This is when one creator or character is pushed out of the spotlight and another member of the team gets all the credit. Distinct from Lesser Star, where equal credit is given for unequal work. This trope is about equal work that results in unequal credit. Compare with Breakup Breakout. Compare Overshadowed by Awesome and Always Second Best, where the person in the spotlight really is better than the person in the shadows. |

The first luchador CMLL gave the MÃstico gimmick to became the undisputed top draw in not only the promotion but the entire nation, with strong arguments that he was the breakout star of the planet. That argument fell apart when his success in Latin America and Asia was followed up by the disastrous Sin Cara gimmick in WWE, which coincided with CMLL trying again by giving the MÃstico gimmick to Dragon Lee, who merely drew decent critical response and financial gain. The Dragon Lee gimmick in turn went to a rookie luchador who took everyone by surprise and became one of CMLL's foremost stars, leaving their first Dragon Lee stuck in two shadows. | |

Rapper Machine Gun Kelly, or MGK, was always been seen as a third-rate Eminem clone who has long been stuck in the shadows of other white rappers, like Macklemore, Mac Miller, G-Eazy, and, of course, Eminem himself. He only had one real hit, with “Bad Things�, and that was solely because Camila Cabello sang the chorus. His second hit “Rap Devil� got attention solely for being a diss track against Eminem, and he ended up shifting to rock music afterwards. He is also known nowadays for his relationships with model Sommer Ray and especially Megan Fox | |

Donkey Kong Country Diddy Kong from the original Donkey Kong Country. He can do everything Donkey Kong can do, with the exception of defeating a specific kind of enemy (Krusha), and is even far superior in some aspects such as running faster, swimming more precisely, and making long jumps better. You could beat the entire game playing as Diddy alone and probably have an easier time of it*And in fact, the GBA version's New Game Plus mode requires you to do just that.. However, canonically, he's Donkey Kong's "wannabe sidekick" and didn't get his chance to shine until the sequel Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, where he was in turn overshadowed by his newbie companion... Dixie Kong in Diddy's Kong Quest may be a little slower than her boyfriend, but other than that barely-noticeable detail, she surpasses him in every way. Not only is she a more precise jumper and swimmer, but she can also do the famous ponytail twirl, wherein she hovers to the ground slowly by using her long ponytail as a propeller. This game is a little fairer because it makes it crucial to play as either one character or the other at specific times, but it may also be worth mentioning that in her own game Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, she was not surpassed by Kiddy Kong. |

The Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies Road Runner cartoons have an incredibly blatant example. It's all about Wile E. Coyote and his ridiculous plans for catching and eating the bird. He probably gets three times as much screen time as the Road Runner in every cartoon. | |

An in-movie example occurs as a running gag in Monsters, Inc.. Whenever Mike appears in the media he is always covered up by something, like the barcode of a magazine or the company logo in a commercial, or in the prequel where his student ID photo cut off at his forehead. (Meanwhile, Sulley is always front and center.) Whenever this happens, Mike initially appears shocked but then talks excitedly about being in print/on TV/being a college student, never even noticing the unfortunate circumstances. | |

The best-known members of the Guerrero family are easily Eddie and Vickie. The only other member most people will be able to name is Chavo Jr. Unless you're in Mexico, where Gori, Mando, Héctor, and Chavo Sr. are also well known. Chavo Sr was fairly popular in the NWA territorial system, it's just that WWF systematically destroyed that. | |

Electronic producers like David Guetta, Calvin Harris, Avicii, and Zedd have largely averted this by being credited on all of their hits. Avicii in particular avoided high profile guest vocalists, to the point of not even crediting the vocalists he worked with. | |

A similar scenario happened with girl groups: American Fifth Harmony and British Little Mix have overshadowed all the other 2010s girl groups in their respective home countries. The less-popular of the two in each country is the only other one to really have a major following there. While both of them are easily bigger than anyone in the aforementioned "failure" group of males (at least in their home countries), but far below Bieber/1D levels, they're really not that far off from where 5SOS and Mendes are. | |

