Superman demands to know who he is and Darkseid just stands there, not saying a thing. After a little pushing, Darkseid uses his Omega Beams to torture Superman and forces him to bow down and finally responds with "''THAT'' is who I am."

* DaffyDuck's "I'm just a crazy ol' darnfool duck" line from his debut in "Film/PorkysDuckHunt".
* Azula's first appearance (as a named character) in ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' is one of these. We can tell from her first appearance that she is a vicious creature, and that is pretty much the truth all the way through the series. We also get a more subtle hint of her vanity when she blows a loose strand of hair out of her face with a peeved look, which only makes her [[spoiler:VillainousBreakdown much later all the more epic]].
-->'''Azula:''' Do the tides command this ship?\\
'''Captain:''' Uh, I'm afraid I don't understand.\\
'''Azula:''' You said the tides would not allow us to bring this ship in. Do the tides command this ship?\\
'''Captain:''' No, Princess.\\
'''Azula:''' And if I were to have you thrown overboard, would the tides think twice about smashing you against the rocky shore?\\
'''Captain:''' No, Princess.\\
'''Azula:''' Well then, maybe you should worry less about the tides, who have already made up their minds about killing you, and worry more about me, who's still mulling it over.
** Another is her arguable ''actual'' first appearance, during Zuko's flashback in "The Storm". All you can guess about her is that she's family by the fact that she's standing next to Iroh, has yellow eyes, and is dressed in very similar robes, but when she's seen ''smiling'' as Zuko gets disfigured, you ''know'' she's going to be trouble whenever she'll show up. True enough...
*** Similarly, Ozai's first talking-and-doing-things appearance (as opposed to the brief silhouette he got a few episodes earlier) features him burning Zuko's face. His own son. In public. As the thirteen year old boy begs for mercy. That's pretty much all we need to know about the guy.
** Toph's entrance, which consists of her effortlessly beating a man about five times her size in the Earth Rumble ring without breaking a sweat also qualifies her as a LittleMissBadass. Did we mention that she's also [[DisabilitySuperpower blind]]?
--->'''[[LargeHam The Boulder]]''': [[ThirdPersonPerson The Boulder]] feels conflicted about fighting a young blind girl.\\
'''Toph''': [[LittleMissSnarker Sounds to me like you're scared, Boulder!]]\\
'''The Boulder''': ...The Boulder is over his conflicted feelings and now he's ready to bury you in a rockalanche!\\
'''Toph''': [[TrashTalk Whenever you're ready, the Pebble!]] (''laughs'')
** Even earlier is Aang's, where after being restored from a HumanPopsicle, his first words were to ask Katara if she wanted to go penguin-sledding.
** Mai is established as a DeadpanSnarker EmotionlessGirl and formidable {{Ninja}} and KnifeNut in less than a minute.
* Terry [=McGinnis=]' first scene in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' had him defending monorail passengers from a Jokerz gang member harassing them. Later scenes showed him with a bad attitude and temper, but [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold established his character arc]] for the first few episodes.
* ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'''s first appearance has the [[TheNapoleon vertically-challenged megalomaniac]] recalling how he single-handedly thwarted his species' previous attempts at universal conquest by directing his HumongousMecha on a planet-wide rampage ''[[MikeNelsonDestroyerOfWorlds while he was still on his own planet]]''. Though what really establishes his personality is that he brings this up ''proudly'' and doesn't seem to understand why his bosses aren't pleased with him about it.
-->'''Zim''': I put the fires out.\\
'''Tallest Red''': You made them ''worse!''\\
'''Zim''': Worse...''or better?''
** Then there's GIR...
--->'''GIR''': GIR, reporting for duty.
--->'''Zim''': GIR? What does the "G" stand for?
--->'''GIR''': [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} I don't know]]...(''suddenly begins giggling and hitting himself on the head'')
* Used with Shego in the pilot of ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'', where she instantly shows off how GenreSavvy she is.
** Averted with Drakken in the very same episode, when he disabled an outside camera by rope gliding. [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness He never did such feats ever again.]]
