** "ComicBook/BrainiacRebirth": Clark Kent notices Brainiac's ship approaching Earth right when his boss is berating him about his unexplained absences and ordering him to getting down to the studio. Clark is not in the mood to come up with some good lie, so he makes a show of snapping back at Morgan Edge and storming off and into his own office, where he changes clothes.



** This happens constantly to the eponymous heroine. After several decades of super-heroing, she has used all kind of tricks and excuses.

** The two undisputed kings of this trope, Spider-Man and Franchise/{{Superman}}, had an opportunity in the late 1990s to perform this on each other. During the massive Marvel/DC crossover, where characters from either universe get cosmically transported to the opposite universe. IE: Spidey winds up in DC, Robin winds up in Marvel, etc., freelance photographer Peter Parker gets assigned to work with reporter Clark Kent. Naturally, while they're out covering a story, something goes down. Spider-sense goes off, super-hearing picks up trouble. Despite their practice at keeping secrets, they both start an excuse and don't even finish it.

** ''ComicBook/TheSuperDuelInSpace'': Clark Kent and other reports have been invited to fly in the Columbus spaceship during the first manned space voyage. When they are attacked by Brainiac, though, Clark needs an excuse to abandon the spaceship, so that he picks a spacesuit and a jetpack, pretends he has becomes frightened enough to try to fly back to Earth on his own, and leaps out of a hatch. Once he is out of sight, Clark changes clothes.
