Mad Scientists, being the rampant egotists that they are, tend to clone themselves when they want children. Inevitably the children in question are as brilliant as their parent, though there seems to be only about a 50% chance of their brilliance being of the same sort. The clone's childhood, if portrayed at all, is frequently awful as they're forced to live up to their parent's seemingly-impossible expectations. Often, there's some attempt to subject them to the same childhood traumas as their parent had, in order to further force them on an identical path. This applies particularly to mad scientists of the Evilutionary variety, and appears to be a primarily literary trope, probably because of the difficulty in finding plausible-looking pairs of actors. Some animals are able to reproduce without mating in which case the offspring receive all their genetic material from the mother, either as a perfect clone or by simply doubling the DNA of an unfertilized egg. In animals with WZ chromosomes, females have the chromosomes WZ and males ZZ, which allows a female to create both female and male offspring by herself. In humans, which have XY chromosomes, an artificial clone of a female person could only be female, while the clone of a male could be either male (XY) or female (XX) by switching the Y chromosome for a copy of the X chromosome. Compare Replacement Goldfish, Screw Yourself, and Homosexual Reproduction. Not related to traditional single parenthood, wherein two people were involved in the child's creation at some point. Overlaps with Mystical Pregnancy if the conception is supernatural rather than scientific. Compare Our Clones Are Different, as the child is likely to be this; even in Real Life, at least two donors tend to contribute their cells to cloning. Inverse trope to Extra Parent Conception. |

Adventure Time: This is a more ambiguous example, because of the moral differences of the writers and the disagreements between them, but Princess Bubblegum is thought of as being this. According to Jesse Moynihan, Princess Bubblegum is Lemongrab's mom, although only in the sense that she made him and gave him life. He may share some of her DNA, according to Jesse, but most of the other writers on the show don't view the princess as being a mother to her experiments. This is supported by the fact that she doesn't act like a parent at all. One episode had her use some of her own DNA to create Goliad and use Finn's DNA to create Stormo, who Finn refers to as his son. |

In Wonder Woman (1987), all the Amazons are female victims of male murderers who were crafted new bodies out of clay and granted new lives with their original memories intact. Since Diana was killed in the womb she was made an infant and given a chance to grow up and was the only child on the island. She was later granted her more marvelous abilities after proving herself by stopping Ares from starting World War III. | |

Imperial Radch: Fosyf Denche's daughter is actually her clone. This isn't unusual in and of itself in the Radchaai Galactic Superpower, but in Fosyf's specific case, it's a sign of her Narcissism and an avenue of Domestic Abuse, since she frequently reminds the daughter that she can be disowned and replaced as heir at Fosyf's whim. | |

The Ranma ½ fanfic trilogy Spirit Walk, Martial Arts Motherhood Challenge and Martial Arts Family Vacation Challenge by glainfach has Ranma enter a spirit realm and discover that faceless spirits attach themselves to live humans, waiting to be born as that person's children. He also discovers that one such spirit has attached itself to him, and vows to ensure the child's birth one day. He does so by locking himself in female form and having herself artificially inseminated with her male side's genetic material, making it so Ranma is simultaneously the child's father and mother. | |

In Bleach, Nemu is the artificially-created vice-captain of Kurotsuchi Mayuri. It's implied that she's an Opposite-Sex Clone of Mayuri, to the point where she shares all of his likes and dislikes. While how much free will she has is debatable, given that she's clearly nicer than him she obviously has at least some. | |

As she was originally envisioned, Diana was just another Amazon, born through natural means. Her father was inconsequential and presumably long dead since he couldn't attain immortality on Paradise Island and he was never named, this has lead to theories that Hercules is her father since he's the only man Polly is known to have slept with across all versions. Her clay-crafted birth was first introduced in Wonder Woman (1942) a year after her debut. | |

