History NinjaPirateZombieRobot / RealLife

* [[BiologicalMashUp The Platypus]]. Part beaver, part duck, part lizard, mildly venomous. [[AwesomeAussie All Australian]].

*** Five of those six things can be summed up as: makes music and appears on TV.

** BenjaminFranklin. Founding Father of the United States of America... and inventor of the lightning rod, among many other crafts!
** The term "Renaissance Man" has also been used to describe polymaths, as some of the more famous Renaissance-era men tended to be polymaths. Leonardo da Vinci was both a painter and an inventor in a wide range of studies including medicine, architecture and even what we would now call robotics. Michelangelo was a painter, sculptor and architect. Galileo was an astronomer and worked on improving several astronomical charting devices such as telescopes and compasses. Nicolaus Copernicus may take the cake though. He was an astronomer, jurist, mathematician, artist, translator, governor, diplomat, economist, a scholar of the classics, physician and topped it off by speaking four languages.

** Chinese guerillas take it a bit further by using captured Japanese weapons.

** Even the ''weapons themselves'' were mash-ups. One Chinese warlord had his soldiers use the German C96 as a sidearm, but had a surplus of .45 ACP for his copies of American Thompson SMG's. Thus he created the Shanxi Type 17, a C96 in the .45 caliber. A Chinese-made version of a German-made pistol firing an American-made pistol cartridge.

** Let's not forget Woody Allen, who according to Wikipedia is: "an award-winning American film director, writer, actor, jazz musician, comedian and playwright". And a philanthropist, and even had sex with his (adopted) daughter.

** BenjaminFranklin, of course. Founding Father of the United States of America... and inventor of the lightning rod, among many other crafts!

* The [[EldritchAbomination vampire squid]], [[ParanoiaFuel an actual animal that lives in the deep ocean]]. The squid's scientific name is ''Vampyroteuthis infernalis'', which literally means 'vampire squid ''from hell'''.
** It's basically harmless, though. Don't let the spiky cape-tentacles fool you.

* Real Historical Ninja clans usually associated themselves with particular warlords. Now, those who were unlucky enough to service warlords on the losing side, often ended up getting kicked out from their home villages and in general become outlaw and brigands. Some of them, especially those who specialized in water-based guerrilla warfare, ended up pursuing...Piracy. That's right. Real, historical Ninja-Pirates.

* Depending on which rumors/stories/theories/books you believe, Christopher Marlowe was a playwriting Catholic [[AmbiguouslyGay gay]] Atheist double-agent spy who [[HesJustHiding came back from the dead]] to write {{Shakespeare}}'s plays.

** Benjamin Franklin, of course. Founding Father of the United States of America... and inventor of the lightning rod, among many other crafts!

* Voytek the soldier bear, a nazi-killing, drinking and smoking bear that fought for the Polish army. Never have I been more proud to be Polish.

*** So: makes movies and plays clarinet.

* Look at any (voice)actor's career, and imagine them as a mashup of characters they've played. For example: FredTatasciore is a [[FalloutNewVegas cross-dressing schizophrenic]] [[AlphaProtocol corporate executive]] [[{{Starcraft}} psychic]] [[Left4Dead zombie]] [[TransformersWarForCybertron robot]] [[MassEffect2 prison warden]] [[MassEffect brainwashed villain]]-slash-[[AssassinsCreed assassin]] [[WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}} man-fish]].

* Christopher Marlowe: [[AmbiguouslyGay gay]], Catholic/[[{{Atheism}} Atheist]], playwriting spy. Who might have [[HesJustHiding come back from the dead]] to write the entire {{Shakespeare}} Canon.

** HattoriHanzo himself. Believe it or not, this legendary {{Ninja}} actually considers ninjutsu and ninja-ism a ''secondary'' profession, he's more of a Samurai in service of TokugawaIeyasu. Yep, he's both ''ninja and samurai'' in the same time. Funny that his secondary profession is the one that gets infamous.