** Ron Stoppable's first moments establish him as the Goofy Best Friend:
--->'''Kim''': A naked mole rat? Ron, ever think about getting a normal pet?\\
'''Ron''': Like what?\\
'''Kim''': Something not naked. (Rufus [[BlowingARaspberry blows a raspberry]] at Kim)\\
'''Ron''': (dramatically) Never be normal, that's the Ron Stoppable motto!
* WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck's very first scene in his premiere episode perfectly illustrates that "ego the size of a small planet" Taurus Bulba will later summarize. It leaves no doubt what this protagonist's personality is like.
* ''RubyGloom'''s [[OneWePreparedEarlier first episode]] gives introductory scenes to most of the cast. The best one may be Misery's, where a few sentences into an already gloomy conversation, she puts the always-optimistic Ruby at a temporary loss for words by describing her own genetic predisposition toward being struck by lightning.
** Two seconds later, Ruby further establishes her own character by changing the subject and managing to lift her spirits a little anyway.
* General Grievous' first appearance in ''StarWars'' canon is the season one finale of ''StarWarsCloneWars'', where he takes on a team of six Jedi, and kills or incapacitates all but one of them.
** Unfortunately, while Grievous' reputation as a dangerous foe carried over into ''RevengeOfTheSith'', all of his screen time is spent running away or getting his butt handed to him by Obi-Wan. So in the ExpandedUniverse, Grievous is quickly established as a legitimate threat, but in the movie it just comes across as an InformedAbility.
** In the movie, he first appears as a skull-faced boss villain, and the first thing he does is coughing uncontrollably. Thus: He is sick (In fact he suffers from IncurableCoughOfDeath), and he cannot be a robot because he is sick (CyberneticsEatYourSoul, someone?), so there must be something organic somewhere to [[DragonTheirFeet Dragon His Fett]]. An Establishing Character Moment saying he's a pitiful, or by now at least pitiable, villain.
** The shift in characterization is a result of the constantly shifting production of Episode III. While initially he was supposed to be a powerful and feared Jedi hunter, Lucas decided to rewrite the character as a moustache-twirling coward. The ''in-story'' reason is that towards the end of the Clone Wars cartoon, [[{{Badass}} Mace]] [[SamuelLJackson Windu]] Force-Crushes his chest--and with it, his few remaining organs, leaving Grievous horribly weakened during the events of Episode III. As for Grievous vs. Kenobi? Obi-Wan is considered the master (not ''a'' master, ''the'' master) of the ultimate defensive lightsaber form, and thus could block all Grievous' attacks 'cause he's so damn good at blocking attacks. And when Grievous kept failing to hit him, he got angry, which made him get sloppy, which made him get angrier, which made him get sloppier, and...you get it.
*** Very true. A deleted scene gives him a very different ECM...with him executing Shaak Ti. Being a deleted scene this was retconned [[spoiler: and her death was saved for a much later CrowningMomentOfAwesome for Vader's Apprentice.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'''s Glenn Quagmire and his dealings with a woman he picked up earlier that night:
-->'''Woman''': Hey, Glenn, I have a question for you: what do you do for a living?\\
'''Quagmire''': ''(wearing a lecherous grin)'' And I have a question for you: ''why are you still here?''
* Blitzwing from ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'' gets a particularly epic one in his first scene, firmly placing him as a [[EnsembleDarkhorse fan favorite]] for the new series:
-->'''[[AnIcePerson Icy Blitzwing]]''': As usual Blackarachnia: your demeanor is as unpleasant as zat accursed organic mode of yours.\\
'''[[DarkActionGirl Blackarachnia]]''': Blow it out your [[UnusualEuphemism actuator]], three-face.\\
'''[[TheAhnold Hothead Blitzwing]]''': Ze name is Blitzwing, insect! Remember it! Cause it's the last thing you will hear before I-\\
'''[[CloudCuckooLander Random Blitzwing]]''': -express my feelings in song! ''Ze itsy bitsy spider...''
** Really that entire scene is an ECM for the Decepticons. We see Starscream being [[TheStarscream starscreamy]], Lugnut [[UndyingLoyalty calling him a traitor]] and [[TheRenfield praising his GLORIOUS master]], the aforementioned conversation between Blitzwing and Blackarachnia, and Megs himself being the imposing and powerful leader he is.