Fire Emblem: In Fire Emblem Fates, the Hidden Truths DLC reveals a case of this. Dragon Anankos gave his Madness a human form, which became the Dragon girl Lilith. He then used her as a pawn in his plans, knowing that she loved her "father" and badly wanted his approval. Then Anankos's kindly Human Side reached out to her and then died in a Heroic Sacrifice for her, causing Lilith to have a Heel–Face Turn and devote herself to the Avatar - aka Human Anankos' normally conceived child. Implied in the case of the Goddess (aka Sothis) in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. There's no mention of her ever having a mate or a husband, and her children the Children of the Goddess are said to have been born from her blood, implying something magical rather than a physical pregnancy. |

Honor Harrington: This has been mentioned as having happened. There are even laws in place stating that a clone is legally the child of the tissue donor and can legally inherit from them — so long as the cloning was authorized by the donor or the donor's estate. That caveat is to prevent cases where someone clones a rich man, kills the rich man, and then has the clone claim his "father's" fortune on behalf of his creator. | |

The orcs of Orc Stain are an all-male One-Gender Race who reproduce this way; an orc's testes are actually symbiotic, flying, independently alive plant-seeds called "Jazzum Spores". At the age of five, assuming an orc manages to avoid getting his penis chopped off first — orcs use petrified slices of orc "gronches" as their Weird Currency — an orc will wander into the wilderness and painfully ejaculate out one of his Jazzum Spores. It will fly away and bury itself into the ground, growing into an enormous vegetative womb that will ultimately spill out an average of twenty-five teenage orcs, ready to start the cycle over again. | |

Wonder Woman was created this way (except in the New 52, which retconned her into Zeus's daughter; this was subsequently retconned back): Hippolyta, Queen of the immortal Amazons, was desperate for a child despite their society having no men. She crafted a baby out of clay and prayed to the gods to give it life, and the result was baby Diana. This idea has been tweaked throughout the years: As she was originally envisioned, Diana was just another Amazon, born through natural means. Her father was inconsequential and presumably long dead since he couldn't attain immortality on Paradise Island and he was never named, this has lead to theories that Hercules is her father since he's the only man Polly is known to have slept with across all versions. Her clay-crafted birth was first introduced in Wonder Woman (1942) a year after her debut. In the Silver Age, Diana and Nubia were crafted from clay by Hippolyta and brought to life by the Greek gods. In Wonder Woman (1987), all the Amazons are female victims of male murderers who were crafted new bodies out of clay and granted new lives with their original memories intact. Since Diana was killed in the womb she was made an infant and given a chance to grow up and was the only child on the island. She was later granted her more marvelous abilities after proving herself by stopping Ares from starting World War III. Despite maintaining both of their names which both reference their father Hermes, Wonder Woman (Rebirth) depicts Atlantiades/Hermaphroditus as the child of Aphrodite alone. As a mater of fact they mostly go by Atlantiades, a name which is entirely a reference to Hermes and Hermes' ancestry. In the Elseworld tale Wonder Woman: Warbringer, Hippolyta formed Diana from clay and then Diana was brought to life by the Amazon's patron goddesses. In The Legend of Wonder Woman (2016), all of the Amazons besides the founders were born when their mothers where granted pregnancies by the gods with no men or sexual intercourse involved since this version of the Amazons are not immortal and would otherwise die out. |

Ryoko in Tenchi Muyo! (OVAs only) is not really a clone since she was partly created from one of Washuu's egg cells and partly from the Mass (a shapeshifting Hive Mind), but is pretty close to the trope, and considered a daughter by Washuu. At one point when Washuu is describing Ryoko's origins the other girls suggest that the Mass is her "father" Ryoko angrily rejects the idea. Her childhood was terrible, but mostly because she was enslaved by the villain (who also kept Washu as a Human Popsicle). Notably, while Washuu is the greatest scientific genius in the universe, Ryoko isn't. Though this might just be a result of Ryouko's complete lack of any kind of education. After all, Kagato was busy with his own Mad Scientist activities and couldn't devote his attention to direct Mind Control of Ryoko 100% of the time. And the last thing he wanted was for her to learn enough that she might figure out how to remove or deactivate the devices he'd installed in her. There's a deeply tragic side to it, however; Washu was once Happily Married and had a son the natural way. The man was a noble who was summoned to his homeworld for an arranged marriage - and his government took the kid as well. And forced the man to call the trophy wife the kid's mother. Said kid grew up to be Mihoshi's great-grandfather. Ryoko's conception (along with her Combo Platter Powers) was an attempt to avoid that happening a second time... which failed miserably when a nascent supervillain noticed all the bells and whistles the kid had, charmed his way into Washu's lab, stuffed the mother in a cryotube and turned the kid into a superweapon. |

