McFly was originally written for Crispin Glover. In the Telltale game, Marty's grandfather Artie McFly does end up looking and sounding like Crispin Glover. In Back to the Future Part III, Marty's ancestor Seamus McFly is identical to Marty (both are played by Michael J. Fox), but the ancestor's wife Maggie is identical to Marty's mother (both are played by Lea Thompson) despite not being her ancestor. Director Robert Zemeckis has stated that McFly men are just attracted to women who look like Lea Thompson. About the only characters immune to this would be Doc (old enough that he appears in several time periods looking exactly the same) and Strickland (the Marshal is played by the same person as the Dean Bitterman, but pains are taken to make them look fairly different). |

Vic and Vic Jr. (who was multiple generations removed) in Red vs. Blue use identical models and voice actors. This is played for laughs more than anything else. Later seasons strongly imply that not only was Vic Jr. actually just Vic being deceptive, but that Vic wasn't even human. Later confirmed that VIC is an AI created to oversee the simulation troopers. He was originally serious and businesslike, until Agent Florida (a.k.a. Captain Butch Flowers) accidentally knocked out his power cable, resulting in data corruption and personality changes. | |

In the Kim Possible episode "Rewriting History," practically every main character on the show had a counterpart one hundred years ago with not only a similar appearance, but a similar name. According to Word of God, the episode was not a dream. Additionally, after they come out of the dream (and regardless of its actual status) Kim and Ron are confronted by a statue of someone who looks exactly like Ron from Ancient Rome and learns of his ancient nemesis and mysterious female ally who bears an uncanny resemblance to Dr. Drakken and Kim. | |

In Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box, the resemblance between Katia and her grandmother, Sophia, is so strong that even the game's main antagonist confuses the two. Considering that he's mistaking Katia for his estranged lover and he's really her grandfather, it's no wonder the poor girl gets a little distressed before she finally gets a chance to explain. | |

Rupert made use of this trope twice. "Rupert's Roman Adventure" had Rupert Bear and Bill Badger go back in time to when Nutwood was a village called Nutwoodium and was being visited by Julius Caesar. While there, they encounter identical ancestors of the Professor, Dr. Chimp, Podgy Pig, and Ottoline Otter. "Rupert and Queen Bess" had Rupert and Ottoline go back to the time of William Shakespeare. People bearing at least some resemblance to Podgy Pig, Algy Pug, and Bill Badger who are most likely their ancestors from that time can be seen. |

In Back to the Future Part III, Marty's ancestor Seamus McFly is identical to Marty (both are played by Michael J. Fox), but the ancestor's wife Maggie is identical to Marty's mother (both are played by Lea Thompson) despite not being her ancestor. Director Robert Zemeckis has stated that McFly men are just attracted to women who look like Lea Thompson. | |

Jerry Lawler and his son Brian, best known as Brian Christopher (his real given names) and Grandmaster Sexay, had such a strong family resemblance that no matter how much Jerry's promotions tried to hide their relationship when Brian started out in the business, Brian's parentage became one of the worst-kept secrets in pro wrestling history. And Stu and Bret Hart. |

In The History of the Galaxy series, John Mitchell St. Ivo looks almost exactly like his great-grandfather Erlik St. Ivo, the founder of Galactic Cybersystems thanks to several generations of inbreeding starting with Erlik himself, who married his cousin Liza in order to maintain the secrecy of the company (whose headquarters and automated production lines were located on a remote, uninhabited world). Erlik and Liza had a son and a daughter, whose DNA they modified so they weren't genetically related, allowing the children to continue the line. Apparently, the fact that they still had the same parents and were raised as brother and sister didn't create any issues. This continued until the birth of André St. Ivo, whose intelligence was far below normal. Realizing a fresh "infusion" of blood was necessary to keep the family (and the business) going, André's parents didn't have a second child, forcing him to look for a bride on other worlds. André ended up marrying Theia Mitchell, who wound up effectively running Galactic Cybersystems and gave birth to two healthy sons: Aramant (who looked exactly like André) and John. André, jealous of Theia, has her shot and then her almost-dead body turned into a bio-doll for his pleasure. Meanwhile, Aramant is groomed as André's successor, while John grows up in an Idle Rich lifestyle. One day, Aramant finds out the truth about his mother, who was kept in stasis while André wasn't using her body and tries to wake her. Thanks to his resemblance to his father, he is killed by Theia who manages to break her mental conditioning who doesn't know how much time has passed. John ends up mortally wounded by André's robots and has his mind copied onto an android, who was modeled on Erlik St. Ivo. Given that John looks like Erlik, this turns out to be a happy coincidence. | |

In the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Operation: Annihilate!", Kirk finds the body of his recently deceased brother — also played by William Shatner. It wasn't very visible in the original release, which is probably why they figured it would be workable, but it's incredibly apparent in the remastered version of the episode. | |

The manga exactly hasn't established how they're related yet since the Kenshiro from North Star was supposedly adopted… | |

