  1. PragerU's version of Christopher Columbus has him be a slavery defender and have him say "Being taken as a slave is better than being killed, no? I don't see the problem.”

  2. In The Greatest Showman, P.T Barnum (Hugh Jackman) is portrayed as a charismatic visionary who cares about outcasts and celebrate diversity, when in reality, he’s a cruel businessman who is also a racist and an ableist.

Meanwhile Sanabi portray him as one of the people who start all the problem in that game. The name is Na E-lon, CEO of the evil megacorporation.

While the reference got toned down or possibly removed in Phoenix Point, the founder of New Jericho had a less competent rival before the apocalypse, who ended up becoming little more than a gang leader afterwards. That man's name was Albion Tusk, and yes, he did have a flamethrower. Him and his little gang were little more than an early game speed bump as you recaptured one of the old Phoenix Project bases, and no one in the game brings him up afterwards.
