Oh boy, where to start... The image was put without discussion, the text is annoyingly small, I can't tell what is going on, the caption has to explain why the picture fits (and it doesn't do a good work at that as it makes it sound like it's an example of Late-Arrival Spoiler), and the pothole to the work is not on the image.

TL;DR: The picture's awful and I think it has to be pulled without remorse.

As far as replacements go, I think that, unless someone finds some sort of First Episode It Was His Sled or a Lampshade Hanging of this trope, it's better off picture-less.

EDIT: Current picture.

The Thunderbolts are really the Masters of Evil. A complete surprise back in 1996... but it has been in all their plots since then, so in 2012 nobody should be surprised to know this.

I can think of quite a few first episode It Was His Sled sort of things, but none of them are easily picture-able. :/

I think this should just go imageless.

+1 to pull the pic for legibility issues.

I'm fine with making this a "no pic" page.

Hmm... well, for It Was His Sled examples, there's the first Batman comic

The first comic here.

Only problem is, the "Bruce Wayne is Batman" reveal is quite a bit on the wordy side.

Would something that is very well known be a good image?

I was researching and Luffy ate the fruit in the first chapter, so... will an image of him stretching be an example?

I don't know...

"Would something that is very well known be a good image?

That reason is almost never a good one.

Not the slightest indication what anything is or how it's spoilery or even at the beginning, sorry.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

What we need is an example of It Was His Sled so extreme that people forgot that it was a surprise in the first place.
