* In an issue of ''[[Batman and the Outsiders|Outsiders]]'', the clone [[My God, What Have I Done?|shoots himself out of horror]] after being shown films of the "accomplishments" of his predecessor. Turns out clones aren't really the same person the original was. [[Sarcasm Mode|How surprising.]] |

* Comes up by name in "THEY CLONED HITLER'S FEET", a story in [[Dark Horse]]'s [[Flaming Carrot]] comics. An obvious riff on the cinematic 'gem' ''[[They Saved Hitler's Brain|They Saved Hitlers Brain]]'', this story features an army of jackboots that goosestep around and fight the heroes by kicking them. |

* In the ''[[The Man from U.N.C.L.E.]]'' episode "The Deadly Games Affair", a former SS scientist attempts to reanimate the body of Adolf Hitler. Since it was written in 1964, the episode makes this perfectly clear without ever actually mentioning the name Hitler. |
