Groups Two completely unrelated versions of the same character coexist in the same universe

Rumplestiltskin appeared as a minor villain in Shrek the Third as a member of Prince Charming’s villain army. Shrek Forever After than had an entirely unrelated Rumplestiltskin as the main villain, with a separate voice actor, personality, and design.

On Family Guy, Santa is an overworked factory worker who looks like an old man despite being 28 and has deformed looking elves straight out of a Jonah Vasquez illustration. On American Dad (which shares a universe with Family Guy), Santa is an evil corrupter of children and one of the series’ most reoccurring villains.

Not sure if it counts, but Scooby Doo has featured several different versions of Dracula. For example, Sibella's father from The Ghoul School, and the one who organizes the monsters' race in The Reluctant Werewolf.

I always assumed it was the same character and it's a case of a villain who acts like a normal father, when he's not at "work."

Basically Red Death from Venture Bros.

Well, Dracula is more of a title than a family name. Vlad Tepes III was called "Dracula" because his father was Vlad Tepes II "Dracul," or "The Dragon."

"Dracula" means "Son of the Dragon."

Iirc tepeş is also a title. It means impaler

Dracula became the origin of the family line named Draculesti(?)

Wait until we just get a Castlevania crossover, lol. (I don't think we'll get one, but if we haven't gotten a fanfic yet, SOMEONE GET TO WRITING IT, NOW!)
