Line 29:

* The Argentine comic [[El Eternauta]] (second part): the protagonist decides to give to a tribal [[After the End]] civilization of the future, enslaved by an alien race, knowledge of modern weaponry and machinery. Since the available tools and labour skills are quite crude, they can't go beyond mid-XIX century tech: simple pistols, muskets and cannons and basic steam engines (making it a [[Steampunk]] comic in 1976).

* One ''[[What If]]'' story featured Tony ([[Iron Man]]) Stark becoming trapped in the time of [[King Arthur]]. He starts advancing the technology level singlehanded till he can recreate his [[Iron Man]] armor.

* Upon being exposed to extraterrestrial civilizations (and making friends there) in ''[[Desperately Seeking Ranma]]'', [[Ranma ½|Nabiki Tendo]] decides to [[Imported Alien Phlebotinum|import alien technology]] to Earth -- starting with ''portable fusion generators''. She'll be so successful at this that it forces an autonomous time-traveling weapon system to fall back to its [[Plan B]] for destroying the Earth, instead of waiting for the environmental catastrophe that would have happened had she not simply ''had the idea''.
