* ''Fanfic/NewStars'': For a clone in the Republic, fighting massive space battles with the odds stacked against you is so normal that [[spoiler: when helping his new crew in a mission into Krill space]], Maxx views it almost nostalgically.

** When Peter meets Xander in the original timeline, Xander is struck by the notion that Peter has no problem with the idea of travelling in time but is put out at the notion of confronting the literal source of all Evil while doing so, Peter just observing that everything's relative.

* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10879478/1/Just-Another-Tuesday Just Another Tuesday]]'' has the [[VideoGame/MassEffect Citadel]] having to deal with [[ComicBook/IronMan flying lunatics]] chasing after [[ComicBook/XMen giant purple robots]], [[ComicBook/FantasticFour a gigantic being eating Palavan]] and a monomaniacal dictator being assigned as the Earth ambassador to the Citadel. You know, old hat for Earth-616, but utterly ludicrous for the Citadel races.

** ''Fanfic/SuperRWBYSisters'': In a similar example to the Fire Emblem story mentioned below, at thhe end of Chapter 22, we get this when Bereto recognizes Shez:

-->'''Lucius:''' I DEMAND TO BE RELEASED!\\
'''Mr. Hawkings:''' Ah, Mr Malfoy. I have prayed to the gods that you would be a guest in my cells. It's only taken thirteen years, now pipe down death eater scum before I come in there and make you wish that you had killed me alongside my wife.\\
'''Lucius:''' I have no idea what you are talking about; I have never met you before.\\

* In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/40945617/ Spider-Man: Finding Home]]'', when Peter confronts the Shocker and the Scorpion as they rant about how he got them arrested, he asks them for more details, pointing out that given his actions as a hero he's gotten a lot of people arrested so they aren't giving him anything that would help him narrow down what they're talking about.

* A heroic example happens in ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/22834852/chapters/54574006 The Brewmaster]]''. [[LightNovel/TheFamiliarOfZero Siesta]] manages to recognize [[VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft Chen Stormstout]] because he saved her great-grandfather's life in the Third War (alongside sharing his brew with him and his men). While Chen can't remember this because he has saved many lives and shared his brew with many more, he is glad that this specific man's legacy has managed to live on.

* ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'''s Frieza has gotten so bored of people coming at him with righteous fury that he's turned the trope ''into a game'', keeping a running total of how many times he's heard certain lines.

''[All Might looks away in shame]''\\

-->'''Izuku:''' "That's why -- that’s why I don’t see you the way you want to be seen. Because you want to be a hero, and yet you can hurt someone like that. You can hurt them so bad that they still think about it and the scars still itch and it’s shaped the person they are, and not even remember. It was the worst day of my life, Bakugou. But it was just another Wednesday for you, wasn’t it?”

When Izuku finally calls him out on this, he makes clear that the thing that hurts most is that Katsuki seemingly doesn't even remember doing this, despite how it "changed ''everything''" for Izuku.
