* ImprovisedGolems: ''[[https://hitmen.thecomicseries.com/comics/392/ Play-Doh and life]]'' is an experiment with the first imrpovised golem, which rips itself apart as it moves because its a weak material - plus it can't hear instructions from the creator. She later creates a fully function golem from [[https://hitmen.thecomicseries.com/comics/477 random scrap]], which wasn't durable but was at least able to repel the monster with a few swings.

* ScrewDestiny: When an evil character learns of their death through destiny, they often try to subvert it, using any trick necessary. However, the first "successful" attempt resulted in three baddies getting killed, cumulating in a clear sky lightning bolt, which then caused a prophecy to become broken (and thus cascades to failures later.)
