Special fuckin' eyes, man. I know I was spoiled on it through bleach and Naruto, but I really wish I could think of some better examples because I know they exist. Vriska being one.
Anybody know any other examples? I like eyes that have absolute vision so to speak (i.e can detect when people go mucking about the timestream/see alternate realities). I even had a character with that ability from 2011 but I guess it'd get called a Sans ripoff if it ever got popular now, oh well.
I remember reading some book series years ago where a mage was fucking around with dark magic and got hourglass-shapde pupils. He could see the passage of time and described viewing his friends as seeing them "dying by inches".

My bad, but I don't feel like remaking the thread to change the title, either.
Okay, how about this for a cliche then:
Revealing the big bad/any threat with a closeup shot of their eye opening.

Time travel shenanigans resulting in historical figures teaming up.

That was Raistlin from the Dragonlance series.

Man, what do you mean? The eye thing is definitely a cliche. Any time a hack author wants to show a character is special in some way, they go straight for the eyes.
A good litmus test is to ask whether something would make sense in a parody. I can definitely imagine a guy in a parody saying "I'm the best boxer in the universe", taking off his sunglasses, and revealing fist-shaped pupils.
