** A very rare example from Disney, connected only to a specific sub-continuity of the Junior Woodchucks (itself locked out from the rest) that is alluded to in "Xadhoom" and, later, ''ComicBook/DoubleDuck'' and a sub-series of spy stories (mentioned in passing by Paperinik during the crossover).
** The ''New Era'' stories can be hard to follow for who has come in contact with the franchise starting with ''Might and Power'' and the ''PK Giant'' reprints, on top of giving them massive spoilers for the original series. For example, whoever read ''The Mark of Moldrock'' at the time of first publication in May 2017 would be familiar with the returning [[spoiler:Trauma]], but completely baffled at the mentions of [[spoiler:Juniper and Corona]], especially with no confirmation that a reprint of ''[=PK2=]'' will follow the original series' reprint.

A little more than a year later, the reboot would put him among a Lanterns-like organization.
