* From the ''[[Transformers]]'' [[Transformers Timelines|fan club comic]] Skyfall, Landquake, Breakaway, Topspin, and Heatwave turn out to be {{spoiler|parts of Nexus Prime, one of the Thirteen original Transformers}}. This was actually revealed ''before'' Topspin and Heatwave were introduced.
* [[Superman]]'s origin in more recent decades has this element. He gets a mostly normal early childhood, then starts developing special abilities then eventually encounters or is told about his rocketship which also eventually transmit a message or series of messages from Jor-El which usually tells him he has a great destiny. Typically he has at least two if not three of these in his origin.
* Sometimes [[Aquaman (Comic Book)|Aquaman]]'s origin has this element. He's raised by a human and typically knows about his abilities. The moment this trope kicks in is when he learns that he's the King of Atlantis.
* [[The Mighty Thor]] plays this trope too. Don Blake learns that he's actually Thor cast in a frail mortal form to be taught a lesson in humility by his father and at this time he gains the ability to tap into his divine powers.
