* ReferencedBy: In ''Fanfic/TheGoldenBoysLastTemptation'', as telling her story, ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} tells the villain who she was facing made a gesture, just like Mandrake. Since the kid who she was talking to is not likely to know him, Kara clarifies that Mandrake is "a magician in old comic strips".

* FountainOfExpies: Mandrake had ''many'' imitators in UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks, most of them with an almost identical costume. The one that is best remembered today is Creator/DCComics's Zatara, father of [[Franchise/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica Justice League]] member ComicBook/{{Zatanna}}. Another who pops up once in a while in current DC Comics is Creator/FawcettComics's [[Characters/ShazamOthers Ibis the Invincible,]] a [[SealedGoodInACan revived Ancient Egyptian]] who wears a turban instead of a top hat. The ComicBook/JusticeSocietyOfAmerica's enemy [[Characters/JusticeSocietyOfAmericaVillains the Wizard]] is basically an ''evil'' version of Mandrake, right down to the outfit and mustache. Even [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver Age]] magician Comicbook/DoctorStrange shares the Himalayan origin and (originally pencil-thin) mustache. And magician John Mandrake of ''Literature/TheBartimaeusTrilogy'' is named after him, though they don't have much else in common.
