** Alex from ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIII'' doesn't share as many obvious physical similarities as most examples on this list, but was confirmed by the developers to be directly inspired by Hogan and still has some elements of him. He rips his t-shirt off before fights, and has a special intro against with Wrestling/AndreTheGiant expy Hugo -- a nod to Hogan and Andre's staredown during their iconic fight at ''Wrestling/WrestleMania III''.

* Neptuneman from ''Manga/{{Kinnikuman}}''. Originally appearing as a villain, like many such characters he turned over a new leaf [[DefeatMeansFriendship after losing to Kinnikuman]]. He was modeled after Hogan and even used an Axe Bomber-type clothesline (which Hogan was more known for using in Japan) as his trademark move. Different from him, he comes from the UK instead of the US.

The American Tour arc briefly featured a minor character named Hulk ''Dogan'' who bore a similar moustache but existed only to job to Beautiful Rhodes.

* Wrestling/LexLuger started off by subverting this as he's a big jacked up blonde wrestler to begin with, then started playing it a little straighter in Jim Crockett Promotions (the company that would later become Wrestling/{{WCW}}), since they wanted their own Hogan. This didn't pan out, mainly because Luger isn't a very good {{Face}}, and he'd leave WCW to join the real Hogan in the WWF. Not long after he got there Hogan left under acrimonious terms and here began Wrestling/VinceMcMahon's quest to find the ''next'' Hogan in "Made in the U.S.A." Lex Luger, playing this trope completely straight against the "[[ForeignWrestlingHeel evil Japanese]]" WWF champion Wrestling/{{Yokozuna}}[[note]]Who was actually part of the Wrestling/SamoanDynasty and from San Francisco[[/note]]. This didn't work either, mainly due to plain old bad booking.

* The Brooter, a party member from ''VideoGame/WrestleQuest'' is basically a black Hogan. His quotes parody Hogan's bragging about his 24 inch pythons, the size and breed of snake changing constantly and he uses a variant of Hogan's big boot as one of his gimmick moves.

* TheEighties Creator/{{Konami}}'s wrestling game ''The Main Event'' had Conan The Great, a Hogan expy that also sounds like ''Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian''.

* TheEighties Creator/{{Konami}}'s wrestling game ''The Main Event'' had Conan The Great, a Hogan expy that also sounds like ''Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian''. His portrait was just a drawing (possibly a digitized image) of Hulk Hogan, but with white hair and mustache.

* Beowulf from ''VideoGame/{{Skullgirls}}'' has a fair bit of Hogan about him. He's a professional wrestler, he adopts a number of Hulk's mannerisms (up to and including "Wulfamania"), and just like Hulk and Wrestling/AndreTheGiant at Wrestling/WrestleMania III, his most famous match saw him take down [[OurGiantsAreBigger a giant]] - though in Beowulf's case, that's where the story diverges into a WholePlotReference to his [[Literature/{{Beowulf}} namesake]]. Incidentally, Beowulf also pastiches a number of other wrestlers: he does his own version of Wrestling/BigVanVader's "Vader Time" {{Catchphrase}}, he can reference Wrestling/TheRock's "Finally, the Rock has come back to [X]" line with the location being [[MadLibsCatchphrase whatever stage he's fighting on at the time]], and one of his moves alludes to Wrestling/ShawnMichaels.
