* ''WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers'': In ''ComicBook/TheSimpsons'' the episode "The "[[Recap/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteersS1E24And25TwoFutures Two Futures]]", Wheeler wishes in a fit of pique to never have received the [[RingOfPower Fire Ring]], travels in time, and stops his past self from becoming a Planeteer, thus creating an AlternateTimeline in which the villains (namely Hoggish Greedly and his sidekick Rigger) used time travel for their own profit. As such, Gaia has him sent thirty-five years into the BadFuture, so he can see the consequences. Once there, Wheeler tries to convince his friends' embittered older counterparts to make another effort to save the planet, but fails each time, so he decides to go to Hope Island and talk to Gaia. Upon finding her [[DeadAlternateCounterpart lying lifelessly]] among toxic waste (courtesy of the villains), he drops to his knees and effectively [[PleaseWakeUp begs her to not be dead]]. However, a moment later, Greedly shows up and coldly makes it clear to him that it's ''not'' going to work.
-->'''Wheeler:''' Not you, Gaia! You're the Spirit of the Earth!\\
'''Hoggish Greedly''' ''(from behind Wheeler):'' She WAS the Spirit of Earth. Past tense, kid.

** The basic premise of the work is that Izuku [[ForWantOfANail reaches out to several underground heroes]] after the Sludge Villain incident, using his analytical skills to help them out. Said heroes initially assume that he's a retired Pro who was supplementing the information they sent him with first-hand knowledge drawn from his long career, strengthened by the Quirk they naturally presume he has. Thus, the first time he meets with the underground heroes in person results in him dropping several bombshells at once, as they learn he's a Quirkless teenager whose skilled analyses were based entirely upon whatever intel they sent him.
