** Then we find out that ''the princess'' is a clone.
** Then we find out that the original Syaoran is actually the son of the protagonist and love interest of [[Cardcaptor Sakura]], and is using his father's name as a psuedonym.

*** And that the creation of said duplicate f**** d up the ''entire space-time continuum''.

Line 116:
* ''[[Gotham City Sirens]]'' began with a life-or-death arc struggling against [[Monster Clown|the Joker]] (The frikkin' ''Joker''), with the evil clown wreaking horrible vengeance on the three stars, only for it to be revealed that it is not the Joker at all, but instead it is...Gaggy? Gaggy the ex-sidekick from the [[Silver Age]]? The dwarf clown who actually ran away from the circus? The ex-sidekick who has spent decades living in an old abandoned hideout, waiting with bated breath for the return of the Joker in extremely disturbing stalker fashion? Seriously? Yes, seriously, it is Gaggy the whole time, and it actually comes off as pretty creepy and unsettling, and he gives the women a good run for their money. He loses, of course, but it '''is''' their series, did you really expect the first villain to bump them off?
* ''[[Dark Avengers]]'' 13 reveals that the Void is actually Galactus. Or thinks he is. Or is lying. Maybe.
* Due to a tragic miscommunication between the authors of the series and its artists, [[Batwoman]]'s reveal in ''[[Fifty Two52]]'' actually became an accidental Unreveal. The original intent had been for Batwoman to make her first ever appearance during a [[Dynamic Entry]] while being a [[Big Damn Heroes|Big Damn Hero]], following several small hints intended to make both the readers and the characters think that it was actually Bat'''''man'''''. However, two issues prior to this reveal, she had actually been drawn in full detail on the final page of the issue, already establishing not just her existence, but that she was involved in the current story. Commentary released in the ''Fifty Two'' trade-paperbacks reveals that the first drawing was supposed to be a silhouette that would again make the readers think it was Batman, but that artists were unaware of this and instead drew her in full detail. The characters of the story are still unaware of her existence, but it is no longer a surprise to the readers.
* In the [[Marvel]] UK ''[[Transformers Generation 1]]'' story "Target: 2006", Galvatron decides to gloat over Jazz by revealing his shocking secret: he's actually Megatron from the future! This may possibly have partially spoiled [[The Movie]].
* [[Frank Miller]] usually writes straight forward stories but when he wants to, he can pack a helluva reveal. Such was the case with [[Ronin (comics)|Ronin]] The ancient Japanese characters don't exist, including the hero himself. It was all a part of the TV show an autistic, telekinetic youngman watched in the distant future. A supercomputer was using his powers and a little biotech to make him turn his fantasy into a reality, essentially turning himself into a hero. That way, she could easily manipulate him into doing her bidding. This would eventually lead to the destruction of mankind and the emergence of biotechnology as the dominant lifeform.

* In ''[[Kyon: Big Damn Hero]]'', Kyon's aunt Rika Fuurude tells him about the events of [[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]], hoping he'll reveal his story after that. Understanding that [[Secret Keeper|she'll believe him and keep his secret]], Kyon tells his aunt afterwards about the SOS Brigade and the supernatural events he had lived though.
* In ''[[Hunting the Unicorn (Fanfic)|Hunting the Unicorn's]]'' eleventh chapter, the readers are subject to a reveal that does ''triple'' time as a [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]] and a [[Wham! Line]]:
{{quote|{{spoiler|'''Blaine:'''}} I'm not a virgin.}}
** And then in the thirteenth chapter, David tells a counselor that {{spoiler|Blaine has a stalker.}}
