Line 18:
** Atlas/Seaboard comics published ''Vicki'' circa 1975... a feature that itself consisted of slightly-updated reprints of ''another'' Archie expy, ''Tippy Teen'', which had been published by Tower Comics in the '60s.
* Jeremy from the ''[[Angel]]''/''Spike'' comics is an Expy of Jim from ''[[The Office]]''.
* When [[Alan Moore]] began work on ''[[Watchmen]]'', the plan was to use all of the characters DC purchased from [[Charlton Comics]], but editors ultimately put the kibosh on that, so he had to create new ones. In a great sense of cyclical cosmic irony, [[The Question]] was a little known C-Stringer who inspired Moore's Rorschach, who then in turn inspired [[Justice League (animation)|JLU's]] version of The Question, which worked so well it turned him into a major player again.
** Similarly, ''[[Final Crisis]]: Superman Beyond 3D'' features Captain Adam, an alternate universe version of [[Captain Atom]] who's a clear Expy of Dr Manhattan, ''Watchmen'''s [[Captain Atom]] Expy.
*** The Comedian is meant to be Peace Maker.
