History Awesome / Jumper

** [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]/[[AvertedTrope Averted]] in the movie where he end up apologising for his abuse when David teleports back to his old bedroom without him interfering in any way. Becomes even more awesome when he defends his son by refusing to tell Roland anything when he interrogates him.
* In the third book, Cent figures out how to more or less ''fly'' with her jumping, something neither of her parents, who have been jumping for two decades, never even thought of.
** Even better, Cent figures out how to give herself very temporary bursts of SuperSpeed/ SuperStrength by redefining her momentum but not her position by "jumping in place". This skill turns the previous book's major antagonist, Hyacinth Pope, into a rather anti-climactic showdown.

* Davy's, in the book: [[spoiler:Scaring the terrorist who murdered his mother into surrender by dropping him off the World Trade Center - ''repeatedly''. Also, CallingTheOldManOut. By jumping him to his mother's grave, taking the belt he used to beat him with, and forcing him to admit that his abuse tore their family apart. And not by whipping him with it, either; he ''smacks the ground over the grave with it, spraying grave soil all over the drunken idiot, screaming that she would still be alive if he hadn't driven her away.'' His father agrees, and enters AA that same day.]]

* Jamie Bell's character uses his teleportation power to ''throw a bus at Samuel L. Jackson.''
** Jamie Bell's character was just pretty awesome overall.
*** The scene where he jumps a few feet in front of him along a hallway throwing individual shock waves at Samuel L. Jackson? GOD DAMN

** Jamie Bell's character was just a CrowningMomentOfAwesome altogether.