Gloryhammer's hero Angus McFife from the first album, played by singer Thomas Winkler, is succeeded in the next two albums by his descendant Angus McFife XIII, played by Thomas Winkler. Then the trope seems to be averted with Angus McFife V in "Fly Away" when Winkler is replaced as both singer and McFife by Sozos Michael. But then Michael also appears as Angus McFife I in the video for "The Holy Flaming Hammer of Unholy Cosmic Frost" (before continuing as Angus McFife II for the rest of the album), meaning the first Angus has been performed by both Winkler and Michael, and the other Anguses all appear looking like either one or the other, so maybe story-wise, they all look the same after all. | |

In Cat's Eye, the Kisugi sisters looks a lot like their ancestors: Rui (the oldest) and Ai (the youngest) are nearly identical to their mother (especially Rui, whose only difference is a mole on the cheek), while Hitomi is almost identical to her paternal grandmother, differing only in her hair and eye colors. Hitomi is especially egregious, as she's half-Japanese half-German while her grandmother was a blonde-haired green-eyed German. | |

The Brady Bunch: In one episode, Florence Henderson and Robert Reed did dual roles as Mike and Carol, plus Mike's stodgy grandfather and Carol's hip grandmother. In a borderline case, Florence Henderson had a cameo as Carol's mother in The Movie. Another borderline case: Jan once found a picture of her great-aunt when the great-aunt was Jan's age, and it looked just like Jan (Eve Plumb in the Identical Great-Niece role). Jan wanted to meet the great-aunt to see what she (Jan) would look like when she grew up. The great-aunt was played by Imogene Cocoa. Jan was somewhat less than plussed. |

The DCU: Batman: Thomas Wayne looks exactly like his son, with the addition of a mustache. And sometimes not even that. Booster Gold: Gold's ancestor, Daniel Carter, has not only the same last name but appears nearly identical, despite them being over four hundred years of Carter generations apart. He even manages to have a nearly identical personality, despite all odds. Booster also encounters a First World War soldier who turns out to be Cyrus Lord, an ancestor of ex-JLI manager/sometime supervillain Maxwell Lord. Booster fails to appreciate this at first only because several weeks' beard growth and a bloody great bandage around his head disguise the fact that Cyrus is the spitting image of Max. Superman: Kal-El looks exactly like his biological father Jor-El, who looked as old as Superman is now when he died. The Kents: 19th century Smallville's Sheriff Nathaniel Kent looks exactly like Superman, despite Clark being adopted... and from another planet and species. The Krypton Chronicles: Superman and Supergirl research their family's history and discover that Kal-El is all but identical to their distant ancestor Erok-El, who lived ten millennia ago. Legion of Super-Heroes: In one issue, the descendants of modern-day Lex Luthor and Mr. Mxyzptlk look identical and have the same abilities as their ancestors, and are discriminated against by society because of what their ancestors did. The Legion and the stories surrounding it take place a thousand years in the future. Superboy 1949 #217 introduces Laurel Kent, Clark Kent and Lois Lane's 30th century descendant, which looks almost identical to her 20th century female ancestor. Superman's Return to Krypton: Superman goes back in time and attends his biological parents' wedding on Krypton. One of the attendants remarks on his resemblance to Jor-El's father (ergo, Superman's grandfather) Supergirl's Greatest Challenge: Whizzy looks so much like his very distant ancestor Streaky the Supercat that Supergirl initially mistakes him with Streaky. They even share the same fur color and distinctive yellow lightning bolt marks on their sides. Wonder Woman: Wonder Woman (1942): In the Golden Age, Wonder Woman's mother Hippolyta resembled her enough that she could disguise herself as her daughter pretty easily. This idea was abandoned in the Silver Age when Hyppolyta suddenly started getting colored as a blonde. But then brought back during the time where she was filling in for a missing Wonder Woman in Wonder Woman (1987). On a couple of occasions where Diana's WWII era adventures are considered canon along with more modern day ones, Etta Candy is the name of two identical friends of hers, one of whom was the original leader of the paramilitary group the Holliday Girls during WWII and the other her daughter or other descendant during the modern day. Steve Trevor is generally dealt with by having him become immortal or spending a bunch of time some variety of dead in the interim before the Olympians and Chthonians brought him back. |

In an episode of The Fairly OddParents!, 19th-century Dimmsdale is shown, with the ancestors of their inhabitants all looking like their descendants. The ancestor of Timmy Turner even has Cosmo and Wanda as his fairy godparents (given that they are immortal). It's implied in another episode, which takes place during the 16th century in the town that will be known as Dimmsdale. One of the inhabitants is a man named Alden Bitterroot, who looks exactly like Timmy's fairy-obsessed teacher, Denzel Crocker, implying that he is an ancestor of him. Alden even shares Crocker's personality, mannerisms, and obsession with the supernatural, but instead of fairies, he is obsessed with witches. An odd instance of this appears in the Breakin' Da Rules! PC game. One level has Timmy time-travel to the 1970s 1950s and have to avoid the younger-aged version of Vicky and Tootie's affectionate mother, Nicky. In-game dialogue from Timmy suggests that Nicky is supposed to resemble Tootie (which she, sure enough, does when she appears on the show)… but the graphics depict her as looking like De-aged Vicky from the "Switch Glitch" episode. There's also Channel Chasers, which shows Tommy Turner, who looks like his father with black hair (cluing the audience to believe Trixie or Tootie is his mother). The later episode "Timmy Turnip" has Timmy Turner's grandfather who looks like an older version of him, but with bigger, lighter blue eyes. Jorgen's grandmom Nana Boom Boom looks and sounds very much like him. One of the Oh Yeah! Cartoons shorts featured Vicky Khan, Vicky's ancestor who babysat Ghengis Khan. |

