* The [[Usefulnotes/NationalBasketballAssociation Golden State Warriors]] had starting in the mid-90s the superhero Thunder, who was even in the team logo. Then the Seattle franchise was relocated and renamed Oklahoma City Thunder, and [[OneSteveLimit for obvious reasons]] Thunder had to go. The Warriors haven't bothered replacing him.

** In 2012, the Brooklyn Nets, as part of their relocation from UsefulNotes/NewJersey, introduced a superhero [=/=] knight-themed mascot, the [[{{Pun}} Brooklyn Knight]] (who was even co-created by Creator/MarvelComics themselves)! Unfortunately, [[https://www.sbnation.com/lookit/2014/7/9/5886279/a-farewell-to-brooklyknight-the-brooklyn-nets-awful-mascot the Brooklyn Knight was retired two years later]], largely because [[UnintentionalUncannyValley his black and silver costume failed]] to [[KidAppealCharacter resonate with children]].

** Starting in [[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite Gen V]], Zoroark was intended to be the mascot of the generation much like Lucario was, even making an EarlyBirdCameo in the 13th movie, being one of the first Gen V Pokemon introduced, and it was a secret event Pokemon in the first set of Gen V games. While Lucario retained its popularity and continued to be popular afterwards, Zoroark eventually lost this special status, became a gift Pokemon in the sequels, and has since just been available regularly in the wild ever since without much special attention brought to it, although the line did receive Hisuian variants in ''Legends Arceus''.
