History ComicBook / OriginalSin

* RedSkiesCrossover: The Guardians of the Galaxy tie-in has nothing to do with the event other than the basic premise of secrets being revealed. None of the Guardians were on Earth when everyone's secrets were psychically revealed, so the arc involves Gamora forcibly interrogating Star-Lord for answers.

** SelfDemonstrating/{{Deadpool}}: The secret origin of Wade Wilson! And who is Wade's daughter?

** ComicBook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy: Why were Star-Lord and Thanos able to leave the Cancerverse after ''ComicBook/TheThanosImperative'' and the previous Nova, Richard Rider, wasn't?

* ShownTheirWork: Many readers did take notice and was happy with how writer Mark Waid handled [[spoiler:the revelation of Matt Murdock's mother abandoning him due to the poorly-diagnosed postpartum depression, mostly due to the fact that that was how it was handled back in the 70s - with just a shrug and "You'll get over it."]]

** [[spoiler: That's how the Watcher dies. Midas and company took only one eye and Uatu was still alive. He needed someone to go after Midas with his other eye, but doing so would break his vow so when he confronted Nick Fury, he powered up and approached in a threatening manner. This forced Nick to shoot Uatu, so Uatu essentially committed death by suicide.]]

* BodyHorror: [[spoiler:The Eye ends up having one of the Watcher's eyes fused to his body.]]

* TakeAthirdOption: [[spoiler:Uatu knew someone had to stop Doc Midas and would need his remaining eye to do it. But he couldn't do it himself or ask someone else to help him without breaking his oath. Uatu was stuck between letting a villain wreck havoc with his eye and breaking his oath. So he goaded Nick Fury into killing him so that Nick could take his eye and stop Midas.]]

* WholeCostumeReference: In issue 4, [[spoiler:The real Nick Fury Sr's [[http://i.newsarama.com/images/i/000/131/217/original/original-sin-4-spoilers-fury-revealed.jpg?1403113850 look]] is very similar to that of [[http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110928095226/metalgear/images/a/a9/BigBossRender.png Big Boss]] from ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots''.]]

** [[spoiler: That's how the Watcher dies. Midas and company took only one eye and Uatu was still alive. He needed someone to go after Midas but doing so would break his vow, so when he confronted Nick Fury, he powered up and approached in a threatening manner. This forced Nick to shoot Uatu, so Uatu essentially committed death by suicide.]]

** One could also argue that this has been his status since he lost the Infinity Formula in [[Comic/FearItself ''Battle Scars'']]

* TheWatcher: ''[[TropeCodifier The]]'' Watcher is the central focus. One of the questions asked by the solicits is, without him there, who will watch the Marvel Universe?

** ComicBook/XMen: What is Xavier's Last Will and Testament? [[spoiler: Xavier, at one point, made out his will to give his possessions to his wife... Mystique?! Even worse, it seems that he's sired a child with her, what he claims to be the most powerful mutant of all.]]

** BiggerBad: Issue #3 strongly suggests the presence of a ManBehindTheMan who has been manipulating the other villains.

* TooSpicyForYogSothoth: [[spoiler:Doctor Midas]] is a deranged mixture of fearless adventurer, avaricious hoarder, and megalomaniacal sociopath. He has tortured, dissected, and murdered several kinds of aliens, willingly jumped into a Cosmic Ray engine whose deadliness the energy storm the Fantastic Four what they are look like a summertime shower, and planned to hijack a Kree spaceship so he could plunder the universe of its riches. How he reacts when he and the [[spoiler:Orb]] succeed in attaining one of the Watcher's eyes, the container of untold secrets and power? With shame, discomfort, and an expressed desire to get rid of the thing. [[spoiler:This is later subverted when he realizes that they should have taken ''everything'' from the Watcher's base, not just a few things and his eyes.]]

** [[spoiler:The Dum-Dum Dugan [=LMD=] does this after giving Old Man Fury TheReasonYouSuckSpeech.]]

** ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}: Why did Matt Murdock's mother leave her family? [[spoiler:Suffering from post-partum depression, she tried to kill Matt and, after a stroke of luck with slipping on a plate of spaghetti, regained her sense enough to run, leading her to where she is now.]]

** ComicBook/{{Nova}}: What happened to the current Nova's father? (Also see the Guardians of the Galaxy's secret, which concerns the previous Nova.) [[spoiler: His father is a Nova-killing mass-murderer and still on the loose.]]
