* A dreamwalker tries to avert this in [[Rising Stars]] when he finds out who'd been killing the other Specials. The killer, a Superman proxy, beats the tar out of the much weaker man and asks who else knows. The dreamwalker lies and says that he's told everyone... and is killed for his trouble. Luckily, a Special who could hear the recently deceased was able to get this information to another Special who had been investigating the murders as well.

* A while ago in the Superman books, a specialist for the CIA, using recently acquired alien language translation technology, was able to find out that the markings of a small craft that crash-landed in Kansas 30 years ago were Kryptonian. The man, being without friends or family, reported this to his direct superior, the President of the United States: Lex Luthor. One cut-away later, Lex nonchalantly tells his chauffeur to have maintenance clean up a "spill" on the carpet: a small red glob one can only assume is the man's remains.

Then eat each other. Then commit suicide.}}

* ''[[Chirault]]'' had Ridriel along with the rest of the Mages' Council told (and not arguing) that whoever stole the [[Doomsday Device]] they accidentally made most likely used inside information. So in Chapter 15 she reported related evidence to a council member she requested to come alone. He asks for some details and finishes with "You have told no one else?" Guess who is {{spoiler|locked up and wears an [[Explosive Leash|explosive collar]]}} a few pages later?
