** In ComicBook/UltimateMarvel, Captain Britain is part of the European Defense Initiative, which as the [[TheWikiRule Marvel Database Wiki]] states, is pretty much an European version of ComicBook/TheUltimates (completely eschewing the mainstream counterpart's mystical origins). Along with him, there's also a Captain Spain, a Captain France and a Captain Italy (the latter two have since died).

* One guess where Star and Stripe in ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'' is from.

* ''[[WesternAnimation/WhatIf2021 What If?...]]'': Instead of Peggy Carter being referred to as a gender swapped version of ComicBook/CaptainBritain (since she's an alternate ComicBook/CaptainAmerica in all but name and flag), Peggy's superheroine alias simply referred to just her name as Captain ''Carter''. She has a Union Jack on her suit and shield otherwise.

* For the ''[[WesternAnimation/WhatIf2021 What If?...]]'' episode "What If...Captain Carter Were the First Avenger?", instead of Peggy Carter being referred to as a gender swapped version of Captain Britian, Peggy's superheroine alias simply referred to just her name as Captain ''Carter''. She has a Union Jack on her suit and shield otherwise.

* Adverted with WesternAnimation/WhatIf2021, in the episode "What If...Captain Carter Were the First Avenger?". Instead of Peggy Carter being referred to as a gender swapped version of Captain Britian, Peggy's superheroine alias simply referred to just her name as Captain ''Carter''.

** As well, from [[WesternAnimation/SupermanVsTheElite The Elite]][[note]]Though it actually came from a story called "What's So Funny About Truth, Justice, and the American Way?"[[/note]], you have Manchester Black, who has a Union Jack tattooed on his torso.

** And of course there's still the villainous Omega Red.
** Would (also villainous) Crimson Dynamo count?
*** Probably not as red is more of a symbol of an international ideology than a nation here. Neither Omega Red's costume nor that of the Crimson Dynamo includes a national symbol of the Soviet Union (hammer and sickle, red five-pointed star) or Russia (double eagle).

* Creator/PaulCornell's ''ComicBook/{{Wisdom}}'' and ''ComicBook/CaptainBritainAndMI13'' run featured Captain [[UsefulNotes/TheMidlands Midlands]].

* Franchise/WonderWoman, for the US, despite not canonically being born there. [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1987 Post-Crisis]] her costume was explained to be modeled in honor of a female American pilot who crashed on Themyscira.

* The Batmen of All Nations are each named after their culture's historic warrior archetype, and wears a costume based on that: The Knight and Squire of Britain, the Musketeer of France, the Ranger and Scout of Australia, the Legionary of Italy, and El Guacho of Argentina. ''ComicBook/GrantMorrisonsBatman'' revealed that several of them had moved away from the archetypes since their last appearance, and then reinvented the concept entirely as ''Batman Incorporated''. ''Batman Incorporated'' also reveals that the Knight used to be a member of a group called the Victory Vs, led by Mr Albion, named after an old name for the island of Britain, and [[WearingAFlagOnYourHead wearing a George's Cross on his chest]].

* In one ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' episode Blossom briefly remodels herself as "Liberty Belle" with a stars-and-stripes motif. Funnily enough, there actually ''[[AccidentallyCorrectWriting is]]'' a patriotic heroine in DC called Liberty Belle.

* Creator/PaulCornell's ''Wisdom'' and ''ComicBook/CaptainBritainAndMI13'' run featured Captain [[UsefulNotes/TheMidlands Midlands]].

* Parodied in ''WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan'' with the Plymouth Rocker, Salem's Witch and Slam Adams, a team of Massachusetts-themed supervillains.

* Guardian and Vindicator from ''ComicBook/AlphaFlight''. Furthermore, the original team concept had representatives from the various regions and populations of Canada: Mac, Heather, and Puck are from Ontario; Marrina's from the Atlantic Coast; Northstar and Aurora are from Quebec (with Northstar being a former separatist); Snowbird's from the Northwest Territories; Shaman represents the First Nations; and Sasquatch is from British Columbia.
** "Major Maple Leaf" started out as Wolverine's mocking nickname for Vindicator years earlier, being a lampshading of this trope.

->''"I don't know that I'd necessarily go out and buy a comic called 'Captain Belgium'".''