Kotetsu T. Kaburagi/Wild Tiger serves as an example in Tiger & Bunny's Show Within a Show, HeroTV. While they do about the same amount of work as a hero team, it's Barnaby Brooks Jr. that gets all the publicity, interviews, photoshoots, fans, and credit. This is taken to its logical conclusion in the thirteenth episode when Kotetsu pulls a Batman Gambit that allows Barnaby to take down Ouroboros terrorist Jake Martinez, and the public completely ignores his contribution to the fight. He's naturally a bit annoyed by this. | |

Ted DiBiase Jr.: Was initially labeled the breakout star of Legacy but instead Cody Rhodes would go on to become one of the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champions as well as one of the WWE's top heels for a time and would go on to even greater success in organizations like Ring of Honor and (especially) All Elite Wrestling. DiBiase, on the other hand, was relegated to WWE Superstars territory and basically retired in 2013 after choosing to not renew his contract. If Cody's shadow wasn't enough, there was an even bigger shadow hanging over him: his father. | |

In both the book and film versions of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, the story focuses less on Roger and more on the human detective, Eddie Valiant. In the book, Roger was Eddie's shifty client, and although he was pivotal to the story, the focus was clearly on Eddie and his investigations. In the movie, Roger gets the plot rolling, but after that, his job consists mostly of hanging around with Eddie and acting goofy. Even in his cartoons in-universe, Roger gets second billing behind Baby Herman, even though (like Wile E.) he gets the lion's share of the laughs. Never more blatant than when he saves Eddie's life (if only momentarily) at the Gag Factory, then drops right back down to "goofy" again without so much as a thank-you on Eddie's part - although his wife, Jessica, whom he also saved, at least gives him some of the respect he's desperately been trying to earn. | |

Tarzan Goto is considered one of the founding fathers of FMW but was simply unable to draw without Atsushi Onita's help, leading him to job in attempts to build credibility in younger wrestlers, giving them a chance to draw whenever Onita wasn't around. Goto would go on to run his own "Shin" FMW shows in an attempt to become a top draw himself. Even when Onita was gone from FMW Goto wound up in the shadow of Megumi Kudo, leading to Japan's first mixed tag team match when Goto brought his wife along to do something about it and Kudo brought in Riki Fuji to handle him. | |

Everyone who is familiar with Dungeons & Dragons (and many who aren't) knows who Gary Gygax is. You'd have to look harder to find someone familiar with Dave Arneson, despite him being more influential in creating the tabletop RPG (he was the one who had the idea in the first place and wrote the original rules set; Gygaxnote who was first and foremost a wargamer and never fully accepted role-playing as a form of game-play helped develop the rules, did most of the work necessary for publishing the game, and knew someone (Brian Blume) who could fund the venture). It seems to have gotten a bit better after Arneson's death, though and was never overly severe. Almost everyone who's actually knowledgeable about the game knows who he is even if he didn't have the same mainstream familiarity as Gygax, and he remains the second person credited in the Players Handbook. | |

Sleigh Bells has Derek E. Miller who plays all the instruments, produces the albums, writes the songs, and basically does all the heavy lifting, but is completely overshadowed by Alexis Krauss, who only sings. This is a bit odd since the band is well-known for the amazing instrumentation used to create all sorts of wild sounds. Given that a female lead singer of a band (especially a Ms. Fanservice) almost always overshadows the rest of the group unless there are other girls in it or there's a male that also sings, this is obvious. | |

In-universe example in Berserk: despite being instrumental in many battles throughout the hundred-year-war, most of the public do not know Guts' name, or indeed that of anyone in the Band of the Hawk outside their leader, Griffith. Everyone that meets him, friend or foe, is merely pulled along by his charisma and into the currents of his own mighty dream. This eventually causes Guts to leave the group entirely, as he feels he can never truly discover himself as long as he is within Griffith's shadow. This has catastrophic consequences as it's the catalyst for the series of events leading to the Eclipse and Griffith's transformation into Femto. | |

