Robin Hood is not merely a single mythical story, but is such an iconic character archetype that he's an entire literary trope. So much so that when Steve Jackson Games decided to publish a GURPS roleplaying treatment of Robin Hood, the resulting book detailed not just the classical Robin Hood of Sherwood Forest, but also five other Robin-Hood-like characters in settings including: Scottish resistance to 17th century British oppression; the Wild West; modern day superhero vigilantism; cyberpunk; and space-spanning science fiction. It sounds weird at first blush, but it's actually very cool.
"As long as a dashing and pure-hearted hero of the oppressed is fighting the oppressors in ways that only make them look foolish and evil, it might as well be Robin Hood."
