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 24: * in ''[[The Incredibles]]'', Mr. Incredible catches and lifts a robot on his back, briefly mimicking the Atlas pose. == [[Live -Action TV]] == * There was a British sketch show from many years ago, the title of which has long since fled this troper's memory, which had a scene where a man was under the delusion that he was Atlas - so he was posing ''upside-down'' on the ground. Think about it. == [[Video Games]] == * ''[[Rayman 2: ~~(Video~~The ~~Game)\|Rayman~~Great 2Escape]]'' 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~~him holding up the globe outside City Hall. Considering Atlas was a couple-hundred feet tall... == ~~Webcomics~~[[Web Comics]] == * ''[[Karate Bears ~~Webomic~~]]'' [http://www.karatebears.com/2011/08/karate-bears-shrugged.html illustration of Ayn Rand's book.]▼ ▲* [[Karate Bears Webomic]] [http://www.karatebears.com/2011/08/karate-bears-shrugged.html illustration of Ayn Rand's book.] == [[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}}).
