Franklin D. Roosevelt

Marvel Super-Heroes Secret Wars #12 (Apr. 1985): "...Nothing to Fear...", page 43, panel 6:
Ben Grimm (Thing): "Nice guy, Reed... A little bit of a worry war, though! I'm gonna be fine! A little lonesome mebbe--! But what's that whut F.D.R. said once--? 'There ain't nuthin' to fear...'"

The Ultimates: Against All Enemies (2007), page 31:
He [Steve Rogers] felt like he was in dangerous territory. You're coming close to going off the reservation, son, he told himself. But if what General Fury was telling him was true, America had fallen a long way since Roosevelt had told the country that the only thing it had to fear was fear itself.

Writer's Block (2014), page 4:
Robert: "So he joins the army, and goes to Vietnam. And when he comes back, he's paralyzed. But he's still gay, and he's also paralyzed and he has PTSD. And it ends up with him running for president, but being assassinated by his father... And then it turns out that this was the incredible true story of Franklin Delanor Roosevelt."

Note: Robert tells his play premise about a gay man who joins army, fights in Vietnam, comes back paralyzed and with PTSD, etc., then says it is FDR, despite the story being nothing like real FDR's life.

X-Men Forever (vol. 2) #7 (Nov. 2009): "Past Is Prologue", page 13, panel 3:
Nick Fury: "You know anything about the target?"
Logan: "Only that it's one of Hitler's special projects. They tested it against the Russians not long ago. Stalin called FDR an' Churchill personally, screaming for help."
