Line 29:
* Notably, Bruce Banner originally turned into the [[Incredible Hulk]] at night. He was also originally coloured grey, but this changed to green, as grey was hard to reproduce consistantly in the 1960's.
* [[Captain America (comics)]] has a different shield and costume in his first issue.
* Upon reading [https://web.archive.org/web/20130305145708/http://www.reading-room.net/SC22/SC22p1.html the first] [[The Silver Age of Comic Books|Silver Age]] ''[[Green Lantern]]'' story, you get the impression that the Green Lantern Corps (referred to only as space-patrolmen in the story) do not generally call themselves Green Lanterns—in fact, "Green Lantern" was only an alias Hal adopts for himself.
* [[Knights of the Dinner Table]]: The series started as a comic strip in the back of SHADIS gaming magazine and as such, the character were flat and Sara had not been added yet. The Knights were simple gamer stereotypes shifting to fit the gag of the strip (for example, Dave, Bob and Brian all knowing the stats for a monster whereas in later strips, only Brian had stats and charts memorized like that.)
* This can be applied era to era in comics but especially the [[Silver Age]] which generally has the silliest and most over the top plots and really sticks out from the other eras with many of the most popular characters of today being invented or taking on their most recognizable forms in that era.
* [[Spider-Man]] was often quite the egotistical jerk back in the earliest comics. Fans are often surprised to read the story where he crashed the Human Torch's frat party simply out of spite.
