Line 3:
* [[Captain America]] [http://www.coverbrowser.com/image/captain-america/1-2.jpg summed up real quick.]
* [[Batman]] first appeared on a rooftop beating up thugs.
* By far one of the most famous lines in all of comics, "[[Spider -Man|Face it Tiger, you just hit the jackpot!]]" It is almost mandatory for Mary Jane to say some form of that line in any later incarnations.
** [http://forbiddenplanet.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/face-it-tigger-you-just-hit-the-jackpot.jpg Hilariously parodied in this Winnie the Pooh image], which was made ''[[Hilarious in Hindsight|before]]'' Disney acquired Marvel!
* ''[[Bookhunter]]'''s opening chapter is [[Batman Cold Open|unrelated to the larger plot]], and instead serves to set the tone of the story to follow. A SWAT team has been called in to deal with a freelance censor, and when they invade his apartment, they find the perp threatening to immolate himself and the books he stole; clearly, in this universe, books are [[Serious Business]]. Detective Bay's response to the standoff shows that, underneath his veneer of rationality, he is a [[Cowboy Cop]] willing to do completely insane things in his pursuit of criminals.
* The first dozen or so pages of ''[[Runaways (Comic Book)|Runaways]]'' exist solely to provide one of these for each of the kids: Gert is shown correcting her dad's Latin in the middle of an argument about politics, Chase is shown getting beaten up by his dad for getting bad grades, etc. Similarly, the first time we see [[Ascended Fanboy]] Victor, he's talking about superheroes with his buddy Jorge.
* Joseph in ''[[Scott Pilgrim (Comic Book)|Scott Pilgrim]]'' seems shy and unassuming at first, but [[Jerkass|the first time he opens his mouth]]...
* ''[[Watchmen (Comic Bookcomics)|Watchmen]]''
** Rorschach's opening narration provides a glimpse into his unstable mind.
** The first time we see Dr. Manhattan he is shown as a giant which [[Physical God|showcases his power]] as well as his [[Humanoid Abomination|truly alien nature to the rest of the world]].
