* ''VideoGame/EXTRAPOWERAttackOfDarkforce'': Captain Nemon, the FishMan deepnoid who rescues the heroes when their ship goes down at sea. He and his loyal crew pilot a remarkable submarine, and Nimon himself hails from a people who have cut ties with the surface world due to their destructiveness, though Nimon himself actually desires peaceful relations with humans in opposition to his people and his inspiration. His name is even a very subtle nod to Captain Nemo.

** Another League was established in TheForties and modelled after the original group. Nemo's counterpart was Professor James Gray from "The Iron Fish" comic strip from ''ComicBook/TheBeano''. His main similar to Nemo is that he also built a submarine.

* Captain Nathaniel Flint from ''WesternAnimation/TreasurePlanet'' is a SpacePirate whose smaller craft can appear suddenly, raid large merchant starships, then vanish without a trace. Though, in a method twist, Flint's spacecraft isn't all that special; Flint uses Treasure Planet itself as a planet-sized portal generator to teleport to and from his victims. With this instantaneous and far-reaching mechanism, Flint has amassed "the loot of a thousand worlds."

* The TropeNamer is Captain Nemo from ''Literature/TwentyThousandLeaguesUnderTheSea''. Captain of the ''Nautilus'', the most advanced submarine craft of its time, he and his crew spend most of their time exploring the ocean and periodically sinking ships, primarily those of the British Empire, which he hates passionately. Imperialism led to him renouncing humanity, refusing to ever return to civilization or even set foot on dry land again once the ''Nautilus'' was completed. With easy access to sunken treasure, he is one of the richest men in the world, and funds revolutions against oppressive governments. In ''Literature/TheMysteriousIsland'' it is revealed that [[spoiler:his name was Prince Dakkar, son of the Raja of Bundlekhand, educated across Europe in the sciences in the belief it would make him a more modern leader when his time came. However, he lost his family and land in First Indian War of Independence, and exiled himself to the ocean]]. He is also notable for being extremely cultured, possessing an extensive knowledge of multiple scientific fields, speaks several languages, and is a master at playing his OminousPipeOrgan.

* Captain Barracuda in the ''Franchise/MarvelUniverse'' is a pirate who used advanced submarine-type ships armed with high tech weaponry. He has fought the ComicBook/SubMariner, ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk, the ComicBook/FantasticFour, ComicBook/MoonKnight and ComicBook/IronMan.

* Captain Barracuda in the ''Franchise/MarvelUniverse'' is a pirate who used advanced submarine-type ships armed with high tech weaponry. He has fought the ComicBook/SubMariner, the ComicBook/{{Hulk}}, the ComicBook/FantasticFour, ComicBook/MoonKnight and ComicBook/IronMan.

* Captain Annorax of the ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' two-parter "The Year of Hell". A temporal scientist whose technology advanced the Krenim Imperium, he uses his ship, known only as the "Krenim Weapon Ship", to erase his enemies from the timeline, and is unrivaled in his understanding of time. He was driven on his quest by the loss of his home, including his wife, and keeps trying to alter history to restore it. His name is a play on "Aronnax", the protagonist of ''Leagues'', and [[GenreSavvy Tom Paris]] even refers to him as "Captain Nemo" once.

* In ''VisualNovel/CodeRealize'', a brilliant, eccentric scientist named Nemo appears, and is the creator of an advanced airship named the ''Nautilus''. * In ''Anime/NadiaTheSecretOfBlueWater'', due to being a very loose adaptation of ''Leagues'', the traits of the original Nemo [[DecompositeCharacter were split between two characters]].

* Oftentimes they lead a group of pirates, [[ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything or they're just labeled pirates]], be it [[SubmarinePirates beneath the ocean]], [[SpacePirates in space]], [[SkyPirates or the air]].

** Captain Nemo appears as captain of an even ''more'' implausibly advanced ''Nautilus'', in this case battling the Neo-Atlanteans and their attempts to dominate humanity. This version is such a deviation from Verne's work, [[spoiler:being a HumanAlien and father of the protagonist]], that he's effectively a new character built off the original concept, regardless of the name.
** The misanthropic aspects of Nemo went into Gargoyle, the BigBad, who hates humans and aims to use his own advanced naval technology to TakeOverTheWorld.

* Hagbard Celine ([[spoiler:real name Howard Crane]]) of ''Literature/{{Illuminatus}}'', the genius anarchist who opposes TheIlluminati with his golden submarine, the ''Leif Ericson''.
* The title character of the 1892 novel ''Hartmann the Anarchist'' is a genius engineer an creator of ''The Attila'', an airship built from an unknown metal stated to be nearly weightless. He praises his vessel as being powerful enough to topple tyrannical governments, and intends to attack London with the help of the socialist protagonist Mr. Stanley, who fills a role observing Hartmann similar to Professor Arronax in Verne's novel.
* Robur of ''Literature/RoburTheConqueror'', also written by Jules Verne, possesses a unique (at the time) heavier-than-air craft called the ''Albatross'' with which he travels the skies, flaunting his superior technology, and eventually uses it to exact revenge on the people who tried to destroy his work.

Like Nemo, Ro's past is a mystery, though it's implied he's out for revenge against the Jedi. Fitting with the high-tech pirate theme, he wears what resembles a finned diving helmet.

* Captain Annorax of the ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' two-parter "The Year of Hell". A temporal scientist whose technology advanced the Krenim Imperium, he uses his ship, known only as the "Krenim Weapon Ship", to erase his enemies from the timeline, and is unrivaled in his understanding of time.

Creator/JulesVerne being a classic science fiction writer and a huge influence on {{Steampunk}} (despite Nemo's technology being electrically powered), Nemo became one of his most famous and influential characters and authors in that genre are particularly aware of him. With Verne's original novel out of copyright, the name of Captain Nemo can be used freely by writers, though they may take some liberties with the character.

Banshee also has a massive bone to pick with the Hegemony itself, with her crew exclusively targeting Hegemonic military targets and supply routes.

** The second is Baron Klaus Wulfenbach, a WellIntentionedExtremist {{Ubermensch}} who created ''Castle Wulfenbach'', an airship the size of a small city, after his family lands were destroyed. He used the ship to become a powerful SkyPirate, and rather unusually, he's taken control much of Europa rather than a rebel working against an oppressive regime, since much of the continent was in anarchy before he took over and thus no one was around to oppose him.