The Japanese version of Harvest Moon DS has this trope happening with every single familiar character in the game, practically falling under Generation Xerox as well. Every character has the near-same personalities and backstories to those of their Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life and Friends of Mineral Town ancestors, but don't have all the depressing, realistic backstories and plots that made their appearance in the games of A Wonderful Life so unique. They're happy-go-lucky, with little to no life problems. They also wear the same clothing and wedding clothing as their ancestors. (The bachelors and bachelorettes in A Wonderful Life and Another Wonderful Life don't wear wedding attire in-game but they have official art of the women in wedding dresses, which DS uses.) The only major difference? Their names, but even those tended to be blatant offshoots of the originals. This plot was almost completely dropped in the Western release, which attempted to treat hte games as connected by using the same names for everyone—but still had references to their ancestors, creating a Dub-Induced Plot Hole. | |

Reversed, but essentially the same: In a (frequently cut) scene from the final act of Angels in America, Prior meets the spirit of Louis' grandmother Sarah, whose funeral was one of the first scenes in the show. Kushner specifically states in the published script that Sarah is to be played by the actor who plays Louis, though obviously in some kind of costume and makeup. | |

In one of the more egregious examples of this trope, Lunar: Eternal Blue features a certain shopkeeper in Meribia named Ramus, who is a descendant of the original Ramus from Lunar: The Silver Star. The two of them look identical (right down to their girth), have the same name (it's apparently a family tradition now), run the exact same store (which looks almost completely unchanged from the first game) and even wear the exact same clothes and glasses. Did we mention that Eternal Blue is set over 1000 years after the events of the original game? A downplayed example would be Lemina, whom from the waist up looks like a Palette Swap of her ancestor Mia. | |

Partial example: In 2007's Beowulf, both Beowulf and his son, Wyrm, are played by the mighty Ray Winstone. Although they both look pretty different. To be fair his son did have gold skin and lacked the facial hair of his daddy. Otherwise, his physique is exactly what Beowulf's was like when he was younger (y'know, when he isn't all scaly and firebreathing). | |

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Joseph Joestar, in his youth, looks almost exactly like his grandfather Jonathan Joestar. Araki has commented that he gave Joseph a nearly identical design to his grandfather in order to ease the transition for his readers between Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency. However, their personalities couldn't be more different, as is noted in the series. This is subverted in the anime, however, where Jonathan was given an Adaptation Dye-Job from brown hair to blue, and Joseph, while keeping the brown hair, was drawn with very spiky bangs, to further tell him apart from his grandpa. Their faces, however, remain very similar. Also, although not identical, Jotaro Kujo resembles a lot Joseph Joestar, his grandfather, when he was young. Even more so in the manga. |

In Stargate: Continuum, Cameron Mitchell winds up interacting with his suspiciously familiar-looking grandfather. To the makeup department's credit, at least the grandfather was wearing some latex appliances so the two characters didn't look identical. Not only do they interact, but the photo in Mitchell's locker in the new reality also shows that the two were good friends. Wonder how many people commented that they look like brothers. | |

The ancestor that Forrest Gump was named after (KKK founder Nathan Bedford Forrest) is also played by Tom Hanks; Lieutenant Dan's ancestors are all played by Gary Sinise. Same goes for all of Bubba's maternal ancestors from the mid-19th century to his mother. However, it's likely that all of the scenes these ancestors appear in show just how Forrest imagines them, not how they really looked like. | |

Booster Gold: Gold's ancestor, Daniel Carter, has not only the same last name but appears nearly identical, despite them being over four hundred years of Carter generations apart. He even manages to have a nearly identical personality, despite all odds. Booster also encounters a First World War soldier who turns out to be Cyrus Lord, an ancestor of ex-JLI manager/sometime supervillain Maxwell Lord. Booster fails to appreciate this at first only because several weeks' beard growth and a bloody great bandage around his head disguise the fact that Cyrus is the spitting image of Max. | |

