** One '70s-era story had him battling the '''C'''ommittee to '''R'''estore '''A'''merica's '''P'''rinciples, a [[No Celebrities Were Harmed|thinly-veiled]] vesion of the '''C'''ommittee to '''RE'''-'''E'''lect the '''P'''resident (see below). Assemble the acronym yourself, and remember that "to" doesn't count...
** He also fights the '''U'''nderground '''L'''iberated '''T'''otally '''I'''ntegrated '''M'''obile '''A'''rmy '''T'''o '''U'''nite '''M'''ankind.
** The giant robot T.E.S.S.-One, '''T''' otal '''E'''limitantion '''O'''f '''S'''uper '''S'''oldiers, ([[I Call It Vera| Called "Tessie"]] by some villains who have used it.) Ironically, this was built by the same government agency that was behind the Super Soldier program that gave Cap his powers, intended to be a failsafe in case their Soldiers ever turned against them. T.E.S.S.-One itself, however, tends to be used as a pawn of Cap's enemies.
* The [[Marvel Universe]] has '''S.H.I.E.L.D.''', Nick Fury's UN-backed paramilitary and intelligence organization. The acronym originally stood for '''S'''upreme '''H'''eadquarters, '''I'''nternational '''E'''spionage, '''L'''aw-'''E'''nforcement '''D'''ivision but this was changed in the early nineties to stand for '''S'''trategic '''H'''azard '''I'''ntervention, '''E'''spionage and '''L'''ogistics '''D'''irectorate. Within the confines of the [[Ultimate Marvel|Ultimate Marvel Universe]], Ultimate [[Spider-Man]] has admitted that he has ''no clue'' what S.H.I.E.L.D. stands for, even though he has regular encounters with them and Nick Fury.
** And in the recent movies it stands for '''S'''trategic '''H'''omeland '''I'''ntervention, '''E'''nforcement and '''L'''ogistics '''D'''ivision.