* The first episode of ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramaIsland'' was full of this. Some memorable ones were Owen's excitement, Cody's CasanovaWannabe entrance, Leshawna starting a fight with Harold, and Tyler and Bridgette's {{Dojikko}} behavior. Courtney's unwillingness to jump and Heather's prissy, strategic AlphaBitch status were also partly revealed in the second episode.
* After being played up as TheAce by Eddy throughout ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'''s run, Eddy's brother's first act in TheMovie is [[ComedicSociopathy to beat up Eddy and Edd]]. So instead of the great guy Eddy's portrayed him as, Eddy's brother is a monster who tortures children for fun. [[FridgeHorror And he works at an amusement park]]. [[spoiler: [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome He's defeated by Ed.]]]]
* Dinobot enters ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'' by [[DefectorFromDecadence defecting from the Predacons]] and challenging the Maximals' leader, Optimus Primal, to a duel to the death for leadership. Up to now, he's been portrayed as a back-stabbing villain, fully subscribing to his race's [[TheStarscream tradition of treachery and dishonor]]. Then, when Optimus Primal slips and nearly falls off the narrow bridge they're fighting on, Dinobot helps him up, revealing himself to be a decent, honorable guy, for all that it's worth. This quote illustrates it;
-->'''Optimus Primal:''' What're you doing? You'd won!
-->'''Dinobot:''' You slipped. To defeat you in such a manner would be [[HonorBeforeReason lacking in honor]]. ''I'' would not have earned the right to lead. I prefer to defeat my opponents the old fashioned way--''BRUTALLY''!
* In the first full-length ''[[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Simpsons]]'' episode ever broadcast, "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire", Lisa's intelligence and precociousness are demonstrated by her eloquently telling off her Aunt Patty for badmouthing Homer.
-->'''Lisa:''' What, Aunt Patty?
-->'''Patty:''' Oh, nothing, dear. I'm just trashing your father.
-->'''Lisa:''' Well, I wish you wouldn't because, aside from the fact that he has the same frailties as all human beings, he's the only father I have. Therefore, he is my model of manhood, and my estimation of him will govern the prospects of my adult relationships. So I hope you bear in mind that any knock at him is a knock at me, and I am far too young to defend myself against such onslaughts.
-->'''Patty:''' Mm hm. Go watch your cartoon show, dear.
* Showing that ''Transformers'' loves this trope, ''[[WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime Prime]]'' has Knock-Out and Breakdown, AKA ThoseTwoBadGuys, who not only show themselves as AmbiguouslyGay and being TheBrute, but their first fight scene has them overpowering the Autobots in a fight.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': When we first meet Twilight in "Friendship is Magic Pt 1", she's studying with her friend/assistant Spike, who's trying to get her to relax. After being sent to Ponyville, she meets the rest of the main cast through a series of these. Pinkie Pie jumps in the air and promptly runs away. Applejack invites her to brunch with her large family. Rainbow Dash crashes into Twilight and sends her into a mud puddle, tries and fails to clean her up, proudly declares her ambition to join an elite aerial team, and clears the sky in ten seconds. Rarity is decorating for the Summer Sun festival and gives Twilight a makeover. Fluttershy is helping small animals and is painfully shy. And Pinkie Pie wasn't scared of Twilight; she just left to throw her a party. Yes, ''the second they met''.
** In "Luna Eclipsed", we finally get to see how Princess Luna normally acts. The answer? '''[[IncomingHam VERY LOUD]]'''!
** In "Return of Harmony Part 1", Discord first appears in the stained glass windows, demonstrating a sense of humour and mystery, as well as great knowledge of the Mane Six.
-->'''Discord:''' Make sense? Oh, what fun is there in making sense?
*** Another part of this that helps establish him is Princess Celestia's (the only one present that actually knows him) reaction to Discord in the scene. She takes him dead seriously and tries her best to stop his {{Hannibal Lecture}}s from getting started, showing him to be a very serious threat.
* Comicbook/BlackWidow briefly appears in the ''WesternAnimation/AvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes'' episode "Breakout", the first to air on DisneyXD. Her appearance can be summed up as "[[MaleGaze buttshot]], [[MyEyesAreUpHere full-length bodyshot]], [[MaleGaze walking away buttshot]], exit".
