Line 8:
Not to be confused with the "''Atlus'' pose", a look of sheer despair that one gets after staring at their [[Nintendo Hard|millionth]] [[Game Over]] screen in an [[Atlus]] game.
 
Bears minimal relation to ''[[Atlas Shrugged]]'', though this pose is [[Title Drop|mentioned once]] and shows up on the cover of some versions.

Line 28:
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
* '[[Rayman 2: (VideoThe Game)Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'' and the explosive kegs.
* [[City of Heroes]] has their very own superhero named Atlas. He died defending Paragon City during the sneak attack that started World War II, and was immortalized with a life-sized statue of Atlas holding up the globe outside City Hall. Considering Atlas was a couple-hundred feet tall...
 
Line 36:
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* In [[Chaotic]], a [[Combining Mecha]] that went on a rampage [[AIA.I. Is a Crapshoot|after being given free will]] did a last minute [[Heel Face Turn]] and [[Heroic Sacrifice|used itself]] to support the section of the Underworld ceiling formerly propped up by the Iron Pillar which it just destroyed moments ago. The robot assumed the Atlas pose as it held up the section of the cavern ceiling. But it also had another dose of Atlas in that the robot was petrified by Chaor (Atlas Mountains, anyone?), permanently becoming the new Iron Pillar.
* Done by ''Megatron'', of all bots, in episode 5 of ''[[Transformers Prime]]'' (but it's with {{spoiler|a chunk of Dark Energon}}).
