For example, has there ever been anything like a location, item, name, or character that Sega has included in an official game that was only previously seen in the Archie comics or another entertainment series?

I'm asking this because I don't read the comics and because of a certain fan-made project I'm contributing to that is intended to be able to work with the canon game story, and something that fans will like the idea of.

By knowing about this I am hoping to get an idea of how likely Sega could be/has known to be to include something not from its own raw ideas when producing a game, just to make the fan-game more realistic and appealing.

I think they have done this once before with the Death Egg- both its name and design seem to have been obviously inspired by the Death Star from Star Wars.
