They tossed up the last stretch of episodes on Nicktoons in multi-episode chunks on a few Fridays with no real warning, with the finale coming the same day online and on air as I recall. Just about as invisible as you can get, but it was still technically television.

Why did the superhero persona Superman have citizenship anyway? Did he get it in a ceremony after saving Metropolis for the 800th time? Do Superman and Clark Kent both vote? Does Superman list his residence as the Fortress of Solitude, which hasn't been depicted as being in America at all for years? Does he just put…

Wha? Spider-man and Daredevil in particular were being put through the ringer for decades with no mutants to be seen - Spidey starting with his debut, Daredevil as of the '80s at least.

Before it was replaced with "holy crow," the first draft had Anastasia exclaiming "By the power of Greyskull!"

Dr. Facehands would refuse to be in the same show as a monkey. They've been known to eat their young.

War Machine invited him over to check out his new karaoke machine and there's no cell reception in Rhodey's basement.

I think the downplay-the-origin approach is supposed to start with Phase Three, while Ant-Man is seemingly still bundled with "Phase Two." They did do it pretty well with The Incredible Hulk, whatever you think of the story that follows those opening credits.