Crest of the Stars: The Abh, though they are aloof, arrogant and imperialistic, are not as much evil, as they are odd by the standards of most of the Galaxy, including even their own subjects. One of their oddities is that all their babies are essentially custom-made for the person who just happened to want to reproduce. As they generally do not practice marriage, this makes that person a Truly Single Parent for the said child. With the Abh its actually a bit all over the place. While some are a Truly Single Parent others are more complicated with a wide variety of options, including, but not limited to Homosexual Reproduction. The most cherished are the Children of Love who are born from a combination of genes from two people who are in love with each other, even if only one is legally recognised as the parent. |

Dr. Alison Mann (no relation to Y: The Last Man, but eventually a close friend), when she hears rumors of one Dr. Matsumori's cloning breakthroughs, decides to use her own DNA and uterus to beat him to the goal of a viable cloned infant. It did not end well probably due to an agent of Dr. Matsumori slipping an abortificant into her dinner as she neared term. Later, she discovers that Dr. Matsumori had in fact used the same genetic progenitor for his project in an effort to have a second chance at raising the daughter he so estranged from that she renamed herself after Mann's Chinese Theater to irritate him. He succeeds, eight times over, before his death four years after the Gendercide. In the Distant Finale we see the cloned Manns (or 'Dr. Men' as Yorick quips) working in the lab. Yorrick notes, "They all talk with their hands, just like her," but says they will never be as good as the original because they don't have Allison's 'a**hole father' to spur them to greater efforts. | |

Asexual reproduction is the norm for dragons in Final Fantasy XIV, which are actually alien refugees from a dying world; indeed, all the dragons on the planet are the descendants of a single clutch, which their father Midgardsormr carried with him through space looking for a safe world to hatch them on. They are known to take mates, but purely for the sake of companionship, and their gender identities are a matter of personal preference rather than any biological distinction. Baby dragons grow and change their forms in accordance with environmental pressures, so it would seem that mixing genetic material is irrelevant to species diversity. | |

In Homestuck, John is ultimately the "biological parent" (or at least the midwife—shit be truly weird) of all the B1- and B2-universe players, through the ectobiology and time shenanigans of SBURB. Among the troll players, the parent-equivalent is... Karkat. Which not only reflects their role as the above human's foil/counterpart, it's also a nifty reference to their sign's mythological role in the Western Zodiac. It also glitched the A-1 session pretty badly. |

The novelization of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars movie makes it clear that Rotta is Jabba's son — and his alone: Hutts are hermaphrodites. Jabba's father was named Zorba, and likely was the same deal. However, this aspect only applies in the Legends continuity, as Hutts are a two-gendered species and reproduce heterosexually in the rebooted canon. | |

Soul Eater: Death the Kid is eventually specified to be a fragment Shinigami's soul given independent existence. In fact, so is Asura. The first, Asura, was supposed to rid his father of fear, and instead simply grew into an anthropomorphic personification of fear that — by the time of the series — cannot be reasoned with and despises his creator. Kid was created some centuries afterward in order to replace Shinigami, the idea being that he could eventually counter his 'big brother's' influence if/when he was freed. Reader often speculate Crona is an Artificial Human their mother created, given Medusa is a Mad Scientist who uses them as an test subject. The author stated otherwise, confirming Crona has a father, even if he's no one but "an anonymous man". |

Marvel Universe: Baron von Blitzschlag sort of does this in Avengers: The Initiative; having been given the job of cloning a superpowered deceased trainee, he decides to include some of his own DNA in the process to carry on his legacy. It doesn't go all that well, as two of them die and the remaining one (not too surprisingly) rejects his ex-Nazi supervillain "father". At one point, Galactus was revealed to have a daughter, Galacta, which led to some rife speculation about who her mom was. Turns out it was also Galactus. It also turns out that the "parasite" that's been bugging Galacta... isn't a parasite. Not even close. And since she was born this way... Wolverine initially appeared to be this to X-23, but it was later revealed that the scientist who created her mixed in some of her own genes with Logan's, making her Laura's biological mother. |

