* The ''Webcomic/RageComics'' have the "[[https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/006/548/freddy.jpg Freddie Mercury pose]]" which means an awesome victory, and even has a variant, the "[[http://weknowmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/freddie-mercury-so-close-pose1.jpg So close pose]]".

* [[https://venturebrothers.fandom.com/wiki/Mr._Fahrenheit Mr. Fahrenheit]], the Supersonic Man from ''WesternAnimation.TheVentureBros'', is obviously ''meant'' to be Freddie "in real life" but with WritingAroundTrademarks. Seeing as the last RealLife person they used was ''Music/DavidBowie'', who then subsequently ... died in RealLife during production of the show.. They probably wanted to avoid similar issues. Despite him appearing in a FlashBack in the 80's.

* One of the most remembered secondary characters from ''Manga/CromartieHighSchool'' is a foreign man known only as "Freddie" for his undeniable resemblance to Mercury (lampshaded and [[TheNicknamer nicknamed by Takashi Kamiyama]]), having the look of a Caucasian man with a prominent moustache and short hair. This becomes UpToEleven in the GenderBender chapter where Cromartie is a [[OneGenderSchool girl-only school]] (and parody of ''LightNovel/MariaSamaGaMiteru''), where Freddie appears in his "I Want To Break Free" drag costume. Funnily enough, Freddie doesn't speak ''at all'' throughout the series, let alone sing, although the "whistling episode" starts with Mechazawa attending a concert of his - we don't hear him sing, but he has all the stage moves ([[LimitedAnimation for a given value of movement]]) down pat.

* Grand Regent Thragg from ComicBook/Invincible basically looks like a roided-up and evil '80s Freddie.

* One of the most successful Queen tribute bands is the Argentinian "Dios Salve a la Reina" (God Save the Queen), which Freddie's performance of Pablo Padin was praised as one of the most faithful interpretations before Creator/RamiMalek in ''Film/BohemianRhapsody''. They're so famous worldwide that even has [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_Save_the_Queen_(band) its own article]] in Wiki/TheOtherWiki.

This becomes UpToEleven in the GenderBender chapter where Cromartie is a [[OneGenderSchool girl-only school]] (and parody of ''LightNovel/MariaSamaGaMiteru''), where Freddie appears in his "I Want To Break Free" drag costume.

* On the internet, there's also the "[[CompositeCharacter Sailor Mercury]]", that mixes the eponymous ''Manga/SailorMoon'' character (Ami Mizuno's SuperpoweredAlterEgo) with Freddie, character that even had received various {{cosplay}}s in events.

* The recent years also show the MemeticMutation of "EO", the chorus Freddie made during his concerts when the people follow him also seen in the biopic. This becomes a meme when various characters with a moustache (being expies or not) are added the "EO" and [[InstantTropes voilá Freddie Mercopies]]. Or even without the moustache as [[https://a.wattpad.com/cover/177403735-288-k209274.jpg this image]] of [[WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}} Lord Farquaad]].

* Overlapping with SailorSenshiSendUp, there's "[[https://io9.gizmodo.com/sailor-freddie-mercury-is-the-queen-of-mashup-costumes-1457370357 Sailor Freddie Mercury]]", a mashup of Mercury with Sailor Mercury from ''Anime/SailorMoon''.

** Eagle from ''VideoGame/StreetFighterI'' was first made for this game as an {{expy}} of the bodyguard Petrov from Creator/BruceLee's ''Film/FistOfFury'', but his comeback in ''VideoGame/CapcomVsSNK2MarkOfTheMillennium'' and the portable versions of ''VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha 3'' was a direct {{homage}} to Freddie, having various of his mannerisms and {{Catch Phrase}}s like "The Show Must Go On" and "No Time For Losers". Even further, his winquotes in Japanese version makes him a StraightGay, who insinuates him to male characters he fought.

This trope is for those StockParodies or {{Exp|y}}ies based on the historical Queen frontman. The most common look is the "clone" one Freddie used in TheEighties, with short hair combed back, a prominent moustache, and sometimes one of the more iconic costumes, most often that from the 1986 Wembley concert with [[http://i.imgur.com/ssPFYvl.jpg white t-shirt and pants and yellow leather jacket]]. Some examples uses his look from TheSeventies, [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/d8/f4/02/d8f40212a024ac1f1f95bfebbbe59d69.png clean-shaven with long hair and chest-exposing leotards]]. Extra points if the character is CampGay and/or a LargeHam.

* In ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'', there's Han, the Third Rashou of Shura and one of the [[[WorthyOpponent Worthy Ppponents]] Kenshiro has to fight with, who also appears in the episode 126 of the 1984 anime. He was modeled after Freddie sporting his look from TheEighties, but also seems based on Creator/ClarkGable and/or Andy Hug. Mercury's status as a sex symbol appears to be referenced by the guidebook "All about the Man", listing Han as one of the handsomest man in the series.

** Instead of one, there're two expies in ''Anime/DragonBallZ'', specifically in the ''Buu Saga'': At the beginning, the sports teacher has Son Gohan and Videl in their class resembles Freddie, especially when [[https://i.chzbgr.com/full/6363412480/h293CF7F4/ he used a black swearshirt]]; the second one is at the end, when Trunks in the Tenkaichi Tournament fights against a CampGay fighter with a black leather hat, short hair and moustache, which also resembles him (as well Leather Man from Music/VillagePeople).
** Also, some fans speculated Vegeta's change of look in ''Anime/DragonBallGT'' (short hair and moustache) could be based on Freddie, too.
