History Main / AmericanEagle

* ''Comicbook/SpiderHam: Hollywood May-Ham'' has a brief appearance by the [[Comicbook/AvengersWestCoast2018 West Coast Scavengers]]. America Chavez's counterpart is an eagle.

* ''ComicBook/{{Blacksad}}'': In an in-universe BMovie about giant ants menacing the States, the President of the United States is portrayed as a bald eagle.

* ''Film/OurManFlint'': Inverted. The Galaxy organization has an ''anti''-American eagle guarding its headquarters: it's trained to detect and attack Americans. After Flint destroys the IslandBase, the last scene in the movie is the eagle soaring over it.

* ''Comicbook/CaptainAmerica'':
** In ''Comicbook/HeroesReborn'', Cap has a stylised eagle on his cowl instead of an A.
** In ''Comicbook/WhatIf Captain America had Fought in the Civil War?'', Cap is given a Native American shield with a stylised eagle that is also a star in the centre. He can also summon an eagle spirit through it.
** In ''Comicbook/CaptainAmericaSamWilson'', Iron Man refers to Sam's falcon Redwing as an eagle. When Sam corrects him, Tony says it's better branding.

* ''ComicBook/MarvelTwoInOne'': American Eagle is a [[BadassNative Navajo superhero]] whose costumes are based on the color scheme of the American flag. His original outfit featured an [[BraidsBeadsAndBuckskins eagle feather war bonnet]] and he has a motorcycle helmet shaped like an eagle's head.

* ''Franchise/WonderWoman'': The top part of Wonder Woman's already patriotic-looking and American-flag-themed outfit is meant to vaguely resemble an eagle.

* In ''Series/{{Peacemaker}}'', Peacemaker has a bald eagle sidekick named [[ADogNamedDog Eagly]]. Because that's just how American he is.

* Chrysler's Eagle division is actually an inversion. Most of the brand's models were captive imports (imported models rebadged with American branding). The only Eagle model that wasn't a rebadged import was the Vision, a rebadged Dodge Intrepid/Chrysler Concorde.

* Two professional sports teams in UsefulNotes/WashingtonDC (the USA's capital) have eagle mascots. The UsefulNotes/NationalHockeyLeague's Washington Capitals have Slapshot, a bald eagle with white stars on his tail feathers (resembling those on the American flag), and the [[UsefulNotes/MLBTeams Major League Baseball team]] the Washington Nationals has a bald eagle named Screech, who made his debut hatching out of a giant egg.

* ''Series/TheMuppetShow'': Sam the Eagle is a walking, talking stereotype of American patriotism and "family values". He's so American that when he plays a British character in ''Film/TheMuppetChristmasCarol'', he starts talking about how business makes America great and has to be reminded by the narrator that he's British.

* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'': Braviary is an eagle Pokémon with feathers in the color of the American flag and a feathered crest reminiscent of a Cheyenne feathered headdress. It's referred to as "the hero of the sky", fights for its friends without any thought of its own safety, and the more scars it has, the more respect it gets from its peers. It was first introduced in ''VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite'', whose Unova region is primarily based on NYC and eastern New Jersey.

There are a number of ways this can be used in fiction. Generally, bald eagles can be used as visual symbols for the United States or expies thereof -- expect a lot of eagle statuary, eagle iconography and pet eagles associated with American buildings, organizations and individuals in these cases. In [[WorldOfFunnyAnimals settings where most or several characters are talking animals]], American ones have a strong tendency to be depicted as bald eagles, and all bald eagles will be American. These characters are almost invariably depicted as outrageous American stereotypes, incredibly patriotic, utterly enamored with America and American values, and deeply distrustful anything deemed anti-American. Notably, however, it's rare to see such characters contrasted with the symbolic animals of other nations, such as the RussianBear.

* ''Art/TheApotheosisOfWashington'': Just below George Washington there's a mighty eagle nearly the size of Lady Liberty attacking a kingly knight, representing America's rebellion against Britain. It even holds arrows and a thunderbolt in hand, just like on the seal of the USA.

* ''Franchise/WonderWoman'': The top part of Wonder Woman's already patriotic looking and American-flag themed outfit is meant to vaguely resemble an eagle.
