How about updating old, well known histories to nowadays' standards? For instance, if you've read El Quixote in detail, you'll realize it's the history of a fanboy who believes he's the hero of the literature he reads, only ambienced on the late XVIth century's Spanish culture. If you were going to re-make Don Quixote to nowadays' standards, he'd be a superhero wannabe, with his sidekick and everything...
Windmills could be huge corporation buildings, his faithful horse could be traded by a customized old station wagon, and he'd stick to super-hero's pretended nobility as stubbornly as Don Quixote adscribed to his imaginary cavalry code... etc, etc...
