Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot/Comic Books: Difference between revisions

* [[Requiem Chevalier Vampire]]. Heavy Metal Nazi Vampires fighting [[Mad Scientist]] Mummies, [[The Fundamentalist|Religious Fanatic]] Werewolves, [[Straw Feminist|Feminist]] [[Sky Pirate|Pirate]] Ghouls, Demons and Leprechauns.

* ''[[Hellboy (Comic Book)|Hellboy]]''. A demonic [[Badass Longcoat]] paranormal investigator with a [[Hand Cannon]], who is friends with a fishman, a pyrokinetic chick, a man made of ectoplasm, and a man made of clay.

* Referenced in ''[[Runaways (Comic Book)|Runaways]]'':

** And again with Molly's "Cowboy Werewoofs!"

* A recent issue of ''[[Green Lantern]]'' was described by a reader quoted in Wizard Magazine's letter column as being "Like sex and pizza rolled up in a burrito and served up by Mr. T!"

* [http://superdickery.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&catid=35%3Apropaganda-index&id=918%3Athe-gi-robot-and-the-dinosaur&Itemid=24 The GI Robot and the Dinosaur.] Yeah.

** To wit: G.I. Robot (rill name: J.A.K.E. 2) was but one of the many, ''many'' attempts by American forces to capture Dinosaur Island, which was of incredible strategic value in the Pacific Theatre. Other attempts involved the Creature Commandos, the Suicide Squad, and recruiting three brothers from the circus to be paratroopers. As far as can be seen, Dinosaur Island was never captured by either side.

* [[Nextwave]]

** In the penultimate issue of their series, the squad battled their way through a series of splash pages full of naked ninjas, s&m Iron Man babies, space pirates and hamburger shooting Bruce Campbell Elvis MODOKs. [http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/Nextwave%209.JPG It is exactly as awesome as it sounds.]

* A lot of superhero team books try for this. For example, [[Batman and The Outsiders|the Outsiders]] consisted of [[Royals Who Actually Do Something|Geo]][[Dishing Out Dirt|Force,]] [[Elemental Embodiment|Metamorpho,]] [[Katanas Are Better|Katana,]] [[Shock and Awe|Black Lightning,]] [[Heroic Sociopath|Halo,]] and [[Friendly Neighborhood Vampires|Looker.]] A team of crimefighters assembled by [[Batman|the Goddamn Batman]] to act as a sort of black ops JLA.

* [[The Hood]], current villain in ''New Avengers'' is a Demonic Possessed Magician Crimelord With A Hard Past, that orders an army of supervillains.

* The new spin-off from the [[Justice League of America]], ''Cry For Justice'', has a team made up of [[Green Lantern]], a pilot with [[Imported Alien Phlebotinum]], [[Green Arrow]], a modern day [[Robin Hood]], Ray Palmer, a scientist who has the ability to shrink himself at will, and who just came back from an [[Alternate Universe]], the former [[Captain Marvel]] Jr., a boy powered by the power of the gods, [[Batwoman]], a kick-ass lesbian ninja, [[Supergirl]] and [[Starman (Comic Book)|Mikaal Tomas]], two [[Human Aliens]], the latter of which is is gay, and finally Congorilla, an explorer whose mind is trapped in the body of a [[Everything's Better With Monkeys|gorilla]].

* The Mandarin, one part Mad Scientist, one part Evil Kung Fu Grandmaster! Oh, and he wears the pimp-bling of alien space-dragons!

* ''Cowboy Ninja Viking'' seems to be [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin]], but not really. He is actually a Badass with Multiple Identity Disorder. {{spoiler|Another character is the same, except for being a Pirate Gladiator Oceanographer.}}

* The sequel comic book series of ''[[The Incredibles]]'' has a robotic Tyrannosaurus rex with a tophat and a monocle as a prominent member of the [[Legion of Doom|Confederacy of Crime]].

* [http://www.lileks.com/institute/funny/10/179.html This comic book cover.] [[Dual-Wielding]] [[Semper Fi|Marines]] on [[Hula and Luaus|surfboards]]!

* An issue of the current ''[[House of Mystery]]'' series featured one character's gloriously deranged idea for a screenplay, about a [[Pirate]]-[[Ninja]]-[[Our Vampires Are Different|vampire]] [[Everything's Better With Monkeys|gorilla]] fighting [[Evil Sorcerer|magic-using]] [[Everything's Better With Dinosaurs|dinosaurs]] in space, after Earth was rendered uninhabitable due to [[Zombie Apocalypse|zombies]] and [[AI Is a Crapshoot|killer robots]]. But that simple description doesn't capture the sheer dementedness of the story, which [[Genre Shift|shifts genre]] violently every time the narrator remembers a really cool bit he forgot to mention previously.
