"Lucas: Yeah, I'd tell you to fuck yourself, but I wouldn't want to put "Towelie McNaked" in there out of a job."
 * The 10 Doctors: Doctor Three ninja-kicks a Dalek into a WALL. Where it EXPLODES. Beautiful.
 * To those unfamiliar with Doctor Who, in the new series, Daleks are made much more threatening, to the point where a single Dalek is a One Man Army. And one of the doctors defeats a Dalek by kicking it.
 * The Fourth Doctor gets his here.
 * Achewood: During the Great Outdoor Fight arc, Ray tears a dude's face off.
 * And then, of course, there's his epic final standoff with the Jeeps where he pretty much destroys the entire fight grounds ("razed to the ground and salted!") before speeding off with Beef.
 * Going through the Great Outdoor Fight's wiki quickly reveals that the Great Outdoor Fight is just an annual CMoA for one or two people.
 * Roast Beef - a cat known for his horrible depression, low self-esteem, and generally being a complete doormat - finally has had enough and grows a backbone with much fervor and sass. (The few strips following continue the Crowning Moment.)
 * That isn't the only time. Let's look at the time that he gave his emotionally abusive grandmother the talking-to that she deserved for all of Beef's life.
 * There's also Phillipe, a fricking FIVE-YEAR-OLD, and his efforts to find his beloved couch.
 * Also, there's Nice Pete, and his response to Pat's arrogance
 * And even kind old British teddy bear (literally) Cornelius gets one when he wins the Badass games
 * And then...there's this. (Oh come on. You WISH you could do this. Admit it.)
 * In the console-RPG webcomic ADVENTURERS!, the laser-obsessed villain Khrima had his Crowning Moment of Awesome during the third phase of the final battle, where he used an excessively powerful attack that cracked the game disk!
 * While we're talking about ADVENTURERS!... two words: "Summon... PANTHEON!"
 * Also, "Hey, 'Terny. You missed one"
 * And Eternion himself, "I'd say, act of God. For example, ME."
 * Amazoness: When Ess, the normally shy, bullied, joke-of-a-successor to the Queen ups and rants out loud to the assembled Amazons of Themiskyra that putting The Wholesome Crossdresser on trial for being a male in Amazon lands is inherently unfair since he has been raised as a woman and didn't admit to the truth of his gender out of fear of being caught.
 * Angel Moxie this strip, (bear in mind Grant Kyokasho is an Eyes Always Shut character).
 * Which leads to this four strips later.
 * "Omni-Magical Detonation Omega!"
 * Awkward Zombie gives us this. Come on, who doesn't wish you could do that in-game?
 * Every single panel of Axe Cop is made of 100% distilled awesome.
 * Better Days Fisk Black saves his mother from rape ... with a baseball bat.
 * Shiela Black herself gets one when Fisk's teacher accuses her of being a slut. This is the result.
 * Bittersweet Candy Bowl, The Confrontation page on Berserk Button was Mike's.
 * Bob and George: has Bob's response to Alternate Bass and Megaman's ultimate attack.
 * Charby the Vampirate: Mye fights back.
 * Victor fights too.
 * Not to mention Charby and Zeno showing off their new powers
 * After Charby beats the crap out of Tony and Hex rather easily in he demon form Kavonn comes in looking like a badass
 * City of Reality, Ian Sampson remaking/ adding to about 30 comic pages in chapter 7, and slamming all of the happy endings that could have been into not only the faces of AV and Todo, but into the player as well.
 * Ctrl Alt Del:Ethan Ryan McManus and his marriage proposal. Let's not kid ourselves; how many people would go as far as to spell out a marriage proposal to his girlfriend Lilah, by sweeping an arcade game's high scores slots and writing the initials as "LIL" "AH_" "WIL" "YOU" "MAR" "RY_" "ME"? The mind boggles at how much money he had to sink into that machine to pull it off.
 * Let's not forgot how he hit Christian...
 * Then there's Christian getting revenge.
 * This may soon be topped by Ethan's Xantos Gambit. Who knew that a moron like Ethan could plan something like that.....
 * Sadly for Ethan, he played right into Christian's hands.
 * Or did he?
 * Plus, Ethan being...well, a rather quirky kind of character, managed to build a sentient robot out of the guts (and design) of an X-Box.
 * Ethan may have taught it to love, but Zeke (the robot in question) forged his own path after it tried to make nice with strangers and turned into a machine that advocates (on a daily basis) the erradication of the human species. His "Humanity can suck my hard drive!" speech is the first of his CMoAs (even better: try picturing Zeke as having Bender's voice.)
 * Every time Lucas has to handle some moron is his CMOA. Also:

"Dan: I learned to read minds. Among other things."
 * Daniel Ti'Fiona in Dan and Mabs Furry Adventures gets one when chasing an old enemy, he reveals that, since they last fought, he has become a shapeshifting, thought hearing Incubus.

"Gandalf: We cannot hope to achieve victory through strength of arms... but we can give Frodo a ch-
 * Abel refuses to play Wildy's games. It's mitigated by how quickly she regains her usual smug nonchalance, but managing to take her aback at all is a commendable achievement.
 * Dead of Summer has quite a few, but two especially notable ones are, where  , and the Spinning Bear Driver.
 * DM of the Rings: The DM shows "Aragorn" to Be Careful What You Wish For here.
 * And don't forget "Gimli" showing his experience in roleplaying games here.
 * And Legolas going completely off the rails.
 * "Gimli" tells "Legolas" why the latter sucks.
 * Call it a stretch, but "Aragorn's" take on the final battle feels like it should be worth a mention. It doesn't hurt that he's finally roleplaying... after a fashion. The not-quite-manic expression on his face doesn't hurt.

Aragorn: Yeah I'm sure you've got a great plan and everything, but I'm the King here. I run stuff now. And I say we're going on the offensive. We're going to take our army and march to Sauron's castle. And then we're going to beat on him until he cries like a little girl."

"Flintlocke: RAMMING SPEED!
 * Dresden Codak: "No more handouts." Kimiko finally gets over her Daddy issues.
 * Pretty well every major character (and some minor ones) in Errant Story has had at least one CMOA in the near-ten-year life of the comic, and some have several.
 * Sarine just about has this trope as her hat, but this one, if you know the story, is pretty hard to top.
 * Meji gets a pretty good one too, as she passes her final exam (or would if Professor Yukiri wasn't such a hardass).
 * Even Misa, who's protected by her fellow elves from ever possibly having a CMOA (although she doesn't exactly see it that way), gets her opportunity (which also qualifies as another Sarine CMOA) during the final fight with Ian.
 * Does nobody know about the existence of the comic Ever After? One of these happened in the first issue, Little Red Riding Hood kills an army with a saw, chopping one guard in half at one point (The guard in question had two shields), and as soon as reinforcements arrive, she kills them all, fast.
 * Although when she was going to kill Humpty, she was knocked out by Puss in Boots, she lost a few points.
 * But Mr. Boots himself got some points for managing to knock her out.
 * Lothar Hex of Exterminatus Now manages to have a CMOA without even needing to be conscious during a particularly heavy night. "You can't prove I ate that baby!"
 * An even better example in this comic. The most obvious joke they could have made in this comic, used for the only time so far for the most amazingly badass moment ever.
 * This is even more awesome because it's a Chekhov's Gun. One of the earliest strips had the set up, but subverted it with Virus Breaking the Fourth Wall to say, "Nah, we're not gonna do the Python bit yet. Maybe next time," with the payoff coming four years later.
 * Hell that whole section of the comic was a moment of awesome. The crew are attacked by two dragons and Lothar, uncharacteristically, pushes the rest of the gang to safety and takes the full brunt of the fireball himself... the awesomeness continues as the gang reacts in horror to the horrific burning of Lothars... hat. Which hits his Berserk Button and makes him tear the two dragons to pieces by his lonesome in a Gory Discretion Shot.
 * And later on there's Eastwoods "rebuttal" to a gloating Sylas Morths Hannibal Lecture.
 * Has anyone read the comic The Fancy Adventures of Jack Cannon? So many CMOA
 * Angel gets a CMOA.
 * And now Jack gets one.
 * This whole story arc. But yeah, there are so many more
 * Fans! Lord Feral stands up to Bugs Bunny, Checkerboard Nightmare, Ambush Bug, and Deadpool for nearly a whole minute. Give that man a medal.
 * There is also the appearance of Stephen Colbert.
 * Oh, no. No, no, no. See... that Stephen is a "manifestation" created by the bad guys (although he does get some good and creepy lines in). The good guys later beat up Stephen Colbert... off-panel. There's just so much awesome in here that that's not even a big thing for them. Like when:
 * Rumy fights a Superman-equivalent to the point where she can defeat him.
 * Kath, with little established combat ability and faced with trained Men in Black has mace.
 * In the face of fiction becoming reality and the world as we know it coming to an end, they are joined by these allies, rallied by this speech, and... well... keep reading; it doesn't let up. If you've read the archives, "The Ways the World Ends" will up the Holy Shit Quotient practically every page.
 * they guilt a would-be world-ruler by letting a previous antagonist yell at her for outdoing him
 * Many, many throughout Flintlockes Guide to Azeroth, but this exchange is worthy.
 * Many, many throughout Flintlockes Guide to Azeroth, but this exchange is worthy.

