List of Pop Culture in the Chaos Fiction Universe

## **Film**

Republic Serials never went out of style (implied in *Watchmen*)

**Kochila vs. Heonande-**A 1989 film that is part of the Kochila series, known as Reptar vs Biolante in english.

**Batman-**A 1989 film starring Jaichel Nilton (Jack Nicholson) and Michael Kington (Michael Keaton). It revolved around a Baseball bat themed Superhero.

**Austin Powers: Goldmember** was adapted into a film by Steven Spielberg, starring Tom Cruise as Austin, Kevin Spacey as Dr. Evil, Danny DeVito as Mini-Me, and John Travolta as Goldmember. The film depicts Austin Powers' mom as biased towards the Welsh in *Goldmember*, instead of Austin's dad (an element from the Comic Wisdom). Spielberg is unlikely to have made Minority Report in this timeline, so he made Goldmember instead.

## **TV**

**Brooklyn Eight Eight (*Brooklyn Nine Nine*)** exists in Spider-Gwen's universe.

## **Comics**

### **The Tomorrow Syndicate**

A Parody of Marvel Comics from 1963. It has a similar history to Marvel going into the 1960's. The "bullpen" includes Artists with code names including "Affable Al," "Sturdy Steve," "Jaunty John," and "Roarin' Rick". Affable Al wrote a book titled *How I Created Everything All By Myself and Why I Am Great* (a parody of Stan Lee's *Origins of Marvel Comics* (and its sequels)). Most issues were released in 1963. After most of the Heroes the characters are based off had already debuted.

Issue #1 Characters include **Mystery Incorporated** (Actually premiering before the team of Mystery Solvers of the same name)**,** a Fantastic Four surrogate featuring *Crystal Man* (based on Mr Fantastic), *Neon Queen* (based on Invisible Woman), *Kid Dynamo* (based on Human Torch) and *The Planet* (based on The Thing).

Issue #2 *No-one Escapes the Fury*, featured **The Fury**, based on Spider-Man with elements taken from Daredevil, as well as **Sky Solo, Lady of L.A.S.E.R.**, a female version of Nick Fury, agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., and mentions a character called "King Zero", who appears to be a Namor parody.

Issue #3, an anthology comic called *Tales of the Uncanny*, featured **USA, Ultimate Special Agent** based on Captain America, and **Hypernaut**, who was based on Iron Man, with elements taken from Silver Surfer, Green Lantern, Arnim Zola (in appearance), and Swamp Thing.

Issue #4, another anthology comic called *Tales From Beyond*, introduces readers to **the Unbelievable N-Man**, based on The Incredible Hulk, and **Johnny Beyond**, a beatnik version of Doctor Strange.

Issue #5 was devoted to **Horus, Lord of Light**, which appropriates Ancient Egyptian mythology as background for a modern era superhero in the same way that The Mighty Thor appropriated Norse Mythology.

Issue #6 told the story of the **Tomorrow Syndicate**, based on the Avengers. This comic brought back Horus, Lord of Light, Hypernaut, N-Man, and USA, and also introduced *Infra-Man*, based on Henry Pym, and *Infra-Girl*, based on Janet Van Dyne.

### **Marvel Comics**

Marvel Comics does indeed exist within its own universe as has been shown. They print licensed stories from Superheroes who have public identities and create fictional secret identities for those who do not. They are hilariously off in some of their guesses. They evidently lost the rights to publish Captain America stories to an independent company.

### **Tales of the Black Freighter**

A horror anthology series (Horror and slice of life became more popular as a result of Superheroes being real). The series follows a different person encountering the Black Freighter and the paranormal events that happen to them after or during said encounter. It famously had a run by Max Shea (Alan Moore) and Walt Feinberg (Dave Gibbons).

### **Ex Machina**

Superhero Mitchell Hundred sold the rights to have his story adapted into a comic book. It was not adapted by Brian K. Vaughn and Tony Harris (as in our timeline) but instead by Garth Ennis with art by Jim Lee.

## **Cars Universe**

The car-ified versions of earlier Pixar movies appear in the end credits, including *Toy Car Story*, *Monster Trucks, Inc.*, and *A Bug's Life*. The sequel actually combined this with Early-Bird Cameo for *Brave*. The sequel also has the theater advertising *The Incredimobiles*.
