Monster Mash is fun and all, but it's just a little too cheesy. Hey, we've got all these colorful historical figures, why not throw them all together, even if they never interacted with each other in real life? This may involve Historical Hero Upgrade or Historical Villain Upgrade. The historical figures don't have to be on Earth; they just have to be historical, though this can also extend to in-universe historical figures. Justified in different ways: They could be simulacra, clones, or magically reanimated. Or brought forward in time. Related to Jury of the Damned and Stupid Jetpack Hitler. Could be the result of superpowered historical figures teaming up. See also Army of The Ages, for fighting forces composed of warriors from different eras who aren't famous figures. |

In the old comic Life of Riley, when Jezebel strikes against her opponents in an all-out paintball war (it's a long story), she uses the memories of various souls that have fallen to her over the ages. The first few eras - your Caesars, your Napoleons, et cetera - weren't all that effective against modern tactics. Eventually, though, she moved onto blitzkriegs, which ... also weren't that effective in the end, but for different reasons. | |

The Simpsons: One Treehouse of Horror had Billy the Kid reviving as a zombie to terrorize Springfield (which had gotten rid of all of its guns, thanks to Lisa) and leading a gang of historical villains, including the most evil German in history — Kaiser Wilhelm II! An earlier Halloween episode had Satan (Flanders) put Homer on trial before his "Jury of the Damned": Benedict Arnold, Lizzie Borden, Richard Nixon note who, ironically, at the time would not die until several months later , John Wilkes Booth, Blackbeard, John Dillinger...and the starting lineup of the 1976 Philadelphia Flyers. |

The Night's Dawn Trilogy features an invasion from The Legions of Hell in a Space Opera setting... A disproportionatly large portion of whom hail from the 20th century, potentially leading to massive Narm on the reader's part. There were enough people from other eras (past and future) so that (apart from the multiple Elvises) it could plausibly just be a statistical blip. And one of them's Al freakin' Capone. | |

Shazam!: Captain Marvel villain Ibac could be considered a type of this trope. Lucifer gave a crook the ability to turn into Ibac, with the powers of Ivan the Terrible, Borgia, Attila the Hun and Caligula. (Note that Ibac's name, like Shazam's, is an acronym of those four's first initials.) This doesn't explain how he gains enormous strength and durability, considering that logically he should only be about as strong as several men. | |

The Nexus in Heroes of the Storm does this, pretty much literally, but with simulacra of characters from Blizzard's various IPs. Their fighting skills, personalities and such are translated into the Nexus albeit somewhat imperfectly. They have been chosen to fight these battles on behalf of the shadowy rulers of the Nexus: such as the Grave Keeper and the Lady of Thorns. You and your friends can assemble your Quirky Miniboss Squad, to fight with an opponent's similar squad. To make your squad extra quirky, you can summon alternate-universe versions of some characters: which may have very different looks and themed powers, or even different voices. The alternate universes tend to have wacky themes like Professional Wrestling, Christmas, or Robots: meaning even the characters from more Grimdark settings can get silly skins. Other times a character will get a new skin because of Ascended Fanon: like Jaina's Dreadlord skin. | |

Red Dwarf: "Meltdown" has the crew encounter a "wax-droid" museum planet, where the wax-droids have become self-aware, and the "Good" and "Bad" characters have gone to war. The "Bad" characters include Al Capone, Benito Mussolini, Hitler, Caligula, Rasputin the Mad Monk, Richard the III, and jazz musician James Last. In "Cured", the crew encounter a scientific base where Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Vlad the Impaler, and Messalina have been recreated through cloning and cured of 'evil'. (Lab notes reveal that Rupert Murdoch proved resistant to the treatment.) However, it turns out the evildoers are actually androids who were originally the medical staff of the base who have been reprogrammed to believe they are historical villains. |

The Venture Bros. episode "Escape to the House of Mummies Part II" has the Venture crew inexplicably team up with Caligula, Sigmund Freud, and Edgar Allan Poe (and a time-duplicated Brock Samson).

Inverted in Supreme; as a boy, Supreme was a member of the League of Infinity, which is comprised of heroes from history (some folkloric, some real, some made up by the comic). Uh, and they're all teenagers. Its eclectic membership includes Kid Achilles, a young Wild Bill Hickok, famed strategist Chu-Ko Liang, Mata Hari, mad scientist Wilhelm Reich, Aladdin, mutant caveman Giganthro, Witch Wench, the Germanic swordsman Siegfried, and team leader Zayla "Future Girl" Zarn. Their opposite number the League of Infamy presumably play this straight, but never make a full appearance. | |

The eponymous Chitra of Chitra is rewarded for completing quests in the RPG Mechanics 'Verse she's been isekai'd into with coupons for pulls in The Gods' Exclusive Gacha System. Prizes from the gacha are attractive male supporters to aid her in administering and expanding her territory. The high-level prizes are all in-universe famous warriors, mages, and strategists from the past; like Radelk the famous Warrior Butler, Tyrex the Battle Mage, and Tornian "the genius war strategist and military tactician". (While its not made clear how so many historically important figures ended up sealed away in magical gems dispensed as prizes from a celestial slot machine, awaiting the day when a new master would summon them into service, there are also various average soldiers and tradespeople from the past available as lower-level prizes.) | |

The elite vampires (people who committed great atrocities in life) include Elizabeth Báthory (Dracula's wife), Nero, Attila the Hun, and Maximilien Robespierre. If you're wondering why Adolf Hitler isn't there, he's a kind of superweapon: when killed, all his victims Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence. Ghouls did evil while persuading themselves they did good. Their ranks include Edgar J. Hoover and Oppenheimer. The Archeologists did evil For Science!, it's implied one of them was Josef Mengele. |

Star Trek: The Original Series: "Spectre of the Gun" offers an inversion, as the Melkotians create psychic images of the Earps and Doc Holliday, popularly remembered as the heroes of the OK Corral gunfight, and put Kirk and his landing party in the roles of the "villainous" Clantons and McLowrys. "The Savage Curtain" has an odd In-Universe example when the Excalbians create duplicates of various criminals who are "historical monsters" from the perspective of the Enterprise crew, with Genghis Khan the only real-world historical "villain", and set them against a group of Historical Heroes, of whom the only real-world counterpart is Abe Lincoln. |

If you stretch it a bit, this is basically the concept of the Warriors Orochi series — bringing together legendary warriors from China's Three Kingdoms Period, others from Japan's Warring States Era, and a few guys from mythology for good measure — just so Orochi can have a decent challenge. Certainly, a teamup of Masamune Date, Lu Bu and Sun Wukong invokes the same sort of feeling... | |

However, their list is all over the place: while it includes a few recognized villains like Al Capone, Genghis Khan, and Adolf Hitler (who resulted in the memetic Starfish Hitler), it also includes figures who were more ambiguous (Ishikawa Goemon, Geronimo), completely unremarkable (Benjamin Ogle), and some who were just straight-up fictional (Dracula, Arsene Lupin). | |

Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure has a pair of eccentric high-schoolers travel through time collecting historical figures to help with their history report. Much hilarity ensues when they get back to the modern age. | |

In Sorcerer Conjurer Wizard Witch, London suffers from a crime wave committed by the magically-animated waxworks from Madame Tussaud's Chamber of Horrors. The felons thus unleashed are a mix of historical criminals like Dr Crippen and George Joseph Smith and fictional (but real in-universe) villains like Sweeney Todd and Sir Percival Glyde. Among other incidents, Crippen tries to poison the punch at a society party, Sweeney Todd cuts the throat of a famous entertainer, and Glyde attempts to menace a young lady only for her to demonstrate decisively that young ladies in the 20th century are more bold and enterprising than the fainting maidens of his day. | |

Fate/stay night and its prequel Fate/Zero is pretty much the mythological version of this, although some (like Gilles de Rais and Alexander the Great) were historical people. With some exceptions, the heroes summoned were all real people at some point. Their appearance and personality may change based on perceptions, however. |

Legion of Super-Heroes: In Adventure Comics #314, a villain called Alaktor recruits history's three greatest villains (Nero, Adolf Hitler, and ... John Dillinger) to take on the Legion. Apparently Alaktor considers bank robbery to be equal to mass genocide. | |

In Warhammer 40,000, the Daemon Prince Doombreed is said to have once been a "warlord of ancient Terra" whose acts of brutality had impressed the War God Khorne so much that he granted him immortality. While his identity is ambiguous (Genghis Khan and Adolf Hitler are two popular suggestions), the time period given makes it clear that he's a historical figure. | |

One time Judge Dredd faced a crime wave committed by famous criminals out of history and literature. The ultimate culprit turned out to be the manager of a museum full of animatronics - the museum was going under, so he sent out the exhibits of criminals to bring in money for him. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to reprogram them to commit crimes other than what they historically did (A graverobber would only rob graves, etc), so his crimes weren't paying even before Dredd caught up with him. | |

Justice Society of America: One comic has the JSA fighting what appears to be a band of villains out of history: Nero, Goliath, Captain Kidd, Cesare Borgia, Genghis Khan and Attila the Hun. It turns out to be one guy (a guard at a wax museum) masquerading as all these figures. However he succeeds in killing the entire male membership of the Society in that issue. They get better. | |

The second Night at the Museum movie features animated statues of Ivan the Terrible, Napoléon Bonaparte, and Al Capone as henchman to the Big Bad, an Egyptian King. Darth Vader and Oscar the Grouch tried to join in as well, but are rejected (Vader because of aesthetic and Oscar because he isn't actually evil). | |

The Avengers: One iteration of the Lethal Legion villain team, enemies of the Avengers, was composed of history's greatest murderers, given superpowers by hell. They were Lucrezia Borgia, Lizzie Borden, Josef Stalin, and Heinrich Himmler. Lucrezia was codenamed "Cyana", granted blue skin, Absurdly Sharp Claws coated with poison, and a literal Kiss of Death. Lizzie was codenamed "Axe of Violence", granted light red skin, her right hand was replaced by a double-headed axe, and she carried two other double-headed axes used as throwing weapons. Josef was codenamed "Coldsteel", becoming a Chrome Champion with a body made of living steel, granting him Super-Strength and Super-Toughness. Heinrich was codenamed "Zyklon", granted a Powered Armor which allowed him to fly. He released Deadly Gas from his mask and gauntlets. | |

Lois & Clark: In "That Old Gang of Mine", Mad Scientist Emil Hamilton creates clones of Al Capone, John Dillinger and Bonnie and Clyde to demonstrate that evil is not hereditary. It doesn't work out that way. (There was a comic book storyline at around the same time that may have been the inspiration, but it used fictional gangsters.) | |

The "encores" in Legends of Tomorrow season 5 are historic villains revived by Astra. Mostly they reappear shortly after their death, and the Legends go to them, but in "Mortal Khanbat" Genghis Khan spent centuries making his way out of his tomb and emerged in the 1990s, and in "The Great British Fake-Off", Jack the Ripper, Bonnie and Clyde, Brutus, Henry VIII and the pirate Black Caesar are all brought to 1910 by Lachesis. | |
