U.S. President Benjamin Harrison 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:
Q. Who's the 24th President of the U.S.A.?
A. Why, Benjamin Harrison, the signer of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act.
Q. I hate trusts.
A. So did Ben. Now READ THE BOOK!
