Yikes.
On the first, "Notable however was one of the first comic strip or
otherwise manifestations of a stalker, in the form of a social misfit
type who adored one of the twins from a perpetual distance, only to
hire someone to attack the twins just so he could stage a rescue."
The first, really? My first thought was that Lois Lane was doing it
the other way around since they drew the strips on pyramid walls (she
put herself in peril, Superman rescued her), but... I'm trying to
remember if even Jane Austen pulled this one. I think she at least
once allows a hero to rescue the heroine from being pestered by
gypsies, and once from one or more farm dogs.
