* ''Film/VForVendetta'' has an example, where initially it appears that V has superhuman powers by surviving a barrage of gunfire. After dispatching his foes while they frantically try to reload, he removes a home-made metal plate--riddled with bullet holes and covered in blood--from under his shirt, drops it on the ground, and staggers off. (Before the MortalWoundReveal, there's a subtle indication: his raspy, pained voice as he delivers his KirkSummation.)
