** The social worker refugee from the first issue who tries to barter for shelter from a gang by saying that he helps people who don't get along communicate. The gang members agree that this sounds like a skill they can use, but in a grim case of ExactWords, make him a DeadGuyOnDisplay.

** The man who appears in one ''Azrael'' issue and has a SadisticChoice between feeding his daughter or his father, inspiring both anger and pity from Azrael at different points.
** William "Sarge" Riley, the RetiredBadass protagonist of the standalone issue "Home Sweet Home." He gets some awesome and heartwarming moments as the protector of his neighborhood and manages to get away with defying Joker by impressing the clown with his attitude.

** Jared Manx, the death row prisoner who serves as the POV character for a story about a tsunami hitting Blackgate Prison after the earthquake, makes a big enough impression that he has a Reddit thread debating whether he is guilty or innocent.

Ore dies almost immediately, suffering a PortalCut when he messes with the Lost Light's quantum engines, and Shock shortly afterward, killed by a Sparkeater as he eulogizes Ore. Turns out they were agents of Prowl, and their actions kicked off the entire plot, sending the Lost Light off course, and creating a quantum duplicate. They are also Skids' handlers, and the reason he gets involved in the plot. Ore briefly comes back to life due to the presence of a Titan, and then is taken "away", so he may still be out there somewhere.

* Anytime {{Franchise/Batman}} cameos in someone else's book, especially since, away from home, he gets to [[TheComicallySerious be hilarious.]]
** For that matter, anytime Batman shows up in a story [[VillainProtagonist primarily focused on one of his villains]].
* Nazi dinosaur [[http://www.comicvine.com/tyrannosaurus-reich/29-70678/ Tyrannosaurus Reich]]. Only appears in two issues of ''Major Bummer'' and his concept is as awesomely cool as it is utterly ridiculous.
* NeilGaiman specifically mentions that he didn't have Death appear more often in ''ComicBook/TheSandman'' because he didn't want to water down the effect and specialness of her appearances. He still found a way for her to show up in all of the trade paperbacks, however, even if sometimes it's just in a silent cameo.
* ''{{Nextwave}}'' made a single-page appearance, complete with NW-style info box pointing it out as a superfluous cameo, in ''MarvelZombies [[CapcomVsWhatever VS]] [[Franchise/EvilDead Army of Darkness.]]''
* [[http://www.cracked.com/funny-5066-snowflame/ SNOWFLAME,]] [[AGodAmI god]] [[EnsembleDarkHorse of]] [[Pantheon/{{Otherness}} Cocaine?]] Dude appeared in only one issue of the NewGuardians comic, but boy did he steal it.
* Tif from ''ComicBook/{{Ironwood}}'' is a definite fan favourite, despite making only one appearance (and dying at the end of it). Bill Willingham has said that he has had more requests for sketches of Tif than any other character from the series (probably due to interesting physical appearance).
* ''Transformers More Than Meets The Eye'' gives us Nautilator and Blip, [[ThoseTwoGuys two goofy Decepticons]] who come off as hilarious and lovable and are loved by fans. They appear for about a grand total of two pages in a single issue, and they're sole role is seeing some Autobots coming towards them and than getting killed by Whirl and Cyclonus during a big fight.

** The same could be said for the nameless burglar who committed the crime. He did appear in a later story (where the motive for the burglary was revealed), but it didn't change the fact that he was nothing more than a common thug. Still, given the impact that this common thug had on Spider-Man's life, he could well be considered the greatest enemy the hero ever faced.
* Edgar Vargus from ComicBook/JohnnyTheHomicidalManiac appeared in only one strip in volume four, yet he's still popular in fanart and fanfiction to this day.