* ''Comicbook/CaptainCarrotAndHisAmazingZooCrew'' has Yankee Poodle, whose name and costume were inspired by the (United Species of) America's flag and her powers (being able to project electromagnetic stars with one hand and stripes with another). Fellow teammate American Eagle, while having no powers, also has a patriotic theme to his costume and superheroic identity, though thanks to his personality and career in his alter-ego as a conservative radio talk show host, it's carried to a much further degree than Yankee Poodle's.

* Presumably the same for Wonder Wabbit from the Just'a Lotta Animals of Earth-C-Minus from ''Comicbook/CaptainCarrotAndHisAmazingZooCrew'', who even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] her costume choice when Yankee Poodle compliments her on how patriotic it looks.

* The Batmen of All Nations are each named after their culture's historic warrior archetype, and wears a costume based on that: The Knight and Squire of Britain, the Musketeer of France, the Ranger and Scout of Australia, the Legionary of Italy, and El Guacho of Argentina. ''Comicbook/GrantMorrisonsBatman'' revealed that several of them had moved away from the archetypes since their last appearance, and then reinvented the concept entirely as ''Batman Incorporated''. ''Batman Incorporated'' also reveals that the Knight used to be a member of a group called the Victory Vs, led by Mr Albion, named after an old name for the island of Britain, and [[WearingAFlagOnYourHead wearing a George's Cross on his chest]].

* VideoGame/FreedomForce:

* Averted by ''{{VideoGame/Touhou}}'''s Clownpiece, who wears American-flag clothes and has stars-and-stripes danmaku but isn't American (she's a lampad, a madness-causing type of fairy from Myth/GreekMythology). The reason she wears them is to function as a BrownNote to the Lunarians, reminding them of the first time humans landed on the moon (a major BerserkButton for them). The fans (especially Americans), however, love to use her as {{Eagleland}}er type-2 incarnate.

* DC: The ComicBook/FreedomFighters (Miss America & Uncle Sam), [[ComicBook/JusticeSocietyOfAmerica Liberty Belle]], ComicBook/{{Steel}} I and III, [[ComicBook/PowerCompany Skyrocket]] (US), [=KGBeast=], [[ComicBook/TeenTitans Red Star]] (Soviet Union)

* The MarvelUniverse used to have a Soviet superhero named Vanguard whose weapons were [[HammerAndSickle a hammer and a sickle]].

* Jokingly parodied in the New 52 ''ComicBook/HarleyQuinn'' with the Gang of Harleys. The Indian-American Harley is called Bolly Quinn, the African-American one from Harlem is Harlem Quinn, the Jewish one is [[UsefulNotes/JewishHolidays Hanuquinn]], the Chinese-American one from Queens is Harley Queen, etc.

** Sabra from the Marvel Universe. "Sabra" is the term for a Jew born in Israel (or before 1948, in Palestine).

If they love their countries, this overlaps with CaptainPatriotic.

* While he never had his own series, the Franchise/MarvelUniverse version of Germany has Hauptmann Deutschland (translation: Captain Germany) as its national hero.

* The Shield from ''Franchise/ArchieComics'', who was temporarily integrated into Franchise/TheDCU along with his other MLJ/Archie/Red Circle pals. Of note is the fact that he also happens to be one of the earliest patriotic heroes, and the design similarities between his costume and Captain America's original shield forced Marvel to change the shape of the latter. Archie's collection of some of the Shield's first comics proudly proclaims that he was the very ''first'' superhero to wear the Stars and Stripes. Which makes him the TropeMaker, at least in America.

* The Batmen of All Nations are each named after their culture's historic warrior archetype, and wears a costume based on that: The Knight and Squire of Britain, the Musketeer of France, the Ranger and Scout of Australia, the Legionary of Italy, and El Guacho of Argentina. ''Comicbook/GrantMorrisonsBatman'' revealed that several of them had moved away from the archetypes since their last appearance, and then reinvented the concept entirely as ''Batman Incorporated''.

* The ''Roleplay/GlobalGuardiansPBEMUniverse'' features: Captain Texas (premiere hero of the Lone Star State); Captain Australia; Ultra-Man (from the United States); Jean d'Arc (France); Rodina (Russia), and Captain Barbados. Britain is represented by both Union Jack and John Bull. Doctor Tomorrowland Is a special case, in that he is named after one of Disney World's "lands" (which is appropriate, since he is a corporate hero working for the Disney corporation).