Super Sentai: In Choudenshi Bioman, a flashback shows the five Bioman's respective ancestors played by the same actors. Gosei Sentai Dairanger plays the more literal version of this trope in its final episode; the five Dairangers' actors play their grandchildren, the new Dairangers, and themselves in old age makeup 50 years into the future. An interesting case occurs in Ninja Sentai Kakuranger where we see the five Kakurangers' ancestors from 500 years in the past. Only Tsuruhime (Satomi Hirose) is played her actress, while the boys' ancestors are played by older actors. Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger episode 18 reveals that Banban Akaza / Deka Red (Ryuji Sainei) had an identical ancestor Bannoshin Akaza who taught the ways of the samurai to an alien 140 years prior. Funnily enough, the concept of a samurai encountering an alien was adapted into Power Rangers S.P.D., with Ryuji Sainei appearing through stock footage. In Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger, it turns out that Daigo Kiryu / Kyoryu Red / (Ryo Ryusei) had an identical ancestor (Moshinosuke Iwaizumi) in the Sengoku period some 500 years prior, and that Sixth Ranger Fish out of Temporal Water Utsusemimaru served under before his Lord was killed in action. V-Cinema movie, "100 Years After", this trope is played literally with the new Kyoryugers. Well, technically it's "Identical Great-Grandson/Daughter" (or Great Great Nephew, in Nobuta's case). |

Hurricanes: Stavros Garkos IV, who sent a robot 100 years back in time to change the results of a bet where Stavros Garkos lost everything other than his soccer team, looks like Stavros Garkos. The whole plot was All Just a Dream and there's no evidence that Stavros Garkos IV will even exist. | |

Vamps: Goody pretends she's her past self's daughter when old flame Danny (who knew her in the '60s) sees her again. Later, her female descendant (who Alicia Silverstone also plays) looks very much like her too, only with a different hair color/hairstyle. | |

All SpongeBob SquarePants episodes that have shown prehistoric ancestors of SpongeBob, Squidward and Patrick have depicted them as being practically identical to the modern day versions but with loincloths, unibrows and sharp teeth. Oddly, Mr. Krabs' distant ancestors were far smaller than their modern equivalents. The episode "The Great Patty Caper" ends with the reveal that it was a story told by an old SpongeBob to his grandson, who looks exactly like him but with a bolo tie and a red baseball cap. | |

Both played straight and averted in the Blackadder shows. Every series featured Rowan Atkinson as the various generations of Edmund Blackadder and Tony Robinson as his servant Baldrick. However, other actors, in particular Tim McInnery, Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie, and Miranda Richardson appeared in regular or guest roles in three or four of the series, but playing characters who were not necessarily related and sometimes had very different personalities. For example, McInnery played Lord Percy in the first two series but left because he considered the "Upper-Class Twit" character too limited - he reappeared in a guest role in the third series as an apparent Upper-Class Twit, but actually it's just an act, and returned as a regular in the fourth series with a completely different personality, while Hugh Laurie took over the Upper-Class Twit role in the third and fourth series. Melchett on the other hand is played by Stephen Fry in various incarnations which include being one of the only sane men in the second season to being an incompetent general in the fourth whose greatest strategy is to have his troops climb out of the trenches and walk very slowly toward the enemy. Then in Blackadder: Back and Forth his modern incarnation is fairly sane but we also see him as a crazy Roman general. In fact, in Blackadder: Back and Forth Blackadder even says that the time machine appears to be following their DNA through time. Lampshaded in the finale of the third series, when Blackadder and MacAdder are both played by Rowan Atkinson. Several characters note this. They also make it plain that they are played by the same actor, as they keep just missing each other. Also in one episode of season three, Vincent Hanna (a BBC reporter known for doing election coverage) actually guest starred as his own ancestor—who is reporting on the election through an open window to a crowd outside as one would on television. |

Doctor Who/Torchwood: Doctor Who companion Victoria Waterfield was said to be almost identical to her mother, although we only ever see a painting of her mother. The franchise hangs a lampshade on a You Look Familiar by explaining that Torchwood's Gwen Cooper (played by Eve Myles) is a distant relative of the Gwyneth (also played by Eve Myles) who appeared on Doctor Who in "The Unquiet Dead". The Doctor adds some timey-wimey explanation for why they look identical (the Doctor mentions the term "spatial-genetic multiplicity", which sounds a little like a Techno Babble way of saying "there's only so many ways human eyes, lips, noses, etc., can take shape, and sooner or later, they'll all recombine in the exact same configuration again, especially for people who have the same genetics in the first place."). The Doylist explanation for why she appears again is that Russell T Davies was enamoured with her performance. Word of God, however, is that Gwen and Gwyneth aren't necessarily related. The series hangs another lampshade on You Look Familiar when companion Martha Jones (played by Freema Agyeman) mentions her cousin (also played by Agyeman), who died in "Army of Ghosts". Jessica Hynes played Joan Redfern in "Human Nature"/"The Family of Blood" and her great-granddaughter Verity Newman in "The End of Time". Prior to being cast as the Twelfth Doctor, Peter Capaldi played Lobus Caecilius in "The Fires of Pompeii" and John Frobisher in Torchwood: Children of Earth. Multiple writers have hinted Frobisher is Caecilius' distant descendant; the Doctor's side of things is another trope entirely. In "A Christmas Carol", Kazran Sardick is played by Michael Gambon, as is his bullying father Eliot Sardick when the Doctor travels back to Kazran's childhood. In the same episode Bailey Pepper plays Abigail's nephew Benjamin in the past and Benjamin's unnamed son in the present. In "Listen", the Doctor and Clara encounter a stranded time traveller named Orson Pink, who looks identical to Clara's Love Interest Danny Pink and even has Danny's childhood toy passed down through the generations. The episode appears to imply that Orson is Danny and Clara's descendant, although given that both Danny and Clara die childless, Word of God later clarified that Orson is a lateral descendant, and the toy was given to that side of the family by Clara. |

