* The [[All-Star Squadron]] were based in the Trylon and Perisphere from the 1939 New York's World Fair. The Perisphere was their headquarters, and the Trylon was their [[Cool Garage]].

* In [[Peter David]]'s [[Spy Boy]], the "good" spy team (this troper can never remember if they were S.H.I.R.T.S or S.K.I.N.S) had their invisible headquarters suspended between the tops of the twin towers of the World Trade Center. (This got moved later, for obvious reasons.)

* In ''[[Invincible]]'' spinoff ''Guarding the Globe'', Cecil shows team leader Brit around a new Guardians of the Globe satellite ~~base -- inside~~ Big Ben.

** [[Conspiracy Theorist~~|Conspiracy Theorists~~]] might also get a shudder at the inclusion of the Duga-3 Over-The-Horizon-Radar array's inclusion, known in Number Station circles as the Russian Woodpecker, suspected [[Government Conspiracy|by some]] as being a [[Mind Control Device]] or [[Weather Control Machine]]. In the series, [[All Myths Are True|it does both.]]