Blackrose: What are we ramming?

Flintlocke: EV'RYTHING!"

"Collin: My mom hasn't spoken to me for three years.
 * Friendly Hostility: Leslie Rudd gets several throughout the pirates arcs, including his "who hates their mother more" competition with Collin, and blasting his travelling companions awake with Motorhead and informing them that he had found the pirates pretty much overnight.

Leslie: Ha. My mom tried to sell me for two bags of heroin when I was six."

"King: "This would be so awesome if I didn't wet myself.""
 * And Kitty gets one here
 * Geeks Next Door: Barry, the resident Cloud Cuckoo Lander, goes to an anime convention he got banned from the year earlier to meet a girl he met online. And then proceeds to declare his love for her by RICKROLLING THE ENTIRE CONVENTION Read it here.
 * Get Medieval The bees.
 * Torquel's deception and the sniping that ensued.

 * Eleanor's Mama Bear moment.
 * From A Girl and Her Fed; Hello Clarice.
 * Hanna Is Not a Boys Name has Hanna's first (and so far only) moment of badass, and it's a whopper.
 * HI Story Stephanos
 * First Step of One Thousand Miles, Stephanos's fight against the archangel, especially this page.
 * Alas, the link above seems to be broken; not knowing which page was intended, this Troper offers this page as a potential replacement.
 * Tip of a Quill : winning at chess while somewhat occupied by fighting a rather large flying serpent that has its coils around him, all in mid-air (and he apparently without the ability to fly). Quite frankly, this Troper thinks that Stephanos is awesome in general.
 * "ARGH! QUEEN TO F7!"
 * Zhan
 * From Chapter 3 - A Deviant Cause Zhan has become a fast fan favourite, and people have been quoting his cry from pages 25 and 26.
 * "And everyone knows, all houses need... WALLS!!!"
 * From Housepets: Wait a minute, what's Tarot do- Holy crap, a Spirit Dragon? Many readers have reported their awesome-meter going nuts over this.
 * Funnily Lampshaded by King.

"Reckonin': Stand up, Jack. I'm sure I don't need to tell you that there are many ways to physically show someone that you care for them...
 * There is no way to describe how awesome Spot (superdog)'s appearance in their Pridelands "game" is.
 * From How I Killed Your Master: "I had never seen the Five Mantis Fists before."
 * Inherit the Earth Anyone else want to be captain?
 * Jack: Jack's revenge on Drip after the latter's actions towards Fnar made the former very, very pissed off. Mmmm, near-complete destruction of one's physical existence bar one tiny bit to keep the rest from regenerating.
 * It is established early on that physical displays of affection from an angel can This leads to the following exchange when the Angel Reckonin', despite  gets frustrated enough with Jack's emo angst to decide that Jack needs to stop moping about and remember and face his past.

Jack: I don't understand w-

Reckonin': [Punches Jack in the Face] STOP YOUR DAMNED WHINING!!"

