* After Keith Giffen took over the second series of ''[[Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld]]'', he did a storyline where Carnelian is killed off to make way for the return of the first series' [[Big Bad]] Dark Opal. This lasts for one page in that issue and two pages in the following issue before Dark Opal himself is dispatched to make way for the new villains, The Child and Flaw.
* In the buildup to the Great Darkness Saga in the ''[[Legion of Super-Heroes (Comic Bookcomics)|Legion of Super-Heroes]]'' (which Keith Giffen also worked on -- he seems to love this trope), previous [[Big Bad|Big Bads]] Mordru and the Time Trapper are found beaten and helpless to show how bad the villain behind the Great Darkness Saga (who turns out to be {{spoiler|Darkseid}}) is.
* In ''[[Ultimate Spider-Man]]'' the first thing Mysterio did when he showed up was shoot the Kingpin out of a window.
* In ''[[Fantastic Four]]'' when the Marquis of Death appeared he set [[Doctor Doom]] on fire and tossed him into prehistory. Unsurprisingly, he came back.
