* ''ComicBook/TheDefenders'' #62 was the start of the famous "Defenders for a Day" storyline, which saw a ton of heroes from across the Marvel Universe temporarily joining the team. Strangely, the cover featured ComicBook/IronMan, [[Characters/MarvelComicsAngel Angel]], Characters/LukeCage, the [[Characters/FantasticFourTheFantasticFour Human Torch]] and [[Characters/SpiderWomanTitleCharacter Spider-Woman]] as some of the new recruits, even though none of them appeared in the issue. Iron Man ''did'' pop up in the following issue, but only in a brief two-page cameo where he told the Defenders that some bad guys were using their name, and then left without joining.

** In the six-part Spider-Man story "The Assassin Nation Plot", the cover of ''ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderMan1963'' #324 showed Spidey confronting [[Characters/MarvelComicsSabretooth Sabretooth]]. Sabretooth did appear in the story, but he and Spidey never met; Captain America and [[Characters/MarvelComicsWildPack Silver Sable]] fought the villain, while Spidey was hundreds of miles away fighting terrorists. (WordOfGod claims that Creator/ToddMcfarlane penciled the cover before the script was finalized, and while he knew Sabretooth would appear, he didn't know in what regard. The cover was kept because the editors liked it so much.)

** A particularly notable case was when Marvel did a month of covers that each showed [[Characters/SpiderManLoveInterests Gwen Stacy]] dressed as different Marvel heroes and villains. The cover showing Gwen as [[Characters/MarvelComicsDeadpool Deadpool]] proved so popular that it actually motivated Marvel to make that design into an actual character: [[ComicBook/TheUnbelievableGwenpool Gwenpool]].
