The Authority/Awesome

"Jenny: YOU. I'm talking to you. I don't know if you can understand me. I don't even know if you have a language. You think the world belongs to you? Earth has a new manager. This world is mine."
 * Jenny singlehandedly facing down an entire aerospace fleet from a parallel Earth called Sliding Albion. (Two of her teammates: "Am I wrong to find her utterly terrifying?" "It just proves you're still human.")
 * Jenny's Pre Ass Kicking One Liner before electrocuting

"Last Call: Light me, you lazy bastard.
 * The Midnighter destroying Kaizen Gamorra by driving the Carrier into his base; "I love being me". So very wrong, and yet awesome.
 * In issue #14, The Midnighter defeats a Complete Monster Iron Man Expy with a hug.
 * The Engineer's escape from the evil family she was imprisoned with when the team was replaced by Heroic Sociopath Captain Ersatz-es.
 * Midnighter brutally murdering each and every member of the evil mirror team that replaced them.
 * Hey, that Crowning Moment was just as much Apollo's. Having spent the mirror team's reign chained up, away from the light that powers him, being used as a novelty cigarette lighter and literal punching bag, Jenny slips him some sunshine. The results:

Apollo: My pleasure."


 * The end of the Revolutions arc. After twelve issues (and, for the characters, several years) of painful Emotional Torque, seeing Midnighter rip out Bendix's spine was cathartic to say the least.
 * "Well then, I guess I just don't give a shit."
 * In his own series Midnighter...
 * ...kicks Adolf Hitler in the groin.
 * ...drops a space station on an evil mastermind.
 * ...when told to kill one mook and leave the other alive? "Didn't say what condition."