Asterix: Asterix and the Class Act: Obelix's family tree consists entirely of "big-boned", red-mustached warriors. The modern-day Obelisc'h, whom the authors meet, even wears a blue-and-white striped jersey, reflecting his ancestor's stripey trousers. In Asterix and the Golden Sickle, however, Obelix has a cousin who is tiny, almost down to Asterix size, and appears rather frail. He still has the characteristic red hair, though. Asterix and the Actress introduces the pair's parents, with each father looking exactly like his son except for some wrinkles and white hair and the clothes. Their cloth patterns and colors (and, in Obelix' case, his trademark braids) come from their respective mothers. |

A Star Trek novel specifically states that Worf was named after his grandfather, who was killed onboard a transport that collided with a Cardassian freighter (the sheer improbability of two ships accidentally colliding in orbit indicates sabotage). So yes, Worf's grandfather didn't die a warrior's death but was merely collateral damage. | |

Baccano!: Huey Laforet appears to have the strongest genes ever, as his traits of being a gold-eyed, dark-haired, pale-skinned Pretty Boy extend even as far as his great-great-grandson Charon. Another one of the immortals (namely Szilard) has an identical many-greats grandson whom we meet in 2001. Claudia looks like a female version of her great-grandfather Claire… But she still inherited her great-great-grandfather Huey's golden eyes. Both Elmer and Aging note that Luchino, while not quite the clone of Huey that Chane, Liza, and Charon are, still has a noticeable resemblance to him. This would not seem so ridiculous if Luchino wasn't three hundred years removed from the man in question (an absurdity lampshaded by Luchino himself), proving once and for all that Huey has the most stubborn genes in the world. |

And in the Eighth Doctor Adventures book The Taint, Fitz's great-grandfather's Obliviously Evil twin is recognizably similar to Fitz himself: same long nose, straggly hair, and thin face and build. Fitz keeps finding him "infuriatingly familiar", quite possibly because he's looking at an older (but not that much, for some reason) version of the same face he shaves (or not) every morning. Also, unsettlingly, he has moments of acting like a Psychopathic Manchild version of Fitz. | |

Andromeda (a.k.a. "Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda"): The Nietzscheans as a race are descendants of humans from Earth, but their founder took his followers (about 8000 individuals, so not a particularly large group) into space, and later reduced their genetic variety by stripping out genes he considered "useless", such as predispositions for obesity, diabetes, haemophilia and various cancers. One of the core tenets of early Nietzschean philosophy was using eugenics (planned breeding) and genetic manipulation to create the "perfect ubermensch" (hence the name). Given that the original gene pool was so small, that Nietzscheans breed for a rather small number of traits, that Nietzcheans at the time of the series number in the trillions, and that there are only so many viable ways for genes to recombine, it is rare, but in no way unheard of, for Nietzscheans not obviously related to be born with identical genetic codes. The Nietzscheans call it "Genetic Reincarnation", and a particular plot revolves around the genetic reincarnation of the progenitor of their race. In-series, Genetic Reincarnation appears twice: Steve Bacic plays the Nietzschean Gaheris Rhade and his identical-looking direct descendant, Telemachus Rhade, who lives 300 years later, and the reincarnation of the progenitor Drago Museveni does show up at one point and is, in fact, Tyr's son. We only see him as a child, but he is dark-skinned compared to the original Drago Museveni, played by Lochlyn Munro. | |

Subversion: if Jimbo and Sully from Contra III: The Alien Wars looked way too much like Bill and Lance from the original arcade/NES Contra games, that's because they are Bill and Lance. In the Japanese continuity, the series always took place in the future, so there was never any need to change main characters, but in the original American continuity the earlier games were moved from the future to the present, forcing the name change for the main characters when the SNES installment kept the futuristic setting. | |

In Oracle of Ages, anyone who was actually surprised that Ralph is Queen Ambi's grandson clearly has never looked at the character art— they're both Significant Green Eyed Redheads with forked eyebrows and a penchant for the color blue. Gender, age, and clothing aside, the only visual difference between them is that Ambi has Tareme Eyes and Ralph has Tsurime Eyes. | |

The Evillious Chronicles has multiple examples that come up as plot points (or even not) —such as several of Duke Venomania's descendants sharing his appearance, to their misfortune, or the Marlon family having a lot of men with blue hair and similar haircuts. From a meta perspective, this is because most of the main characters in each arc are portrayed by the same Vocaloid as their ancestor in the last one. | |