In Fire Emblem Fates, the Hidden Truths DLC reveals a case of this. Dragon Anankos gave his Madness a human form, which became the Dragon girl Lilith. He then used her as a pawn in his plans, knowing that she loved her "father" and badly wanted his approval. Then Anankos's kindly Human Side reached out to her and then died in a Heroic Sacrifice for her, causing Lilith to have a Heel–Face Turn and devote herself to the Avatar - aka Human Anankos' normally conceived child. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: Beholders reproduce without any need for mating. Instead, after reaching adulthood, the womb located beneath every beholder's tongue will spontaneously generate a litter of offspring. In 5th Edition, beholders instead reproduce by dreaming each other into existence, a process that, once again, involves a single "parent" individual. Flumphs reproduce entirely asexually — every couple years, an adult flumph will simply bud off an infant. Forgotten Realms: Halaster Blackcloak makes a number of clones of himself (all of which were as crazy or worse than he was) before he died. Whenever two of them meet (like in the ending of the first chapter of Hordes of the Underdark) they hold a rather amusing argument over which is the original and which is the clone. Finder Wyvernspur attempted something similar, feeling that his music was too perfect to be trusted to mere bards who would change them to suit their interests at the time and wanted them to exist unchanged by time. As such, he created what was in essence a clone of himself to use as an immortal repository of his music but his abuses of the newly created creature as it was developing left it with a burning and eternal hatred of its creator and it refused to ever sing a note of his "father/mother's" music and killed one of the apprentices that was part of its creation. Later he teamed with an alliance of evil creating a daughter feeling she would be more pliable (and unbeknownst to him one of them created dozens on the side) to try and prove he was right and ended up with a raft of daughters all different in personality and crafted backgrounds (none knowing off of their created past outside of Alias). |

The Sims: In The Sims 2, if you use the Tombstone of Life and Death, you can choose to "simulate a genetic merger with" the Sims that are currently on the lot. The selected Sim (the one who would be getting pregnant) is included on that list. Children produced through this method will always be a gender-switched clone of the parent (at least, in facial features and coloring). Brandi Broke's unborn son is a pre-made example, though it does list a father on the child's family tree. In The Sims 3: Into the Future, the bios for Ceres and Atom Beaker say that they are clones of Loki Beaker (from Strangetown in The Sims 2) that were accidentally sent to the future. Also children made via Clone Voucher (including the Landgraab clones from Lunar Lakes). There's also the Clone Drone elixir and the Science Skill cloning, but clones from those don't end up related to anyone on the family tree. In addition, it's also possible to do this in Create-A-Sim. |

Advance Wars: Days of Ruin: Caulder/Stolos is probably the most prolific Truly Single Parent this side of Jango Fett, making no less than four different clones (which didn't really look much like him except for hair color and complexion, and most of them aren't even the right gender) and then making a bunch of backup clones for each clone type. The four end up ranging the entire spectrum of good and evil. On top of this, at the end we find out that he's actually a clone of the first Caulder/Stolos, the only survivor after the original and his clones decided that There Can Be Only One of them and killed each other. | |

Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS: There's an unusual case of this; the cloning was done without the parent's knowledge and when Quint Nakajima discovered Subaru and Ginga, she raised them as her daughters in a normal, loving environment with her husband since she couldn't have children anyway. She didn't even find out that they were her clones until much later (although their resemblance to her was part of the reason why she adopted them in the first place). Uno was also an Opposite-Sex Clone of Scaglietti, and several of the other Numbers were based at least partly on his DNA. |

