There is so much. The heroes of Olympus series, old captain America, Oceania by the smashing pumpkins, he-man.

Not sure if this is supposed to come from me or I am supposed to provide a link? My top tip is DO NOT OVER PREP! Because the players will always blow holes in whatever you write! Have a bunch of handy tables ready to go to help you out when you get stuck in a jam. Including a good list of Names for NPCs, because that happens so friggin often!
