* As pointed out in [http://www.misterkitty.org/extras/stupidcovers/stupidcomics80.html this] ''Stupid Comics'' entry, the title characters of British Girls' Comic ''The Four Marys'' got prettier and more similar-looking as time went by.
* [[Squirrel Girl]] was a veritable [[Gonk]] in [http://www.the-isb.com/images/SquirrelGirl02.jpg her debut.] She's gotten [[wikipedia:File:SquirrelGirl.jpg|much cuter]]{{dead link}} since.
* [[Suicide Squad|Amanda Waller]], pre-Flashpoint: [http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Amanda_Waller_(New_Earth)/Gallery?image=Amanda_Waller_001-jpg fat and menopausal]. Amanda Waller, post-Flashpoint: [https://web.archive.org/web/20130912180502/http://www.themarysue.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/tumblr_lrj8fd1iWV1qbujox-136x550.jpg not so much].
