Line 157:
* Kid Eternity, from both [[Captain Marvel]] and [[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Teen Titans]], could say "Eternity" to summon a historical or mythological hero, who would then disappear after a certain amount of time. His archenemy, Master Man, could say "Stygia" to summon a historical or mythological villain, who would then disappear after a certain amount of time.
* Issue #24 of ''Plop!'' contained a story called "The Bella Button Caper", in which the titular character was legislating to ban all comic books forever. In response, the "Great Comic Book Spirit" gave a twelve-year-old called "Comic Book" [[Mc Fiend]] the power to turn into a different DC superhero by saying - what else - "Plop!". After he finally cornered a remorseful Bella, the spirit told her to say "DC", which turned her into a comic book.
* The trope was parodied in issue #23 of the [[Batgirl 2009 (Comic Book)|Stephanie Brown]] ''[[Batgirl 2009 (Comic Book)|Batgirl]]'' [[Batgirl 2009 (Comic Book)|series]], where she confronts the Reapers, the (Somewhat pathetic, although admittedly dangerous) villains she has faced for the majority of the tail-end of the series. When she finds herself outmatched by the numerically superior Reapers, she shouts '''''[[Shazam]]!''''' at the top of her lungs. The Reapers pause momentarily in confusion, and [[Genre Savvy|question one another on if Batgirl is magic or not]], before the [[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Teen Titans]] [[Big Damn Heroes|burst to the rescue]], having been waiting for the signal to come charging in. They proceed to [[Curb Stomp Battle|effortlessly annhilate the Reapers]], [[Cherry Tapping|some of whom do not even bother to look at the Reapers as they defeat them]].
 
 
Line 214:
** In the episode where everyone's personalities changed, Tanker and Sydney actually switched phrases.
* [[Kamen Rider|Kamen Riders]] traditionally use "Henshin", though Showa-era Riders would occasionally use variants, such as [[Kamen Rider Stronger]]'s "Henshin Stronger".
** The two ''Kamen Rider'' productions to completely avoid this trope are the [[Deconstruction]] film ''[[Shin Kamen Rider Prologue]]'' (whose protagonist bore more similiarity to [[Incredible Hulk (Comic Book)|The Incredible Hulk]] than a typical Rider), and ''[[Kamen Rider Hibiki]]'' (except for some goof-ups slipping by ''[[Kamen Rider Decade]]'''s endgame).
** [[Kamen Rider X]] said "Setup!" instead of "Henshin!" for most of his series, and switched to "Dai Henshin!" towards the end.
** [[Kamen Rider Amazon]] did not say "Henshin" but rather "'''[[Punctuated for Emphasis|AAAAAAAA-MAAAAAAAAA-ZOOOOONNNNNN!!!]]'''"
