Line 29:
* [[Body Horror]]: The Monster Generation, which includes a woman with a spider for a head and a man whose bones grew too fast for his muscles to keep up with.
* [[A Boy and His X]]: Bruce Banner and his diaper-wearing, ape-like Hulk.
* [[Brought to You By The Letter "S"]]: Steve now sports scars on his forehead in the shape of an 'A'. The Skull calls him Alice.
* [[Broke Your Arm Punching Out Cthulhu]]: [[Iron Man|Tony Stark]] goes into battle against the Celestials. They blast his armor into scrap (actually shooting off an arm). But he only needed to slow them up....
* [[Crisis Crossover]]: Everybody. ''Absolutely everybody.''
Line 75:
* [[Right Makes Might]]: The above quote.
* [[Screw You Elves]]: ''"You know what your problem is, Uatu? Your head's too big."''
* [[Shout -Out]]: Lots of them, resulting in a great many ironic roles.
* [[Shrouded in Myth]]: The identity of Daredevil is the subject of this sort of rumor. Some say he's [[Ghost Rider|Johnny Blaze]], [[Deadpool]], Foggy Nelson the original [[Daredevil]] (Don't ''ask!''), or [[Great Lakes Avengers|Mr. Immortal]], but nobody knows for sure.
* [[Starfish Aliens]]: The new parasitic Hydra.
* [[Star -Spangled Spandex]]: Mar-Vell.
* [[The Stoic]]: Black Bolt, but not out of disdain.
* [[Unreliable Narrator]]: Uatu.
* [[Wearing a Flag On Your Head]]: [[Captain America]] wears a toga made from a flag. Nobody minds.
* [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?]]: It's never really explained just what is uniquely useful about Dogface, Double-Header, or Mermaid's powers, particularly in a mutant-dominated world.
* [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?]]: That's easy. No one's human ''now''.
* [[Winged Humanoid]]: Wyatt Wingfoot/Red Wing, Luna, as well as many other unnamed characters.
Line 113:
* [[Petting Zoo People]]: Black Panther, Wakanda's Ani-Men, Dog-Face of the new X-Men, Ka-Zar and Shanna, and many others of the mutated humanity.
* [[Rock Beats Laser]]: Eons ago on the moon (long story), the primitive Kree slaughtered the peace-loving, star-crossing Skrulls.
* [[Shout -Out]]: "Why does Death come on wings? Why not [[Discworld|as a skeleton?]] Or in [[Sandman|the form of a teenage girl?"]]
** [[Monty Python and The Holy Grail|"None shall pass."]]
* [[Superman Stays Out of Gotham]]: An interesting attempt to [[Justified Trope|justify]] one of the bigger examples of this in the Marvel Universe; one charater suggests that the reason the [[X Men]] and the other superheroes kept on butting heads rather than working together more often is that the major dark forces of the world- strongly implied to include Mephisto, and other such demonic entities- manipulated events to play up anti-mutant prejudices so as to keep them apart.
Line 129:
* [[Ascend to A Higher Plane of Existence]]: Those who live in Paradise, and further yet, the Avenging Host.
* [[Batman Gambit]]: Aaron/X-51 plucks heroes and villains out of alternate realities to warn other Reed Richards' about the growing Celestials in their planets' cores. The Watchers come out of hiding to judge Uatu, and Aaron sends them to alternate worlds (by way of portal-spamming) to let those earths know that they are being watched, thus setting the infinite war against the Celestials in motion.
** Another one; Thor, Loki, Dr. Strange and Xen trek to Asgard to find Clea. When they get to Yggdrasil, they find out that she's in Hel. Odin then appears, and they make a deal, trading one of their band in Clea's place (them's the rules). Loki volunteers to be the substitute, but Odin rejects the offer, and chooses to take Thor instead. After returning to earth and killing [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|zombie Fin Fang Foom]], Thor teleports back, revealing that he had freed everyone in Hel with a speech, and ''that'' was the plan all along. If it was Loki who did it, they wouldn't have believed him. But Thor...who wouldn't believe Thor? As Loki put it; ''[[Shout -Out|"Ain't I a stinker?"]]''
* [[Captain Ersatz]]: Hyperion, [[Lampshade Hanging|referred to repeatedly as a "super man"]] His storyline is meant to be the [[Alternate Company Equivalent]] of ''[[Kingdom Come]]'', and the expanding Paradise that's devouring the Negative Zone is an affectionate parody of the "white wall" effect in ''[[Crisis On Infinite Earths]]''.
* [[Clap Your Hands If You Believe]]: Thor, Loki, and Sutur can change forms at will. Just by thinking ''real'' hard.
