** For years of his comic book existence, Tony Stark maintained the [[SecretIdentity ruse]] that ''ComicBook/IronMan'' was his bodyguard, using a suit provided to him by Tony's company. At the end of [[Film/IronMan the movie adaptation]] this is the cover story Tony has been provided to use at a press conference set up to deal with the Iron Monger incident, but Tony decides to go off-script and end the movie with the bold declaration "I am Iron Man" (cue the Music/BlackSabbath).

* In 'WebAnimation/TheCouncilOfVoices'' series by LetsPlay/NicoB, a team of detectives consisting of [[VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc Kyoko Kirigiri]], [[VisualNovel/AceAttorneyInvestigationsMilesEdgeworth Tyrell Badd]], and [[VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyDualDestinies Bobby Fullbright]] are tasked to find the missing Voices. However, they soon discover they have a spy in their midst. Badd brings up the possibility that Fullbright might be the Phantom in disguise, a reference to TheReveal in ''Dual Destinies'', and Bobby isn't helping his case when it is revealed he made a secret phone call. However, it turns out that he's the ''real'' Bobby Fullbright, and that he's been working with [[VisualNovel/DanganronpaV3KillingHarmony Shuichi Saihara]] to corner the real mole: Badd.

* Stargirl features the character of Artemis Crock, the daughter of villains Sportmaster and Tigress. In the comics, Artemis succeeds her mother in becoming Tigress, however in the series her unnamed persona takes after her father instead.

* ''WesternAnimation/VeggieTales'': In the episode based on ''Literature/TheThreeLittlePigs'', it's the house made of ''wood'' that survives, not the house made of bricks, because Mr. Lunt, who built the brick house, thought his building materials were strong enough that he didn't need to set a proper foundation. When a flash flood comes around, the lack of a solid foundation causes the brick house to collapse. However, this is true to the ''other'' piece of literature the episode adapts: the parable of the wise and foolish builders (Bob being the wise builder, and Lunt and Larry being the foolish ones.

* ''WesternAnimation/VeggieTales'': In the episode based on ''Literature/TheThreeLittlePigs'', it's the house made of ''wood'' that survives, not the house made of bricks, because Mr. Lunt, who built the brick house, thought his building materials were strong enough that he didn't need to set a proper foundation.

** Think Hawkgirl will be exactly what she says she is, and is known to be in the comics: a police officer from another world? Guess again, as she is revealed to be TheMole for a Thanagarian occupation of Earth (which she betrays when its revealed they plan to build an interspace bypass which would destroy Earth). Related to this, in ''ComicBook/JusticeLeagueOfAmericaTowerOfBabel'', when the League voted on if a member should stay after they'd betrayed their trust, it was the majority that won -- and thus Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Plastic Man won out and kicked Batman off the team for a while. While a similar vote for Hawkgirl happened after the events of "Starcrossed", it was revealed in "Wake the Dead" that the majority (Superman, the Flash, and Martian Manhunter, with John Stewart abstaining) voted for her to stay.

* ''Theatre/AStreetcarNamedDesire'': The 1951 film version still ends with Blanche being committed, but Stella decides to leave Stanley and take the baby with her. This change was done less to surprise the audience with a new ending and more to conform to UsefulNotes/TheHaysCode, which dictated all immoral acts (Stanley's rape of Blanche) must be somehow punished.

* The UsefulNotes/NintendoGameCube remake of ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil1'' features a number of twists geared to surprise veterans of the original. Remember the key you find by draining the bathtub? [[JumpScare This time it's a zombie]]. The dogs that smash through the windows to attack you? They don't show up...until the ''second'' time you pass through that hallway, when you're probably not expecting it anymore. And [[OhCrap God]] [[JumpScare help]] [[DemonicSpiders you]] if you assumed the zombie bodies didn't vanish just to avert EverythingFades. Wesker being the BigBad is still done as a legitimate twist.

