---> '''Terry/Terrific I (smiling slightly):''' I '''[[KickTheSonOfABitch know]]''' you did--Mr. Terrific.

* As a result of some time-travel, Mr. Terrific winds up in the middle of a KKK posse. An ass-kicking ensues, until there's just one shotgun-toting thug left... then the original Mr. Terrific makes his entrance by throwing some coals on the guy, setting him on fire.

** [[spoiler: Sand's]] heroic sacrifice to hold he Earth together.

* [[spoiler: The second Hourman]] sacrifices himself in the place of [[spoiler: the first (while the third, his son, tries to make his own sacrifice)]].

** In the same arc, Alan Scott returning to the GreenLantern name and ending the shadow threat, saving his son in the process.

* Let's be honest. Any fight scene written by Geoff Johns, if it involves a speaking role for Hawkman, against ''any'' villain more dangerous than a mugger, should be at least considered for CrowningMomentOfAwesome.

** The ''end'' of the character, however, had him sacrificing his life to save an entire nation from the AnthropomorphicPersonification of the Wrath of God. His friends then attempt Franchise/{{Godzilla}}-grade defibrillation. The entire scene was so badass that even Per Degaton, one of the team's most ardent foes, had to give them their due.

* In the ''ComicBook/UnderworldUnleashed'' crossover, Alan Scott's wife sold her soul for youth. He entered Hell to retrieve it, and in the process, exorcised some of the souls in the Forest of Suicide. It works like this: his old enemy Blackbriar Thorn controlled those souls, who are transformed into trees by their sin. Scott saves said souls by ''refusing'' to break out of their embrace, despite no longer having a weakness to wood, as doing so would be like tearing their arms out. The fact someone still ''cares'' about them, even in that position, is enough for the spirits to be freed.

* Nathan Heywood's second issue, in which he gains his superpowers by saving his few remaining relatives from a metal villain by stabbing him in the throat. With a broken crutch. [[TalikingIsAFreeAction Mid-gloat]].

* The second Hourman sacrifices himself in the place of the first (while the third, his son, tries to make his own sacrifice).

* During the Princes of Darkness arc, Stargirl and Billy Batson find the dying body of Alan Scott. They encounter [[{{Starman}} the Shade]], who is somewhat reluctant to help. Stargirl (a teenage girl with no powers outside of an energy belt and energy staff) browbeats the Shade (one of the most powerful and longest-lasting DC villains) into helping them out. He's clearly impressed.