In-universe examples from Avatar: The Last Airbender: Despite being the eldest child and heir to the throne, Zuko is constantly overlooked by his father in favor of his obscenely talented younger sister, Azula. This becomes one of the main driving forces of his personality within the show. As the series enters Season 3, we discover through Character Development that Azula thinks she's stuck in Zuko's shadow when it comes to their mother's love. It's the driving force behind Azula's negative actions towards her brother and the reason why she has a mental breakdown in the end. |

Super Mario World has this example: if you beat the game as Luigi (in 2-player), the first three words of text are "Thank you Mario" while Luigi is still on the screen. | |

Banjo-Kazooie is a little weird about this. Ask anyone who the star is, and most will say it's Banjo, even though the titles of three out of five games also include his partner Kazooie. The second game, Banjo-Tooie, opts for a silly title pun instead of recognizing the second lead's name (it's even lampshaded by Kazooie herself at the end of the first game), and Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge has her name in it as well, although she isn't in it for the first few worlds. Indeed, in the first two games, Kazooie's the one doing the majority of attacking and acrobatics when the two are teamed up, with Banjo mostly just doing the walking around and (in the first game) the Claw Swipe and Roll (the second game replaced the Claw Swipe with a pecking attack by Kazooie and had Kazooie assist with the Roll). This holds true even in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate; many people refer to the fighter officially known as "Banjo & Kazooie" as "Banjo", even though more than half of the duo's moveset involves Kazooie (among other things, Kazooie provides the aerial jumps and dash for the duo, and she also is an active participant in all of their smash attacks and special moves). | |

After the Steiner Brothers split up in 1998, Scott became the genetic freak "Big Poppa Pump" while Rick has more or less faded into obscurity, which is ironic since Rick was more popular with the fans than Scott was prior to the split. | |

Luigi has incorporated this into his character. Initially a Palette Swap of Mario, even after he underwent Divergent Character Evolution he failed to get a starring role in anything except the Luigi's Mansion series and the poorly received Mario Is Missing!. The canon now portrays him to be just competent as his brother (albeit significantly more cowardly), but perpetually ignored for his contributions. In the Mario & Luigi games (especially Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, but somewhat less so later on), Luigi is often the victim of being a Forgettable Character and Accidental Misnaming. Super Mario World has this example: if you beat the game as Luigi (in 2-player), the first three words of text are "Thank you Mario" while Luigi is still on the screen. But come 2013, Nintendo is giving him some recognition, dubbing this year The Year of Luigi, specifically releasing 3 games (Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, New Super Luigi U, and Mario & Luigi: Dream Team) that give him A Day in the Limelight, putting Luigi-themed content in Animal Crossing New Leaf and StreetPass Mii Plaza, re-releasing his first 4 games (Mario Bros., Wrecking Crew, Super Mario Bros., and Super Mario Bros. 2) on the Wii U's Virtual Console, and making him playable from the get-go in Super Mario 3D World (previous 3D Mario games required you to unlock him after playing through as Mario). Luigi's enemy counterpart (Waluigi) has it even worse, he has never had his own solo game and indeed is rarely even a playable character outside of sports and party games. He also has never achieved a status higher than assist trophy in Super Smash Bros.. Compare that to Peach's own "Luigi", Daisy, who at least got in as an Echo Fighter despite being in the same boat. |

Pedro Morales is one of the biggest stars of his era and the first Latin American to win a "recognized" World title. Unfortunately, Bruno Sammartino was also in his era and Morales was never truly accepted as a worthy successor by the World Wrestling Federation fans. This wasn't such a big deal at the time, but as the WWF systematically destroyed every other territory it could, it retroactively made Pedro being in Bruno's shadow in one territory have more impact on his image. | |

