Line 104:
* Hank Scorpio was originally going to be the villain of ''[[The Simpsons Movie]]'', but instead, the movie has a different character, Russ Cargill. The two have the same voice actor (Albert Brooks), some of Cargill's lines sound like the kind of thing Scorpio might say, and both are pretty Bond-villainish.
* When created for the ''[[Spider-Man]] and his Amazing Friends'' cartoon, Firestar's civilian identity bore a resemblance to Mary Jane Watson. The resemblance was actually remarked upon in the comics some time later. Likewise, her superhero powers make her a clear Expy of The Human Torch, the only difference being the gender swap to give Spidey an Amazing Female Friend.
* Mom from ''[[Futurama]]'' is very similar to Mr. Burns from ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'' since both are rich, ill-tempered, and emaciated.
** In a crossover comic [[Crossover Ship|they hooked up for a while]].
* As pointed out by [https://web.archive.org/web/20140312184851/http://www.agonybooth.com/recaps/Quest_for_Camelot_1998.aspx?Page=2 The Agony Booth], [https://web.archive.org/web/20130924131702/http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic/17979-quest-for-camelot the Nostalgia Critic] and [[Lauren Faust]] (who worked on the film as an animator) [[Quest for Camelot|Kayley]] is, both looks and personality-wise, [[Beauty and The Beast|Belle]]. Faust, [http://www.donbluthanimation.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1619 commenting]{{Dead link}} on the similarity, goes even further and points out that Garret looks like the human form of the Beast.
