List of references to The Phantom in popular culture.

• In Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds, there were criminal marks, special tattoos applied to a criminal's face after conviction that would not only identify them as criminals, but let the police track an escaped convict or one who had violated probation or parole.
• In the movie Ace Ventura, the protagonist had to find out who stole the mascot of an American football team. He finds out that a former player on the team did it, but the only clue to tell him apart is that the ring he got when he joined the team was missing one of the jewels, so Ace had to go after each former player and check the ring. In a scene he uses the Phantom's method, he makes one of the former players punch him so that the ring's mark stays on his face and he can check if that ring is missing a jewel.
• In the cartoon Randy Cunnighan: 18th Grade Ninja, the ninja's legacy is an allusion to the Phantom's legacy. The school has been protected by a mysterious ninja for thousands of years, but everyone thinks it's the exact same person coming to save the students, so they think the ninja is 8,000 years old. But in fact it is not the same person, the ninja is a student at the school and when he graduates from the school he gives the ninja disguise to a new student who will be trained to be the new ninja. And in one episode, a very rich bully would mark who could go to his party, he would punch the student in the arm and that would cause a swelling that would be what differentiates this student from those who cannot enter in the party. In an allusion to the fact that the Phantom always marks enemies to be able to recognize them later.
• In the movie Pink Panther 2, the only way to find out who the mysterious "Tornado" was was a scar he had on his arm.
• In "My dad is bounty hunter". When the bounty hunter was banned from a bar, a machine marked the word "Banned" on his head so he could be distinguished by the bar's security guards.
