Line 26:
** Similarly, before the Jubilee we know debuted, there was an unrelated one-shot character with the same name and power (and even introduced herself with a similar line.) Evidently, it was a "wanted to reuse that character, but it wouldn't work with the way the older story ended" case.
* Fleetway Comics published stories about a kid who played practical jokes on people called...wait for it...[[The Joker|Joker]]. No comment...
* When most comic fans hear the name "Starfire", they think of [[Green-Skinned Space Babe|a hot alien babe with orange skin]], who wears a [[Stripperiffic]] outfit and who is usually [[Most Common Superpower|stacked enough]] to rival [[Power Girl]]. The name also belonged to the Russian hero, Red Star at aone time, a short-lived [[Supergirl]] villain and also a [[Hot Chick with a Sword|sword-wielding female warrior]].
* In the ''Knighfall'' series of ''Batman'' there is a Dr. Simpson Flanders. (No word on whether he greets himself every morning and then tells himself to shut up.)
* DC's Liberty Belle and Blossom's alter ego of the same name in [[The Powerpuff Girls]] episode "Super Zeroes." [[media:Belle1942_3716.jpg|One fights crime]], the other [[media:LibertyBelleBlossom_4975.jpg|gets held up in traffic while trying to fight crime]].
* There is the [[Cult Classic]] ''[[Madman (Comic Book)|Madman]]'' comic and a [[Slasher Film]] from the [[The Eighties|'80s]] called ''[[Madman]]''. They are both very different.
* Do not pick up the award winning graphic novel ''[[Jimmy Corrigan, The Smartest Kid On Earth]]'' expecting Jimmy to have any connection to [[Gotham Central|the Gotham City Police Department]] or [[The Spectre]].
* There seems to be no relation between Cain Marko (aka [[X-Men|The Juggernaut]]) and Flint Marko (aka [[Spider-Man|The Sandman]]), apart from the fact that both have fought [[Spider-Man]] and were co-created by [[Stan Lee]]. Flint Marko's name has since been retconned.
