Line 224:
* [[Broke Your Arm Punching Out Cthulhu]]: Iron Man actually believed he could put Thor down by himself. [[Curb Stomp Battle|He was very wrong]].
* [[City of Adventure]]: Makes you wonder just how New York City hasn't gotten wiped out yet.
* [[Collectible Cloney Babies]]:
* [[Comic Book Time]]: When he revealed himself during ''[[Civil War (Comic Book)|Civil War]]'', Peter Parker stated that he had been acting as Spider-Man since he was 15. Same goes for the first X-Men team, who started in heroics in their teens (sans Beast), and now almost 50 years later (in real time), they still seem to be 30-somethings.
** The Collector is named thusly because he collects strange artifacts and life forms. He attempts to "collect" all of the Avengers in the Silver Age, starting with Wasp, because they are one-of-a-kind. The Avengers weren't having it, and defeated him at least three times.
** Kamala Khan's younger brother loves action figures. Another villain, an adult, takes interest in these kiddie toys and gets an idea. She had to track one down when it turned out to be part of an evil plot, and return it to him as a normal toy.
* [[Comic Book Time]]: When he revealed himself during ''[[Civil War (Comic Book)|Civil War]]'', Peter Parker stated that he had been acting as Spider-Man since he was 15. Same goes for the first X-Men team, who started in heroics in their teens (sans Beast), and now almostover 5060 years later (in real time), they still seem to be 30-somethings.
* [[Conqueror From the Future]] "Kang the Conqueror" is quite likely the [[Ur Example]].
* [[Crapsack World]]: Few comic book universes make life harder on its heroes than the Marvel Universe. At different times, either the public hates them, the government actively tries to kill mutants, the media paints them as evil, or laws have been passed making most of them wanted fugitives.
