* The Immortal of ''[[Invincible (Comic Book)|Invincible]]'' went by [[Abraham Lincoln]] at one point. And yes, he ''did'' serve as president.

** [[Illuminatus]]! co-author Robert Anton Wilson later went on to pen an introduction to the ''Principia Discordia'' claiming that the book's author was actually a "time-travelling anthropologist from the 23rd Century," who "has visited Earth many times in the past, using such cover-identities as Zeno of Elias, Emperor Norton, Count Cagliostro, Guilliame of Aquaitaine, etc."
* In his longest work "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward", [[
* In [[David Gemmell]]'s ancient Greek adventure, The Lion of Macedon, the philosopher [[Aristotle (Creator)|Aristotle]] is revealed to be a {{spoiler|time traveling Magus}}. At the end of that book's sequel, Dark Prince, it is all but overtly stated that he is {{spoiler|[[Leonardo Da Vinci]]}}.
* In [[The Night Angel Trilogy]], Acaelus Thorne, also known as Durzo Blint, Gaelan Starfire, and quite a few other aliases, has been the hero of just about every single historical legend told on his home continent for the past seven hundred years.
