Star Trek parodies and pop culture references (pictorial)

== Marvel Comics ==
===X-Men===
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Marvel included ''Star Trek''-inspired characters and artwork depicting members of the Shi Ar Empire, most notably "Captain K'rrk", commander of a multi-species crewed Shi'ar vessel. Their uniforms were depicted in the ''Trek'' service division (Command, Science, Operations) colors, using the original lime/olive green for Command. K'rrk, like his ''Trek'' inspiration, was promoted to admiral later in his career.

In the late '90s-early 2000s, another Shi'ar captain was introduced as Captain P'crrd. In keeping with his namesake, he was bald.

After their introduction to the Shi Ar, the X-Men incorporated "hard light" technology into their Danger Room training environment, rendering it functionally equivalent to a [[holodeck]].

In one issue of ''Excalibur'', the character Peter Wisdom makes fun of Professor Xavier by being pushed around in a wheelchair and wearing a bald cap, spouting out various Xavier-originated phrases before saying "''Make it so!''", one of Picard's catchphrases. Ironically, this issue came out long before Patrick Stewart was cast as Xavier.
