The Darkness (comics)/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • After Uncle Frankie killed Jenny, Jackie became suicidally depressed. His reaction? Invite Frankie to a warehouse he's filled with thousands of gallons of gasoline and blow him up with his entire crew. It also serves as an excellent Fridge Brilliance moment when you realize fire of that amount is about the only thing capable of killing not only Jackie but the Darkness as well.
    • Jackie gets better, obviously.
      • Technically, he DID die there. Went to Hell too, and would have stayed if not for Tom Judge.
  • Jackie's single-handed defeat of an evil Cherub Host by summoning an EVEN LARGER army of Darklings.
  • Jackie vs. the Darkness in the Empire arc. Jackie defeats it by heading into orbit and obliterating it with the entire light of the sun. It's another case where he runs the risk of suicide to do so.
  • Jackie's defeat of the original Angelus. He confronts her in broad daylight and gives her the location of the Brotherhood's secret base. After scaring the tar out of the Brotherhood, he lures her under the Statue of Liberty in the cave the brotherhood was using and kills her. Given this host of the Angelus had existed 900 years, it was a big victory for Jackie.