** Similarly, on that show, IronMan first appears in "Breakout" (following some scenes in promotional shorts and a compilation of those shorts) as he effortlessly breaks up a weapons sale, tells off DoctorDoom's representative, blows off NickFury and SHIELD, and dismisses a request that soon comes back to massively bite him (and everyone else) in the ass.
*** If you ''do'' count the shorts and their compilations, Iron Man's establishing moments come when he fights a giant robot and shrugs off advice that he'd be better off making weapons than fighting evil directly and alone.
** TheWasp's establishing moment comes in the short "Enter the Whirlwind" (also featured in the show's fifth chronological episode), when she tells Ant-Man that the two of them need to find a better use of their time than private scientific research, then exclaims to him during a battle with Whirlwind that they could use their powers to benefit others through crimefighting.
** With Black Widow at his side, {{Hawkeye}} makes his debut in "Hulk vs. The World" by striking the Hulk with two arrows, descending from a plane on a zip line, and quipping, "Tick tick boom!" right before the arrows explode.
* Looking back at the first episode of [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003 the 2003 TMNT series]] it's hilarious how straightforward this was. As the first scene was a practice session, we were treated to, in order, Donatello and Michelangelo being berated for their failed attempts to [[ItMakesSenseInContext put out a candle]] with some amount of fondness from Splinter, "Poor choice, Raphael", and Leonardo succeeding where his brothers failed. That pretty much sums up the entire series, with, perhaps, more jokes and TechnoBabble from Mike and Don, respectively.
** There's also the first verbal exchange between Raphael and Leonardo, right after the training session:
--> '''Raph''': Teacher's pet!
--> '''Leo''': Ninja dropout!
--> '''Mikey & Don''': [[DoNotTauntCthulhu Oooooooh!]]
* Although a well-established character in other media and previous shows, even if you didn't know anything about the character, the opening theme for ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' [[http://www.comicsalliance.com/2011/11/04/ask-chris-78-why-the-batman-the-animated-series-opening-is/ told you pretty much all you needed to know about Batman in 30 seconds]].
* In ''DrawnTogether'', a few happen in the first episode.
** Clara, upon meeting Foxxy for the first time, assumes she's a servant and asks her to fetch her bags, which Foxxy does not take well.
** Captain Hero's desire for AnythingThatMoves is indicated when he confesses that he'd "stick and stir any one of those broads," but wants a "hot black chick," too. When that is granted, he waits, in vain, for a twelve year old and a donkey to come.
** Toot gets two. Her first is dancing in an attempt to impress Xandir and causing the entire house to shake. Her second, after deciding to become "the bitch" is [[KickTheDog to lie to Xandir's kidnapped girlfriend and claim that he's cheating on her]].
* ''TransformersGeneration1''. The first things that come out of Starscream's mouth is how the Autobots would have lost a long time ago if he was in charge, establishing him as, well, TheStarscream.
** Again, Transformers loves this one. Usually it's done in the form of an Introdump.
* ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'' establishes the three main characters pretty well in the first episode. Jackie in his first scene is shown [[AdventurerArchaeologist dodging flying arrows in a Bavarian castle]] as well as using [[ImprovisedWeapon improvised weapons]] to do so. Uncle first appears like a sweet, caring old man before going straight to his trademark DopeSlap and his CatchPhrase "... [[AndAnotherThing and one more thing!]]" Jade is shown breaking into the underground military base of one of the most elite police organizations and hijacking a mopeds in her first attempt to "help" Jackie.
* The first appearance Dr. Rockzo The Rock n' Roll Clown on ''{{Metalocalypse}}''. Try to guess what he does [[spoiler: He does cocaine.]]:
-->Oooh ka-ka-ka-ka-ka-ka co-ka-ka-ka-yeeeaaaaah! I'm Dr. Rockzo the Rock n'Roll Clown! I do cocaine! I hear it's somebody's biiiiiirrrrrrthdayyyy! I do cocaine! Dr. Roczo's gonna make you a balloon bass! (Seriously, dude, a lot of cocaine).