Forgotten Realms: Halaster Blackcloak makes a number of clones of himself (all of which were as crazy or worse than he was) before he died. Whenever two of them meet (like in the ending of the first chapter of Hordes of the Underdark) they hold a rather amusing argument over which is the original and which is the clone. Finder Wyvernspur attempted something similar, feeling that his music was too perfect to be trusted to mere bards who would change them to suit their interests at the time and wanted them to exist unchanged by time. As such, he created what was in essence a clone of himself to use as an immortal repository of his music but his abuses of the newly created creature as it was developing left it with a burning and eternal hatred of its creator and it refused to ever sing a note of his "father/mother's" music and killed one of the apprentices that was part of its creation. Later he teamed with an alliance of evil creating a daughter feeling she would be more pliable (and unbeknownst to him one of them created dozens on the side) to try and prove he was right and ended up with a raft of daughters all different in personality and crafted backgrounds (none knowing off of their created past outside of Alias). |

Subverted in an episode of Pinky and the Brain. The Brain attempts to take over the world by cloning himself, which he hopes will lead to a chain reaction where his clone will clone itself, and that clone will clone itself, etc. He would be a Truly Single Parent...until one of Pinky's toenail clippings accidentally gets in the cloning device, making the resulting "clone" essentially the son of the two title characters. Played straight in the fourth episode of the Animaniacs reboot, where Brain creates a robot version of himself named B.R.A.I.N, who calls him "father". |

In The Four Gospels, Mary was a virgin engaged to marry Joseph when an angel (traditionally identified as Gabriel) appeared to her and informed her she would birth the Messiah prophesied in the Old Testament. Joseph himself planned to quietly break off the engagement to spare Mary's honor, but the angel then appeared to him as well to explain things. Joseph married Mary and raised Jesus as his own son, and for this reason Joseph is the Patron Saint of fathers and fatherhood in forms of Christianity that use a concept of sainthood (and is respected as Jesus' father-figure in Islam, which, generally speaking, doesn't do saints, at least not in the same way as Christianity). | |

Mass Effect, Henry Lawson had himself cloned to create his daughter Miranda, who also received significant genetic engineering to become a perfect human and powerful biotic. After she ran away, he created another one as a replacement. Oriana, whom Miranda kidnapped as a baby and secretly gave to foster parents. For some reason he apparently stopped trying to get his perfect heir and instead focused on getting Oriana back over the next decade or so. He created a lot of other clones before, but those were discarded as failures. Which perfectly fits the character of his other projects. Building a fake refugee camp to gain free bodies for Ceberus' cyborg slave army and turn all the unfit children and elderly into zombies for weapon tests and combat training. | |

In The Sims 2, if you use the Tombstone of Life and Death, you can choose to "simulate a genetic merger with" the Sims that are currently on the lot. The selected Sim (the one who would be getting pregnant) is included on that list. Children produced through this method will always be a gender-switched clone of the parent (at least, in facial features and coloring). | |

Star Trek: In Star Trek: The Original Series, tribbles apparently reproduce through parthenogenesis, as they're said to be born already pregnant. Dr. Noonien Soong from Star Trek: The Next Generation has Data (and Evil Twin Lore). Data is not really a clone in any sense of the word, but he does share his creator's likeness, and is possibly a result of his creator wanting to better his "offspring". (Note that Data has a large portion of Dr. Soong's memories.) Ironically, Soong was not actually a single "parent", as he had a wife who was the androids' "mother". Data himself also tries to create a child, Lal, who's built to work almost exactly like Data, although she quickly gained her own personality. He also had B4, who he did not create, but did copied all of his memories into, creating the android equivalent of a clone. Dr. Lewis Zimmerman from Star Trek: Voyager also put a lot of himself in his creation of the EMH Mark 1, although he never really regarded any as sons except the Doctor, when he finally met him. Incidentally, they also look exactly alike. |

Jango Fett from Attack of the Clones was the genetic template for the Republic's clone army, and part of his payment was an extra, unaltered clone to raise as his son, Boba (the mainline clones were genetically modified to mature more quickly and be more obedient to authority). The clones consider themselves a Band of Brothers and in Legends continuity many consider Jango their father. Boba, at least, doesn't view the clones as his family and denies the argument from one of his "brothers" during an arc in Star Wars: The Clone Wars which resulted in a number of clones being killed either by Boba or his allies. | |

