* In the second volume of ''ComicBook/AmazingFantasy'', one of the last characters to be introduced was a sheriff who was revived from death by [[EmergencyTransformation being turned into a cyborg]]. His "hero name" was Steam Rider, and he also had a robot horse. He has made a few cameos in group shots of Marvel's western heroes since (and eventually appeared as a [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot ghostly cyborg sheriff]] in ''ComicBook/WarOfTheRealms: Journey Into Mystery'').

This setting is unusual among the PunkPunk subtropes in that it actually predates SteamPunk, which is generally considered the ur-trope. For this we can thank ''Series/TheWildWildWest'', which pioneered the genre by thinking in terms of TheWestern meets SpyFiction (when gadget-heavy ''Film/JamesBond'' films were all the rage) -- which, in practice, ends up looking a lot like {{Steampunk}}. It is worth noting that stories in either western or steamppunk tend to fit into roughly the same time period historically -- between the mid 19th and early 20th centuries.