* In ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCats2011'', the first scene of the new series is not only an ECM for [[TheHero Lion-O]], but for the kingdom of Thundera as well. After hearing what a [[UnreliableNarrator great and noble kingdom Thundera is from Jaga's voice over]], we see the slums of Thundera where a group of {{Cat|People}}s [[FantasticRacism harass an innocent Dog and later torment a pair of stockaded Lizards]].
** This also gives a great ECM for Lion-O as well. After witnessing the Cats harass the Dog, he gets in trouble for standing up to them and has to be bailed out by [[ActionGirl Cheetara]]. Why is the crown prince of Thundera sneaking to the slums anyways? To find rare and obscure pieces of "technology," which everyone else believes to be a myth.
* WoodyWoodpecker established his heckler nature by literally bursting onto the screen, saying a smug "Guess Who", dodging a subsequent blow from Poppa Panda, retorts by honking his nose like a horn, and then unleashes his legendary laughter as he treks off to reek havoc on the Panda's rooftop. His second, albeit first solo appearance in "The Cracked Nut", where he sings a BraggingThemeTune about how he's crazy and he's proud of it is also another one of these moments.
* DaffyDuck's "I'm just a crazy ol' darnfool duck" line from his debut in "Film/PorkysDuckHunt".
* Azula's first appearance (as a named character) in ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' is one of these. We can tell from her first appearance that she is a vicious creature, and that is pretty much the truth all the way through the series. We also get a more subtle hint of her vanity when she blows a loose strand of hair out of her face with a peeved look, which only makes her [[spoiler:VillainousBreakdown much later all the more epic]].

'''The Boulder''': ...The Boulder is over his conflicted feelings and now he's ready to bury you in a rockalanche!\\
'''Toph''': [[TrashTalk Whenever you're ready, the Pebble!]] (''laughs'')
** Even earlier is Aang's, where after being restored from a HumanPopsicle, his first words were to ask Katara if she wanted to go penguin-sledding.
** Mai is established as a DeadpanSnarker EmotionlessGirl and formidable {{Ninja}} and KnifeNut in less than a minute.
* Terry [=McGinnis=]' first scene in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' had him defending monorail passengers from a Jokerz gang member harassing them. Later scenes showed him with a bad attitude and temper, but [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold established his character arc]] for the first few episodes.
* ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'''s first appearance has the [[TheNapoleon vertically-challenged megalomaniac]] recalling how he single-handedly thwarted his species' previous attempts at universal conquest by directing his HumongousMecha on a planet-wide rampage ''[[MikeNelsonDestroyerOfWorlds while he was still on his own planet]]''. Though what really establishes his personality is that he brings this up ''proudly'' and doesn't seem to understand why his bosses aren't pleased with him about it.
-->'''Zim''': I put the fires out.\\
'''Tallest Red''': You made them ''worse!''\\
'''Zim''': Worse...''or better?''
** Then there's GIR...
--->'''GIR''': GIR, reporting for duty.
--->'''Zim''': GIR? What does the "G" stand for?
--->'''GIR''': [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} I don't know]]...(''suddenly begins giggling and hitting himself on the head'')
* Used with Shego in the pilot of ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'', where she instantly shows off how GenreSavvy she is.
** Averted with Drakken in the very same episode, when he disabled an outside camera by rope gliding. [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness He never did such feats ever again.]]
** Ron Stoppable's first moments establish him as the Goofy Best Friend:
--->'''Kim''': A naked mole rat? Ron, ever think about getting a normal pet?\\
'''Ron''': Like what?\\
'''Kim''': Something not naked. (Rufus [[BlowingARaspberry blows a raspberry]] at Kim)\\
'''Ron''': (dramatically) Never be normal, that's the Ron Stoppable motto!
* WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck's very first scene in his premiere episode perfectly illustrates that "ego the size of a small planet" Taurus Bulba will later summarize. It leaves no doubt what this protagonist's personality is like.
* ''RubyGloom'''s [[OneWePreparedEarlier first episode]] gives introductory scenes to most of the cast. The best one may be Misery's, where a few sentences into an already gloomy conversation, she puts the always-optimistic Ruby at a temporary loss for words by describing her own genetic predisposition toward being struck by lightning.
