Final is another perfect example tho: we are not just implying but making a really unknowable claim that someone won't appear again. Even characters whose licenses are revoked could be reverted back to DC. There's just no point in that. I am genuinely surprised to see others claim that "1st" implies "2nd"--that never occurred to me. A first appearance is just that: the first.

But either way, Only is used in such a manner that it assumes things that someone can't know. Without bothering to look in the edit history of Showcase Vol 1 37, whomever slapped that tag on Casper clearly did not bother with checking the subsequent Showcase or Metal Men appearances--he shows up several times and is a pretty key person for all of those stories, even if he doesn't have that much screen time.
