* Victor Mancha of ''[[Runaways]]'' got really excited about meeting the X-Men. Strangely, he was much calmer about meeting Spider-Man, who he cited as his favorite superhero in his very first appearance.

* ''[[Batman]]''

** Batman himself calls ''[[The Shadow]]'' his greatest influence when they meet in ''Batman #253''. He also seemed rather excited to see [[Sherlock Holmes]], another large influence.

** Batman himself calls ''[[The Shadow]]'' his greatest influence when they meet in ''Batman #253''. He also seemed rather excited to see [[Sherlock Holmes]] (from ''Detective Comics #572''), another large influence.

** Tim Drake (the third Robin) was more-or-less an ascended [[Batman]] fanboy. An amateur detective, he deduced the secret identities of Batman and the first Robin, Dick Grayson. Following Jason Todd (the second Robin)'s death, he forced Batman into making him Robin, believing that Batman needed a sidekick to keep him stable. A later issue of ''[[Birds of Prey]]'' showed that Tim was also a huge fan of (the second) [[Blue Beetle]].

** Similarly, Dick Grayson, the first Robin, first Nightwing, and second Batman, has been shown, both in and outside of current canon, to be a huge Superman fanboy, more outwardly so when he was still Robin.