** Two seconds later, Ruby further establishes her own character by changing the subject and managing to lift her spirits a little anyway.
* General Grievous' first appearance in ''StarWars'' canon is the season one finale of ''StarWarsCloneWars'', where he takes on a team of six Jedi, and kills or incapacitates all but one of them.
** Unfortunately, while Grievous' reputation as a dangerous foe carried over into ''RevengeOfTheSith'', all of his screen time is spent running away or getting his butt handed to him by Obi-Wan. So in the ExpandedUniverse, Grievous is quickly established as a legitimate threat, but in the movie it just comes across as an InformedAbility.
** In the movie, he first appears as a skull-faced boss villain, and the first thing he does is coughing uncontrollably. Thus: He is sick (In fact he suffers from IncurableCoughOfDeath), and he cannot be a robot because he is sick (CyberneticsEatYourSoul, someone?), so there must be something organic somewhere to [[DragonTheirFeet Dragon His Fett]]. An Establishing Character Moment saying he's a pitiful, or by now at least pitiable, villain.
** The shift in characterization is a result of the constantly shifting production of Episode III. While initially he was supposed to be a powerful and feared Jedi hunter, Lucas decided to rewrite the character as a moustache-twirling coward. The ''in-story'' reason is that towards the end of the Clone Wars cartoon, [[{{Badass}} Mace]] [[SamuelLJackson Windu]] Force-Crushes his chest--and with it, his few remaining organs, leaving Grievous horribly weakened during the events of Episode III. As for Grievous vs. Kenobi? Obi-Wan is considered the master (not ''a'' master, ''the'' master) of the ultimate defensive lightsaber form, and thus could block all Grievous' attacks 'cause he's so damn good at blocking attacks. And when Grievous kept failing to hit him, he got angry, which made him get sloppy, which made him get angrier, which made him get sloppier, and...you get it.
*** Very true. A deleted scene gives him a very different ECM...with him executing Shaak Ti. Being a deleted scene this was retconned [[spoiler: and her death was saved for a much later CrowningMomentOfAwesome for Vader's Apprentice.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'''s Glenn Quagmire and his dealings with a woman he picked up earlier that night:
-->'''Woman''': Hey, Glenn, I have a question for you: what do you do for a living?\\
'''Quagmire''': ''(wearing a lecherous grin)'' And I have a question for you: ''why are you still here?''
* Blitzwing from ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'' gets a particularly epic one in his first scene, firmly placing him as a [[EnsembleDarkhorse fan favorite]] for the new series:
-->'''[[AnIcePerson Icy Blitzwing]]''': As usual Blackarachnia: your demeanor is as unpleasant as zat accursed organic mode of yours.\\
'''[[DarkActionGirl Blackarachnia]]''': Blow it out your [[UnusualEuphemism actuator]], three-face.\\
'''[[TheAhnold Hothead Blitzwing]]''': Ze name is Blitzwing, insect! Remember it! Cause it's the last thing you will hear before I-\\
'''[[CloudCuckooLander Random Blitzwing]]''': -express my feelings in song! ''Ze itsy bitsy spider...''
** Really that entire scene is an ECM for the Decepticons. We see Starscream being [[TheStarscream starscreamy]], Lugnut [[UndyingLoyalty calling him a traitor]] and [[TheRenfield praising his GLORIOUS master]], the aforementioned conversation between Blitzwing and Blackarachnia, and Megs himself being the imposing and powerful leader he is.
* The first episode of ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramaIsland'' was full of this. Some memorable ones were Owen's excitement, Cody's CasanovaWannabe entrance, Leshawna starting a fight with Harold, and Tyler and Bridgette's {{Dojikko}} behavior. Courtney's unwillingness to jump and Heather's prissy, strategic AlphaBitch status were also partly revealed in the second episode.
* After being played up as TheAce by Eddy throughout ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'''s run, Eddy's brother's first act in TheMovie is [[ComedicSociopathy to beat up Eddy and Edd]]. So instead of the great guy Eddy's portrayed him as, Eddy's brother is a monster who tortures children for fun. [[FridgeHorror And he works at an amusement park]]. [[spoiler: [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome He's defeated by Ed.]]]]
