History Main / Mummy

* In ''Little Gloomy'', Mummy, an aptly named bartender, speaks in hieroglyphics. Somehow. Other characters understand him, but the reader cannot. That's apparently just how it goes down in [[MonsterTown Mummytown]], which is, naturally, where he comes from.
* DC's ''ComicBook/CreatureCommandos'' have occasionally had a mummy on the team.

* In the ''ComicBook/{{Hellboy}}'' story "The House of Sebek" the villain, a madman who thinks he's the High Priest of [[Myth/EgyptianMythology Horus]] summons a bunch of mummies to attack Hellboy. [[CurbStompBattle They don't last long]].

* In the Argentine horror comic ''ComicBook/MartinHel'', a story is about a mummy that revives at the end of the 20th century in the British museum and murders a night watchman. Later it also tears apart two other types, [[spoiler: it happens that in reality the mummy is a good guy, and has revived to stop another female mummy who is the leader of an ancient demonic cult, and the other two men he murdered had mistreated one of her friends(although they never explain why he killed the security guard in the first place)]]
* The Franchise/MarvelUniverse gives us N'Kantu, the Living Mummy, an African tribal warrior of the "Swarili" that was mummified alive through magic means as punishment for inciting a slave rebellion in ancient Egypt. Wakes up after 3000 years, and starts fighting magic egyptian themed crime.

* King Yod in ''ComicBook/{{Megalex}}''.
* Momses in ''ComicBook/{{Minimonsters}}'' is a mummy and also LovableJock of the team.
* ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'' villain Xa-Du the Phantom King isn't a true mummy, but he is clearly designed with the intent, being a spectral entity possessing a suit that resembles the classic "bandage mummy" look, and debuting as part of a Halloween special.
* The ''[[Creator/ECComics Tales from the Crypt]]'' story "Lower Berth", which was adapted into an episode of the [[Series/TalesFromTheCrypt live-action series]] mentioned below, established that the Crypt Keeper was the son of a preserved corpse with two heads named Enoch and an Ancient Egyptian mummy named Myrna.

* ''Franchise/WonderWoman'' [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1942 Vol 1]]: In issue 23 Wonder Woman, ComicBook/EttaCandy, Bobby Strong and Glamora Treat fight an ancient Egyptian Pharaoh who claims to be immortal after entering his tomb, but after they defeat him he and his mooks all disappear, and his once empty sarcophagus suddenly has his ancient mummy inside.

More recent examples (mostly [[FollowingTheLeader inspired]] by the [[Film/TheMummyTrilogy 1999 film and its sequels]], though it's also a throwback to the original ''Film/TheMummy1932'') may make the Mummy closer to a [[OurLichesAreDifferent lich]] or [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampire]], giving it more individuality and brain, as well ample magical powers (such as the ability to command "lesser" mummies and local Egyptian wildlife like scarab beetles).

* ''WesternAnimation/TheMummy'': an animated series based on the Brendan Frasier movie.

* Sir Creator/ArthurConanDoyle's ''Lot No. 249'' tells the tale of ultimate nerd revenge in the form of an auction-bought mummy and an occultist student. It ends quite not so badly as the setup might lead to expect. As mentioned above, it was adapted into a segment of the anthology ''Film/TalesFromTheDarksideTheMovie'', with a young Creator/SteveBuscemi as the vengeful student.

Also note that mummification rituals were not unique to Egypt. Thus, mummies may occasionally crop up from different necks of the woods, with {{Mayincatec}} mummies as probably the closest runner-up to the Egyptian variant in terms of popularity.

The Mummy [[MonsterMash completes]] the classic quartet of {{Dracula}}, FrankensteinsMonster, and the {{Wolfman}}. The four are the famous villains of the 1930-40s Creator/{{Universal}} [[Franchise/UniversalHorror monster movies]].

* ''TabletopGame/FabulaUltima'': Mummies are one of the most powerful Undead creatures in the core rulebook. They are mindless creatures driven only to carry out whatever commands their masters gave them. They are immune to most status effects, their touch can make a character vulnerable to all damage types, and when they die, they unleash a curse which inflicts status effects to all living creatures in the vicinity.

* The ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'' series has numerous mummies as enemies, both as normal mooks and as powerful bosses, capable of attacking with flying wrappings or even summoning stones to crush the player with. Sometimes the mummy is given the name of Akmodan. There's no explanation given for what Egyptian style mummies are doing in a Romanian castle, aside from RuleOfCool.
