Line 89:
** ''[[Superman Secret Identity]]'' is based on much the same premise, but goes in a very different direction and plays with [[This Is Reality]] for all it's worth.
* In the ''[[Astro City]]'' story arc "Confessional", the future Altar Boy moves to Astro City with the intention of becoming a sidekick, working in a superhero bar and a private club for heroes as part of his goal. It eventually works for him.
* Rodney Rabbit was a writer and artist for his Earth's DC Comics, particularly its top-selling superhero team title "''Just'a Lotta Animals''". After events are set into motion by visitors Superman and villain Starro the Conqueror, Rodney himself becomes a superhero and forms his own superhero team, the [[Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew
* ''[[Daredevil]]'': Maki Matsumoto became a fan of Bullseye after he inadvertently rescued her when he killed the Yakuza who were planning on selling her into sexual slavery. She would later become Lady Bullseye.
* Izzy Sinclair is a sci-fi geekette turned ''[[Doctor Who]]'' companion in the ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' comic strip. Destrii, her successor, is an alien who fangirls Earth sci-fi and westerns.
* ''[[Excalibur (Comic Book)|Excalibur]]'': Faiza Hussain is a superhero fangirl who gets zapped with Skrull [[Applied Phlebotinum]] during the Secret Invasion arc and gets superpowers.
* Dan Dreiberg of ''[[Watchmen (comics)|Watchmen]]'', a longtime supporter of the masked hero Nite Owl who, with the permission of the original, takes up the name and mantle when his hero retires.
* To an extent, almost everyone in [[
* Evil Version: Parker Robbins was a fan of Supervillains who later ended up becoming [[The Hood]], one of the [[Big Bad|Big Bads]] of the Marvel Universe.
* [[Squirrel Girl]] was an Avengers fan rejected for having the useless power of controlling squirrels. Then she ends up saving Iron Man and defeating [[Dr. Doom]]. That would be ascended enough, but then she goes on and beats Thanos, Terrax, Deadpool, Mandarin, and others. She's not only ascended, but made her way to the very top of the Marvel universe.
Line 101:
* ''[[Marvel 2099]]''
** Subverted by [[Spider-Man]] 2099, Miggy O'Hara may have been inspired to use spider DNA in Alchemax's super-soldier experiments from reading about the original Spider-Man, but he didn't ''intend'' to [[Professor Guinea Pig|test it on himself]], and isn't happy with the results.
** Also subverted with [[Incredible Hulk
** Played straight with [[Punisher]] 2099, who was obsessed with Frank Castle's war journal, and [[The Mighty Thor|Thor]] 2099, who was a Thorite priest.
* In ''[[New Warriors|The New Warriors]]'' comic book, Hindsight Lad managed to track down the Warriors' secret HQ and blackmailed his way onto the team with his knowledge of several of their secret identities. He later earned a legitimate place on the team with his fact-finding skills. Much later, he betrayed [[Civil War (Comic Book)|the surviving Warriors]] by secretly leaking several of their identities to an already enraged public, out of a sense of betrayal. This lead to one former Warrior being beaten and hospitalized by an angry mob. (Why ''he'' felt betrayed or why he'd take such a drastic step to "get even" [[Writer on Board|is never explained adequately.]] Or explained at all, for that matter.)
Line 250:
* Euryale of ''[[Wapsi Square]]'' has heard about what the rest of the cast has done, and thinks they're the most awesome people ever. When she finally got the chance to meet her heroes, she was [[Squee|quite excited.]]
* {{spoiler|uranianUmbra}} of ''[[Homestuck]]'' is shown to be a fan of the cast -- by creating [[Fan Art]], [[Fan Fiction]] and [[Epileptic Tree|Epileptic Trees]]. [[Word of God]] [http://twitter.com/andrewhussie/status/16773057685238988 confirms] that the character is meant to be an "[[Meta Guy|obnoxious fandom avatar]]".
* Sage Freehaven became one in ''[[