"Cypress: "You don't have the option to refuse."
 * Central, the by-the-book angel,
 * The titular hero of The Japanese Beetle got his while battling Hypnotron, a seemingly invincible robot well on its way to becoming President and destroying America. Here's how he did it:
 * Jesus Christ: In The Name of The Gun: Everyone knows about the walking on water thing, but did you know that He could also run up a stream of urine in order to backflip-kick kick a Nazi in the face?
 * Kevin and Kell: Coney's grandmother Dorothy -- who has been pushing a herbivore lifestyle on her -- storms out of the Dewclaw house, upset that Coney will not eat vegetables. She's wondering what's the point of Coney's protective stage -- just as a predator shadow falls over her. Cue, in the very next comic, Coney grabbing the beast, eating it, and then waving to Dorothy while sitting on the pile of bones. And she's maybe three.
 * Kell gets one when her lion co-worker Frank Mangle tries to challenge their boss R.L. for control of Herd Thinners; she jumps in to keep them from killing each other. She ends up defeating both of them, making her the new CEO of Herd Thinners.
 * Keychain of Creation: "It's not just a poem. It's a command code."
 * And Mew Cai's bluff of the Abyssals. But overshadowing that is Mew Cai's Heroic Sacrifice to fulfill her final duty.
 * Marena "negotiating" the Fae into taking unbreakable vows of service.
 * Nemen Yi's introduction. The entire damn thing.
 * Kid Radd:
 * GI Guy is pretty much a walking Crowning Moment of Awesome. As he puts it himself, "My player spent a lot of time leveling me up."
 * entire plot. Even if it fails.
 * Kobayashi and Gnarl taking levels in badass and joining the heroes in the final battle.
 * Radd's decision to oppose the Moderators to begin with, and much that he does thereafter.
 * Lackadaisy Cats: You're not holding it right!
 * Also: Put Viktor Vasko in a garage and throw some armed pig farmers into the mix. Awesome ensues.
 * Or the flaming car scene. Do not question Rocky's logic!
 * Last Resort has White Noise enjoying one for a few pages in a row after Arikos tries to brainwash him. White not only shrugs off the attempt, he proceeds to tell Arikos that the attempt to brainwash him is exactly WHY he's not being picked as his lieutenant, and then proceeds to insult the remaining candidates in no uncertain terms.
 * And then continued several pages later when Cypress tries to strongarm him into picking Arikos anyway:

White Noise: "Sure I do. Watch me.""