In Julian Lennon's case, he even sounds like his father when singing. His half-brother Sean uncannily resembles their father in the 1970s with his long hair, beard and eyeglasses—which is really saying something given that Sean is also quite visibly half-Japanese (being John's son with Yoko Ono). When he made a splash with his own music in the 1980s, there was some momentary fan wishing that he could substitute for his father for the Beatles to reunite, but the alumni of that band shot that notion down instantly saying that was completely unfair to Julian. | |

Etra chan saw it!: Sometimes the parent and their child are portrayed by the same actor of their respective ages. In this episode, Karin and her aunt (also Karin) are identical to each other. It also serves as a plot point as Hiiragi is creepily obsessed with his sister before going after Karin as well, for having an identical appearance to her aunt. In one episode, Karin's sister is Yuri, their mother is also Yuri, and Yuri's twin daughters are also Yuri. |

Zelda herself lacks the strong tan and Odango-esque hairstyle of her great-great-grandmother (though they do look the same when dressed up). Link looks the same, although we don't exactly know if he's actually related to Wind Waker Link. In fact, a lot of characters in Spirit Tracks bear resemblance to their potential ancestors from Phantom Hourglass and Wind Waker. | |

The Legend of Korra: General Iroh is not only voiced by the same actor who played his grandfather Zuko in the beloved original series, but he is named after his great-great-uncle. Appearance-wise, he's much like an adult Zuko. The only major difference between the two of them (minus the scar) is that Iroh has a bit wider of a jaw. Katara is now well into old age and looks quite a lot like her own grandmother did. Jinora, Aang's granddaughter, looks quite a lot like her grandfather did when he was young. The difference isn't as obvious due to Jinora being a girl with a full head of hair, but it's still there. It becomes extremely obvious at the end of season 3, as she shaves her head and receives the airbending master's tattoos. She looks nearly identical to Aang in the ending shot. The biggest difference is that they have different eye colors, but their faces are very similar. Lin looks very similar to her grandmother, Poppy. |

Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna ~ The Golden Country introduces Hugo, the emperor of Mor Ardain at the time. During the base game, which takes place five hundred years later, the empire of Mor Ardain is shown to be lead by Niall, who's essentially just a mirrored version of his ancestor with a different outfit on, with the two even sharing the same voice actors. Subverted however as Hugo dies before siring an heir, meaning that while they share a common ancestor, Niall is not his direct descendant, leaving this a case of Uncanny Family Resemblance. | |

Lois & Clark: In one of the Time Travel episodes, a recurring villain called Tempus attempts to travel back in time to Smallville when Kal-El's rocket lands in order to kill him as a baby, but first overshoots by about a century, and ends up in the Wild West, where the town marshal and the saloon keeper are identical to Jonathan and Martha Kent, and are explicitly stated to be the Kent family's ancestors There was also a similar episode that dealt with reincarnation, therefore several characters in the past are identical to people Lois and Clark have met in the present, but these characters are not blood relatives, but look the same as they are past incarnations of the present characters, e.g. one of Lois' previous incarnations has the Kents' previous incarnations as biological parents. |

Ren Hojo from Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water is related to Dr. Kunihiko Asou through a branch family and so bares a strong resemblance to him as well. Said resemblance causes the spirits who had met Dr. Asou while they were alive to mistake Ren as Dr. Asou, treating him with kindness instead of murderous hostility that he would have received otherwise. For example, Ouse Kurosawa never attacks Ren due to his resemblance to Dr. Asou, as she fell in love with Dr. Asou upon their initial encounter while they were alive. | |

Shadow of Destiny is made of this trope. In every era, there are people who resemble the citizens in the other eras. In fact, the main character even lampshades this once. The game ends up subverting it once, however, in the biggest plot twist of the game. A character you spend most of the game assuming is your ancestor (though he doesn't exactly resemble you) turns out to be ''you''. | |

Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons: This started as soon as Harvest Moon 64; you were the grandson of the original protagonist from the first game, Harvest Moon. The availiable bachelorettes look extremely similar to the original ones, minus Karen who only has her grandmother's blonde hair in her bangs. The Japanese version of Harvest Moon DS has this trope happening with every single familiar character in the game, practically falling under Generation Xerox as well. Every character has the near-same personalities and backstories to those of their Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life and Friends of Mineral Town ancestors, but don't have all the depressing, realistic backstories and plots that made their appearance in the games of A Wonderful Life so unique. They're happy-go-lucky, with little to no life problems. They also wear the same clothing and wedding clothing as their ancestors. (The bachelors and bachelorettes in A Wonderful Life and Another Wonderful Life don't wear wedding attire in-game but they have official art of the women in wedding dresses, which DS uses.) The only major difference? Their names, but even those tended to be blatant offshoots of the originals. This plot was almost completely dropped in the Western release, which attempted to treat hte games as connected by using the same names for everyone—but still had references to their ancestors, creating a Dub-Induced Plot Hole. Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility combines this with the New Game Plus. Your child, regardless of who you married, can grow up to look exactly like you (or the opposite gender PC, depending on gender) and set off to start a farm on an island suspiciously identical to your own in every way, down to the inhabitants. |

