This or these examples of Surprisingly Realistic Outcome seem to violate at least one of these rules, which disqualifies them: No character reactions (characters get angry, don't forgive, don't change their personality instantly, etc.); Too fantastical (depends on the properties of magic, powers, sci-fi tech, monsters, etc.); Not surprising (a character was warned about the outcome, it's used to provide Karma or An Aesop, or it simply follows normal conventions for this genre or medium); Plot happens (the example only describes an event, but not why audiences would expect a different, unrealistic outcome); Not an outcome (a character just explains why something wouldn't work as expected, or something is just an innate aspect of the setting or character that has a logical reason for being present); More of a Deconstruction (the event has major, lasting effects on the plot, make something more realistic, but not completely realistic, or a parody/fanwork applies realistic consequences to the events of a different work); or fits better under a different trope. See the trope's definition for more details. If you believe a removal was a mistake, please bring it up in the cleanup thread.


* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** [[spoiler: The failed assassination of JFK turned into a superhero-and-villain battle between the Avengers and Masters of Evil, and ends with twenty-four people dead including Governor John Connally and Lady Bird Johnson. The Masters are vilified for trying to kill the President and people are even more wary of super-villains, who in turn are keeping a very low-profile, and the crime rate in New York City suddenly dropped to a minimum.]]
** Sunshine's [[ClusterFBomb unfettered vulgar language]] he frequently uses in public, especially when in the presence of children and their parents, gets him bad publicity. This also allowed detractors of the Avengers to add their criticisms on the team just for associating with him. Bruce Banner has to advise Sunshine that he should curse less.

* TrustPassword: When Captain America is reunited with Nick Fury and Dum Dum Dugan, Fury doesn't believe Rogers to be the real Captain America and calling him a knock-off replacement. Cap proves his identity by recalling Wolverine's real name "Logan" and how he, Fury, and Logan worked together on a mission in which only they know about.
* TheUnmasquedWorld: The Vampire Wars had left the public fully accepting the existence of the supernatural and the United Nations passing the Sorcery Accords, which formed an agency to prevent future supernatural threats and recognizing the Sorcerer Supreme (much to the protest of religious organizations such as the Catholic Church). Several anti-magic organizations, especially with a very religious bent, are also formed such as The Crusaders.

** Because of the Vampire Wars, the [[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/sunshine-superman-1960s-marvel-si.847345/page-290?post=75027339#post-75027339 American Televangelism movement never came to pass]] as many Televangelists were exposed as conmen who never really bought into their faith when they couldn't [[HolyBurnsEvil ward off vampires through true faith]], and were killed off by said vampires. As a result, the American Religious Right never gain the same political power in real life. However, the Televangelism movement is replaced by more insular, fundamentalist churches such as the Westboro Baptist Church as some genuine believers (no matter how fundamentalist and intolerant) do have the ability to ward off evil.

* BroadStrokes: The story uses the modern version of certain characters rather than the ones they had when the original comics were made, such as The Hulk using HulkSpeak rather than speaking normally, or Giant-Man's abilities being unrestricted rather than being limited to 12 feet.

* AdaptationalVillainy: Sandman is much worse here than in canon, as his criminal actions begin to escalate after being defeated by Mr. Sunshine at Midtown High instead of Spider-Man, [[spoiler: and he becomes a mass murderer during the attack on JFK's motorcade, as his actions alone result in multiple deaths when he destroys the street and causes a massive car crash. Furthermore, he willingly goes along with Radioactive Man's plan to go nuclear on Dallas and doesn't care about how many people will die.]]
* AdaptationalWimp: Kang the Conqueror is less powerful and constantly loses to the Avengers and other heroes all thanks to Sunshine and his infinite alternate counterparts in every reality and timeline who dramatically "damaged" his future.
