Spy Versus Spy	comment	If you are looking for the comic strip, see Spy vs. Spy Perhaps inspired by the use of SPECTRE as the villain in the James Bond movies rather than the communist villains of the books, a popular trope in spy films is to have two opposing organizations of agents who have a tenuous connection to a government if any. Typically, this is played for humor, and oddly, while some of the evil organizations are supposed to have quite horrible ideologies, their membership is generally depicted as being of a Punch-Clock Villain nature.

ACME is basically a Brand X version of Interpol and V.I.L.E. pretty much just exists to be evil. Or to feed Carmen's ego, Depending on the Writer. They aren't exactly spy organizations, but the series borrows tropes from the spy genre enough that it really doesn't matter.

Spy Versus Spy / int_86c3beca	comment	Girl Genius while the Smoke Knights are connected to the Knights of Jove conspiracy the conspiracy itself is incredibly fractured so they end up on opposing sides and fighting each other with alarming frequency. There's also the group of rogue Smoke Knights that are loyal to the Other, all other Smoke Knights will drop their current missions and join forces together to take them out if they happen to run into one. This is handy when Violetta realizes there's one in the Corbettite crypts when her lady Agatha's group is being followed by two other Smoke Knights as it allows all three of them to team up when previously they were all on opposing sides.

Their situation is explicitly compared to two spies in the middle of nowhere who've been essentially forgotten by their respective governments.

Spy Versus Spy / int_c0d295c4	comment	Team Fortress 2 uses this basic framing device (with the heroically-evil RED and evilly-heroic BLU) to provide the deliberately flimsy rationale for the game. Additionally, as Spies are one of the selectable classes, it literally becomes Spy vs. Spy in some cases. Two Spies can become an extreme game of I Know You Know I Know, as when a Spy disguises as an opposing Spy, the Spy disguise is also wearing a paper mask of another class, indicating to the enemy team that this is a friendly Spy disguised as the class on their mask. Two Spies disguised as enemy Spies would both see a friendly Spy disguised as an enemy of another class, which is randomly determined and not shown to the Spy actually WEARING the disguise.
