* In Issue 168, Wynn orders a couple of his men to kill a drunk man he met in a bar, all while gloating to them that they can't kill him, because of his "insurance," which would bring about the collapse of civilization. Then his men's skulls burn with green fire from the inside out. In comes Spawn, breathing said green fire. The following issue reveals that Spawn [[KickTheSonOfABitch destroyed his insurance and left him to die]]. It's especially awesome since Spawn had made it clear a few pages prior that he has no interest in protecting the world anymore.

* The storyline in the mid-60's of the series, where Spawn retaliates to Clown's kidnapping Cyan by tracking him down and basically ripping him to pieces; the Clown doesn't get a ''chance'' to turn into the Violator, and ends up with his head impaled on a pole in the alley. Spawn then proceeds to assault Jason Wynn's tower, disguising himself as a guard and infiltrating the man's own bedroom to show him just how 'untouchable' he really is.

* The entirety of Spawn Armageddon, which was a return to form for Al Simmons. Highlights include saving his father from hell's forces, taking on various new demons with his God-forged sword, and best of all, ''nuking'' hell. The explosion hit so hard Satan hasn't been seen since.

!!The film:
* The Clown finally getting serious during the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKV2k-SOk8Q movie]].

-->'''Clown:''' No more clowning around! I am not The Vindicator, or The Victimizer, or The Vaporizer, or The Vibrator! I am, '''THE VIOLATOR!''' (''transforms'')

!!The western animation:
* Season 1, Episode 6. Spawn gets one when he surfs on the antagonist's van, Clown gets one with this line:
-->'''Clown''': You assholes, that wasn't in the goddamn script!
* Clown gets another one when he reveals his true nature. Up until this point, he's been an obnoxious, trash-talking sidekick, but Spawn finally pushes him one step too far, and he announces "you don't know who you're dealin' with... but it's time you found out". Everyone who knew the comic book knew what was coming, and it didn't disappoint: he gruesomely changes into Violator, and ''everything'' about his mannerisms changes. Now he speaks telepathically in a much more formal, darker tone that's almost totally devoid of humor (starting with the ominous line "now begins your training"), while laying down not only Spawn's first defeat in a fight, but a CurbStompBattle at that. And the original HBO broadcast went one step further than the DVD's. Initially, his voice was a constantly shifting VoiceOfTheLegion with both male and female elements; it practically required closed captioning to make out, but it really, really made Violator feel completely non-human. They switched to a more hissing, decipherable voice in reruns and DVD's that lost a little bit of the effect, but either way, it was the perfect demonstration that Clown's really, really {{Not So Harmless|Villain}} after all.
* Shortly afterwards, we have Spawn's utter wtfpwnage of Overkill and Tony Twist. After a brutal battle where Overkill solidly defeats Spawn (but not without getting a piece of rebar [[EyeScream right through his artificial eye]]), Overkill is being repaired... cue Spawn interrupting. Shortly after, Spawn pays Tony Twist, Overkill's boss, a visit and lets loose a bag full of Overkill's severed limbs and part of his face, followed by shooting Twist's goons in the legs and [[OhCrap making Twist shit himself.]]
** As if that's not awesome enough, we're also treated to Creator/KeithDavid giving one of the most badass threats ever put to television.
--->'''Spawn:''' As of now, you work for me. And your job is very simple. ''Give me my space.'' Understand? All I want is a little peace and quiet. Got it, fat boy?\\
'''Tony:''' Yes...\\
'''Spawn:''' ''Say it.''\\
'''Tony:''' I work for you... and you want your peace and quiet.\\
'''Spawn:''' And who am I?\\
'''Tony:''' I don't know!\\
'''Spawn:''' That's right. You ''don't'' know. [[NothingIsScarier Let that little mystery keep you up at night.]]