A budgetary necessity in the original Myst; the three characters with speaking roles were all played by the game's directors, Rand and Robyn Miller. Rand played both Atrus and his villainous son, Achenar; for the latter, he took off his glasses, mussed up his hair and beard, changed costumes, and spoke in a higher-pitched borderline-Ax-Crazy voice (he gave Atrus a lower and more gravelly voice to increase the contrast). | |

A possible, though admittedly questionable, example comes in the form of a detective on Tim Minear's series Drive and Joss Whedon's series Firefly. On both series, there was a fugitive-pursuing character played by Richard Brooks. Both characters are named Jubal Early. This potentially counts as a case of identical ancestry, as Drive is set hundreds of years before Firefly, and because the shows are implied to take place in the same general 'verse. (A joke from a Drive script that didn't make it into production was that Amy Acker's character, Kathryn, had a cousin from Texas.) This is more likely because Nathan Fillion starred on both shows, and is a descendant of the real-life Jubal Early, a general of the Confederacy who fled to Canada after the American Civil War. |

Another example is Ophelia, who looks a lot like her paternal grandmother, Lissa. The resemblance is even greater should she have a blonde mother, and unlike with Caeldori, this can be done on either the Conquest or Revelation route. | |

Used repeatedly in Family Guy episodes referencing Peter's ancestors, usually named Real Famous Person's Name Griffin, all of whom look and sound exactly like Peter. Subverted in one notable exception where Peter discovers that one of his ancestors is actually black, though still looks and sound otherwise identical. In this flashback, Nate Griffin's (white) wife looks identical to Lois, even though Lois is actually descended from her sister. In a later episode, it is revealed that Peter's biological father is actually a man named Mickey McFinnigan, who looks very similar to Peter. This also means that the identical-looking Griffin ancestors were not actually related to him at all. At least not officially, there's nothing preventing one of them from stopping by Ireland… |

In the Forgotten Realms Sembia novels, there are two characters named Shamur Karn, great-aunt and great-neice, who look so similar that when the elder Shamur, aged 27, was sent forward in time fifty years to when the younger one had died at around the same age, the family decided to just have her take her great-niece's place. Nobody noticed, including her fiance (although it was an Arranged Marriage). | |

In Coco, Miguel's straight-parted and messy bangs, beauty mark, and dimple makes him resemble his great-great-grandfather. It's Foreshadowing that it's Héctor who is Miguel's true great-great-grandfather, not Ernesto, who has curled bangs and slicked back hair. This also is a subtle plot point - this was how Coco was able to remember Héctor all these years, because her great-grandson reminded her of her father. | |

Son Goten of Dragon Ball Z is a particularly egregious example. He's the second child of Goku and looks 'exactly' like him. This, in turn, makes him look like his parental grandfather, Bardock. It might be a Saiyan thing, since Vegeta said that "all Saiyans look similar", which could because of a small gene pool given that Saiyans at their peak only numbered in the thousands (and a Non-Serial Movie further posited that "low class" Saiyans like Goku were bred from similar genetic stock, and Goku gained an Identical Stranger named Turles). Vegeta looks nearly identical to his own father, sans beard. Dragon Ball GT takes it to a ridiculous level, with the future descendants of both Goku and Vegeta looking like exact copies of their great-great-etc. ancestors. Even though they'd be mostly human, and it was already established with Vegeta's son and daughter that human-Saiyan hybrids need not look Saiyan-like at all. Then again, his daughter looks exactly like her human mother. With that said, Goten's personality, as with Goku's are different to Bardock's. Similarly, Goku Jr. was very different from his namesake, at least at first. | |

In the movie Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country Colonel Worf, grandfather of Lieutenant Worf in Star Trek: The Next Generation, is played by Michael Dorn with a different forehead design. A Star Trek novel specifically states that Worf was named after his grandfather, who was killed onboard a transport that collided with a Cardassian freighter (the sheer improbability of two ships accidentally colliding in orbit indicates sabotage). So yes, Worf's grandfather didn't die a warrior's death but was merely collateral damage. |

Phantasy Star Zero manages to pull this one under the radar. Ogi and Nicolas both ask you if you're 200+ years old early in the game (which is outright preposterous unless you're a CAST). Later, you get a video from before the Great Blank that shows someone identical to you in the battle before the aforementioned catastrophe. The third instance crops up when you encounter Mother Trinity, who has a sudden realization just who you really are. This trope is played straight as a Photon arrow if you're playing as a Human—you're a descendant of the guy (or gal) who started the rebellion against her. If you're a Newman, she comes to the realization that she messed up big time—not only are you a clone of the one who united the Newmans against her but she cloned you herself! |

