Kane, the [[Big Bad]] of ''[[Command
* No discussion of Kane's awesome is complete without mentioning his casual disposal of [[The Starscream]].
{{quote|'''Seth''': ''You see, power shifts quickly in the Brotherhood. I've taken the liberty of dispatching your troops to the US. Kane has been loathe to attack America, but I feel that it's time, and you're the one to do it. This is the Pentagon. A full frontal attack with your strongest forces should render their military center of oper-'' ''*gunshot*''
'''Kane''': ''Yes. Power shifts more quickly than some people think.'' }}
** For reference, you've up until this point been taking orders from Seth, a shady guy with a tendency to send you into missions with faulty intelligence (such as calling an area undefended when it is in fact heavily defended) and slight hints of envy towards you. He's also made it clear that if you fail, [[You Have Failed Me...|you die.]] He plans to send you on a mission that involves a frontal assault on the Pentagon itself. Then Kane is introduced for the first time in the game, by ''killing'' Seth.
* In the sequel, Tiberian Sun, he returns just as badass. {{spoiler|As a traitor is about to be executed under continuous shouts of "Kane lives in death." Kane then appears, shouting "Kane LIVES!"}}
** "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKy4BdOVsZI&feature=related Rule of thumb, Hassan: You can't kill] [[The Messiah]]."
Line 14:
** ''Kane's Wrath'' is one long CMOA, but that's understandable when you've got an entire expansion focusing on that most Magnificent of [[Magnificent Bastard|Magnificient Bastards]]. When Kane reveals that he {{spoiler|deliberately engineered Redmond Boyle's survival because he knew he'd act as an [[Unwitting Pawn]] and use the Ion Cannon on Temple Prime}}, Kane's capacity for the Xanatos Gambit reaches incredible proportions.
*** Alexa Kovacs briefly tops that by {{spoiler|revealing that she set up Killian Qatar for an attack by Nod forces on Temple Prime, temporarily leaving Kane ''speechless''.}}
** The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVH-qeWom0o intro cutscene] to ''Kane's Wrath'' is, itself, a true CMOA for Kane himself. How awesome is this speech? Kane punctuates it ''[[Large Ham|with thunder and explosions.]]''
{{quote|''"Our enemies believe that we have been defeated, and that I am no longer among the living. They are '''gravely''' mistaken. You and I are all that remain, but all that is necessary. For together we shall raise a great army. Together, we shall show the world's downtrodden who the real enemy is! GDI promises them prosperity, but in the slums of Rio, the homeless and the hungry know the truth. They have been forgotten. They have '''nothing'''!....'''but''' their '''anger!''' We will take that spark and start a fire which will become a great conflagration! '''[[
* Tiberium Twilight has quickly become the black sheep of the franchise, but that doesn't mean it too doesn't have its share of CMOAs.
** Notably, during the GDI campaign, is Colonel James' response to an impenetrable Nod defense: drop an entire GDI army on it from orbit.
