As described in Up the Line, by Robert Silverberg, in some versions of time travel, if the same person visits the same event more than once, duplicates of that person remain. For example, if our hypothetical time traveler goes to, say, JFK's assassination five times, somewhere in that crowd will be five instances of our time traveler. There's a good chance that the duplicates will interact with each other during the encounter. One common event is for a "later" duplicate to try to cause an "earlier" duplicate to do something (or prevent them from doing something) because they remember what will happen. Alternatively, directly interacting with each other poses great risks, so the "later" duplicate will try to abide by Never the Selves Shall Meet. In contrast to this trope, some works do have a "temporal exclusion principle" that prevents you from visiting a specific time more than once so time travel paradoxes can't occur; Only One Me Allowed Right Now. Distinct from My Future Self and Me in that it's not simply about different temporal versions of a person meeting each other, but multiple instances of time travel creating duplicates in the same time period. To be clear, in My Future Self and Me, past and future selves temporarily coexist in the same time, but the earlier versions must eventually become the later versions, so there will once again be only one version of the person after the whole thing. This trope eliminates that requirement, allowing for permanent duplicates to be created through time travel. Used as a gameplay element in some video games. |

Happens frequently in Magic 2.0, as time travel is as easy as teleportation to anyone with access to the file. In book 2, for example, it's established that two versions of Brit coexist in Atlantis: the one who built the city (Brit the Elder) and the one who has yet to go back in time and build the city (Brit the Younger). Neither is particularly fond of the other. Book 5 has multiple versions of characters interacting and also adding Brit the Much Elder (who lives in the 21st century) and is Miller and Murphy's boss. At one point, some of the characters are forced to fight their future selves. When asked why they're doing it, their future selves explain they're simply closing a Stable Time Loop, meaning they have to fight. By the time the fight is over, the younger versions are eager to pay themselves back for getting their asses kicked and are itching to close the loop themselves, while a version of Brit has made a video recording of the fight in order to spend the next several months rehearsing it with the guys in order to make sure they follow the script exactly. | |

Venom (Vol. 5): Eddie Brock accidentally creates a number of temporal duplicates of himself due to his status as a King in Black—including the bloodthirsty Bedlam (embodying Eddie's all-consuming rage when he first became Venom), and the callous and arrogant Meridius. When confronted by Eddie Brock, Bedlam, and Doctor Doom, Kang the Conqueror creates three temporal duplicates of himself—noted by Doom to be a common strategy of his—only to stand back and watch as one is eaten by Bedlam and another blown up by Doom. He then deactivates his third clone's force-field so he can be eaten by Bedlam, gloating that he now has three whole new Kang-less timelines to conquer. |

In The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror short "Bart & Homer's Excellent Adventure", Bart goes back to 1974 and ends up causing Homer and Marge to never get together and in-turn leads to Artie Ziff to be his father instead, and Bart actually enjoys this new life. Unfortunately for Bart, Homer from 1974 manages to hitch a ride in the time machine and ends up meeting the present-day Homer, and the two of them devise a plan to change history back. Their plan is to recruit Homers from all over the timestream to attack Artie and Bart... with all of them utterly failing and getting beaten up. | |

Because of the time-travel shenanigans involved in Mortal Kombat 11 as the result of Kronika messing with time, several characters meet up with their past selves. Whatever affects a character's past self affects their present self as well, which is used in a hilarious moment for Johnny Cage involving a bullet grazing the past self's cheek, as well as being used to finally kill off Sonya's nemesis, Kano, by means of a Moe Greene Special to his past self's non-cybernetic eye. | |

Harry Potter: After a failed attempt to rescue Buckbeak the hippogriff, Harry and Hermione end up running from Lupin, who's involuntarily transformed into an aggressive werewolf. As they're surrounded by Dementors, Harry briefly sees what he's certain is his father's ghost in the distance, summoning a Patronus to distract them. Then they use the Time-Turner to return an hour earlier, with Hermione insisting how important it is that they don't run into each other (until staying hidden to avoid a paradox becomes much less important than being found by a werewolf). As Harry keeps looking for his dad to save his past self (with three of the four Marauders present that evening, including one who was previously thought dead, it wasn't much of a stretch), it finally strikes him that he'd seen himself cast the Patronus, and does so. | |