In the Star Trek: Voyager episode "11:59," Captain Janeway's 20th century ancestor Shannon O'Donnell, later Shannon Janeway, is played by Kate Mulgrew. What's hilarious is that Seven of Nine is puzzled by Janeway's interest in O'Donnell's life, pointing out that after so many generations Janeway only has a fraction of her DNA. Hah! Even more hilarious since humans share something like 99% of the same DNA, which means that Janeway's "fraction" of O'Donnell's DNA is much bigger than 7 seems to think. |

During their mission in Carentan, France, they are aided by American troops, headed by Captain Jack Zimmerman, who looks exactly like Will Zimmerman, Helen's second-in-command, and is played by the same actor. While Captain Zimmerman is killed at the end of the episode, it is implied that he is Will's grandfather. Interestingly, Helen makes no mention of this to Will, even though this could be one of the reasons she chose him to join the Sanctuary (i.e. his grandfather saved her life at the cost of his own). | |

The original three sisters in Charmed trace their ancestry back to their past lives—their great-grandmother and her two cousins. Piper's boyfriend Dan and future husband Leo also have past lives in that period, Dan's being the sisters' great-grandfather. Charmed explains the resemblance as "souls recognizing each other" implying that they may in fact have actually looked very different. (No such explanation was provided when the sisters time-traveled to the 1970s and happened to meet the father of one of the show's recurring characters, who was identical to his future adult son except for the obligatory afro.) Later in the series, the fourth sister Paige discovered she had a medieval past life and possible ancestor. The sisters once found an old video in which their mother looked exactly like Phoebe. Their mother would later appear on the show played by a different actress. Paige apparently has an uncanny resemblance to her great-aunt who was never seen. When Leo goes to a WWII veteran's reunion (he had fought and died in the war during his mortal life), he poses as his own fictional grandson to his former comrades. |

Sgt. Frog: After being zapped with Kululu's "Midlife Crisis" gun in Episode 9, preadolescent Aki is shown to look very similar to her son Fuyuki (but not close enough that Funimation's dub could resist lampshading it). A later episode involving time travel reveals that teenage Aki also looked a lot like her daughter Natsumi — except for the hair color and the glasses, of course. Fuyuki's son shown in a brief glimpse of the future at the end of the 6th season looks basically identical to Fuyuki's Bratty Half-Pint younger self. |

Assassin's Creed: In both Assassin's Creed and Assassin's Creed II, Altaïr and Ezio look exactly like the protagonist Desmond Miles. All three of them even have a perfectly identical scar on their mouth. It's justified in that the interface with which Desmond sees their memories, the Animus, is patching his face partially over theirs, for familiarity. This trope has become less pronounced as the series has gone on. In Revelations, Desmond looks little like Ezio, Altaïr or Altaïr's children. By Assassin's Creed III the similarities have almost entirely disappeared: there's a certain family resemblance but neither Connor nor Haytham Kenway look like Desmond. Edward Kenway from Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag doesn't resemble Desmond in any way. |

In The Hound of the Baskervilles, Jack Stapleton looks exactly like his ancestor, Hugo Baskerville, except without "the broad plumed hat, the curling love-locks, [and] the white lace collar." | |

Gosei Sentai Dairanger plays the more literal version of this trope in its final episode; the five Dairangers' actors play their grandchildren, the new Dairangers, and themselves in old age makeup 50 years into the future. | |

Choices: Stories You Play tends to reuse assets across books. One of the earliest examples is Zenobia and Olivia Nevrakis from The Crown & the Flame and The Royal Romance respectively. Many of the characters from the Interquel The Royal Masquerade resemble their ancestors in the former story and their descendants in the latter. | |

In Happy Heroes, Huo Haha's ancestor Xiao Haha is never explicitly stated to be his grandpa, but the two still resemble each other quite a bit (same head shape, purple robes and purple color schemes in general). One of the main differences between the two is that Xiao Haha has a Wizard Beard and Huo Haha has a Perma-Stubble. | |

Captain America: Sharon Carter looks identical to Peggy Carter, a hero of World War II and member of the French Resistance. Originally, the two were sisters but were retconned to be aunt and niece to ease timeline issues. Two stories feature The American Revolution hero Captain Stephen Rogers, who looks identical to his descendant. In the second story, he briefly wears a costume created by a British loyalist to satirize the American flag. Captain America: Hail Hydra! shows the history of Hydra from ancient Mesopotamia to the present day. The head of their immortality research is almost always a bald, bug-eyed man with a permanent Slasher Smile. Word of God is that this is the family line of Dr. Geist, the present-day holder of this position. |

Sunday in the Park with George has a double whammy: the actors who play painter Georges Seurat and his fictional mistress Dot in Act I play Georges and Dot's daughter Marie (in old lady makeup) and Marie's grandson George in Act II. The rest of the cast plays new roles, too, but that's more a matter of economy. | |

Superman's Return to Krypton: Superman goes back in time and attends his biological parents' wedding on Krypton. One of the attendants remarks on his resemblance to Jor-El's father (ergo, Superman's grandfather) | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation—an alternate timeline Tasha Yar and her half-Romulan daughter, Sela, are both played by Denise Crosby. Oddly enough, her sister Ishara Yar is not. | |