Journey to Chaos: Bladi Conversion is a downplayed example. While the person-to-be-converted is conceived and born in the standard fashion, the Bladi who converts them does so by replacing their parent's genetic information with their own. Biologically speaking, the convertor becomes their only parent. Basilard becomes Zettai's third biological father in this fashion, after expelling the blood of his Evil Uncle, who had expelled the blood of Zettai's original father, in his turn. This leads to a lot of expectations neither is prepared for. | |

Marionettes: Dr. Bright Future, the creator of the Marionettes (sapient robots of which Trixie is one), is constantly referred to as "father" by Trixie and a number of other ones (though Teddy refuses to, as he HAS an adopted father). He eventually comes to return the feeling. Flim and Flam are probably the straightest example, as they're actually based off of his mind. Queen Majesty's foal-making mirror also appears and is fully capable of creating a child from a single pony, as it does with Derpy to create Derby Hooves (and heavily implied to have ALSO created Dinky in the past), though it is fully capable of using multiple parents. It's also heavily implied that Masquerade the 45th was created by her mother Masquerade the 44th using it. |

In Yu Gi-Oh: The Thousand Year Door, Redux Francesca's ancestor, despite a vow of celibacy, was able to conceive and bear a child due to a holy ritual invoking the patron god of unicorns. (Although, her unicorn companion was supposed to be the spiritual father of such a child, but as far as physical parentage was concerned, she was the only parent.) | |

Godzilla: The title character has been this trope a couple times: The infamous 1998 movie's Zilla reproduces asexually, spawning 200 eggs. This also applies to the Widow in the spin-off animated series (see below). The Shin incarnation of Shin Godzilla is believed to reproduce by budding, based on how a severed tissue sample continues to grow on its own. The movie's last couple shots, showing Godzilla-humanoids sprouting from the frozen Godzilla's tail, lend further credence to this theory. Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019): At the end of the movie, a Titan egg believed to have been laid by Mothra is discovered. The director confirmed on Twitter that the egg was laid by Mothra during the hours between her metamorphosis and her death, and also that the offspring will be another Mothra with the same Genetic Memory. |

The DCU: The late 1980s gave us Vril Dox (a.k.a. Brainiac) and Vril Dox II. The story fits this trope to a tee, including setting impossible standards for the clone, and subsequent rebellion. Despite the latest continuity reboot claiming that Vril Dox has been operating entirely through robot proxies for thousands of years (Until Now!), it appears this relationship is still intact. Wonder Woman was created this way (except in the New 52, which retconned her into Zeus's daughter; this was subsequently retconned back): Hippolyta, Queen of the immortal Amazons, was desperate for a child despite their society having no men. She crafted a baby out of clay and prayed to the gods to give it life, and the result was baby Diana. This idea has been tweaked throughout the years: As she was originally envisioned, Diana was just another Amazon, born through natural means. Her father was inconsequential and presumably long dead since he couldn't attain immortality on Paradise Island and he was never named, this has lead to theories that Hercules is her father since he's the only man Polly is known to have slept with across all versions. Her clay-crafted birth was first introduced in Wonder Woman (1942) a year after her debut. In the Silver Age, Diana and Nubia were crafted from clay by Hippolyta and brought to life by the Greek gods. In Wonder Woman (1987), all the Amazons are female victims of male murderers who were crafted new bodies out of clay and granted new lives with their original memories intact. Since Diana was killed in the womb she was made an infant and given a chance to grow up and was the only child on the island. She was later granted her more marvelous abilities after proving herself by stopping Ares from starting World War III. Despite maintaining both of their names which both reference their father Hermes, Wonder Woman (Rebirth) depicts Atlantiades/Hermaphroditus as the child of Aphrodite alone. As a mater of fact they mostly go by Atlantiades, a name which is entirely a reference to Hermes and Hermes' ancestry. In the Elseworld tale Wonder Woman: Warbringer, Hippolyta formed Diana from clay and then Diana was brought to life by the Amazon's patron goddesses. In The Legend of Wonder Woman (2016), all of the Amazons besides the founders were born when their mothers where granted pregnancies by the gods with no men or sexual intercourse involved since this version of the Amazons are not immortal and would otherwise die out. |

The Venture Bros.: Rusty is very secretive about the identity of Hank and Dean's Missing Mom. Him making his sons into a series of clones to replaced the dead ones has made viewers speculate even the originals were made artificially with only Rusty's DNA, but the show's creators denied this early on into the show's long run. In the Grand Finale, we learn the boys do have a genetic mother, but she was simply an egg donor and they were born from a Uterine Replicator. | |

A very odd inversion of this in Hugo from OFF. He is a young child dependent on his parents, The Batter and Vader Eloha, to raise him and care for him.

