{{quote|'''Hank''': Is it me, or does like every Nazi want to clone Hitler? It's like the only thing they think of!
Line 16:
* One of these shows up in the ''[[Spriggan]]'' manga. He was very unhappy.
* In the [[Gag Dub]] of ''[[Shin Chan]]'' there is a character named... you guessed it, Dr. [[Hitler Clone]].
** Subverted: {{spoiler|He's really a robot. Still sounds and acts just like the fuhrer, though.}}
* One of the clones in ''[[Afterschool Charisma]]'' is Hitler who feels obligated to accept punishment for the sins of the real [[Adolf Hitler]], which goes part with the theme that some of these clones do not want to turn out like their originals.
* In ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ]]'' it is revealed that Glemmy Toto is a clone of {{spoiler|[[Mobile Suit Gundam|Gihren Zabi]], himself a [[Captain Ersatz]] of Hitler}}. He's a scheming, manipulative little bastard, who uses his [[Stepford Smiler|superficial]] [[The Charmer|charm]] to manouvere himself into greater and greater positions of power.

** Luckily, that wasn't Superman. It was [[Atop the Fourth Wall|Bearded]] [[In Name Only|Idiot.]]
{{quote|'''Scientist 1:''' Hey, Steve! You wanna clone Hitler?
Line 30:
* The [[Marvel Universe]] villain Hatemonger is a Hitler clone. At least one of them. His supervillain costume is a [[Fashion Victim Villain|purple Ku Klux Klan outfit]].
* 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.]]
* Has happened a few times in Marvel Comics. In one notable instance, [[Captain America (comics)]] actually teamed up with Nazi supervillain the Red Skull to ''stop'' such an attempt, because the Skull wasn't interested in Hitler coming back and taking charge again.
* 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.
Line 47:
* An episode of [[The Nineties]] remake of ''[[The Professionals]]'' played this trope painfully straight, with a bunch of old crypto-Nazi bad guys planning to clone Hitler '' from his finger, which one of them managed to cut off somehow a few days before Berlin fell.
* In ''[[Wonder Woman (TV series)|The New Adventures of Wonder Woman]]'' episode "Anschluss '77" (1977), a group of South American neo-Nazis .. you guessed it ... cloned Hitler.
* There's a ''[[Mr. Show]]'' sketch about how, once human cloning technology had been invented, the world immediately set about mass-producing Hitlers, but forced them to be slaves to Jewish families.
* 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.
Line 57:
== Tabletop Games ==
* ''[[Genius: The Transgression]]'': Every time someone kills Hitler, the [[Time Police]] agents clone a new one to enforce [[Hitler's Time Travel Exemption Act]]. (They have a problem with officers committing suicide afterwards.)
** Originally it wasn't even Hitler in the position, but after Hitler was killed they realised it would be easier to start cloning than find yet another replacement.
