Kane, the [[Big Bad]] of ''[[Command
* No discussion of Kane's awesome is complete without mentioning his casual disposal of [[The Starscream]].

'''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]]."
** Which itself gets a [[Call Back]] in a trailer for Tiberium Wars: a television reporting Kane's death is switched off...by Joseph Kucan. [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]].
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMstBfNZor8 Don't tell me this cutscene didn't give you goosebumps.]

** Even canonically earlier, would be the end of the Soviet Campaign from the original Red Alert.
** ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D51_UgXMSzM "Is that camera still running?!"]''
** ''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.]]''

* 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.
** And who could forget the Titan MKII voice?:

"I'm gonna crack some skulls!"
"Bringing the pain!" }}
* The beginning of GDI's first mission in Tiberian Sun shows GDI soldiers running in terror from Nod cyborgs screaming for reinforcements. Reinforcements who proceed to rain from the sky in [[It's Raining Men|drop pods]], blasting the cyborgs to pieces and landing on their corpses.
* And the last GDI cut scene in Tiberian Sun has the player character, Michael McNeil, going hand-to-hand with Kane himself in Nod's Pyramid Temple. They struggle off-camera, shots are fired, and Kane walks back into frame, still spouting his "I'm a close second to God" gibberish, leaving the player to think McNeil is dead. Then Kane chokes, checks himself, and realizes he's bleeding, turning [[Oh Crap|just in time]] to see McNeil running up to ''stab him with a giant shard of Tiberium'' and send him to hell with a pithy one-liner.
{{quote|
McNeil: "NOT ON MY WORLD!" (Stabs Kane. You see the Tiberium spike jutting out of Kane's back. McNeil twists the spike and Kane falls to the floor, ''quite'' dead.) "And that's an order." }}
* CABAL gets a good one in Firestorm. In the Nod campaign, when you're trying to take CABAL's core offline {{spoiler|It turns out the core is just a hologram, and CABAL starts launching waves of cluster missiles all over the map.}} The kicker: CABAL then taunts you with this line, "By the way, missile launch detected."
