I know it's a rather cliché but when a hero confront a villain who isn't just like them in powers but also thinks like them, even to the point of passing themselves off as the hero, I find the whole plot interesting.

Such doppelgängers present a different perspective of the very hero they're against to the point they make the hero reflect upon themselves. Plus usually the character is an "anti-self" and come from an "anti-world" and it's always fun to see those worlds and why such worlds are like that.

For example, Scourge wasn't Shadow, he wasn't Metal Sonic, he was Sonic and had his attitude and behavior but not the morality due to the nature of Anti-Mobius. Scourge chose to torment Sonic for the very opposite reasons why we look at ourselves in the mirror.

All in all it's about an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object, the two being equally matched and a paradox of one anothers skill that it comes to the point when one must win through some means or another.
