Line 150:
** A similar situation occurred with the [[Wildstorm]] Captain Marvel [[Expy]] Maximum Man, whose alter ego, Kyle Trueblood developed Alzheimer's and afterwards spent every waking minute saying every word in every dictionary in every language he could find. {{spoiler|His former archenemy remembered it and kept it from him out of spite. Eventually there was an emergency, and he told Trueblood what}} it was: "Hecatean".
* [[The Golden Age of Comic Books|Golden Age]] (now [[Public Domain]]) superhero the Green Lama used as his transformation phrase the mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum". Since the Lama was supposed to be Buddhist this makes a sort of sense.
* Marvel heroine
* The Great Ten's Thundermind uses the mantra "All hail the jewel in the lotus" (or its translation "Om mani padme hum") to transform into the mighty superhero. Since Thundermind is a Buddhist-based superhero, it makes some sense (as with the Green Lama).