Ever heard of Christian Friedrich Henrici (aka Picander, his pseudonym), the lyricist for Johann Sebastian Bach's cantatas? Chances are even those who are into Bach's music haven't heard of him. Picander (as he is known on The Other Wiki) wrote the lyrics for many of Bach's religious and secular cantatas, yet he is obscure to all but the most learned Bach scholars. Part of the reason why he is so unknown is that it is general practice to attribute a classical work to the one who has composed the music; hence, Picander is unknown while Bach is always in the spotlight. Bach also had composers create the melody line for each cantata movement; Bach would then create the actual music for the movement based on that melody. Such melody composers remain even more obscure than Picander. |

Lacuna Coil tried to avert the standard "female lead singer overshadows male backup band" stigma by pairing Cristina Scabbia with male singer Andrea Ferro. Unfortunately, that didn't stop the latter from ultimately languishing in the former's shadow. | |

Jermaine Jackson and Kelly Rowland both found success as solo artists following the dissolution of their respective groups only to be completely overshadowed by a fellow ex-bandmate. In fact, while Michael and Beyoncé are more recognized for their solo work than as part of a group, Jermaine and Rowland are famous in the exact opposite way. | |

An in-universe example in Courage the Cowardly Dog: part of the reason Eustace is such a mean person is that he was always mocked and belittled by his parents and his brother Horst, the latter being his parents' favorite and who they were always derisively comparing him to. Even after Horst died at some point, his abusive mother never let up and her first appearance in the series is pretty much entirely her making fun of him while doting on Courage, to Eustace's chagrin. This isn't a single-episode thing, either: it's a major part of Eustace's characterization and his relationship with Horst comes up several times over the series, including a flashback which shows Horst was just as mean as their parents, calling Eustace "Useless" instead when all he wanted to do was spend time with his brother. | |

Played for laughs and comically exaggerated by the Midnight Riders in Left 4 Dead 2. Riggs Donner, the bass player and keyboardist, was on the initial lineup of the group for a few years and one official album before getting run over by a truck (and was reportedly such a drunken mess that they had to get a roadie to play most of his parts). He was then replaced by "provisional temporary band member" Jake Thorne, who has remained with the group for twenty-four years, has writing credits on many of their songs, and wrote and performed their only number-one hit. And he still has to give half his paycheck with Riggs's widow, because he has some big shoes to fill. | |

Sonic the Hedgehog: This is kind of inevitable when you have an entire franchise named after the titlur character, but some of Sonic's most-well known supporting characters suffer from this problem. This is one of the biggest internal conflicts of Tails' character. Tails has always looked up to and admired Sonic as a mentor and parental figure, but this has resulted in the Hedgehog becoming his Living Emotional Crutch to an extent, and tends to struggle to act without Sonic's guidance. Despite being highly intelligent and skilled in his own right, Tails simply lacks the confidence and self-esteem to truly breakout on his own and is content just being the Kid Sidekick. This gets addressed with Sonic Frontiers where Tails expresses frustration with himself over this and sees himself as a burden to Sonic. Sonic reassures him that it's perfectly fine if he makes mistakes and doesn't see him as a burden at all and with his blessing, Tails resolves to become a hero in his own right and strike out on his own as a hero. To a lesser extent, Knuckles too. While he doesn't have anywhere near as much of a hang up about it as Tails, a large source of Sonic and Knuckles' rivalry is built on the fact that Knuckles is jealous of Sonic's lifestyle, being able to Walk the Earth and go where he pleases, whereas Knuckles is stuck guarding the Master Emerald on Angel Island all of the time. Also Knuckles is something of a Butt-Monkey at times whereas Sonic is Loved by All. |

Monty Python's Flying Circus: Ask most people to name all the members of Monty Python and you're bound to hear John Cleese first, then Eric Idle, Michael Palin, and maybe Terry Gilliam, but Graham Chapman and to a lesser extent Terry Jones are only known primarily by Python fans. There is a bit of historical irony here because John Cleese (who formed one of the writer teams with Graham Chapman) felt that he was doing all the work and Chapman was getting all the attention. | |