"Robin: Did... did I save my lesbian?
 * And then White finally picks his lieutenant at random.
 * How did The Mansion of E celebrate its seventh anniversary?
 * minus playing baseball with the gods.
 * A Miracle of Science Several, including the main characters re-entering the atmosphere of Mars...without a ship. And surviving. While using giant wings of fire to slow their descent. Also, the finale:
 * The best thing about the giant wings of fire? It was completely unnecessary. She only did it to impress her partner. It worked.
 * "That noise, gentlemen... is the sound of CONQUEST!" (Link contains a big spoiler.)
 * Don't ever piss off Martian tech. Just don't.
 * For the record, that is basically a metal detector.
 * Actually a Martian detector. Built by Martians.
 * Mob Ties Never underestimate the power of the wedgie.
 * BEAR HUG!!!
 * I punched them until they agreed to come.
 * He's serious. He did.
 * DESTROY ALL RYUS.
 * My pleasure.
 * Warning, spoiler!
 * Behold, The Dragon Of Life.
 * Don't Know... Don't Care.
 * IT'S SIDZILLA!!!
 * 6.4 Horrible Horrible Seconds Later.
 * MS Paint Adventures: Problem Sleuth. It only takes around 40 "screens" before the first CMOA happens, and then it only goes up from there
 * Triple Truffle Shuffle. 'Nuff said. (Hit "Next" a few times.)
 * Nervous Broad gets one during the fight with Madame Murel when she finishes her combination Comb Rave with Hysterical Dame by setting her knife on fire and throwing it between the madame's eyes. Damn.
 * PS: SEPULCHRITUDE.
 * Destiny flips the fuck out.
 * Aw, to hell with it. The entirety of Chapter 22 (Which, incidentally, is called "Sepulchritude") is made of sheer awesome and epic. Check it out here with extra Ominous Latin Chanting thrown in for good measure.
 * MS Paint Masterpieces, a webcomic retelling of Mega Man, has a few:
 * Mega Man countering the Time Stopper, then giving Quick Man a Groin Attack while in a Humoungus Mecha.
 * Polka using Reset Mode.
 * Enker revealing he's made from the same material used to make Mets.
 * ...and soon after, Mega Man figuring out how to defeat him; declaring, "I'm gonna kill you to pieces."
 * And then there's Quint...for the plain and simple fact that he's a time-displaced Evil Twin of Mega Man who fights with a nuclear powered pogo stick...and he's easily one of the most threatening characters in the strip.
 * Of course, we've seen excellent use of the pogo stick before
 * As of strip #903: Never under any circumstances, lie to Mega Man. Especially after he's copied most of your powers. Unless of course, you want another demonstration of how awesome he is. He in quick succession, and is already moving in on Wood Man. Heck, taking on Six Robot Master's at once all by his lonesome is probably good enough.
 * And during the first storyline, Mega Man telling Wily to shut up mid-speech. Totally awesome, especially with his admission that the every single fight he'd been through, he'd been making it up as he went along.
 * Electric Man is made of this.
 * During Allegro's attack against Dr. Light's labratory
 * Nature of Natures Art has its share - hardly surprising, since it's a martial arts comic. Examples by arc:
 * 10%+:
 * Secretary: And one for the writer, for being so willing to write such a polarising character as SV.
 * Nerf Now! gives us this.
 * Piffany disabling an evil cleric in Nodwick. With smily faces. Actually, that needs more emphasis. Piffany, who isn't the sharpest axe in the armory (actually, more of a staff), defeats a priestess of the darker powers by COVERING SAID PRIESTESS IN GOSH-DARNED SMILY FACES.
 * Penny and Aggie: The strip that catapulted Jack from bit player to Ensemble Darkhorse. (Warning: MASSIVE spoiler.)
 * The end of the "Suicide Run" chapter may also count; it certainly does as a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming.
 * Sara taking charge of the spirit-crushing drama on her Reality Show by having Rich drive up on his motorcycle, live on the air, as the devil and "V For Victory"-flash the audience with a shout of "YEAH, BITCHES," before riding out with Sara.
 * Pv P's Brent takes up golfing. Notable for coming on the heels of a major plot event of his own, and quite a reversal from his usual curmudgeonly personality.
 * Real Life Comics: Pretty much every strip in this arc from this one out.
 * Rock, Paper, Cynic has a few of these, however, examining the Author Note of 'The Claus' reveals the message, "Lock your doors. He's coming."
 * RPG World has it's 500th strip, aptly named Conversation Interrupted. It's too cool for words.
 * From Sam and Fuzzy: Through the entire run of the comic, Sam has been utterly incompetent, at one point managing to dislocate his arm merely by waving. Through a series of events too crazy to go into detail on, he became the only person who can become the Ninja Emperor and revive the Ninja Empire. Once Sam created a ruling council, Blankface was planning to kill him and make it look like an accident. And then this comic happened.
 * Shortpacked The story where Les gets kidnapped. After beating her location out of Faz, Amber tries to convince her that it's too dangerous and she should give up. Robin's response? Let's do this poop. . All in the setting of
 * And all in one panel.
 * Then she beats Sydney Yus. With fridge logic
 * Actually, Although, Sydney didn't think of that so it was fridge logic at the time.

Mike: No. She died.

Amber: Yes Robin. You saved them. And you saved the store.

Robin: Th'n that was purty kickass. Tell my Tale to those who ask. Tell it truly, th' ill deeds along wit' th' good. And let me be judged 'cordingly. Though, if y' embellished it wit' a hot threesome 'r somethin', that'd be cool."

"Galasso: First mistake: Never tell Galasso what to do. Second Mistake: Never assume a man does not have ninjas at his disposal.
 * The robber arc.

So after you were shot, Ronnie got up and disarmed the robber himself. With patriotism.

