Line 203:
* In ''Night Probe'' (part of the [[NUMA Series]]), the British bring one of their old spies out of retirement, who had changed his name to Brian Shaw to avoid assassination attempts. It is strongly implied that Shaw is actually James Bond.
* The [[Bernice Summerfield]] novel ''Ship Of Fools'' by Dave Stone features a 25th century space-liner filled with [[Great Detective]]s [[In Space]], including Emil Dupont ([[Hercule Poirot]]) and Khaarli of Czhanos ([[Charlie Chan]]).
* The ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?|Roger Rabbit]]'' short story "[https://web.archive.org/web/20121003145308/http://mysite.verizon.net/garykwolf/Staytoonedfolks/Staytoonedfolks.pdf Stay Tooned Folks]" features such toons as Sir Lanced Alot (an [[Prince Valiant (Comic Strip)|Arthurian knight with a bowl haircut]]), Poopdeck the Pirate (a [[Popeye (comic strip)|bulging-armed, spinach eating sailor]]) and (in a sort of double-whammy) [[Krazy Kat|Dr Ignatz Cats]], [[Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist|Head Shrinker to the Muckety Mucks]].
* [[Michael Chabon]]'s novella ''The Final Solution'' is about a retired detective who, while never named, is clearly [[Sherlock Holmes]].
* A major element of [[Neil Gaiman]]'s short story ''The Problem of Susan'' is that the character of "Professor Hastings" could be a much older [[The Chronicles of Narnia|Susan Pevensie]] (Hastings also being just along the coast from Pevensey, Sussex), although the narrative never outright confirms it.
Line 228:
* ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' features the [[Star Wars|Death Egg]] as Eggman's ultimate weapon to destroy Sonic.
* ''[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|Pokémon Platinum]]'' features a detective [[Doctor Who|who talks weird, shows up in a lot of places, wears a long, brown coat and gives the player futuristic equipment]].
** Actually, Pokémon makes quite a few references. For starters, [https://web.archive.org/web/20130502040603/http://www.pokefarm.com/wp-content/rotom.jpg Rotom] is based off of [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a9/Pulseman_box_art.jpg Pulseman] and Volt Tackle is based off of Voltman's signature move. It helps that the creator of Pokémon also made Pulseman, however. Anything outside of that is rare.
* In ''[[Romancing SaGa 3|Romancing Sa ga 3]]'', there is a Zorro-esque character called Robin, and in the credits, said character pulls off Zorro's infamous Z cut (Strongest Foil technique)
* The first print versions of ''[[Shinobi|The Revenge of Shinobi]]'' for the [[Sega Genesis]] featured [[Spider-Man]], [[Batman]], The [[Terminator (franchise)|Terminator]], and [[Godzilla]] as some of Joe Musashi's adversaries. To avoid any potential lawsuits, Sega released a revision of the game which replaces Godzilla with a metal skeletal dinosaur and Batman with a winged bat-like creature. Spider-Man was kept as an official cameo (with a new copyrights screen acknowledging Marvel Comics' ownership of the character), since Sega had the Spider-Man license for a couple of other games (namely the ''Spider-Man'' arcade game and the Genesis game ''Spider-Man vs. The Kingpin''). In the Virtual Console rerelease, Spider-Man is now colored pink (Due to Sega losing the rights to use Spider-Man to Activision). Ironically, The Terminator has appeared in all versions of ''The Revenge of Shinobi''.
