• Angel. Gunn says in reference to Connor: "His nickname back in Quortoth was the Destroyer. And unless you put Conan in front of that, I'm guessing it's not a good sign."
• In the Discworld, there is the character of Cohen The Barbarian ("Wholesale Destruction"), who has realised, with a sense of existential gloom, that he has simply been too good at being a barbarian hero and has reached the age of eighty without being seriously troubled by any opposition. Cohen's career deliberately parodies that of Conan, right down to the realisation that if he does nothing about it, he'll die peacefully in his bed.
