Evil counterparts

[Gaius]

There's Wrath for Batman who has had a few origins that are all pretty much mirror criminal versions of Batman's. When he showed up in The Batman, he was given a Robin counterpart called Scorn.

[Vakanai]

For Robin, yes. So does Wrath. But not for Nightwing, even tho Owlmans Talon was his world's Grayson.

Arguably Red Hood was kind of an anti-Nightwing, except they didn't fight much and Jason is back in the fold.

I remember watching this as a kid

I thought Granite Lady was Plastic Man's evil opposite. But I guess she's only in DCAU.

Plasmaman is Plasticman’s opposite.

[scary harpy]

Don't forget the animated movie Crisis on Two Earths.

Many bad/good counterparts were introduced.

[Samm]

Are we are talking evil doppelgängers or just evil mirror versions of the hero? I’ll list one for both.

Superman: Ultraman and General Zod
Batman: Owlman and Batman Who Laughs (?)
Wonder Woman: Superwoman and Grail
Green Lantern: Power Ring and Sinestro
The Flash: Johnny Quick and Reverse Flash
Aquaman: Sea King and Oceanmaster
Martian Manhunter: White Martian and Maalefaak
Green Arrow: Deadeye and Merlyn
Black Canary: White Cat and White Canary
Vixen: Vamp and Kuasa
Hawkman: Sky Tyrant and ???
Hawkgirl: Angelique and ???
Firestorm: Deathstorm and ???
Blue Beetle: Scarlet Scarab and Black Beetle
Cyborg: Grid and Cyborg Girl
Black Lightning: Black Power and White Thunder

IIRC Black Lightning had a one off evil counterpart from Cold Dead Hands called White Thunder, or something along those lines.

Arguably Red Hood was kind of an anti-Nightwing, except they didn't fight much and Jason is back in the fold.

I can see that, Nightwing is the perfect "son" that followed in their "father's" footsteps, while Red Hood is the troubled "son" that rejected that and followed his own path; ironically I feel Jason is more stable and emotionally healthier for it.

[Agent Z]

That's a little bit hard to find, as The Mirror is such a common hero-fiction trope, going back at least as far as Doyle's Professor Moriarty.

As I think on it, neither of the first two Atoms had an opposite number (although Ryan Choi did). While Batman has at least three, I don't think anyone ever created counterparts for either Nightwing or Batgirl. In a similar manner, I don't think anyone ever gave Supergirl or Power Girl, opposites (except, maybe each other). I haven't followed all of his series, but I don't know that Black Lightning got an opposite number (he had several adversaries - most notably, Tobias Whale -but nobody that was really a mirror character). Same is true of Firestorm.

A lot of the pre-Silver Age characters never picked up a Mirror: Robot Man, The Shining Knight, Hourman, the original Green Lantern, The Star-Spangled Kid and Stripsey, The Sandman. Several of those, however, lost their features before superhero comics went beyond beating up gangsters.

The New 52 gave Nightwing an evil counterpart in the form of Saiko aka Raymon McCreary. Dick and Raymond were childhood friends and circus performers but while Dick got adopted by Bruce Wayne, Raymond was taken by the Court of Owls and made into an assassin.

Power Girl also had an evil counterpart. Namely Divine, a clone created by Max Lord during the Judd Winnick run.

Edit: Before Saiko, there was Nite-Wing aka Tad Ryerstad. He was a vigilante who modeled himself after Nightwing.

nightwing evil counterpart is deathwing . nothing speaks edgey like spikes and pierced nips.

A Great List!

[DrNewGod]

Am I mistaken, or was the OP about characters that lack counterparts, rather than lists of counterparts?

I’m trying to get a list of superheroes or teams without evil counterparts:
For example: Superman would have Zod, Bizarro, Cyborg Superman, possibly Eradicator, Superboy Prime, Ultraman.

While the team Superman is on, JUstice League has Crime Syndicate.

Or Plastic Man has one in Plasaman and the team he’s on, The Terrifics, have the Dreadfuls.

You weren’t mistaken.

But I guess knowing which ones DO, helps.

[Güicho]

I don't know that Black Lightning got an opposite .

Vixen, ... Black Lightning, .... Teams like the Outsiders, ....seem less likely to have fallen into this trope.

Vibe? Gypsy?

True^ not in canon.

Although besides the usual E2 counterparts, JL: Crisis on Two Earths (care of McDuffie) added a bunch of new previous lacking E2 evil analogs for Outsiders and Detroit League.

Black Lightning - Black Power
Looker - Model Citizen
Halo - Aurora
Katana - Sai

Vibe - Breakdance
Vixen - Vamp
Gypsy - Gypsy Woman?
Steel? Might be the only one who didn't get one?





and a LOBO analog

Warwolf



As well as a bunch of SHAZAMily evil analogs, and more.
