All instances of "Fastball Special" I've seen have had 'special' capitalized. Can anyone provide a counterexample? If not, renaming this article would be a good idea. -Toptomcat 03:31, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Since nobody objected, I went ahead and did it. -Toptomcat 18:38, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

I've seen this move performed on "Rocky and Bullwinkle" with Bullwinkle tossing Rocky. Does this count? - Anonymous, 19:49, 15 October 2006

Probably not, in a strict sense. R&B is pre X-Men, if I remember correctly, and Bullwinkle is not superhumanly strong, and it's outside of the comics/superhero medium. If only two of those three were true, it could probably be plausibly included, but not as is. -Toptomcat 15:24, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Fantastic Four #49 Page 13. Reed gets Thing to throw him at Galactus. The Marvel site requires registration but it is free.
