Line 155:
** And later, after Lois fell in love with Clark and discovered his secret identity, she viewed Wonder Woman as the Veronica on several occasions. This was an unfounded worry on her part though, since Supes and Wondy are [[Like Brother and Sister]].
* [[Superman]]'s clone [[Superboy]] had to choose between journalist Tana Moon (the Betty) and his agent's daughter Roxy Leech (the Veronica). Then his cellular matrix started to decay, and he was recreated with Roxy's genes, making them [[Like Brother and Sister]]. Then he fell in with Knockout (another Veronica) before [[Dating Catwoman|realising she was evil]]. Then Tana went on sabbatical, and [[Back for the Dead|came back just to get killed]].
* Tim Drake (3rd [[Robin (Comic Book)|Robin]]) from the [[Batman]] series has had his own personal love triangle in the early run of his solo book. He was dating civilian Ariana Dzerchenko (Betty) but was attracted to vigilante Stephanie Brown (Veronica) at the same time. Ironic, because Ariana has Veronica's physical appearance and bitchiness, and Stephanie has Betty's physical appearance and tomboyishness. Ultimately, Stephanie wins the triangle, with her becoming his most high-profile (and longest) relationship in the series.
** Even after Stephanie and Tim's breakup, her fake 'death', Tim dating a new girl called Zoanne and later Stephanie's subsequent return to Gotham -- Stephanie was still the Veronica, this time to Zoanne's Betty. And again, Stephanie wins the triangle (technically), with Tim breaking up with Zoanne on the phone, and then calling up Stephanie to try and patch things up with her.
** In Red Robin, Tam is now the new Betty to Stephanie's Veronica. And Lynx is the [[Third Option Love Interest]].
Line 171:
* The [[The Golden Age of Comic Books|Golden Age]] ''[[Mad Magazine|MAD]]'' romance spoof "Flob Was a Slob!" had everyday American girl Ramona Snarfle choosing between her childhood friend, Sheldon Flob, who'd rather be chasing butterflies, and handsome, adventurous Rackstraw Him, who happens to also be a drug pusher and philanderer.
* [[Sin City]] has Dwight as [[Archie]] with badass prostitute Gail as Veronica and sweetheart waitress Shellie as Betty.
* ''[[Incredible Hulk (Comic Book)|Incredible Hulk]]'' has Betty choosing between Bruce the Betty and Glenn the Veronica.
** The ''Chaos War'' would also have Jarella as the Betty and Red She-Hulk aka {{spoiler|Betty}} as the Veronica.
* The ''[[Deadpool|Deadpool: Merc with a Mouth]]'' mini-series had a literal Betty (Swanson, an A.I.M. [[Hot Scientist]] who is disgusted by him) and Veronica (Chase, an ESU [[Hot Teacher|professor]] who had the hots for him). Unfortunately, the latter ended up being zombified, so he's pretty much stuck with the hot blonde who hates his guts.
Line 487:
* Played straight in ''[[Infamous (video game series)|In Famous]]'' with Trish (Betty) and Sasha (Veronica) to Cole (Archie). {{spoiler|He loses them both with the former's death and the latter's capture by Kessler}}.
** In the second game, we get another straight example with Kuo and Nix.
* ''[[Resident Evil]]'''s Leon gets this in absolutely ''stupifying'' amounts due to the number of appearances he's made in the series and the fact that he's equal parts [[Casanova]] and [[Chick Magnet]]. In ''[[Resident Evil 2 (Video Game)|RE2]]'', he has Claire (Betty) and Ada (Veronica), although a [[Dating Catwoman|long-lasting attraction]] is ultimately seen to exist between him and the latter (on the opposite side, he and Claire end up as good friends). In ''[[Resident Evil 4|RE4]]'', he has Ashley (Betty) and Ada (again, the Veronica), with his [[Mission Control]] Hunnigan functioning as the [[Third Option Love Interest|Cheryl]] at the end. The movie ''[[Resident Evil: Degeneration|Degeneration]]'' has Claire (Betty) and Angela (Veronica). The only real exception to this is ''[[Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles|The Darkside Chronicles]]'', and even then Manuela is shown to have a subtle crush on Leon.
* [[Ar Tonelicotonelico]] series uses this on the twin token [[Love Interest|love interest.]] Aurica is sweet and quiet, while Misha is easy-going, cheerful, and has [[Fountain of Youth|an exotic problem with her body.]]
** [[Ar Tonelicotonelico 2II: (VideoMelody Game)of Metafalica]] has a local dive therapist Luca as Betty and the lady knight princess Cloche as Veronica. But after the series of [[Character Development|Character Developments]] their traits, personality wise, can be swapped.
** [[Ar Tonelico 3]] play this straighter. Saki is very [[Moe]], while Finnel is a [[Tsundere]] and [[Tomboy|tom boyish]] club mascot who spends some times at the beginning trying to get close to the protagonist's best friend for a [[McGuffin]].
* Ok.... in the game called [[Catherine]] Vincent (Archie) has to decide between his longtime girlfriend Katherine (Betty, note the "K") and sexy stranger Catherine (Veronica, note the "C"), and the choice kicks off the plot of the game. '''K'''atherine is hinting that she might be pregnant and its time for them to get married while '''C'''atherine might be stringing Vincent along and is hinted to be {{spoiler|causing nightmares in which men die in their sleep}}. Get all that?
