* In an issue of ''[[ComicBook/BatmanAndTheOutsiders Outsiders]]'', a group of Nazis created a mature clone of Hitler that they had being watched by a simple-minded Jewish girl. They then showed him movies of his predecessor's accomplishments, intending for him to kill the girl once his memories returned. The clone, whom the girl had saved from choking on his food at point, [[DrivenToSuicide shot himself out of horror]] once he understood his origins. Turns out that [[ClonesArePeopleToo clones aren't really the same person the original was]].
* ''ComicBook/SupermanAtEarthsEnd'' has Superman fighting two clones of Hitler that are declared by him to be the root of all Earth's misfortune.

* Towards the end of the "[[GrandFinale Ragnarök]]" DLC's first part in ''[[VideoGame/ZombieArmyTrilogy Zombie Army 4: Dead War]]'', it is revealed that the Hell Cult responsible for the ZombieApocalypse and Hitler's resurrection as the leader of the undead army also briefly attempted to clone him as part of their greater plans. They admit that this idea didn't really work out all that well though, so the cult's commander has no issue with seeing you mow down dozens of defective Hitler clones with HulkSpeak and ThirdPersonPerson while you destroy what's left of their factory in Hell.

* A strange example in "Century Rain", where it's not only Hitler who has been copied, but the entire Earth circa 1935. This world's Hitler lost the war early when his troops bogged down invading France. History records him as one among many unpleasant dictators rather than a symbol of ultimate evil, and he is now a sad old man slowly dying of cancer in a nursing home.

* In ''[[Series/WonderWoman1975 The New Adventures of Wonder Woman]]'' episode "Anschluss '77" (1977), a group of South American neo-Nazis .. you guessed it ... cloned Hitler. It provides [[LampshadeHanging an in-universe explanation]] for the trope: they were convinced the [=NSDAP=] would have not existed, or remained just a group of disgruntled men in a beer hall, without the mesmerizing personality and rhetoric talent of the Führer, and therefore to make it exist they needed a living, breathing and talking Hitler.

SCP-2430 is a mute, presumably non-sentient clone of Hitler created by the flesh of [[Myth/NorseMythology Sæhrímnir]] and for the amusement of Stalin, who killed his old foe in a variety of painful ways only to have him resurrected. After Stalin's death "Hitler" was rescued by a group of Nazis and brought to {{Argentina|IsNaziland}}, where they presumed him to be catatonic after his imprisonment and was later retrieved by the Foundation after a MOSSAD raid.
