Journalist Shreya Ila Anasuya writes that Moore's Nemo is "nebulously portrayed as a [[Kali]]-worshipping man in a turban, never self-consciously [[Sikh]]."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://scroll.in/article/711400/five-things-we-found-out-about-super-sikh-deep-singh-the-first-sikh-comic-book-superhero|publisher=scroll.in=22 October 2019|title = Five things we found out about Super Sikh Deep Singh, the first Sikh comic-book superhero| date=5 March 2015 }}</ref> The title of "Nemo" is also later inherited by Prince Dakkar's headstrong daughter, Janni Dakkar, for the ''[[The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Nemo Trilogy|League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Nemo Trilogy]]''.

The Japanese [[Otome game|otome]] [[visual novel]] ''[[Code: Realize − Guardian of Rebirth|Code: Realize- Guardian of Rebirth]]'' features a scientist named Nemo.
