ExamplesAreNotArguable. If it\\\'s likely a ShoutOut, then it \\\"likely\\\" goes there:
* A girl is annoyed with her baby brother. However when he gets kidnapped by the shapeshifting monarch of TheFairFolk, she allies with some eccentric but good-hearted beings to rescue him. Amongst the challenges she faces are illusions designed to hold her back: one that she\\\'s back home and it was AllJustADream, and one of a [[DancesAndBalls glorious ballroom]]. In the end, she defeats the monarch through sheer willpower. Early on she discovers that [[OurFairiesAreDifferent winged fairies]] are basically vicious humanoid insects.
** Is her name [[Film/{{Labyrinth}} Sarah]] or [[Discworld/TheWeeFreeMen Tiffany]]? (Actually, given Sir Terry\\\'s fondness for {{Shout Out}}s, it\\\'s possible elements of this one \\\'\\\'are\\\'\\\' intentional).

Creators are Real-Life persons. These examples may fit Stories, but it\\\'s dicey:
* This far-right-wing author is remembered for: works devoted to promoting the virtues of capitalism and the folly of redistribution of wealth written in the 1930s-50s; creating heroes who are condemned by others for their {{greed}}, but they are proud of the fact that they earned their fortunes [[SelfMadeMan on their own]], [[HonestCorporateExecutive honestly]], and by being tougher and smarter than everyone else; and writing a romance where a man keeps a woman imprisoned for a month, working for him in his private kingdom of a hidden valley.
** Is it CarlBarks or AynRand? (Source untraceable)
* Said to be the pioneering 80s AlternativeRock band of its country, originating from an area of said country often seen as rough, backwater and undomesticated. They gained a (perhaps not wholly deserved) reputation for being depressing and downbeat, and were headed by a somewhat shy and aloof lead singer with a hard-to-define sexuality yet with strong opinions on politics and animal rights, featured a snarky, shades-wearing guitarist who gave the band its signature jangle-pop sound, as well as a drummer who doomed the band\\\'s future in 1996.
** Now were they [[Music/TheSmiths British]] or [[Music/{{REM}} American]]? (By Guest of Dishonor, 3 May 2013)
* Alternative band prone to genre experimentation, whose lineup consisted of a eccentric, often [[LargeHam hammy]] lead singer-guitarist with a most distinct voice and a string of egotism and ControlFreak accusations, him eventually causing the band to break up when his {{Jerkass}}ery grew too much (though they\\\'d reunite come the 00s), and an oft-abused female bassist who was the most outspoken against said lead singer, going off to be part of another band even when she was still with them. Spawned a rather [[MemeticMutation memetic]] lyric involving God.
** \\\'\\\'Music/TalkingHeads\\\'\\\', \\\'\\\'Music/ThePixies\\\'\\\' or \\\'\\\'Music/TheSmashingPumpkins\\\'\\\'? (By Guest of Dishonor, 3 May 2013)

Modifying this one. If at least one of the choices doesn\\\'t fit all the comparisons, then at least tell us which choices don\\\'t fit which qualifications!
* A young man recieves the power to [[HenshinHero transform]] into a superhero [[BadPowersGoodPeople through less than heroic means]]. Refusing to serve the evil forces than created his powers the new hero rebels and fights against them and in the end saves the world. As a bonus two of the characters both ride motorcycles, a trait that is shown in their superhero names. Similarly two of the charaters have insect-like armour in their heroic forms.
** \\\'\\\'Franchise/KamenRider\\\'\\\', \\\'\\\'Comicbook/GhostRider\\\'\\\' or \\\'\\\'[[BlueBeetle the third Blue Beetle]]\\\'\\\'?
