Line 17:
* In ''[[Transformers]]'' Spotlight: Cliffjumper. When the Decepticons killed a humanoid female he befriended, he picks up his guns and kills all seven of them. It wasn't shown how he did it, but Cliff was hammering his friends tombstone with one of the Cons heads.
* A beautifully understated one from ''[[The Sandman]]'', in which Lucien, Dream's mild-mannered, polite and determinedly non-threatening librarian, mentions that Dream's prisoners -- all the dark monsters ''too horrific or dangerous to serve as nightmares'' -- have escaped, then adds:

* The [[Wolverine]]/Lobo fight in ''[[Marvel Vs DC]]'' took place entirely behind a bar. Most likely because there was no plausible way the writers could think of to have Wolverine (who, at the time, had been stripped of his adamantium skeleton and claws) beat a [[Superman]]-class powerhouse like Lobo.
** It was later revealed that Lobo had been bribed by Professor X to throw the fight. [[Money, Dear Boy| One of the easiest ways to defeat Lobo is to pay him off.]]
* In ''[[Don Rosa|Life and Times]]'' series volume VIII Slick gave Scrooge [[Your Mom|the lamest insult ever.]] There was no battle; [[Curb Stomp Battle|Scrooge was so full of pure wrath that it couldn't be called a fight.]] Shame that we saw only what the people outside the casino saw.
* ''[[Peanuts]]'':
** Woodstock somehow managing to win a fight with the mean cat next door and rescuing Linus' blanket. How he managed to do so was a mystery, leaving Snoopy asking [[How Is That Even Possible?]].
** Also, in one series of strips, Peppermint Patty challenged Charlie Brown to a football game, not knowing he didn't have a team. Snoopy came instead with Woodstock and his other bird friends. The game was never shown, but according to Patty, "they clobbered us but good!"
* In terms of pure power, one of the strongest foes Spider-Man has ever defeated was [[Cosmic Entity|Firelord]], a former Herald of [[Galactus]] with powers on par with those of the [[Silver Surfer]]. Just ''how'' did Spidey do this? Well... with no witnesses to the fight until the Avengers showed up to pull him off the defeated Firelord, kinda hard to say.
