* To a certain extent, Ragged Robin in Grant Morrison's ''[[The Invisibles]]'', who essentially writes herself into the story using fan fiction. King Mob also comments on how he now gets to live the crazy science fiction/espionage adventures he always dreamed of as a kid. Considering it's no secret that King Mob is just a cooler version of Morrison...
* [[Batman]] seems to attract ascended fans, despite his ''constant'' efforts to keep "amateurs" out of "'''''my''''' town." Many of his fellow Bat-Family crimefighters were not actively recruited or trained by him; rather, they became involved on their own and were absorbed into the larger Bat-Family afterwards.
** Barbara Gordon, the original [[Batgirl]] ([[Canon
** Tim Drake (the third Robin) also demonstrates this trope. In his origin story he deduces that Dick Grayson must be Robin because of a signature move they both use, spends several years of his childhood stalking and photographing Robin and Batman, and finally confronts Dick and then Bruce Wayne, insisting that "Batman needs a Robin." [Note: this only applies to the comic-book Tim Drake; the [[DCAU]] Tim Drake's backstory is modified from Jason Todd's.]
** And the ''fourth'' Robin, [[The Dark Knight Returns|Carrie Kelly]], who gets the job as Robin after buying the costume and forcing Batman to let her help return Gotham to its [[Sarcasm Mode|former glory.]] Although Carrie's number is kinda messed up cause when Miller wrote her, Stephanie and Damian had never been Robins. So one could make an argument for her being the sixth Robin.
