In some universes, the [[John F. Kennedy]] administration was nicknamed “Camelot”. This symbolically made Kennedy's killer, [[Lee Harvey Oswald]], “[[Mordred]]”; in [[Universe (Fragment: Guinevere and Mordred)|one universe]], [[Jenny Everywhere#Stopping “Mordred”|“Guinevere”]] stepped in to stop the assassination, adding a further layer to the metaphor.
