* In ''ComicBook/AstroCity'' it remained unexplained for a long time why the statue of the Silver Agent was inscribed "To our eternal shame." It was finally revealed that [[spoiler:he had been unjustly executed for a murder he committed under mind control because the government wanted to make people know they still had control over metahumans... and he ''still returned'' to save the world several times afterwards (through the use of time travel.) Furthermore, he gave himself up without a fight when he was to be executed.]].

*** "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicIDWIssue1To4 The Return of Queen Chrysalis]]": Averted in one place, as the reason for Celestia's absence is revealed to be a giant magical cockatrice attack is documented in the two-page short "In the Interim" of Issue #4. On the other hand, the [[Film/Ghostbusters1984 giant marshmallow pony attacking Manehatten]] appears to go unresolved, with Princess Luna having gotten lost on her way there.

*** The book really loves these, from adventures the Lost Light Crew had we never saw, to Swerve listing his top 5 favorite "Quests" he's been in (The Lost Light's mission being "Knight Quest"). The list include: "Moon Quest", "Titan Quest", "Matrix Quest", "Prime Quest" and the legendarily bad "Thumb Quest". Swerve brings up "[[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Thumb_Quest Thumb Quest]]" repeatedly as an example of things going bad "Oh, this is Thumb Quest all over again!", but whatever it (or any other of his quests) consists of, is unknown.

Swerve also once ''lost'' his thumb in Maccadam's bar and spent ages trying to find it, but it's never stated whether this was Thumb Quest or if that was something else...and, of course, why he lost his thumb is ''also'' not revealed.

*** During the Shadowplay arc, Rewind has arranged for groups to gather around the damaged Rung and tell their parts of a multifaceted story, thus coaxing his nervous system to reconnect itself. The main focus is on a group containing, among others, Ratchet, Whirl, Chromedome and Drift, telling a story about Cybertron before the War, but it's revealed in part three that Rewind has arranged other groups to do the same thing: one consists of Blaster, Sunstreaker, Siren, Gears and Perceptor, and one consisting of Xaaron, Dipstick, Atomizer, Slapdash and Sprocket. WordOfGod would confirm that the other groups were selected solely to make readers wonder what the heck ''they'' all did together.
*** At one point, Whirl snarks about how [[spoiler:the afterlife]] is full of angry denials and gasps of disbelief, "like that time [[NoSenseOfHumour Magnus]] tried to tell a joke." It's not clear whether this refers to an incident of {{Troll}}ing Magnus pulled on a crowd earlier in the series or some other event.
*** When Whirl and Ultra Magnus share a phone call, Magnus comments that the last time he talked to Whirl on the phone, hostages were involved. It's entirely believable, given that we ''are'' talking about [[HeroicComedicSociopath Whirl]] here, but the actual circumstances are not revealed.

** After the events of ComicBook/SecretWars2015, Cyclops seemed to be hated by everyone, including his past self, for... Something. Eventually, what it was was revealed in ''ComicBook/DeathOfX.''

* ''ComicBook/{{Nightwing}}'' and all Dick Grayson-related comics post-Flashpoint have managed to completely avoid telling the reader ''how'' Dick went from being Robin to Nightwing. Dick alludes to it in his #0, something ''intended'' to show his origin, which it did... specifically his ''Robin'' origin. At the end of the issue, his narration references him eventually going solo as Nightwing, but doesn't even slightly hint as to why. It's not even clear if Dick quit or was fired. The only elaboration is, years later in a ''Grayson'' annual, we learn that the Nightwing name does indeed still come from Superman.

It's not a Noodle Incident if the characters don't know the whole story, just if the audience doesn't.


** The events of ''ComicBook/TheUnknownSupergirl'' were a "What was that about?" moment for ComicBook/LexLuthor: a woman sneaks into his cell, calling herself Supergirl and claiming to want to be his partner-in-crime, and talks him into building a Kryptonite ray. Then she leaves his cell, promising to return... and she never does. Lex never found out who she was, where she came from, or why she disappeared.



** ''ComicBook/TheImmortalSuperman'': In the year 801,970, five astronauts are rescued by Superman, who disappeared eight hundred thousand years ago, and who now looks old and wizened. The astronauts right away ask what happened to him, but Superman is not in the mood for answering questions and simply flies off. They never see him again.
** In ''ComicBook/SupermanVsShazam'', ComicBook/LoisLane sees Superman and Captain Marvel flying away together shortly after their battle across America and wonders whether she will ever find out why they were attempting to kill each other earlier.



** ''ComicBook/LetMyPeopleGrow'': The whole incident must be very weird from ComicBook/{{Brainiac}}'s point of view: suddenly, Superman starts emitting waves which get him pissed off enough to go back to Earth, refuses to turn them off, and tricks him into shrinking him. Why? Not even he can calculate it.
