* ''Videogame/GuiltyGear'' series has Sol Badguy, whose real name is Frederick (nicknamed as "Freddie" in the past) before being converted into a Gear. Sol has a lot of references to Freddie that make him fit into this trope (more as an invoked example), all noticed with detail in [[https://guilty-gear.wikia.com/wiki/Sol_Badguy#References_and_Allusions the GG Wiki]].

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkCxE2Lh458 Marc Martel.]] He became worldwide known for having a face similar (something like a fusion of Freddie with [[UsefulNotes/SpaceExplorationTechnologiesCorporation Elon Musk]]) and voice ''almost identical'' to Freddie's. [[IdenticalStranger Despite being from Canada instead of England]], he can also do a similar accent while singing. He was then chosen by Queen to join the tribute band Queen Extravaganza and later to do some vocal clips for the biopic film ''Film/BohemianRhapsody'' alongside Freddie's original voice for Creator/RamiMalek's character.
* In Chile, there's the "[[https://www.facebook.com/mercurytrooper "Mercury Trooper,"]] a Franchise/StarWars {{cosplay}}er who's also a fan of Queen and a Freddie impersonator that made various of his outfits for Cosplay. The nickname comes precisely because he made an original costume of [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/95/cb/f3/95cbf3462c1859d2d5af8b0b8522728b.jpg Freddie disguised as a Stormtrooper]], [[CompositeCharacter mixing both characters into one]].

** Eagle from ''VideoGame/StreetFighterI'' was first made for this game as an {{expy}} of the bodyguard Petrov from Creator/BruceLee's ''Film/FistOfFury'', but his comeback in ''VideoGame/CapcomVsSNK2MarkOfTheMillennium'' and the portable versions of ''VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha 3'' was a direct {{homage}} to Freddie, having various of his mannerisms and {{Catch Phrase}}s like "The Show Must Go On" and "No Time For Losers". Even further, his winquotes in Japanese version makes him a StraightGay making innuendos to male characters he fought.

* One of the most remembered secondary characters from ''Manga/CromartieHighSchool'' is a foreign man known only as "Freddie" for his undeniable resemblance to Mercury (lampshaded and [[TheNicknamer nicknamed by Takashi Kamiyama]]), having the look of a Caucasian man with a prominent moustache and short hair. In the GenderBentAlternateUniverse chapter Cromartie is a [[OneGenderSchool girl-only school]] (and parody of ''LightNovel/MariaWatchesOverUs''), where Freddie appears in his "I Want To Break Free" drag costume. Funnily enough, Freddie doesn't speak ''at all'' throughout the series, let alone sing, although the "whistling episode" starts with Mechazawa attending a concert of his - we don't hear him sing, but he has all the stage moves ([[LimitedAnimation for a given value of movement]]) down pat.

* The recent years also show the MemeticMutation of "EO", the chorus Freddie made during his concerts when the people follow him also seen in the biopic ''Film/BohemianRhapsody''. This becomes a meme when various characters with a moustache (being expies or not) are given the "EO" and [[InstantTropes voilá Freddie Mercopies]]. Or even without the moustache as [[https://a.wattpad.com/cover/177403735-288-k209274.jpg this image]] of [[WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}} Lord Farquaad]].

** Instead of one, there're two expies in ''Anime/DragonBallZ'', specifically in the Buu Saga: At the beginning, the sports teacher has Son Gohan and Videl in their class resembles Freddie, especially when [[https://i.chzbgr.com/full/6363412480/h293CF7F4/ he used a black swearshirt]]; the second one is at the end, when Trunks in the Tenkaichi Tournament fights against a CampGay fighter with [[https://overencumbrance.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/freddy.png a black leather hat, short hair and moustache,]] which also resembles him (as well Leather Man from Music/VillagePeople).

This trope is for those StockParodies or {{Exp|y}}ies based on the historical Music/{{Queen}} frontman. The most common look is the "clone" one Freddie used in TheEighties, with short hair combed back, a prominent moustache, and sometimes one of the more iconic costumes, most often that from the 1986 Wembley concert with [[http://i.imgur.com/ssPFYvl.jpg white t-shirt and pants and yellow leather jacket]]. Some examples uses his look from TheSeventies, [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/d8/f4/02/d8f40212a024ac1f1f95bfebbbe59d69.png clean-shaven with long hair and chest-exposing leotards]]. Extra points if the character is CampGay, MachoCamp, and/or a LargeHam.

* The ''Webcomic/RageComics'' have the "[[https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/006/548/freddy.jpg Freddie Mercury pose]]" which means an awesome victory, and even has a variant, the "[[https://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/facebook/000/166/752/soclose.jpg So close pose]]".

* Overlapping with SailorSenshiSendUp, there's also the "[[CompositeCharacter Sailor Mercury]]", that mixes the eponymous ''Manga/SailorMoon'' character (Ami Mizuno's SuperpoweredAlterEgo) with Freddie, character that even had received various {{cosplay}}s in events.

* In one article from the Japanese branch of the Wiki/SCPFoundation, [[http://scp-int.wikidot.com/scp-905-jp SCP-905-JP]] is a phenomenon that occurs in any commercial airplane that mostly use the English language where everyone starts making noise to the tune of Queen's "We will Rock You" before several men of Indian descent who look like Freddie Mercury appear and do a mini concert to the passengers and crew, where the "Freddies" perform all of Queen's greatest hits.

* An expy of an expy can be counted on ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters 2000'' with the FinalBoss (Clone) Zero, which was enterely based on ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'''s Han, who was based on Freddie (see above).

* [[https://venturebrothers.fandom.com/wiki/Mr._Fahrenheit Mr. Fahrenheit]], the Supersonic Man from ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBros'', is obviously ''meant'' to be Freddie "in real life" but with WritingAroundTrademarks. Seeing as the last RealLife person they used was ''Music/DavidBowie'', who then subsequently ... died in RealLife during production of the show, they probably wanted to avoid similar issues, despite him appearing in a FlashBack in the 80's.