Calvin and Hobbes: One arc that involves Calvin trying to get out of doing his homework has him use his time machine at 6:30 PM and jump two hours ahead (along with Hobbes) to pick up the finished paper. Naturally, 8:30 PM Calvin doesn't have anything because two hours prior he went to the future instead of writing it. 6:30 and 8:30 decide that it must be 7:30 Calvin's fault and go to him to demand the paper, but he weasels out of it by pointing out that any pain inflicted on him will be shared by 8:30 Calvin. 6:30 and 8:30 Calvin return to 8:30 to find that both their respective times' Hobbes have collaboratively written the paper (which, much to Calvin's horror, is about how silly the whole thing is, although he did get an A+). | |

Discworld Pyramids: In order to make sure the pyramid is built on time, the builders reluctantly use a form of time travel (pyramids mess up time around them, changing the speed, looping or even reversing time) by having multiple instances of workers on the same job. This being the Disc, the workers immediately recognize the potential of getting paid multiple times for the same job (another has problems when he sees himself with his wife and doesn't know if it counts as cheating or not). One of the characters in Thief of Time is a child of Time itself that was accidentally born twice due to the trauma of the birth. The two ended up living very different lives from each other before crossing paths in adulthood. |

In Homestuck, all Time players are expected to do this to bootstrap their group's session, averting Unintentionally Unwinnable scenarios only to be fated to die once they avert their branching timeline. Dave's time travel always results in multiple copies of himself from different points in time in the same location, who take care to coordinate with each other so that they don't accidentally break the Stable Time Loop. They work together to accomplish takes varying from teaming up to fight a foe too strong to beat alone to cheating the stock market. Aradia, in her robot body, exploits her time powers to summon an endless army of temporal copies to use both as missiles against her session's Final Boss and to suppress his acquired psychic powers that would have instantly wiped out all but one of her party. | |

Mention is made of this in The Odds Were Never In My Favour with the Exchequer's early experiments with time turners. Unfortunately, due to a lack of safety precautions, having two of the same person at the same moment in time drove both of them mad, and they started using the time turners to make more and more of themselves, all of them insane and rampaging. It took considerable effort to put all of the rampaging Pawn down, and nowadays they have more failsafes in their time machines, including a hard limit on how many times one can go back to a specific moment. | |

The Battle Royale mode of Fortnite has each match justified in lore as the entire island being subject to a "Groundhog Day" Loop. When a character manages to escape, the loop still repeats with a copy of them known "Snapshots". More snapshots are created each time a character enters and leaves, justifying multiples players being the same character like Jonesy or his variants running around. During the crossover with Marvel Comics, Iron Man managed to access and modify this property to mass produce a fleet of weaponized Battle Buses. | |

In one early Doraemon chapter, Nobita tricked Doraemon into doing his homework. Doraemon then got the idea to use the time machine ask four of his future selves so he can finish it five times as fast. Unfortunately, since for the most part the series runs on Stable Time Loop, this basically means he's doing the homework for five times. The final future self snapped. | |

Gunnerkrigg Court: This seems to have happened to Antimony Carver due to Loup messing with space and time to speak with her. Afterwards, Annie returned to the Court to find that not only have several months passed, but there's another Annie who has been there that whole time. They were stuck with two different Annies for a while, before Zimmy (somehow) merged them back together, with both sets of memories. In chapter "The Thousand Eyes", it is revealed the mysterious robotic birds (several of which saved Annie back in chapter 8), are all the same bird, sent through time. |

On The Flash (2014), this concept is referred to as "time remnants", where the duplicate is considered the remnant of a previous aborted timeline which was preserved by the Speed Force. This is practically Zoom's Signature Move, where he abuses time remnants in order to be in two places at once to manipulate or even mess with his enemies. Eobard Thawne is known to utilize this trick too. In "Aruba" he summons an army of time remnants to battle the Legends. Later in "Legacy", he creates one extra time remnant to battle both the Flash and XS simultaneously, although this one may be Thawne's own signature move - appearing in two places at the same time by moving really fast, since they end up merging at the end. Barry Allen learns this technique from Zoom and uses it to perform a Heroic Sacrifice to destroy Zoom's Doomsday Device. It later comes to bite him hard when in a Bad Future, Barry gets driven to the Despair Event Horizon and creates an army of time remnants to battle Savitar after he killed Iris, only for Savitar to kill every time remnant but one which ended up becoming Savitar himself. |

