Whenever there's a landmark with a famous face on it, there's a good chance the villain will demonstrate his need for attention by putting their own face on it instead (or some ridiculous caricature of a real face, to emphasize their whimsicality).

An alternative, less sinister refacement would be simply adding more heads, either for parody purposes, or of notable future presidents. Compare Deface of the Moon. Examples of Rushmore Refacement include:
