* [[Lantern Jaw of Justice]]: the [[Trope Codifier]].

* [[StarfishLiteral CharacterSplit Personality]]: Comic fans [[Fanon Discontinuity|had almost forgotten it]], too.
* [[Loves My Alter Ego]]: Lois Lane (used to be the [[Trope Namer]]. While Lois is known for more than just that, she is the iconic example). At least, until the Post-Crisis era when she finally learned the truth.

Line 400 ⟶ 401:
* [[Spider Tank]]: A recurring [[Running Gag]] in Superman stories (including ''[[Superman: Birthright]]'' and ''[[Superman: Doomsday]]'') is Supes having to fight a giant robotic spider, due to [[Executive Meddling]] (by [[Jon Peters]]) on the never-made '90s Superman film.

* [[Starfish Character]]: Comic fans had almost forgotten it, too.
