* The Batmen of All Nations are each named after their culture's historic warrior archetype, and wears a costume based on that: the Knight and Squire of Britain, the Musketeer of France, the Ranger and Scout of Australia, the Legionary of Italy, and El Guacho of Argentina. ''ComicBook/BatmanGrantMorrison'' revealed that several of them had moved away from the archetypes since their last appearance, and then reinvented the concept entirely as ''Batman Incorporated''. ''Batman Incorporated'' also reveals that the Knight used to be a member of a group called the Victory Vs, led by Mr. Albion, named after an old name for the island of Britain, and [[WearingAFlagOnYourHead wearing a George's Cross on his chest]].

** When Comicbook/NormanOsborn came up with the Iron Patriot, he did so by wearing a reverse-engineered Comicbook/IronMan armor with a red-white-and-blue paint job... Which ironically made it look like the flag of ''Cuba'' (blue and white stripes and the infamous star-shaped arc reactor upon a red chestplate). Later versions, like Comicbook/WarMachine's, give it a color scheme similar to that seen in ''Film/IronMan3'', more in line with the Old Glory.

* DC Comics had a team of America-themed super ''villains'': [[StealthPun The Force Of July]], enemies of ComicBook/BatmanAndTheOutsiders. They considered themselves heroes, but were too extremist (and manipulated by a rich superpatriot type.)

** Odd mini-reference from the "Marvel Zombies: Volume 3": "Captain Mexica," an alternate-universe version of Captain America (duh) from Earth-1519 "Aztec Empire never fell." Aztec-themed costume, little stylized "thingies" on his ears instead of wings, speaks in (presumably) Aztec heiroglyphics.