* Dinobot enters ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'' by [[DefectorFromDecadence defecting from the Predacons]] and challenging the Maximals' leader, Optimus Primal, to a duel to the death for leadership. Up to now, he's been portrayed as a back-stabbing villain, fully subscribing to his race's [[TheStarscream tradition of treachery and dishonor]]. Then, when Optimus Primal slips and nearly falls off the narrow bridge they're fighting on, Dinobot helps him up, revealing himself to be a decent, honorable guy, for all that it's worth. This quote illustrates it;
-->'''Optimus Primal:''' What're you doing? You'd won!
-->'''Dinobot:''' You slipped. To defeat you in such a manner would be [[HonorBeforeReason lacking in honor]]. ''I'' would not have earned the right to lead. I prefer to defeat my opponents the old fashioned way--''BRUTALLY''!
* In the first full-length ''[[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Simpsons]]'' episode ever broadcast, "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire", Lisa's intelligence and precociousness are demonstrated by her eloquently telling off her Aunt Patty for badmouthing Homer.
-->'''Lisa:''' What, Aunt Patty?
-->'''Patty:''' Oh, nothing, dear. I'm just trashing your father.
-->'''Lisa:''' Well, I wish you wouldn't because, aside from the fact that he has the same frailties as all human beings, he's the only father I have. Therefore, he is my model of manhood, and my estimation of him will govern the prospects of my adult relationships. So I hope you bear in mind that any knock at him is a knock at me, and I am far too young to defend myself against such onslaughts.
-->'''Patty:''' Mm hm. Go watch your cartoon show, dear.
* Showing that ''Transformers'' loves this trope, ''[[WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime Prime]]'' has Knock-Out and Breakdown, AKA ThoseTwoBadGuys, who not only show themselves as AmbiguouslyGay and being TheBrute, but their first fight scene has them overpowering the Autobots in a fight.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': When we first meet Twilight in "Friendship is Magic Pt 1", she's studying with her friend/assistant Spike, who's trying to get her to relax. After being sent to Ponyville, she meets the rest of the main cast through a series of these. Pinkie Pie jumps in the air and promptly runs away. Applejack invites her to brunch with her large family. Rainbow Dash crashes into Twilight and sends her into a mud puddle, tries and fails to clean her up, proudly declares her ambition to join an elite aerial team, and clears the sky in ten seconds. Rarity is decorating for the Summer Sun festival and gives Twilight a makeover. Fluttershy is helping small animals and is painfully shy. And Pinkie Pie wasn't scared of Twilight; she just left to throw her a party. Yes, ''the second they met''.
** In "Luna Eclipsed", we finally get to see how Princess Luna normally acts. The answer? '''[[IncomingHam VERY LOUD]]'''!
** In "Return of Harmony Part 1", Discord first appears in the stained glass windows, demonstrating a sense of humour and mystery, as well as great knowledge of the Mane Six.
-->'''Discord:''' Make sense? Oh, what fun is there in making sense?
*** Another part of this that helps establish him is Princess Celestia's (the only one present that actually knows him) reaction to Discord in the scene. She takes him dead seriously and tries her best to stop his {{Hannibal Lecture}}s from getting started, showing him to be a very serious threat.
* Comicbook/BlackWidow briefly appears in the ''WesternAnimation/AvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes'' episode "Breakout", the first to air on DisneyXD. Her appearance can be summed up as "[[MaleGaze buttshot]], [[MyEyesAreUpHere full-length bodyshot]], [[MaleGaze walking away buttshot]], exit".
** Similarly, on that show, IronMan first appears in "Breakout" (following some scenes in promotional shorts and a compilation of those shorts) as he effortlessly breaks up a weapons sale, tells off DoctorDoom's representative, blows off NickFury and SHIELD, and dismisses a request that soon comes back to massively bite him (and everyone else) in the ass.
*** If you ''do'' count the shorts and their compilations, Iron Man's establishing moments come when he fights a giant robot and shrugs off advice that he'd be better off making weapons than fighting evil directly and alone.
