| abstract | - Unusual capabilities manifest in the pilot episode. This lets the audience know right away that the series is about unusually enabled characters. It is very hard to pull off the introduction later on in a series without throwing your viewers for a loop, unless you are a master of foreshadowing. The plot of this introductory episode has a strong tendency to be one of the coping-with-new-powers or power-manifestation scenarios like How Do I Shot Web?, Die or Fly, or Falling Into the Cockpit. May overlap with First Episode Spoiler if the powers are revealed toward the end of the episode. Compare / contrast Second-Hour Superpower, In Medias Res. Examples of Powers in the First Episode include:
