Just for fun, I took an image of Astro Boy and inverted the colors. What shall we call this?
Astro Boy's Inverse? Astro Boy's Double? Astro Boy's Other Self? Astro Boy's Counterpart? Astro Boy's Ghost? Astro Anti-Boy?
Yeah, that's it. The anti-matter Astro Boy. If they meet, they'll explode!

Astro Boy Negative ? That's how it is called in photography ;-)

Quite right! But I was thinking of names for the "inverted" boy himself -- not just names for the picture of him. I'm imagining if there were really two Astro Boys who were somehow "opposites" of each other. Would they be friends -- or enemies? Would they work together, or would they be rivals? Who knows, maybe the "inverted" Astro Boy would be evil! You could imagine all kinds of possibilities. :)

Yes, that's good. But it's spelled "Doppelganger" -- with "EL", not "LE".

Actually, I don't know German. But I picked up a few words of it, because my grandmother spoke German.
