* The premise of ''ComicBook/{{Godyssey}}'' would not work from a theological perspective but there's no denying that it's really really cool. It is thus; The Greek pantheon appears before Jesus on the cross and demands that he stop mocking divinity by renouncing the low and filthy mortals he serves. Jesus responds by removing himself from the cross and '''[[https://ghostarchive.org/archive/6Hcns beating the shit out of them all]]'''.
* ''ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk'': The Red Hulk punched [[SufficientlyAdvancedAlien a Watcher]] during one of his "[[AlienNonInterferenceClause sworn only to watch, never interfere]]" speeches to the reader. Why? Creator/JephLoeb.
* This is the ''canonical'' explanation for the name of ''ComicBook/TheAvengers''. What are they avenging? Nothing; the Wasp off-handedly suggested the name, and Ant-Man decided that it sounded cool.

* ''ComicBook/{{Nextwave}}'': Used InUniverse, where the S.I.L.E.N.T. terrorism cell and the [[FunWithAcronyms Highest Anti-Terrorism Effort]] organization both build superweapons almost entirely based on how cool they are, which annoys the StraightMan characters in the comic like Monica Rambeau who finds the over-the-top nature of their opponents annoying.

* ''ComicBook/{{Revival}}'': The comic is a gritty, realistic look at a fantastic situation. Then the Amish ninja assassin and her equally-Amish ninja assassin tween daughter appear to kick ass and take names. Only the flimsiest explanation is offered: [[spoiler:she was born Amish, got pregnant, got stabbed by a ninja, got better, then the ninja trained her]].
* ''Comicbook/RexTheWonderDog'': The series is ''made'' of this. Initially, he was simply an ordinary, non-talking non-magical dog that could fish using a rod and reel, drive cars and boats, had a successful career as a newspaper photographer, and once killed a T. rex using a nuclear bomb. Then it was revealed that he was an decorated war hero from UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, and a SuperSoldier with a similar origin to ComicBook/CaptainAmerica. Then, after all the newspaper photography career and T. rex killing, he drank from the fountain of youth, gaining the ability to speak the language of every thing that lives on planet Earth, as well as eternal youth and unspecified magical powers noted to be among the strongest on Earth.
