Line 89: ** The two reappeared in a recent arc (''Batman'' #667-669, 2007) dedicated to the ''many'' tribute heroes Batman and Robin had met over the world: Knight and Squire (England), the Legionnaire (Italy), etc. * A 1980 issue of ''Fantomen'', "Flame", featured a woman inspired to fight injustice by tales of [[The Phantom (comic strip)\|The Phantom]]. She adopted a costume that somehow managed to look just like the Phantom's (apart from the necessary concessions to body shape), despite her never having seen the Phantom herself nor met anybody who had. * ''Action Comics'' #233 (1957) featured [https://web.archive.org/web/20190814121908/http://www.superdickery.com/~~index.php~~?option=com_content=article&id=1112:an-entire-country-of-superman-fanboys&catid=29:confounding-comic-covers-index&Itemid=32 a country where everyone was required by law to wear a Superman costume]. * Exception: Steel wore a costume in tribute to Superman after the latter's death. However, he was the only Superman-replacement who didn't claim to be the real thing, and his costume didn't look that similar, other than the symbol and the cape. In ''[[Kingdom Come]]'', Steel eventually switched his focus to Batman, using a Bat-Symbol and an axe instead of an 'S' shield and a hammer. Line 146: Justified in that her mission clothes have been noted to be a standard, off-the-rack ensemble on a number of occasions (it was even explicitly a plot point a couple times). *** One episode ("Kimitation Nation") even had it turning into a fashion craze called "Kim-Style" that everyone was into, even pets like Rufus and guys ("Kim For Him"). When Kim was persuaded to go out in the style she originated [[Alpha Bitch\|Bonnie]] criticized her for ''not making the look work on her''. By the end of the episode Kim Style goes out of fashion in order to make way for the new {{spoiler\|Ron Style}}. * ''[[~~Re Boot~~ReBoot]]'' has {{spoiler\|Megabyte}} use his new shapeshifting powers to impersonate Bob. However, he looks like the ''original'' Bob, lacking the web scars, possessing the [[The Other Darrin\|original voice]], and wears the original uniform instead of the real Bob's shiny new Glitch-Bob uniform. {{spoiler\|Megabyte}} uses this to his advantage to convince Dot that he's the real deal and that Glitch-Bob is the copy. {{spoiler\|Megabyte}} even gets Glitch-Bob to suspect that ''he'' might be the copy. [[Justified]] when it's eventually revealed that {{spoiler\|Megabyte had actually absorbed some of Bob's data when he crushed Glitch, which allowed him to simulate a nearly perfect disguise.}} Combine this with the fact that {{spoiler\|Megabyte is a [[Magnificent Bastard]]}}, and you can see just why this trick actually worked. ** Later subverted by Glitch, who {{spoiler\|sees through Megabyte's disguise and then attaches to him to reabsorb Bob's stolen data and return it to its rightful owner. Without this data, Megabyte}} couldn't maintain his disguise and was revealed, while Bob regained his original uniform and voice. * Tap Tap the Chiseler in ''[[Underdog (animation)\|Underdog]]'' did this in both his appearances.
