| - "The Greatest Story Never Told" is the seventh episode of the first season of Justice League Unlimited, and the seventh of the overall series. It originally aired on September 11, 2004. The Justice League is locked in epic battle with Mordru in downtown Metropolis, but the real story is what happens to Booster Gold while he's supposed to be on "crowd control".
- So the character has finally rescued his friends, saved the world and done whatever deeds prove he is a true hero. But nobody will ever know. Maybe he's a mere buffoon or a comedy sidekick, or the outcast of the society. Sometimes the media just hates him and ended up turning his story upside-down. Sometimes the Fake Ultimate Hero takes all the spotlights. Sometimes nobody believes his story. Sometimes his memory gets erased. Sometimes a weird time travel mechanism makes it so whatever happened didn't actually happen in time. Maybe it ends with Kill'Em All. Maybe the whole incident needs to be hushed up to protect important secrets. Or sometimes, for reasons of his own, he chooses not to tell anyone.

| - So the character has finally rescued his friends, saved the world and done whatever deeds prove he is a true hero. But nobody will ever know. Maybe he's a mere buffoon or a comedy sidekick, or the outcast of the society. Sometimes the media just hates him and ended up turning his story upside-down. Sometimes the Fake Ultimate Hero takes all the spotlights. Sometimes nobody believes his story. Sometimes his memory gets erased. Sometimes a weird time travel mechanism makes it so whatever happened didn't actually happen in time. Maybe it ends with Kill'Em All. Maybe the whole incident needs to be hushed up to protect important secrets. Or sometimes, for reasons of his own, he chooses not to tell anyone. And occasionally - usually only in works that can comfortably invoke Rule of Funny - all the spectators are utter dimwits and can't even grasp what they've just seen. (A Confused Bystander Interview sometimes follows.) At any rate, none of the other characters (or at larger scale, history itself) have to change their opinions about him. This can overlap with the Wild Wilderness trope often as no one outside the setting would know who the heroes were or what they did. In worst cases, by dealing with The Greatest Story Never Told, The Hero had miss the less-urgent but more well-known events. And thus the public think of him as Fallen Hero. May be a A Day in the Limelight when done well. Poorly executed, is likely to be reviled as Filler. Often features What You Are in the Dark. Contrast Famed in Story. Compare Victory-Guided Amnesia, in which not even the hero gets to remember, and Hero of Another Story, in which a someone other than the main character(s) is having their own adventures, and may or may not be recongized for it in-universe but will only be given token attention story-wise. Examples of The Greatest Story Never Told include:
