Line 283:
* The Kindle-based comic book series [[Limekiller At Large]] features a number of these. The Blue Pangolin (The Ted Kord version of Blue Beetle), The Alloy Angel (Iron Man), Commander Dynamic (Superman), The Knoir Knight and Chickadee the Boy Diversion(Batman and Robin), Quantum Phyllis (Dr. Manhattan), and the American Ranger (a mash-up of Captain America and the Lone Ranger).
* Much of the cast of ''[[Jack Staff]]'' is made up of Ersatz versions of either [[Marvel Comics]] heroes, or British pulp comic heroes. This is because the series was originally pitched as a Marvel series. Jack Staff himself is based on Captain Britain and Union Jack; Becky Burdock is partially based on Captain Britain's sister Betsy Braddock/Psylocke. The Hurricane is Captain Hurricane, Tom Tom the Robot Boy is Archie the Robot, and General Tubbs is General Jumbo.
* Captain Strong was a character released by DC Comics in 1973, who was a pretty blatant rip-off of [[Popeye]], made after DC tried and failed to obtain the comic book rights to the actual Popeye [https://comicvine1.cbsistatic.com/uploads/scale_medium/11114/111147698/4639645-4e3qfd.jpg (judge for yourself here)]. Although, he seemed to have evolved later into an [[Affectionate Parody]] of the character when making appearances in [[Harley Quinn]]'s comic during [[The New 52]].
