Who is that? Am I suppose to assume that it's Venom because the picture links to Spider Man 3, and only know it is him because I saw that movie?

There's gotta be a better image, maybe a before and after.

I would suggest using *ANY* of the AFGNCAAP characters you play as in Ace Combat, as they all eventually turn from Nobody to Nightmare (for the enemies), but there's no good images to convey that (there is a lot of dialogue though.)

Some Kefka for your consideration. I like the first one for the contrast between what he's saying at the start and then the end of the game, but just in case it's to hard to make out, I took a second "after" shot just showing him dialoguelessly levitating main characters like ragdolls.

edit: OK, the text in the top image in both looks to be of poor quality, but the forum shrinks them more than they will be on the page. View Image to see their full size. It's pretty clean.

From errand-boy to god. Not bad

He's probably overqualified for recon missions at this point.

Anakin to Vader is the most well known example I can think of.

We have that image on {[foreshadowing}} though.

If people learned from their mistakes, there wouldn't be this thing called bad habits.

That is hilarious but I think it should be a fictional character ;)

If you're gonna go with the Kefka example, have a Before and After of art of him being a clown and art of him being a god; with the sprites it's hard to tell.

The Kefka thing is hard to read even at full size and it doesn't show the trope well.

Or if you go with the screenshots, have an After picture of Kefka in god form.

How about just a picture of some teenager or kid with the caption box saying something like "This will make sense in 20 years"?

I mean this trope is about nobodies so what better than an actual nobody.

Please.

Better version of the Kefka idea. I couldn't decide which pose from his first battle to use, so I tried both. Panels 1 or 2 could be removed, if need be, but I like the effect with all three.

Oh, he's still a clown. It's just that he's the only one laughing anymore.

Not so silly anymore.

Google Image Search has so far failed to locate a suitable image of Buddy Pine, but here's a good one for the Syndrome Half

[up][up]The first caption is brilliant. However, FF 6's art style isn't making his appearance very clear. (And we really only need two screenshots, especially since the middle one is just his battle portrait as opposed to his regular sprite, giving the false impression that he's changed when he hasn't.)

Only decent picture I could find of Buddy. Any ideas for captions?

[up][up][up]

Which two panels, do you think? Probably the last two, just so that everything's in the same "style"? I mean, he still looks pretty much like a clown in the second panel.

What do you mean about the art style not making his appearance clear?

In any case, here's that altered version.

Oh, he's still a clown. He still makes people laugh. It's just that now, he's the only one laughing.