In Twenty Years Late, Adam the Thin Man explains to the Human Resistance that, unlike the Sectoids, which are simply cloned en masse, Vipers/Thin Men reproduce through parthenogenesis — a real-life phenomena observed in some reptiles where the female spontaneously becomes pregnant with clones of herself. It's unclear if this is the result of genetic tinkering by the Ethereals or if they always reproduced in this way, as the author has admitted to disliking the Alien Rulers DLC that introduced the "Viper King", the only male Viper ever seen in XCOM canon. | |

In The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, 4000 year-old reclusive wizard Divayth Fyr has created four Opposite Sex Clones of himself, who are variously referred to as his "daughters" and his "wives". When discussed, his affection toward them seems more fatherly than sexual, but he still has a Dirty Old Man aura about him. Perhaps surprisingly, this isn't seen as very Squicky, at least within his tower. | |

Played with in Transformers: Animated. It is strongly hinted throughout seasons 1 and 2 that Isaac Sumdac created Sari artificially. Eventually, she's revealed as a Cybertronian protoform that scanned Isaac's DNA instead of a vehicle. Given their Bizarre Alien Reproduction, and the unknown origin of Sari's non-standard protoform, there may or may not be someone who could also be considered her "parent". | |

In El Goonish Shive, Elliot can be considered this in relation to Ellen as she is his Opposite-Sex Clone though her creation was entirely unintentional and they live as brother and sister. Uryuom aliens can produce egg shells that can be injected with 2+ DNA sources (that of the producers and/or other species) to make a child. Normally, two Uryuoms are needed to make the egg shell, but the one who fathered Grace and her brothers had an "abnormality" that allowed him to create egg shells without a mate for the breeding project he worked for. |

The Powerpuff Girls' father, Professor Utonium, made them in a lab out of sugar and spice and everything nice, plus Chemical X. Later on, it's revealed that Mojo Jojo, the primary enemy of the girls and formerly the assistant of Utonium, was responsible for accidentally adding Chemical X into the formula that created the girls. Mojo Jojo fits the trope in another way, as he created the Rowdyuff Boys without any help from anyone. (Later, after they are brought back to life by Him, he competes with the other villain for their affection; each villain tries to prove that he is more evil than the other to win them over.) | |

A gangster who gradually lost parts of his body (legs, arms, torso) over the years celebrated his repeated survival by cloning a son from his own genetic material each time.

Revelation Space Series: Dan Sylveste is actually a clone of his father Calvin, with some attempt at childhood trauma reproduction. Unusually, this fact is kept secret even from him, by covert body modification to make him look more like his "mother". | |

In Hades Nyx states that this is the case with Chaos, who she refers to as both her mother and her father due to Chaos' nature. Also the case with some of Nyx's other children including Thanatos and Hypnos since the codex mentions those two as being explicitly fatherless. | |

The Han Solo Trilogy: Hutts, being hermaphrodites capable of asexual reproduction, often are this. Their children refer to them as simply "my parent" in this case, rather than "mother" or "father" (Hutts sometimes also switch gender identities during pregnancy, so this makes sense). | |

Otherland features a character who attempted this as part of an Immortality scheme. He commissioned two clones of himself — one of each sex — and had one of them raised in the same manner as his mother, intending for her to "give birth" to his male clone and raise it as he himself was raised, thus providing personal continuity as a form of Legacy Character. When the program suffers a catastrophe, he gives it up in favor of Brain Uploading. | |

In the Chakat Universe, all hermaphrodites therein are of course able to do this, though they're not supposed to unless they have no other option. (This was done by a villainous skunk in one of Gildedtongue's adventures. Shi is the only canon example so far.) | |

