Comic book writer Mark Millar developed several plot and character elements of the Marvel Comics series "The Ultimates" (a revamp of "The Avengers") based on Icke's worldview. In creating Thor for a modern audience, Millar gave readers a handsome, blond European with vague ties to radical environmentalist groups, who inexplicably insists that he is the incarnation of that Norse god. As of 2005, the series has remained coy as to whether Ultimate Thor is crazy or divine. Icke also unwittingly contributed the name for an invading reptilian alien race called the Chitauri, called Skrulls in the earlier Avengers series.

Carter USM's After the Watershed contained the lyrics "Goodbye Ruby Tuesday/ Come home you silly cow/ We've baked a cake and all your friends are waiting/ And David Icke would like to show us how/ To love you back to life again now". The song is more famous for the inevitable Rolling Stones copyright lawsuit. The band stated that the lyrics were actually about domestic abuse.

The British cable channel E4, in selling its lineup of Sunday reruns, features a series of ads in which a fruity-voiced, corrupt and letcherous cult leader tempts the audience to join his "Church of Second-Chance Sunday", leading them through his massive mansion staffed by beautiful women and chanting, zombie-like cult members. "And we've just heard," he says enthusiastically in one of the ads, "that David Icke will be joining the Church next week."
