Line 42:
* Aquaman freeing both himself and his infant son from death by underwater volcano by ''[[Papa Wolf|hacking his own hand off.]]''
** Just to point out how awesome this is: [[Joke Character|It's Aquaman, people! AQUAMAN!]]
*** It's more than that. He had help coming right then. He [[Rated "M" for Manly|chopped his hand off because he wanted to be 100% certain he'd save his son.]]
** Also, Aquaman vs. tank in the opening of "The Terror Beyond". You heard me.
** In the same episode, Aquaman and [[Wonder Woman]] have a duel on a deserted island and are equally matched. Until he drags her underwater, but still.
Line 54:
** You can't go wrong by going British in those situations, really. And I'm Brazilian.
* "In Blackest Night": Hawkgirl chews out five Green Lanterns for not standing by John Stewart during his trial, then proceeds to fight four of them, first with her mace, then with her bare hands. And she hands their butts to them until Killowog calls them off. Considering that: (1) Hawkgirl had only known John Stewart for a few months at this point; (2) that she had not yet found any evidence of his innocence; and (3) that her main reason for joining the Justice League was to spy on them; it really says something about her personality that she felt the need to fight for John's sake.
* "War World": First, without saying a word, Hawkgirl plays [[Good Cop, Bad Cop|Bad Cop]] to Green Lantern's Good Cop:
{{quote| '''Green Lantern:''' Relax. All we want is information about our friends. You can talk to me... ''[points to Hawkgirl]'' Or you can talk to ''her''.}}
** Then, she singlehandedly destroys Mongul's planet-destroying superweapon, by standing in its path and batting the laser beam back down the cannon with her mace.
Line 84:
* Hawkgirl scaring the piss out of Lobo, to the point that she practically [[Kid With the Leash|threw a leash on him]], in "Hereafter".
* In "Secret Society", Shade shows that he learns from his mistakes when fighting Batman. His shadow-creating nightstick is taken from him, and when Batman takes the opportunity to mock him, Shade ''sucker punches Batman''. Sure, he still lost, but that was awesome nontheless.
** That whole arena fight was CMOA for the entire League, but Superman had an exceptional one when Grodd is holding Superman by his head, hitting him with a psychic attack. Superman resists the attack then ''[[Finger -Poke of Doom|flicks Grodd on the nose]]'', throwing him the entire length of the football field.
** One of the entire series' all-time Crowning Moments of Awesome: Batman is facing off Clayface when Clayface reveals he isn't alone, and has five other super villains backing him up.
{{quote| '''Clayface:''' You didn't think I'd come without reinforcements, did you?<br />
Line 148:
'''Supergirl:''' How did yo--what, do you go through my trash?<br />
'''Question:''' ''Please''. I go through ''everyone's'' trash. }}
* Question also gets one in the JLU comic, when he walks into a press conference and blasts a Senator - who is actually a shapeshifting alien ([[Captain Ersatz|and is totally not a Skrull]]). That's just the ''start'' of the comic. He then proceeds to follow a trail of clues around the world - with repeated [[Shout -Out|Shout Outs]] to Rorschach from [[Watchmen]] - and ends up right back in the JL Earth Embassy. "Found something. Thought you should know." {{spoiler|The "core" League confesses that they planted the clues to give him something to do. Question says he already knew.}} He also says {{spoiler|he realized they were the shapeshifting aliens from earlier. As the fake League prepares to kill him, he says he stopped by their ship, and got the real Leaguers out of stasis. Beatdown ensues.}}
* Let's face it. Just about everything Question does is awesome.
* Amanda Waller, a woman with [[Badass Normal|no powers]] versus Brainthor:
Line 176:
'''Flash:''' ''(Facial expression softens, as [[Nigh Invulnerable|Brainthor's]] threat registers. Backs up slightly, turns around, and [[Super Speed|speeds]] away.)''<br />
'''Brainthor:''' ''([[Suicidal Overconfidence|smirks and begins rebuilding...]])''<br />
'''[[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass|Flash:]]''' ''([[Threat Backfire|Hits]] [[Underestimating Badassery|Brainthor]] [[Beware the Nice Ones|from the opposite direction.]] [[I Am Not Left -Handed|Runs around the world]] [[Let's Get Dangerous|and hits him again]]--)''<br />
''The rest of the core seven awaken.''<br />
'''Flash:''' ''(--[[Rapid -Fire Fisticuffs|Hits again. And again and again and again, again, again... Thereby, extracting Brainiac from Luthor molecule by molecule.]])''<br />
''[[Stuff Blowing Up|Massive explosion ensues.]] Debris clears revealing...''<br />
'''[[Scenery Censor|Lex Luthor]] (sans Brainiac):''' ''(Laying, panting, on the ground.)''<br />
Line 255:
{{quote| '''Warhawk:''' What are you supposed to do when you have the weight of the world on your shoulders?<br />
'''Green Lantern:''' Plant your feet. }}
** And lets not forget that there's Justice League Batman meeting Batman Beyond Bruce. That old Bruce not only goes with the group as himself but also plays the [[Good Cop, Bad Cop|bad cop]] to Batman and actually scares the mook more as an old man than his past self does as fully decked-out Batman. Static and GL put it best:
{{quote| '''Static:''' Wow, Batman playing good cop.<br />
'''Green Lantern:''' Everything's relative.<br />
Line 352:
*** To be fair Darkseid was carrying a hidden kryptonite knife too.
*** Not to mention Darkseid didn't look harmed at all by smashing through no less than four skyscrapers and being smashed into the ground. Darkseid sneered even when he was going to die, losing would hardly scare him.
*** And to add one more, before that, [[No -Holds -Barred Beatdown|Darkseid was pretty much beating Superman into the ground with brute strength!]] He didn't even feel the need to use his Omega Beams. Because we all know how well Superman tends to stand up to those.
** And how Lex finished things off: "I just had to get my [[Badass in A Nice Suit|power suit]]."
*** Just to point out - he's wearing his usual [[Badass in A Nice Suit|business suit]], not his robotic armor. The fact that he refers to the outfit he was first seen in ever - the suit he wears in the world of finance, as his power suit, really tells you something about him. "...first you have some business with me," indeed.
