** The Decepticons who speak in the Kimia ghetto establish their personalities immediately in a single sentence. Cyclonus disavows any affiliation with the Decepticons, seeing as how he doesn't share their values. Swindle, cheerfully and shamelessly sleazy as ever, tries to bargain his way out. Starscream gives a doubtful, scornful huff because of how things turned out--as a career schemer, he sees the Autobots' lack of coordination for what it is. Ratbat proves that once a politician, always a politician, trying to be released on account of his former social position, and immediately talking out the other side of his mouth in an attempt to rally the Decepticons to him when it fails.

* The very first scene in ''ComicBook/TheDivine'' shows Jason, in a helicopter over an Asian jungle, shooting panicked animals from a machine-gun for fun. Then a ''dragon'' pops up, and Jason, without missing a beat, shoots it in the eye from "an American-made gun" while remarking sarcastically that "they told me not to shoot it. It's bad luck in the fairy tales." It's clear that Jason's a testosterone-addled macho who doesn't believe in anything greater than himself.

This tells the reader that she ''hates'' Evronians and is intelligent enough to know how to kill them without harming non-Evronians, and hints to her being a scientist.

** Ultra Magnus is complaining about not being allowed to screen potential crewmembers, and angrily points out that he considers Autobots who wear their badge slanted untrustworthy. Then we see his P.O.V., and he's having to resist the urge to arrest [[ReformedButRejected Drift]] right there and then.
** Ratchet is talking with Bumblebee, trying to save a dying 'bot, but he fails and blames his aging hands.
** Prowl is arguing with Chromedome, with lots of subtext on both sides. Then Rewind cuts in, and he's filming the event just in case it might one day be important, instantly annoying Prowl. Later on, Rewind gets another moment when he defensively reacts to someone making a remark about having to walk somewhere (because Rewind turns into a datastick).
** Brainstorm appearing on the landing pad with a briefcase chained to his arm. Red Alert mentions his reputation as a MadScientist, backed up by Brainstorm refusing to say what's in the briefcase.
** [[{{Motormouth}} Swerve]] annoys Red Alert by jokingly calling himself "Megatron", and then squeeing about going on a quest. Red Alert informs him he can only come on board if he never speaks again.
** Rung tries to get on-board, only for Red Alert to not recognise him at all, despite Rung having been his psychiatrist for six centuries. Then he notes Rung's model-ship collection, and while describing it, Rung's arm is sliced off by a passing Cyclonus.
** Tailgate's first appearance is him at the bottom of a pit, legs gone and in a desperate need to get out to make an appointment on time. He manages to do so by blowing up some energon he had with him... and immediately freaks out on seeing an unconscious Whirl nearby.

She promptly turns invisible and walks out into public, testing her powers by taking a cab and attempting to pay the unsuspecting cabbie the fine. Ben Grimm, who is at a clothing shop in heavy disguise, hears of the signal flare and sheds his constricting clothing, revealing himself as the monsterous Thing. His debut catches the attention of the police, who open fire on him and thus force him to escape through the sewers. Johnny Storm is at a service station getting his car fixed when he learns of the flare (which by now had turned into the number 4). He flames on and flies through the air as the Human Torch. The Nation Guard attacks him with a nuclear warhead hunter missile. Two stretchy arms grab the missile before it could obliviate him and disposes of it via the sea. By now Johnny's flames had worn out and is plummeting to his death, but the strange man from before saves him, revealing himself to be Dr. Reed Richards, AKA Mr. Fantastic. And this is all before the SuperheroOrigin!

Added DiffLines:
* Cassandra Cain [[DeathSeeker throwing herself]] in front of Commissioner Gordon to prevent him from being [[TakingTheBullet shot]] by an assassin [[ScrewDestiny whom we later learn is her father]]. She swiftly becomes the new {{Comicbook/Batgirl|2000}}, with Barbara Gordon's blessing and gratitude.
* CaptainAmerica [[http://www.coverbrowser.com/image/captain-america/1-2.jpg summed up real quick.]]
* {{Batman}} first appeared on a rooftop beating up thugs.
* By far one of the most famous lines in all of comics, "[[SpiderMan Face it Tiger, you just hit the jackpot!]]" It is almost mandatory for Mary Jane to say some form of that line in any later incarnations.
** [[http://forbiddenplanet.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/face-it-tigger-you-just-hit-the-jackpot.jpg Hilariously parodied in this Winnie the Pooh image]], which was made ''[[HilariousInHindsight before]]'' Disney acquired Marvel!
* ''{{Bookhunter}}'''s opening chapter is [[BatmanColdOpen unrelated to the larger plot]], and instead serves to set the tone of the story to follow. A SWAT team has been called in to deal with a freelance censor, and when they invade his apartment, they find the perp threatening to immolate himself and the books he stole; clearly, in this universe, books are SeriousBusiness. Detective Bay's response to the standoff shows that, underneath his veneer of rationality, he is a CowboyCop willing to do completely insane things in his pursuit of criminals.
* The first dozen or so pages of ''{{Comicbook/Runaways}}'' exist solely to provide one of these for each of the kids: Gert is shown correcting her dad's Latin in the middle of an argument about politics, Chase is shown getting beaten up by his dad for getting bad grades, etc. Similarly, the first time we see AscendedFanboy Victor, he's talking about superheroes with his buddy Jorge.
* Joseph in ''ComicBook/ScottPilgrim'' seems shy and unassuming at first, but [[JerkAss the first time he opens his mouth]]...
* ''Comicbook/{{Watchmen}}''
** Rorschach's opening narration provides a glimpse into his unstable mind.
