* "Jimmy Olsen, Boy Editor": Lois sweet talks one of the mooks into letting her see how heavy his machine gun is and swipes it. When the leader claims she doesn't have the guts to shoot somebody even if she knew how to use it properly, she admits he's right. So she empties the gun into the ceiling, then calmly tosses the now useless weapon back to its owner ("It's even lighter with all the bullets gone."). The looks on the villains' faces perfectly capture how wild it is watching ''Lois Lane'' of all people firing a machine gun. She and Jimmy would have been able to walk away unscathed with no Superman rescue necessary if not for a DiabolusExMachina.

* The radio series had a meta crowning moment with the Clan of the Fiery Cross arc, where Superman took on the KKK: armed with real KKK secrets obtained from Stetson Kennedy, it did so much to strip the mystique and perceived "respectability" from the Klan that it managed to seriously reduce the organization's recruitment and derail its then-current rise in popularity.
