* ''Fanfic/{{Cain}}'': Despite the fic being a one-shot, Katsuki Bakugou's [[SlowlySlippingIntoEvil gra]][[SanitySlippage dual]] [[ProtagonistJourneyToVillain descent into villainy]] makes him a corrupted caricature to a couple of characters that inspired the canon ''My Hero Academia'' manga:
** Of Tetsuo Shima from ''Manga/{{Akira}}''. Despite not being a hero by any stretch of the definition, even with the anime's AdaptationalHeroism, Tetsuo is still far more sympathetic than how Cain!Bakugou is, especially regarding his DarkAndTroubledPast as an orphan abandoned by his parents and bullied for his meek behavior by the other kids, and, even at his worst, [[spoiler:he would never kill (or truly bring himself to kill), his BestFriend despite his deep feeling of inferiority towards him, and manages to reconcile with the Kaneda before he AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence at the end of his series.]] In contrast, Cain!Bakugou never had to struggle while growing up as Tetsuo did and his friendship with Izuku was [[FairWeatherFriend only fair weather]] [[WeUsedToBeFriends before turning animosity]] [[PrivilegeMakesYouEvil after years of being lionized for the most asinine things]], [[ControlFreak and spend over a decade as]] a BarbaricBully [[ControlFreak ensuring Izuku's eternal misery]]. The moment Katsuki finds out that Izuku is being chosen by All Might to become his successor, [[SerialEscalation he pulls nonstop by escalating his harassment of Izuku to outright physical and psychological torture for nearly the entire fic out of a combination of self-righteousness, sadism, bigotry, narcissism, and delusional paranoia]] [[spoiler:[[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope before he eventually decided to murder him (and failed)]] and is on his way to becoming Izuku's (and by extension All Might's) ArchEnemy and as a potential [[GenerationXerox All For One 2.0]] in the unforeseen future]].
** Of Naruto Uzumaki from the [[Manga/{{Naruto}} series of the same name]]. On the surface, the two of them share many similarities regarding their [[JapaneseDelinquents physical appearances]], [[HotBlooded personality]], having [[PitbullDatesPuppy parents of differing temperaments]], natural talent in power and fighting, [[ToBeAMaster lifelong goals]], and even sharing similar sounding names in a reverse order. However, Naruto suffers a DarkAndTroubledPast from being scornfully isolated (at best) for something that was out of his control, is a very empathetic and loyal friend to those he loves, constantly reaches out to [[RivalTurnedEvil Sasuke]] despite the latter's repeated (and many times lethal) rejection and succeeds, and achieves his lifelong dream of being Hokage at the end of his story. Similar to the above example, Katsuki lived a life of privilege with nearly anything handed him on a silver platter (though he does put in the effort to earn them), leaving him with an incredibly huge, but fragile ego who would so much as harm and eventually screw ''anybody'' who contradict his desires and worldviews, even his own loved ones. He also constantly bullies and tortures Izuku throughout the fic, despite getting '''more''' chances than he justifiably deserves to think otherwise of Izuku's true intentions. [[spoiler:Finally, Katsuki destroys his own life by the end and is implied to be on his way to becoming one of the worst villains in Japanese history.]]
*** In addition, Cain!Bakugou is also a corrupted caricature of Naruto's AlternateSelf in the anime-only WhatIf arc, where Naruto's parents didn't have to sacrifice themselves to stop the Nine-tail fox's rampage.
** If Izuku is a counterpart to [[SpiderManSendUp Peter Parker]], then Cain!Bakugou would be [[Characters/SpiderManSupportingCharacters Eugene "Flash" Thompson]] if you stripped away all of his sympathetic qualities and make him notably unhinged, or if you take Flash's [[ComicBook/UltimateMarvel Ultimate]] and [[Film/SpiderMan1 fi]][[Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan lm]] counterparts' {{Jerkass}} traits and [[SerialEscalation dial them up by eleven]], or, more horrifyingly, if '''[[Characters/MarvelComicsSpiders Carl King[=/=]The Thousand]]''' is more intelligent and popular. Also, given the fic's futuristic setting, the CainAndAbel dynamic between Katsuki and Izuku, and the escalating paranoia-fueled animosity the former has for the latter, we can add in some characteristics of [[ComicBook/SpiderMan2099 Kron Stone]] in Cain!Bakugou for good measure.

**** Chloe also reflects darkly on the character of Penny from [[VideoGame/PokemonScarletAndViolet Scarlet and Violet]]. Both are introverted nerds who faced bullying problems that would ultimately lead the both of them to be taken out of school events, afterschool for Chloe and entirely for Penny, for their own healing. Both are implied to be from well off families, as Chloe's father affords a rather large research facility in a major city while Penny is hinted to be the paternal niece of the massively rich Chairman Rose. Both are fans of mass media and both have created longstanding problems in their wake after they left, and are often paired alongside extroverts they find exasperating at times (Ash and Goh in Chloe's case and the other main characters, particularly Nemona, for Penny). And while Chloe herself is not directly linked to Eevee, [[spoiler: her alternate self is]]. However Penny did not intend for Team Star to cause any problems after she left, and both set to save them from themselves while also doing what she can to clean up her mistake, a level of self-reflection Chloe has shown to be unable to muster as she handles her own lingering problems back home. Penny, while she also groans at her family's antics and the antics of Nemona, does not loath or hate them in anyway similar to that of Chloe to her own family and friends and would never desire to hurt them. Ultimately Chloe is who Penny would be if she actually wanted to have people, from her bullies to her friends and family, severely hurt and ruined.

* ''Fanfic/TheSoulmateTimeline'': Akasuki Suzumebachi is technically an EvilCounterpart to three different characters (Mami, Kyoko, and Homura), but in terms of outright design she's meant to be this to Mami Tomoe. Both of them are veterans who take young girls under their wing to help them find wishes and train them as fellow Magical Girls, both of them are {{Improbable Weapon User}}s (Mami with her ribbons, Akasuki with her finger ring), and both of them are close to Kyubey due to their actions. However, Mami genuinely wants to help others while addressing her crippling loneliness, believes wishes should be thought through, does her best to prepare possible apprentices for the tough life ahead of them, and she has no idea about the AwfulTruth about [[AndThenJohnWasAZombie the connection between Magical Girls and Witches]] or about the true depths of Kyubey's manipulations. Akasuki meanwhile not only knows all about the AwfulTruth and Kyubey's actions, she's a SerialKiller who fools impressionable girls into making contracts, mentors them only long enough to form a bond of trust, and [[TreacherousAdvisor then exploits that trust to take control of their bodies]] with her magic, upon which she mentally breaks them until they turn into Witches she then kills for their Grief Seeds to keep on living. Kyubey appreciates Mami for being an inspiring paragon for Magical Girls and Akasuki for being a reliable farmer of Grief Seeds, as both of them play a great role in harvesting the energy for the Incubator's fight against entropy. [[spoiler:Fittingly, it's Mami who ultimately kills Akasuki.]]
