I know this kind of thing existed before AOT, but AOT is the best example of it.

If i'd given another example, say: Marvels the Punisher backstory, or Johnathan Harker from Dracula backstory, or the silver power rangers backstory, people may not have heard of them and won't understand my point. Its not about giving the earliest example, its giving the mosy well known one.