** TheWasp's establishing moment comes in the short "Enter the Whirlwind" (also featured in the show's fifth chronological episode), when she tells Ant-Man that the two of them need to find a better use of their time than private scientific research, then exclaims to him during a battle with Whirlwind that they could use their powers to benefit others through crimefighting.
** With Black Widow at his side, {{Hawkeye}} makes his debut in "Hulk vs. The World" by striking the Hulk with two arrows, descending from a plane on a zip line, and quipping, "Tick tick boom!" right before the arrows explode.
* Looking back at the first episode of [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003 the 2003 TMNT series]] it's hilarious how straightforward this was. As the first scene was a practice session, we were treated to, in order, Donatello and Michelangelo being berated for their failed attempts to [[ItMakesSenseInContext put out a candle]] with some amount of fondness from Splinter, "Poor choice, Raphael", and Leonardo succeeding where his brothers failed. That pretty much sums up the entire series, with, perhaps, more jokes and TechnoBabble from Mike and Don, respectively.
** There's also the first verbal exchange between Raphael and Leonardo, right after the training session:
--> '''Raph''': Teacher's pet!
--> '''Leo''': Ninja dropout!
--> '''Mikey & Don''': [[DoNotTauntCthulhu Oooooooh!]]
* Although a well-established character in other media and previous shows, even if you didn't know anything about the character, the opening theme for ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' [[http://www.comicsalliance.com/2011/11/04/ask-chris-78-why-the-batman-the-animated-series-opening-is/ told you pretty much all you needed to know about Batman in 30 seconds]].
* In ''DrawnTogether'', a few happen in the first episode.
** Clara, upon meeting Foxxy for the first time, assumes she's a servant and asks her to fetch her bags, which Foxxy does not take well.
** Captain Hero's desire for AnythingThatMoves is indicated when he confesses that he'd "stick and stir any one of those broads," but wants a "hot black chick," too. When that is granted, he waits, in vain, for a twelve year old and a donkey to come.
** Toot gets two. Her first is dancing in an attempt to impress Xandir and causing the entire house to shake. Her second, after deciding to become "the bitch" is [[KickTheDog to lie to Xandir's kidnapped girlfriend and claim that he's cheating on her]].
* ''TransformersGeneration1''. The first things that come out of Starscream's mouth is how the Autobots would have lost a long time ago if he was in charge, establishing him as, well, TheStarscream.
** Again, Transformers loves this one. Usually it's done in the form of an Introdump.
* ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'' establishes the three main characters pretty well in the first episode. Jackie in his first scene is shown [[AdventurerArchaeologist dodging flying arrows in a Bavarian castle]] as well as using [[ImprovisedWeapon improvised weapons]] to do so. Uncle first appears like a sweet, caring old man before going straight to his trademark DopeSlap and his CatchPhrase "... [[AndAnotherThing and one more thing!]]" Jade is shown breaking into the underground military base of one of the most elite police organizations and hijacking a mopeds in her first attempt to "help" Jackie.
* The first appearance Dr. Rockzo The Rock n' Roll Clown on ''{{Metalocalypse}}''. Try to guess what he does [[spoiler: He does cocaine.]]:
-->Oooh ka-ka-ka-ka-ka-ka co-ka-ka-ka-yeeeaaaaah! I'm Dr. Rockzo the Rock n'Roll Clown! I do cocaine! I hear it's somebody's biiiiiirrrrrrthdayyyy! I do cocaine! Dr. Roczo's gonna make you a balloon bass! (Seriously, dude, a lot of cocaine).
* In ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCats2011'', the first scene of the new series is not only an ECM for [[TheHero Lion-O]], but for the kingdom of Thundera as well. After hearing what a [[UnreliableNarrator great and noble kingdom Thundera is from Jaga's voice over]], we see the slums of Thundera where a group of {{Cat|People}}s [[FantasticRacism harass an innocent Dog and later torment a pair of stockaded Lizards]].
** This also gives a great ECM for Lion-O as well. After witnessing the Cats harass the Dog, he gets in trouble for standing up to them and has to be bailed out by [[ActionGirl Cheetara]]. Why is the crown prince of Thundera sneaking to the slums anyways? To find rare and obscure pieces of "technology," which everyone else believes to be a myth.
