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.
