!Awesome moments for the comic book ''Comicbook/{{Flashpoint}}'':

* The sinking of the entire continent of Europe may rank up as one of the most awesome things Aquaman has ever done. Comicbook/{{Aquaman}} - [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway the guy who talks to fish]] - [[OhCrap sank a whole damn continent]].
** [[spoiler:Though it wasn't exactly him - he was using Geoforce to do this.]]
* Lois and a depowered Britannica are trapped inside a secret bunker in Britain, housing Britannica's armor, the only way she can use her powers. Cornered by Artemis, one of the Amazons elite warriors, Britannica is impaled by her, and Lois is about to be executed. Crawling and bleeding to her armor, Britannica gets there just in time, and flies in just in time and [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe busts her clean in half]].
* [[spoiler: Thomas Wayne, Batman - a non-powered man in his late 50's - impales the Reverse Flash with a sword, killing him. That's right, he just killed the big bad. But we can't really be surprised. He's Batman.]] Heck, in the cartoon animation [[spoiler:he headshots Reverse Flash from behind... with a handgun]].
** [[spoiler: Not to mention ''Batman: Knight Of Vengeance #1'', where he goes mano-a-mano with Killer Croc - an enemy ''Bruce'' has trouble with in the regular timeline - in a sewer, and saves himself from being drowned by ''[[EyeScream stabbing Croc in the eye with a finger]]'' before splitting Croc's head open with the brute's own machete!]]
* [[spoiler: Seeing a living, breathing Vic Sage and Kid Devil again, even for just one panel, was really awesome.]]

* Leah's [[TheBusCameBack return to the team]]. After Team One makes a bust at a frat house, one of the boys breaks away and runs for it. Instead of trying to chase him, the team calmly debates what kind of athlete he is based on his running - because they know Leah's in a position to come ''flying out of nowhere'' to tackle the guy to the ground.



* In a non-team example, a teenage girl in "Perfect Storm" manages to talk down a school shooter whom she'd been friends with, simply by being honest and understanding.

Badass is no longer a trope.


* In the series finale, Parker realizes that there's a final bomb set to go off and, with his team unable to get to it in time, goes to disarm it himself. The mad bomber finds him and shoots at him, but Parker keeps trying to disarm the bomb. Even when he gets ''hit'', ''four times'', he keeps trying to disarm the bomb, all the while ''taunting the psycho that's trying to kill him''. And when he succeeds, he makes a point, while he's bleeding and barely able to talk, of telling the bomber that his plan has failed, to his face, while a gun is pointed at him. BadAss.

--> '''Ed''': Uh-uh.
--> '''Father''': Excuse me?
--> '''Ed''': Yeah I'm sorry sir, that's just not going to happen.
--> '''Father''': And why is that exactly?
--> '''Ed''': That's a good question. Here's a better question sir. Who does the big-time lawyer call when he needs a big-time lawyer?
--> '''Father''': I've had just about enough of this.
--> '''Ed''': Haven't we all.
