* SamusIsAGirl: In #10, Galahad is hunting an assassin named Headhunter. Having learned that Headhunter will be in a certain hotel room, he crashes in through the window and surprises a couple in bed. He tells the woman to flee and gets in a fight with the man. When the man doesn't recognise the name of one of his victims, Galahad realises he has made a mistake and that Headhunter isn't the man, but rather the woman. Just as he comes to this realisation, the now-clothed Headhunter re-enters the room and fires an arrow at him. The man is actually a local crimeboss who was to be her next target.

''Big Bang Comics'' is an American comic book anthology series, designed to be an homage to Golden Age and Silver Age comics. Most stories in Big Bang Comics take place either on "Earth-A," during the 1960s, or on "Earth-B" during the 1940s, with characters like Ultiman, Thunder Girl, and Dr. Weird.
''Big Bang Comics'' first appeared in 1994, with a five-issue limited series (numbered 1–4 and 0), published by Caliber Comics. A second series lasting 35 issues was published by Creator/ImageComics from 1996 to 2001, followed by seven one-shot comics. As of the 2010s, Gary Carlson self-publishes ''Big Bang Presents''. Like its predecessor series Big Bang Comics, this is an anthology featuring a rotating cast of new and established characters in a self-contained fictional universe.

* AppropriatedAppellation: Reid Randall created a created his blue and grey costume and equipped himself with a pair of nightsticks to defend his family's garment factory against mobsters who threatened to burn it down. Confronting them in the warehouse, one of thugs said "It's some kind of night watchman". Reid immediately decided to adopt that as his superhero name. Recalling how he and his brother used to play knights as kids, he announced "That's Knight Watchman...with a 'K'!"
* MagicMeteor: Ultiman gained the superpowers that made him 'the ultimate man' when a meteor crashed into his car.
