A pretty impressive one from last night:
We'd had (I think) Lex Luthor add a bunch of cards to the Line-Up. Joshua (playing Cyborg) played a card (I can't remember what) that lets you discard things from the Line-Up and replace them. He wipes 8 cards, 5 of them get replaced with Equipment. He plays the Dark Knight and just takes them all.

Why are there 8 cards in the Line-up?
The Anti-Monitor supervillain attack forces players to put one of their non-starter cards into the line-up.
Right, but that would have meant him getting defeated, shuffled back and into a player's hand before rather quickly to be able to destroy that many cards in the line-up, or playing J'onn J'onnz to copy his power I guess. It's in the rules that you do not replace any cards in the line-up if there are 5 or more. It's hard to believe that no one bought any cards from the line-up before it got back around to whomever defeated the Anti-Monitor. While it is possible, it's seems very unlikely.
I think I see your confusion.
Super villains have two parts to their text: An ability, and a First-Appearance Attack. The ability is what is played if you play him from your hand. The First-Appearance attack occurs the moment the Super villain is flipped up on the pile at the end of a player's turn.
So, the Anti-Monitor was flipped up at the end of a player's turn, and everyone shot cards to the center. Then play continued.
