Line 50:
* After Marvel's ''[[Civil War (Comic Book)|Civil War]]'' storyline, each US state got its own superhero team. Texas got the Rangers, a group which includes three cowboy-themed heroes, an Indian-themed hero, and Armadillo, who is a big armadillo.
** Rangers was a pre-existing team - they formed from local heroes to stop the Hulk in the early 80s. Doesn't make them less [[Captain Ethnic]] about it.
* One of the enemies of ''[[Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew (Comic Book)|Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew]]'' was "Armordillo", an armor-plated armadillo with a dangerous tail, who came from the Earth-C US state of "Taxes" (nicknamed the "Lone Stork State"). As such, Armordillo spoke like an Old West gunslinger/outlaw.
** Several Earth-C versions of Texas cities were also mentioned in the series, including "San Antoadio" (San Antonio) and "Hogston" (Houston). Taxes also was the home of historical landmark the Alamole (Alamo).
* ''[[Preacher (Comic Book)]]''. Jesse Custer makes a point of refusing to steal horses, as some obscure Texan point of honor.
