Line 52:
** [[Dwayne McDuffie]] ended up creating the ''[[Icon]]'' character Buck Wild as a parody of this trend.
* '''Adam X the X-Treme,''' from the early, well, [[Dark Age|guess which decade]], who was almost made a ''completely unignorable'' [[Old Shame]] by virtue of being ''the third Summers brother''. Fortunately, he vanished before the writers revealed that, and it ended up being someone completely different about a decade later. He hasn't disappeared completely, considering a few recent appearances - and it's still entirely possible he's the ''fourth'' Summers brother, if only a half-brother.
* Occasionally employed in a self-aware manner by ''[[Astro City]]''
** [[Word of God]] is that the Bouncing Beatnik actually changes identities to match social trends of the time. There's been three known (in-universe) incarnations of the Beatnik, though only two have appeared in stories to date.
** The "Dark Ages" story arc references the kung fu fad of the '70s with the Jade Dragons, and the space race with the Apollo Eleven.