** The permanent residents of the children's hospital never get the morphing power; instead, they join the war by becoming voluntary-ish controllers. This, combined with Tom's second Yeerk already being dead, means that the Yeerks never get the morphing cube. [[spoiler:Instead, the Yeerks and Taxxons' salvation is reconnecting with their pre-Empire cultures, thus fixing their souls.]]

* ''Film/{{Logan}}'' is loosely based on the Creator/MarvelComics miniseries ''ComicBook/OldManLogan'', which also follows the adventures of a burned-out aging [[Characters/MarvelComicsLogan Wolverine]] in a grim near-future America. As a nod to the miniseries, it features a tragic PlotTwist revealing the ultimate fate of the ComicBook/XMen--but with one key difference: instead of [[spoiler:Wolverine [[AccidentalMurder accidentally slaughtering his teammates]] thanks to a villain's [[DeliriousMisidentification illusions]]]], it's revealed that [[spoiler:Professor Xavier accidentally killed them after losing control of his psychic powers due to dementia]].

* The 1936 Creator/FrankCapra film ''Film/MrDeedsGoesToTown'' famously ended with Cedar trying to swindle Deeds out of his fortune by scheming to have him declared legally insane, forcing him to defend his sanity in court. In the 2002 Creator/AdamSandler vehicle ''Film/MrDeeds'' (a relatively loose remake of the film), it turns out that Cedar's plan is to get rich by selling Deeds' great-uncle's company, leaving all of his employees jobless. Instead of a courtroom climax, it ends with Deeds showing up at a shareholders' meeting to talk the shareholders out of selling the company--leading to the surprise twist that [[spoiler:Deeds' great-uncle's butler is actually his son, making him the real heir]].

* [[spoiler:Misuzu lives]] in the manga of ''VisualNovel/{{AIR}}'', while [[spoiler:Yukito remains human]] in TheMovie.

** Played straight or averted in ''ComicBook/Marvel1602'', depending whether or not you consider the spin-off, ''Spider-Man: 1602'', canon. Virginia Dare is said to fill the role of Gwen Stacy, and she survives in the original mini-series, and it's heavily implied she and Peter end up together. In the spin-off, however, not only is she killed by Osborne, but Peter very quickly gets over her to get together with [[HeroesWantRedHeads Marian Jane Watsonne]], effectively restoring the [[StatusQuoIsGod status quo]] that the original mini-series worked to avoid.

* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanHush'' sees its title villain turn out to be [[Characters/BatmanTheRiddler The Riddler]] acting completely on his own, instead of Thomas Elliot being Hush, with Elliot really being killed by Nygma instead of Clayface and Two-Face helping Elliot fake his own death. This is in line with how the original comic series was supposed to end until ExecutiveMeddling changed it to Elliot.

* In ''The Council Of Voices'' series by LetsPlay/NicoB, a team of detectives consisting of [[VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc Kyoko Kirigiri]], [[VisualNovel/AceAttorneyInvestigationsMilesEdgeworth Tyrell Badd]], and [[VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyDualDestinies Bobby Fullbright]] are tasked to find the missing Voices. However, they soon discover they have a spy in their midst. Badd brings up the possibility that Fullbright might be the Phantom in disguise, a reference to TheReveal in ''Dual Destinies'', and Bobby isn't helping his case when it is revealed he made a secret phone call. However, it turns out that he's the ''real'' Bobby Fullbright, and that he's been working with [[VisualNovel/DanganronpaV3KillingHarmony Shuichi Saihara]] to corner the real mole: Badd.

* In ''[[ComicBook/SpiderMan The Amazing Spider-Man]]'', Spider-Man's archnemesis, [[Characters/MarvelComicsNormanOsborn the Green Goblin]], tossed Spidey's first love off a bridge in [[ComicBook/TheNightGwenStacyDied one of comics' most iconic moments]]. It was a huge twist when the comic was published (never before had a superhero let someone die, [[DeathByOriginStory except in an origin story]]) and shocked many readers. Since then, however, whenever [[Characters/SpiderManLoveInterests Gwen Stacy]] is present, it's become more shocking ''not'' to have the Green Goblin kill her.
