Also in the IDW Transformers continuity, Thundercracker is a colossal dork with a cute dog and atrocious screenwriting chops who's decided to live on Earth because he was never 100% into the war and fell in love with human culture (soap operas in particular).

"After Spider-Man saves the whole of New York from a bomb planted by Doctor Octopus, Jameson is talked by his son and Steve Rogers into holding a ceremony to give him the key to the city, much to his chagrin. At the same time, he cashes the shares he owned of the DB!, giving the money to Robbie Robertson, so that he can rebuild Front Line into the new Daily Bugle."

Technically you could be a ruler titled as 'Prince', which I think was the case for a lot of the Italian states who were not titled as kings. Although in that case it would still be wrong, you would say something like 'Prince Namor is sovereign' instead.

Alternatively, maybe Prince his is given name, and he just as people call him Namor because being called 'King Prince' would be even more confusing.

I forget where it's from, but Taskmaster gets a job at AIM training grunts. Unfortunately, there's a mixup and he gets a group of scientists instead of soldiers.

He trains them anyway.

It's always been self parody. They didn't come up with the genocide panel without being 100% self aware of how it'd look out of context. The writer even admitted he hated the old cartoon, which is bonkers because the Flintstones rock, but it's not like the Wacky Races series, which totally was just generic grimdarkness.