EDENS ZERO features a Spacetime Eater called the Chronophage that eats the time of planets, causing those planets' histories to regress up to thousands of years into the past, which effectively creates a duplicate of everyone and everything that was on that planet at that time but not when the Chronophage showed up. In the case of planet Norma, which regressed by 50 years, two versions of Weisz Steiner that are able to co-exist: the older present-day version, and a younger version from 50 years ago. | |

Red vs. Blue had Church utilize this at one point, leading to a whole army of identical Churches (and an absurdly yellow Church) trying to save his group and finding all of his plans backfiring on him. Later in the fifth season, Wyoming's use of his own time-loop powers ends up creating an army of himself that he uses to fight the Blues with. | |

Played for laughs in a CollegeHumor sketch that spoofs Back to the Future. Marty travels back to the past to make sure his parents hook up, but he accidentally sleeps with his mother instead. Doc Brown sends him back in time to stop this, but he ends up having a threeway with his mother AND himself. This escalates until the picture that originally showed Marty's parents now shows his mother and a whole crowd of Martys. | |

As Back to the Future Part III reveals, there was a point in 1955 that four versions of the same DeLorean time machine existed in Hill Valley at once. The first movie's DeLorean, the one Old Biff briefly stole, the one Doc and Marty used to stop him (due to travelling to a point where Old Biff was in the past) and finally the oldest version, which Doc hid after being stranded in 1885 so Marty and 1955!Doc could fix it up and use it to get Marty home. | |

Later in Dragon Ball Super, the present Trunks gets to meet Future Trunks. Three versions of Zamasu also coexist, the present-day version who Beerus went back in time to kill before he killed Gowasu, the version from Future Trunks's timeline, and the version from the original timeline who did kill Gowasu and became Goku Black. After the future timeline is erased, Future Trunks and Future Mai traveled to an earlier point in the future timeline before Goku Black showed up to create a new future timeline to live in, even though this means there will be another Trunks and Mai aleady living in that timeline. | |

Pyramids: In order to make sure the pyramid is built on time, the builders reluctantly use a form of time travel (pyramids mess up time around them, changing the speed, looping or even reversing time) by having multiple instances of workers on the same job. This being the Disc, the workers immediately recognize the potential of getting paid multiple times for the same job (another has problems when he sees himself with his wife and doesn't know if it counts as cheating or not). | |

Futurama: The Why of Fry: After sealing the Brainspawn in an alternate universe, Fry is given the opportunity to go back to 1999 and stop himself being frozen. He ends up underneath the table the original Fry was leaning against. He ends up pushing himself off balance to be frozen in the first place, before telling Nibbler that "Scooty Puff Jr sucks!" so he doesn't get stuck in the Infosphere again. Bender's Big Score: Whenever the Time Code is used to change someone's personal history, the past version becomes a time paradox duplicate with a new, separate timeline from the original. Due to Equivalent Exchange, that duplicate is always doomed to die. Bender exploits this to create a copy of himself to go after Fry while he's busy using the bathroom, and due to using The Slow Path there are hundreds of Benders in the limestone cavern that end up causing a tear in the fabric of the universe when he brings them up at once instead of when they're supposed to be. Leela's new boyfriend, Lars Fillmore, is revealed to be a time duplicate of Fry from when he time travelled to when he got frozen, leading him to spend 12 years there while the original Fry falls into the same cryogenic tube he fell in during the pilot. This also means for almost a thousand years, there were three Frys frozen in the same facility. |

Chrono Trigger: It's possible to leave Robo in the Middle Ages to tend to a forest and get him back in the present (that is, 400 years later). Going back to the Middle Ages results in seeing Robo tending to the forest but not interacting with you (even if you bring his future self to his past self). In the DS remake's Lost Sanctum side-quest, the player needs to combine two crystals to create a new one. Since only one of the crystals exists in the entire world, the heroes have to travel to the future, retrieve the crystal, then bring it to the past to combine it with the original. The Lost Sanctum inhabitants even voice their surprise that you somehow found a second crystal. Possible for the player to accomplish with a few of the "black box" treasures found throughout the game. After empowering Marle's pendant with the Mammon Machine, these can be opened. As there are several locales that can be visited in multiple time periods with these boxes, Crono and crew can open these boxes in later time periods, then travel to earlier periods to grab the same treasure again. |

