History Awesome / KingdomCome

* Superman's initial return. There's something that just screams 'Hell yeah! Awesome!' when a blur of blue and red comes to stop some psychotic anti-heroes from killing everyone. The best part of that scene is that between the blur and the actual sighting of Superman, we see a crowd of ordinary people whose expression of shock gradually changes to an exultant, jubilant joy, as they turn their faces towards the sky and [=McCay=] states the simple reason: "We knew... We ''remembered''."

** Props must be given to Superman. During the entirety of the battle between the two, he kept on trying to make Billy snap out of his brainwashing. Despite being struck repeatedly with Shazam's [[KryptoniteFactor magical]] lightning bolts, [[TheDeterminator he powered through the bolts despite bleeding out of his nose and ears,]] all to get closer to him. Finally, with his SuperSpeed, he quickly put his hand over Billy's mouth right as he uttered his magic word. With that single move, it's all over. Despite the simplicity of the single move, it's undeniably awesome. Best described by the quote below.

** In a cross between [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments Awesome]] and [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments Heartwarming]], Superman finally made Billy see through his brainwashing through words alone.

* When Batman and his allies capture the MLF, the aged Selina Kyle socks Tula and almost gets away.

* Scott Free immediately knowing what is about to happen, and tells his daughter to summon a Boom Tube. A second of hesitation, he activates it ''for'' her, essentially saying, "I mean '''now'''." They enter the Boom Tube just as the nuclear blast singes the end of the Tube as they leave. His daughter asks how in the world he know. Barda's response: "He ''always'' knows."

* Norm even [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu tells the Spectre off]] when he finds out that he's not going to stop the coming Armageddon, and when the Spectre challenges him, he firmly gives an answer the angel has no answer for.

-->'''Norman:''' I'm not a pushover. I'm not a slave. I'm not an angel encumbered with divine imperatives. I'm not some [[Creator/CharlesDickens Dickensian]] clown you can intimidate with Victorian guilt. And I'm not biting. Home, please. I quit.//

* [[spoiler: Magog's]] CharacterDevelopment. At the end, he's smacking Swastika upside his head when he fails to show respect for Diana and the ceremony at Paradise Island. According to the {{Novelization}}, he becomes a Dean of Students there.
** This one is particularly amazing because it takes place almost entirely in the distant background of a big fight scene in which the reader is probably not looking at [[spoiler:Magog]]. And in this huge battle, what is [[spoiler:Magog, until then the most "anti" of all the {{Nineties Anti Hero}}es]], doing? Not fighting at all. In fact, he ''saves'' half the people who end up surviving the fight. Like a true hero.

* When [[spoiler:Batman and his allies capture the MLF]], the aged Selina Kyle socks Tula and almost gets away.

* Atom Smasher telling Marvin to "[[BigShutUp SHUT UP!]]" and sucker-punch him for disrespecting Superman.

-->'''Luthor''': HE WILL NOT ''TOUCH'' ME! '''HE WILL ''NOT!'''''... he... He ''cannot.''

--->'''Norm:''' Farewell? '''[[WhatTheHellHero Farewell?!]]''' You think you brought me all this way just to watch people die? '''Think again!''' You want to confront evil? Then get us the hell to the UN... ''now''! You saw Superman! You saw an anger that could ''twist steel''! If what happens next happens the only way it can... '''and you let it... ''that'' is evil!'''

* The Bar Scene: ComicBook/TheQuestion talking to [[CaptainErsatz Ror]][[ComicBook/{{Watchmen}} schach]] in the background.

** This scene truly is amazing. Norman ]=McCay=], an elderly preacher with no powers or skills of any sort, talks down an enraged Superman (who is also implied to be even MORE powerful than in his youth) who is going full RROD. This is, of course, after effectively flipping the bird to and lecturing the '''embodiment of God's Wrath''' on morality.
