The Sherman Anti-Trust Act, which was named for its author, Senator John Sherman, is mentioned purely for comedic purposes on the first page of Nextwave #4 (June 2006). This page is mostly text, featuring the "interactive NEXTWAVE: Agents of H.A.T.E. Primer Page" with a "Q and A session." The page is intended to bring new readers up to speed on what Nextwave is, who its members are, and what has happened in previous issues. For comedic purpose, the page concludes with questions that have nothing to do with the story.
The page ends with the following:

A. Why, Benjamin Harrison, the signer of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act.