In the Lloyd in Space episode "Day One", Lloyd uses Douglas' experimental time machine to go back into the past and prevent the incident in grade school that had him deemed a dork for years to come, manages to succeed and returns to a seemingly more successful present, but finds that being one of the popular kids is not all it's cracked up to be. After returning to the past again to stop himself from doing so, both Lloyds return to the present, only for an old Douglas to come back from the future and erase the first Lloyd that changed the future from existence before leaving. | |

Doctor Who: The Doctor has used his TARDIS several times to join forces with himself in order to handle a problem that only one of him couldn't handle. He seemed to be limited to only one of him of each "regeneration", though, so this may count as playing with the trope as each regeneration has an altered personality and appearance. "Father's Day" has Rose ask the Doctor to take them back in time to when her dad got hit by a car so she can be at his side when he dies. But she bottles out after seeing her dad get hit and runs away from the scene. So she asks the Doctor to take her back to the moment again. The Doctor does so, and Rose and the Doctor see themselves from when they traveled the first time. Then Rose creates a Temporal Paradox by saving her dad in front of her and the Doctor's past selves... A couple of stories establish the "Blinovitch Limitation Effect", which means that bad things happen if different temporal versions of the same individual make physical contact. See especially "Mawdryn Undead" and "Father's Day". This doesn't seem to apply to different regenerations of the same Time Lord. Jack Harkness post-Series 1 took The Slow Path from 1869 to meet up with the chronologically correct version of the Doctor, and in the Torchwood episode "Exit Wounds" where he's buried from the 1st century to the start of the 20th century before being frozen in Torchwood until his present. As such, "The Empty Child", "The Doctor Dances" and "Boom Town" have three versions of Jack Harkness present. It's even more evident in "Boom Town", where they are all located in Cardiff, with the second Jack putting Torchwood on lockdown to avoid a paradox. |

Sealab 2021: In "Lost in Time", Quinn and Stormy get blown fifteen minutes into the past by a freak accident that destroys Sealab. When they try to warn Captain Murphy, they're accused of being "doppelgangers" and locked in the brig. Every time they go through the loop and try to stop the accident, more and more Quinns and Stormies start filling up the brig, including some weird-looking alternate versions caused by temporal anomalies. Finally, Stormy uses the two-way radio in his watch to warn the original Stormy and Quinn. How does Murphy deal with all the clones? He has them fight to the death for his amusement, of course! | |

In the Family Guy episode "Back to the Pilot", Stewie and Brian do some time travel to find the location of an old tennis ball that Brian buried ten years ago. Despite Stewie's best efforts to leave the past untouched, he ends up interacting with his past self from the original pilot "Death Has a Shadow", and Brian is no different, having intentionally interacted with his past self and given him information from the future to prevent 9/11, which has a huge Butterfly of Doom consequence. It only gets worse when Stewie's attempts to prevent Brian from telling of any future events eventually leads to multiple Stewies and Brians coming in from the "further, further future", all declaring they had Bad Futures. Soon, there is a large crowd of Stewies and Brians arguing it out over what to do, multiple duos having been subject to different temporal anomalies (such as one Stewie having boobs), and one duo being accompanied by their Peter. After one of the Stewies decides to hold a vote and most of the crowd agrees to let 9/11 happen, this Stewie decides to pull a case of "The Story That Never Was" and go back in time to prevent the first Stewie and Brian from ever causing damage to the past, thereby erasing the entire Alternate Timeline mess. | |

After a present-day version of him was born, the future version returned to help in the fight against the androids and Cell. From then on, Future Trunks's timeline coexists with the main timeline, so there are two Trunkses. Later in Dragon Ball Super, the present Trunks gets to meet Future Trunks. Three versions of Zamasu also coexist, the present-day version who Beerus went back in time to kill before he killed Gowasu, the version from Future Trunks's timeline, and the version from the original timeline who did kill Gowasu and became Goku Black.
