Line 22:
== Comic Books ==
* The [[Image Comics]] miniseries ''[[Phonogram]]'' is about this: a "phonomancer" who draws power from [[Britpop]] comes into conflict with a group of "retromancers" who wish to reshape the cultural memetics of Britain just so that they can clutch on to their youth.
*
** The utterly ridiculous [[Evil Reactionary]] villain Turner D. Century, who bothered [[Spider-Woman]] before Spider-Man trounced him.
** The (somewhat) more serious Spidey baddie Hammerhead talks and acts like he was a member of Al Capone's mob. Hammerhead even has a vintage limo in ''[[The Spectacular Spider-Man]]'', which is kind of [[Badass]].
** Disco-themed villain the Hypno-Hustler. To be fair, his debut was in 1978, where Disco's popularity was only starting to decline, but since then, he's been a big joke.
* Briefly happened to [[Green Arrow]] after he was resurrected. His soul (which opted to remain in the afterlife) only allowed [[Green Lantern|Hal]] to bring back a previous version of himself, one from before his life fell apart. The reborn Arrow doesn't know what year it is, thinks a man is a super-villain simply for owning a modern (for 1999) computer, and mistakes a cellphone for a walkie-talkie. By the end of the story, his soul rejoins his body, bringing him back up to date.
* Dozier D. Daze and his Nostagianator on the ''[[Tomorrow Stories]]'' by [[Alan Moore]].
Line 31 ⟶ 33:
* The Mad Mod in ''[[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Teen Titans]]'' was, in the original comics, a contemporary 1960s character. [[Comic Book Time]] led to the version in [[Teen Titans (animation)|the cartoon]] and the [[Recursive Adaptation|cartoon-based comic]] ''[[Teen Titans Go!|Teen Titans Go]]'', where he became a Disco Dan type instead, still obsessed with 1960s pop culture even though the 1960s were long gone.
* [[Icon]] featured a Luke Cage parody named Buck Wild Mercenary man, who showcased all the most ridiculous and [[Unfortunate Implications|offensive]] aspects of 70s "Blaxploitation" super-heroes. This was because the experiment that gave him his powers also literally froze his brain in 1973.