Robber: [As he is loaded into an ambulance]] IT WAS REAGAN, I TELL YOU! RONALD REAGAN BROKE MY LEGS! |undefined"

""Any last words before we catapult you, impostor?"
 * Straw Vulcans, take note: this is how a real scientist handles emotions.
 * Dude, go Amber! She tells off Faz, beats up Ninja Rick, and yells at Reagan.
 * Faz's line just before the showdown. This troper didn't even know one could talk dirty to a girl in Spock Speak...
 * The last two panels of this strip are definitely another win for Amber.
 * The follow-up is even better.
 * The actual phrase "Crowning Moment of Awesome" is used in this strip. The walls of fiction and reality are breaking down! I don't know what to believe any more!
 * Mike, MIKE, has an Even Evil Has Standards moment with the aptly named Asshole Guy. Yeah he's a lot crueler than anybody else in the comic, but at least he cops to it.
 * Slightly Damned gives us Cliff and Duster's Siara Special.
 * The most epic "polar" bear ever, brought to you by Spiked Math
 * Starslip: WEAR IT LIKE A HAAAAAT!! Both a Crowning Moment of Awesome and a Crowning Moment Of Mundane Made Awesome.
 * Also when Katarakis sabotaged the disarming of the Jupiter bomb. To record the discovery of the bomb, and make Deep Time set it off early, he CARVED IT ON HIS CHEST.
 * Take us to Starslip For those who are unfamiliar. The last several years Mennon has been trying to get back to a worldline where he saved Jovia. He abused a stable timeloop to give him more processing time to find the path back. He just let is go so he can save his family and friends and EARN not scheme a way to his love.
 * LOVE IS A BATTLEFIELD The spine of the Cosmos, in Context
 * Terinu Teri blows up the Cannon Ship's power core. While he's strapped into it.
 * Rufus, on life support and dying of a virus decimating all Vulpine, snarls in his doctor's face to let him try the cure first, rather than risk an untested vaccine on Melika.
 * Teri again, backstabbing Princess Titalia's personal guard and holding a knife to her throat to get the cure for the above.
 * Thunderstruck: Grant Grogan's . Also, just about any time Saxony does one of his magic tricks.
 * In This page of Triquetra Cats, a villain's CMoA (taking down M-P in a matter of minutes) is met with one from Vyolette as she  
 * Recently in Two Kinds, Laura, the pacifist, gets one by using the General's magic focus as a garrote.
 * Unshelved's Buddy the Book Beaver, library page, gets one in this Unshelved strip. Unless you prefer this one, also awesome.
 * In User Friendly, Pitr shows us EXACTLY how much of a not-really-very-evil-genius he can be by:
 * Cloning Cthulhu.
 * Selling these clones to make millions of dollars.
 * Spending the money on a flight into space.
 * Hijacking the rocket and flying to the moon.
 * Using magnetic powder to turn the moon into an image of his face.
 * Quincy Tinkle gets his Crowning Moment early on in Wigu when explaining why the roly-poly that hospitalized his son does not exist anymore
 * Wondermark: In which Salvation is summoned.
 * The Wotch This The Wotch comic and the asskicking that ensued after it.
 * "And stay down."
 * Topped just a few days later. Angie is totally running on awesome in this arc.
 * Two CMoAs in one strip.
 * Robin gets one here.
 * Let's not forget Cassie   in this strip. Made even better by the fact that everyone in the comic (and the viewer as well, up to this point) considers her to be nothing more than an amateur mage.
 * Sykos, who is practically already a walking Crowning Moment of Awesome in and of himself, has one here.
 * As awesome as the above Sykos moment was, his reaction to finding out the Wicked Witch's name was probably even better.
 * The Zombie Hunters Charlie's single-handed rescue . As summed up by Sammie: "And FUCK, Charlie! You Like,  There should be an award for that!"
 * Terror Island. This strip.

"Yes. You are all getting sleepy.""


 * In Joe and Monkey during an particularly dramatic arc involving the kidnapping of Megan the main characters little sister by an Child killer [and possible rapist] Kleptobot hunts down the kidnapper and rescues the Chloroformed Megan. and Monkey then drives the Kidnapper to insanity.

 * To the person who wants to make a CMOA page for Hellbastard Comics : If it's on a page, it's awesome.
 * After many people, on this very wiki, give up on VG Cats because of...well, let's just say questionable quality and leave at that, he manages to rank up a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming. How awesome is that?
 * This beautiful slice of Fridge Brilliance from Richs Comix Blog. A perception filter hidden in his catch phrase? Genius.