Andy Gibb had several hit singles in the US but was always an afterthought compared to his three older brothers Barry, Robin and Maurice, aka The Bee Gees. This affected him personally as it seemed to have left him being very insecure since he was mostly considered to just be "the baby brother of the Bee Gees". This probably played a part in him developing the drug addiction that led to his death aged just 30. | |

John Deacon of Queen is usually thought of as "the other one" compared to the more outgoing, Large Ham members of the band. Actually, in almost any other band he would have been Lead Bassist (Type A), but as it happened he worked with people who just wouldn't be outdone. Still, he penned several of their big hits, and contributed enormously to the songs he didn't write: Brian May says that after his retirement, Queen lacks a kind of magic that Deacon used to bring. | |

Once Upon a Time focuses just as much on both Emma and Regina's stories, with them both being presented as necessary for the other's story. However, most of the attention of fans is put on Regina's redemption arc rather then Emma's journey to be a hero. This is mainly because most found Regina's story to be more interesting. While Emma is still popular in the fandom, she remains overshadowed by Regina even to this day in the eyes of both the fans and general public. | |

As a singles wrestler, Kyle O'Reilly's Ring of Honor career has often been derisively compared to his former Tag Team partners Davey Richards and Adam Cole. As a Tag Team wrestler, however, he's found much more success with Bobby Fish as reDRagon than he ever did riding either of their coattails. In 2015, O'Reilly started to find more success as a singles wrestler only to be thwarted in every title match he earned by Adam Cole, who wanted to keep O'Reilly in his shadow. Kyle finally broke out after beating Cole, who was in his second reign as ROH Champion, at the 2016 Final Battle, finally starting his first singles title run...only for Cole to be given a rematch by New Japan's officials at Wrestle Kingdom 11 and win the belt back, becoming ROH's first three-time world champion, before ROH itself could even book O'Reilly any title matches. | |

Ric Flair has four children, the best known of which is his younger daughter, Charlotte. While not nearly as well known, his two sons David and Reid have their own notoriety: the former for his infamous flop of a career and memetic entrance video, the latter for dying tragically at the age of 25 and for his death being tastelessly referenced by WWE in a Paige/Charlotte angle. His older daughter, Megan, on the other hand, is virtually unknown, even being overshadowed by her husband Conrad Thompson, a well-known wrestling podcaster. | |

Modern-day fans of The Three Stooges tend to view Shemp in this manner (and the less said about Joe Besser the better), in comparison to the massively popular Curly. Ironically, back when the shorts were filmed, Shemp was the only Stooge who had a singles career but agreed to join the act after Curly got sick so Moe and Larry wouldn't be out on the street. | |

Over the Hedge: They're not exactly hated per se, but the Porcupine Family are easily the least popular characters of the movie, as compared to the main cast and Heather and Ozzie, they have the least about of relevance and point to be around. | |

A similar case to "Uptown Funk!" happened with "The Hanging Tree" by James Newton Howard featuring Jennifer Lawrence from The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1. Despite being the lead artist, Howard was completely overshadowed by Lawrence, to the point that even Billboard's articles on the song's chart run used titles such as "Jennifer Lawrence Debuts on Hot 100" and barely made Howard a footnote. Since Lawrence is an A-list celebrity actress and Howard is a movie composer almost completely unknown to the general public and not even as known to film fanatics as the likes of John Williams and Hans Zimmer, this was inevitable. | |

Luigi's enemy counterpart (Waluigi) has it even worse, he has never had his own solo game and indeed is rarely even a playable character outside of sports and party games. He also has never achieved a status higher than assist trophy in Super Smash Bros.. Compare that to Peach's own "Luigi", Daisy, who at least got in as an Echo Fighter despite being in the same boat. | |
