Line 14:
* Spoofed in the final episode of ''[[Irresponsible Captain Tylor]]'' when Yamamoto calls back the Soyokaze's crew from their absolutely ridiculous [[Journey to Find Oneself|journeys to find themselves]] (such as Lt. Andressen's stint as a nude life-drawing model).
* In the ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' manga, Roy's group has a scene where each of them is shown displaying what their specialty is, culminating in everyone being on board with the long hard slog that is being the rebel group in a corrupt military.
* ''[[Voltron]]'', (and, obviously, its original incarnation, ''[[Go LionGoLion]]'') both Lions and Vehicle Force versions, practically defines this trope, particularly Lion which showed each Lion emerging from its specific hiding place to enter battle. The hiding places reflected the powers and abilities of their respective Lions (Red emerging from a Volcano, Blue from a lake etc.) While it is true that the Voltron team members themselves are usually in the same place when this happens, they must immediately separate to get to their Lion or Vehicle before coming together again. It's a little different in Vehicle Voltron as the main team is separated into smaller teams that are always together in getting to their vehicles.
 
 
Line 24:
* Marvel: Contest of Champions does this with pretty much every living hero who existed at the time in the Marvel Universe, plus a few new ones they spotted on the way. Though instead of a call, they were teleported (without choice) by a weird red light.
* Showed up in a few issues of [[G.I. Joe]], notably issue #2.
* Appeared in Issue #28 of ''[[The Brave and the Bold]]'', the debut of the [[Justice League of America]], where [[Aquaman (Comic Book)|Aquaman]] learns of a monster called Starro and uses his belt to signal the rest of the League for an emergency meeting. Most of the remaining Big Seven responds, as is typical of the trope ([[Wonder Woman]] breaks a date with Steve Trevor, [[Green Lantern]] sets his test plane on autopilot, [[The Flash]] takes care of a tornado, and the [[Martian Manhunter]] had just received vacation time for his human guise when he got the call), though [[Superman]] and [[Batman]] had commitments too important for them to abandon (Superman is fighting off a meteor storm about to enter the planet's atmosphere, and Batman is overwhelmed by a crime wave in Gotham City).
* [[The Defenders]] in most incarnations are loners, so many a Defenders story begins with someone, often [[Doctor Strange]], visiting each potential member in his or her home turf and issuing the [[Call to Adventure]].
