Line 30:
** In a ''[[The Savage Dragon]]'' crossover with ''Hellboy'', it was discovered that the [[Brain In a Jar|brain]] used by Brainiape, a [[Everything's Better with Monkeys|gorilla]] with a powerful [[Psychic Powers|psychic brain]], was none other than Hitler's.
** When the brain leaped up and started walking, that's when the heroes called it...
* [[The DCU]] retconned away "[https://web.archive.org/web/20120524202050/http://superdickery.com/index.php?view=article&catid=35%3Apropaganda:propaganda-index&id=846%3Asuperman:superman-joins-the-army&option=com_content&Itemid=24 Why] didn't [[Superman]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20120524202506/http://superdickery.com/index.php?view=article&catid=35%3Apropaganda:propaganda-index&id=841%3Asuperman:superman-on-top-of-the-world&option=com_content&Itemid=24 kick Hitler's ass]?" by [[Hand Wave|explaining that]] Hitler had [[Retcon|used the Spear of Destiny]] to brainwash any American hero who entered Germany's borders (In some stories, this extends to the entire Eastern Hemisphere) and send them off to attack the US.
** A [[Post-Crisis]] explanation says the Spear simply turns off super-human powers whenever a superhuman enters territory controlled by the Germans. So the JSA was just a bunch of normal guys if they got 'zapped'.
* In the [[Marvel Universe]], Hitler was [[Cloning Blues|cloned multiple times]] by a geneticist named Arnim Zola and repeatedly [[Body Surf|transferred his mind from body to body]]. In most of these bodies, he called himself the "Hate-Monger", wielded a "hate ray" that could [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|manipulate people's emotions]], and wore a costume that looked something like a purple version of the Klan's getup. Marvel eventually tried to distance themselves from the Hate-Monger by having him [[Sealed Evil in a Can|transfer his mind]] into a [[Artifact of Doom|Cosmic Cube]] that didn't actually work. [[Death Is Cheap|This being comics]], even Hitler couldn't stay dead forever, though.... Marvel has also raised the question of whether this is "really Hitler" or "just a mental copy of Hitler", which somehow never comes up when it's someone else using Zola's process (such as Zola himself).
Line 66:
* This is how the HYDRA rises to power in ''[[Captain America: The First Avenger|Captain America the First Avenger]]''. Originally just a sort of black ops division for the Nazi forces, when they find the Tesseract (a.k.a. Cosmic Cube) in Norway things take a drastic turn as they develop [[Stupid Jetpack Hitler|hyper-advanced weapons systems]] like [[Fricking Laser Beams]] that can instantly vaporize their targets or all the [[Cool Plane]]s that the Nazis designed but never managed to build.
* Parodied in ''[[Night Train to Munich]]:'' John Fredericks: Occultist and Ophthalmic Surgeon
* ''[[Blood Vessel]]'' is a movie set during World War II, where some stranded British soldiers find an abandoned German minesweeper adrift in the middle of the ocean, which of course [[Ghost Ship| is not really abandoned]], as [[Those Wacky Nazis]] had looted a tomb with cursed artifacts that housed a vampire. Interestingly, it seems these Nazis were prepared for vampires, as the supply room has wooden stakes, garlic, holy water, and all that stuff, but it seems they weren't as prepared as they'd hoped.

Line 175:
* In ''[[Marble Witch]]'' the Nazis use warwitches and dragons. Then again, so do most of the belligerents.
* In the [[Whateley Universe]], supervillain The Necromancer has actually reminisced about doing occult evil for the Nazis. Although he didn't get that unstoppable zombie army up and running (shambling?) in time.
* The Ahnenerbe Obskuraorps, named after their founder (loosely based on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahnenerbe Ahnenerbe], a real life Nazi think tank who had tryied to prove the supremacy of the Germanic race with Pseudoarchaeology and Pseudohistory) was this to the ''[[SCP Foundation]]''. Led by a man named Konrad Weiss, they sought to develop “Aryan magic” in order to truly perfect the “master race”, and sought to rewrite the rules of magic itself, attempting to gather seven magical keys in a project dubbed the Rite of Solomon. After failing to procure the seventh (it was inside a golem, and they proved unable to catch it) Weiss tried to recreate it himself, but when it was clear Germany was losing the war, he wisely decided to stop trying to control “Jewish art” and create his own version of the keys. He managed to do this, but the Foundation stopped the ritual, and Weiss turned states’ evidence.
** OBSKURA is a successor to the original group which is still active in the modern day, made up of Nazi war criminals led by an unknown individual that is supposedly an heir to Hitler himself. Mostly their schemes revolve around finding magical artifacts, and are rumored to possess the Lance of Longinus (the spear that pierced the side of Jesus as he hung on the cross) and Mjölnir (the hammer of the Norse thunder deity Thor).
