Pulling these:
* Retcon: Per No Surrender, every time Banner or the Hulk has died and come back in the past, it's been building to this, to the point where they'd eventually be able to come back on their own. Their Resurrective Immortality isn't science or magic, though they've taken advantage of them to come back in the past. It's simply part of who they are.
* Transformation Is a Free Action: Averted. During the robbery in issue #1, Bruce's eyes turn green as he gets ready to hulk out... but he's shot dead before it can happen.
Per the Is it an Example thread... the Retcon example doesn't make it clear what is being retconned. And the Transformation Is a Free Action needs to make it clear whether the audience has been lead to believe that the trope was in-use so as to determine whether the trope is Averted or Subverted.

I think we should remove the Evil Knockoff example since Hollow Rick wasn't evil and actually helped Hulk.
It also seems like Thunderbolt Ross really is dead.
