* In the [[Marvel Universe]] there is a relatively new phenomenon called Secondary Mutation, in which known mutants (typically [[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]]) suddenly develop a new mutant power at [[Deus Ex Machina|extremely convenient moments]], such as a healing power (after receiving an otherwise mortal wound) or the ability to become indestructible (in the middle of a bombing).
** The Richard Rider [[Nova (Comic Book)|Nova]] is not a mutant, but he was depowered for a long time and the superhero, Night Thrasher, guessed that he could reignite Rider's powers with a high stress incident. To create one, he kidnapped Rider, dropped him off a building and found that his hunch was right when Rider instantly repowered in the fall, including his flight power.
*** He tried it a second time after another depowering, only to be rescued before the splat and having it made very clear that a second power up was not what would have happened (he got his powers back again of course in another storyarc).
** [[Spider-Man]] first discovered his powers this way. While walking home feeling sick after being bitten by the spider, a car is about to hit him. His new Spider Sense kicks in and he instinctively leaps up the side of a building and clings to it.
