Line 94:
* ''Spidey Super-Stories'', a Marvel book for the younger set, inexplicably [http://notthebeastmaster.typepad.com/weblog/2004/03/hey_kids_death.html featured Thanos] at one point. Yes, the [[Thanos]] with a hard-on for Death, the one who killed half of everyone in the universe in an attempt to impress her. In a book for little kids. They must have just made him into a big purple guy.
** [http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2010/06/14/i-lova-ya-but-youre-strange-2/ He has a helicopter with his name on it. And he gets arrested by the police in the end. It's awesome.]
* [[Batman]] himself traditionally comes in two flavors, [[Darker and Edgier]] and Lighter and Softer. In [[Darker and Edgier]] mode, [[Wangst|he spends 95% of his time moping in the corner about his parents]], and the other 5% being awesome.

* The original 1980s version of ''[[Power Pack]]'', while not nearly as angsty as Marvel's other works, took itself seriously and attempted to be a serious, but not ''as'' serious as usual, comic about [[Kid Hero]]es, with a fair amount of characterization, intelligent plots, and good quality storytelling. It actually tries to realistically portray what children who find themselves with superpowers might actually go through, but still falls short of stereotypical comic angst. The 2000s remake is aimed squarely at a quite young audience and has much cuter art and simpler storytelling.
* ''[[Tiny Titans]]'' is an even lighter version of [[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Teen Titans]] compared to [[Teen Titans (animation)|the TV show]]. It takes places in a bright happy world where some of the worst things the elementary school Titans need to worry about are: embarrassingly-loving father Trigon, grumpy lunch lady Darkseid, and stern principal Slade. In both versions of ''Teen Titans'', Trigon wishes to conquer Earth and turn it into a literal hell, [[Darkseid]] is out to conquer ''all'' life, and Slade is an amoral mercenary and assassin.
