- The Avengers Series 1, #57. After the Avengers (with their newfound ally the Vision) defeat Ultron, an epilogue features a boy discovering Ultron's deactivated head, kicking it around like a football and discarding it, outlined by the text of Shelley's "Ozymandias".
Fan Works
- In the Star Trek: Voyager fanfic "The Flux of Mortal Things", Seven of Nine recalls Ozymandias while exploring a derelict Borg vessel.
Live Action TV
- Doctor Who. The Master says, "Look upon my work, Doctor, and despair!" while Evil Gloating over the destruction of Gallifrey in "The Timeless Children". Ironically the Doctor had met Percy Shelley just a couple of episodes before in "The Haunting of Villa Diodati", during which lines from Queen Mab were quoted by The Lone Cyberman.
- Isaac Asimov's The Rest of the Robots: The introduction starts with a "Great Man" and his "little woman", which refers to Percy Bysshe Shelley and Mary Shelley. The familiarity of his stories Adonais, Ode To The West Wind, and The Cenci are contrasted against her more famous story, Frankenstein.
- In one of the Wing Commander novels, the sight of a magnificent Kilrathi temple standing alone in the middle of a desert causes a Terran pilot to think of Ozymandias.
- Hark! A Vagrant:
- Lord Byron appears as a particularly horny but "nice" man while Mary Shelley is mourning the death of her child. Things are not helped when Percy Bysshe Shelley can't figure out why his wife is so upset and doesn't want to sleep with his friends.
- Byron is more concerned about how attractive the harbinger of death was in Percy Shelly's dream, than trying to assuage his unsettled friend.
- Questionable Content: At the Coffee of Doom, one of the pictures on the walls is a painting of a stone foot with a speech balloon reading, "I'm Ozymandias. LOL"
