* This story featured immediately after the Green Arrow/Black Canary engagement and marriage storyline, where [[spoiler: it is revealed that the Green Arrow that attempted to kill Canary on their wedding night was Everyman in disguise, and Canary, Speedy, and Connor Hawke have just rescued the real Arrow from Themyscera]]. As they are leaving the island, a single sniper shot seems to come from thin air (There is a panel of the bullet and it is actually emerging from clear sky) and hits Connor Hawke, Green Arrows son. They only have basic first aid equipment on their boat, nothing to deal with a fatal sniper wound, so Arrow just looks to the sky and screams for Clark.[[note]]Clark hears him and dramatically swoops in to save the wounded, flying him to a hospital and proper medical care...and is ''too late!'' Connor had lost too much blood, been depirved of air past the point of no return, and though his heart beats and his lungs breathe, his brain-damaged coma can not be fixed. Period.[[/note]] The story has a downer ending, but consider the beginning. You've got a friend who can hear every voice in the world at the same time. A friend who, at any moment, could be anywhere acting to save lives or prevent a catastrophe. And yet you know... you KNOW... that in your moment of need, he'll be there. No doubt, no question... HE WILL COME.

* One of the earlier issues in the Green Arrow/Black Canary series. It involves someone being hurt, dying and someone cradling him and trying everything but there's nothing to do and he's far away and when there's no way left he just raises his head and shouts "CLARK!"

* From ''ComicBook/BoosterGold'''s own series, the #1,000,000 issue; Booster has attempted to use his time-travelling mission to save the life of Ted Kord, the former BlueBeetle and his best friend; Ted, however, [[HeroicSacrifice heroically sacrificed]] himself to stop a BigBad, reverting things to the way they were. As a result, Booster is embittered, seeing his life as worthless and meaningless; he makes all these sacrifices, but no one will ever know. Then, he encounters Batman, who reveals that he's discovered that on a previous mission, Booster attempted to prevent Barbara Gordon's paralysis at the hands of the Joker, suffering greatly as a result. Batman then offers to act as a confidante to Booster; whilst he acknowledges that they'll never be close and that Batman will never be Ted Kord, he will at least be there for Booster should Booster needs it.

* It's not popular, but the 1980s ''ComicBook/{{Shazam}}: The New Beginning'' had one of the great moments of the character. Billy, having run away from his villainous guardian, Dr. Sivana, only to find that his Uncle Dudley is out of town, runs through the street in despair until he meets the mysterious stranger who takes him to the wizard. The heartwarming moment is right after that meeting when the wizard Shazam bestows the Captain Marvel power on Billy, only to have the boy find himself outside the closed subway entrance as if nothing had happened. Billy, desperate for the power to defend himself against Sivana, calls out to the wizard for help only to have no reply. In utter despair, Billy wails "Can't you hear me, SHAZAM?!" With that, * KRAKOOOM* the magic lightning hits Billy to change him into the Captain as he realized that this was no dream, it was real and he truly has the power of Shazam!
** There was a more recent Shazam series which involved Superman figuring out Billy's identity as a homeless kid, and deciding he needs some mentoring. He goes to visit him as Clark, opens his coat and shirt, and then quietly sits down. "I'm Clark..."
** That same story, "First Thunder" had one of Billy's friends murdered in front of him and Billy starting to go into a DespairEventHorizon while still being Marvel. When Superman confronts him, Billy reverts back to normal and Superman sees that the hero who could give him a run for his money in a fair fight, and more importantly is a valuable ally to fight magical enemies that could stomp him with a shrug, was just a young boy who lost his friend. Supes then proves himself to be truly selfless and confronts Shazam for recruiting Billy in the first place.