Bomango: Gogo is shown to be able to reproduce asexually when Didi grew and budded off of her. However they see each other as twins, not as parent and child. Also they might be able to reproduce sexually as well because both Didi and Gogo have different sexual/romantic orientations. Gogo is straight. Didi is a lesbian. | |

Implied in the case of the Goddess (aka Sothis) in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. There's no mention of her ever having a mate or a husband, and her children the Children of the Goddess are said to have been born from her blood, implying something magical rather than a physical pregnancy. | |

In The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob!, Jean tells Bob confidentially that the genetic cocktail which accidentally produced Molly the Peanut Butter Monster contained genetic material from many creatures, including some human — Jean's own. This only accounts for a small part of Molly's genome, but Jean is Molly's mother, just a little bit. | |

Downtiming The Night Side uses the same setup as —All You Zombies— to invert this trope. Yes, the protagonist is both mother and father (via several time loops and a Gender Bender inflicted by the setting's time travel Applied Phlebotinum) but she/he is two different parents from the children's perspective since he/she was the father on one time loop and the mother on another, as well as effectively two different people due to Character Development. | |

Laurel "Cobweb" Lakeland and her sidekick Clarice (and all their known ancestors) in Tomorrow Stories are somewhere between this and Homosexual Reproduction. They're clones (parthenogenic reproduction), but their development was triggered by lesbian sex between the previous Cobweb and her sidekick. | |

Alternative sources in the Star Wars Legends continuity have instead implied that Darth Plagueis more directly created Anakin through a Force technique that allowed him to induce parthenogenesis in women, which was something he discovered as a side-effect of his quest to unlock Force-powered immortality. | |

Dr. Lewis Zimmerman from Star Trek: Voyager also put a lot of himself in his creation of the EMH Mark 1, although he never really regarded any as sons except the Doctor, when he finally met him. Incidentally, they also look exactly alike. | |

YuYu Hakusho: Shura, who's a clone of his father, Yomi. He doesn't act exactly as his father does, but that's because he's still a kid, and it's stated that Yomi used to be more impetuous before he got blinded. Also, the Ice Maidens have no fathers, only mothers. If an Ice Maiden gets intimate enough with a male to give birth to a child of his, said child will be male. |

Although the audience doesn't get to see much of Sailor Moon's Silver Millennium, Queen Serenity may well qualify for this trope, albeit an unusually benevolent example. She has no husband, no one ever asks who or where Princess Serenity's father is, and she and her daughter look exactly alike. This is more obvious in the manga, where Princess Serenity is frequently drawn with silver hair, and much of the Moon Kingdom's resources include advanced technology. There's a panel in the manga that shows Queen Serenity bringing the shell of a star to the Galaxy Cauldron, then Princess Serenity's birth. | |

In Lilo & Stitch, evil genius scientist Dr. Jumba Jookiba is imprisoned for creating Experiment 626, a bulletproof, fireproof alien monster with a computerlike brain, super strength, and night vision. 626 makes a jailbreak from the detention ship, heading for Earth, where he takes refuge by disguising himself as an Earth dog. In exchange for his freedom, Jumba tries to recover his experiment, who is adopted by Lilo and given the name Stitch. | |

Transformers: The continuities in general do this a lot with their robot characters, given that they only need a single set of hands (or even no hands, in some cases) to build them. Played with in Transformers: Animated. It is strongly hinted throughout seasons 1 and 2 that Isaac Sumdac created Sari artificially. Eventually, she's revealed as a Cybertronian protoform that scanned Isaac's DNA instead of a vehicle. Given their Bizarre Alien Reproduction, and the unknown origin of Sari's non-standard protoform, there may or may not be someone who could also be considered her "parent". |

Dr. Noonien Soong from Star Trek: The Next Generation has Data (and Evil Twin Lore). Data is not really a clone in any sense of the word, but he does share his creator's likeness, and is possibly a result of his creator wanting to better his "offspring". (Note that Data has a large portion of Dr. Soong's memories.) Ironically, Soong was not actually a single "parent", as he had a wife who was the androids' "mother". | |
