** In ''ComicBook/DCRetroactiveSuperman - The 80's'', Earth-One Superman has a nightmare where -among other things- he sees Supergirl dying. When he wakes up he barely remembers his dream, but he is very shaken and frightened, and he calls his cousin to ask her to be careful. Kara dismisses his fears, reminding him that "There's not much that can hurt [her]"... and then she mentions that [[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Plakld5wb0s/TkUeyzQsojI/AAAAAAAAMkE/hwV1bgRGnsQ/s1600/dc+sm+80s-08.jpg the morning sky is red...]] A little after she'd get killed in the ''Comicbook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths''.

---->'''ComicBook/LoisLane:''' "Notices the two extended fingers! I think this Faora overcame Superman with a secret fighting technique... One of the Kryptonian equivalents of Karate or Aikido! Not Klurkor-- I know that art myself-- but some other kind!"\\
'''ComicBook/JimmyOlsen:''' Of course! She knew the pressure points where she could inflict the most damage!"\\
'''Steve Lombard:''' "Come off it, guys-- If you expect me to believe one measly little pressure point could-- Hey! Owwwwww!"\\
'''Lois Lane:''' "I picked up this measly little trick from a policewoman pal of mine! If I used Klurkor or Karate-- It would hurt even more!"\\
'''Steve Lombard:''' "Okay, okay, I give! Just let go!"

'''Krypto:''' *growls*

'''Reactron:''' (smugly) Not from me.\\

'''Reactron:''' (pleadingly) No, please, it wasn't me-- Mon-El's alive! He's alive! It was the witch, Mirabai, she did it, she disguises me and Metallo, she used magic-- even the bomb, the water, it was alll General Lane's idea!

--->'''Guard:''' ''"But, warden, was it wise to let Lex Luthor work in a lab?"''\\
'''Warden:''' ''"Governor's orders! Luthor volunteered to find a cure for a strange epidemic that's destroying the cattle herds in this state! Besides, this is a biochemical lab, designed for experiments on animal diseases! What harm can he do here?"''\\
'''Lex Luthor:''' (thinking) ''"Will the fools never learn? My scientific wizardry could convert a sandpile into an atomic pile!"''

--->'''Superboy:''' ''"I must capture him and examine him! Luckily, he can't fly!"''\\
''<Dog soars upwards>''\\
'''Narrator:''' ''"What did you say, Superboy?..."''\\
'''Superboy:''' ''"That, too?"''

--->'''Superman:''' ''"That strange storm cloud seems to have popped out of nowhere! Well, I suppose that's what I get for thinking this would be a routine patrol."''

** ''ComicBook/UltimateXMen'': The guards shout "Freeze, you freaks!". Cyclops pointed "You, you really shouldn't give Iceman openings like that, mister".

'''ComicBook/{{Huntress}}:''' (dryly) You were saying, P.G.?

** From the short in Issue #1: "Its not like I'm going to get in trouble in the three seconds she's gone." Says the pony best known for being [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny easily distracted]].

** ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}''/''Franchise/MastersOfTheUniverse'' crossover "ComicBook/FromEterniaWithDeath": Superman starts his daily patrol, expecting to not run into any trouble, and he then finds a strange cloud forming over Metropolis.

* ''ComicBook/{{Infinity}}'': the leader of [[AbusivePrecursors the Builders]] demands that the Avengers and their allies surrender, with the Builder forces heading straight towards Earth. [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]], wishing to avoid further bloodshed, throws Mjolnir into space and agrees to surrender on behalf of the rest of the heroes. The Builder, rather than take a hint and work ''with'' the Avengers rather than against them, proceeds to [[BullyingADragon strike Thor, mock him for thinking Earth will be spared, and declare that humanity and its heroes are weak and doomed]]. Cue Mjolnir reentering the atmosphere at meteroric speeds and slamming into the Builder's stomach, pretty much obliterating his midsection. Thor had simply been stalling for time in case he couldn't talk the Builders down. The rest of the Builder forces are ripped apart in orbit by the Avengers and their allies shortly after.

* ''ComicBook/KickAss'': "He doesn't have the balls", [[spoiler:says the gangster to a guy with a gun who just [[GroinAttack had his testicles]] [[ElectricTorture hooked up to a car battery]]]] Needless to say, [[spoiler:Hit-Girl probably [[MercyKill did him a favor by killing him]] with that butcher knife]].
