As a variant if the hero in question works on assignment, he could have a rush of small assignments or dispatches where he deals with mundane felons or menaces with ease. This can also include public events where he gets initial accolades by the public for his good deeds.

There is a scene where a hero, or Super Hero, has just passed his first trial by fire, usually pulling off a spectacular rescue in costume and is feeling exhilarated and raring for more. On that note, since he is dressed for the occasion and has nothing better to do for the night, he decides he might as well go on patrol.

This is where the On-Patrol Montage comes in where we see a series of relatively small incidents where we see the hero strut their stuff running rings around minor crooks and menaces and perhaps some more rescues as the public looks on with astonishment at what the new hero can do.

As a variant if the hero in question works on assignment, he could have a rush of small assignments or dispatches where he deals with mundane felons or menaces with ease. This can also include public events where he gets initial accolades by the public for his good deeds.

This soon ends and then the plot deals the buildup to the climatic battle with the Big Bad.

It may overlap with Lock and Load Montage.
