History TearJerker / FlashPoint

* For people getting bullied or were bullied in high school, ''Perfect Storm'' can be very gut-wrenching.

* In "Severed Ties", the mother got through her prison sentence believing she'd get her daughters back once she was out and could provide a stable home, only to be told that her children were adopted out because she didn't have anyone to keep them for her and the state didn't want to just hold the kids in foster care indefinitely. It's probably to the children's benefit that they were allowed to be adopted, but it's still heartbreaking for the mother, and, making matters worse, they didn't even tell the mother right away (which would have given her a chance to process it); instead, they let her go on believing she'd get them back for ''years'' after that was no longer the case, and then sprung the truth on her right as she was preparing for the expected reunion. They didn't even bother telling her that they hadn't been sending the children the letters she was writing to them.

!Tearjerkers for the comic book ''Comicbook/{{Flashpoint}}'':

* ''Project: Superman'':
** Subject 2. [[spoiler: Poor Krypto]].
** After Kal-El and Lois Lane meet as children in ''Project: Superman'' #2, and after General Sam Lane and Subject Zero are sent into the Phantom Zone, General Adam puts Kal in a tiny cell and basically tells him that he has to agree to be a living weapon or he will be kept there forever. As if that weren't heartwrenching enough, the final scene of the issue is Kal-El carving a little scribble of Lois into the cell wall with his heat vision, knowing very well he will never see her again. [[spoiler:And when he actually does, years later, she dies in his arms]].
* Dick Grayson [[spoiler:losing his mother, then his father, in the aftermath of an Amazon strike-force sent to get the Helmet Of Nabu.]]
* ''Batman: Knight of Vengeance'':
** The entire dynamic between Batman and the Joker is chilling and tragic. [[spoiler:Both parents survived the shooting, but young Bruce didn’t, and Thomas, as Batman, has to fight his own wife, who went mad and became the Joker after Bruce's death. This probably goes a long way toward explaining Thomas' brutality]].
** Batman asking the Joker whether he should help the Flash rewrite their timeline and restore the true one. [[spoiler:Thomas Wayne is asking his wife whether they should sacrifice their lives to save their son. In a touching and intimate moment, where Martha acts temporarily sane, she agrees. But when Thomas has to admit to Martha that Bruce will become Batman, she runs off crying and screaming while Thomas is trying to catch her. She throws herself into the Batcave to die in the fall because she can't live with that knowledge]].
* To restore the timeline, Barry [[spoiler:must let his mother die again]].
* Barry taking a letter from Bruce's father to Bruce in the 'normal' timeline. While Bruce is initially dressed in full costume, he takes the cowl off and reads the letter as Bruce, not Batman.
* ComicBook/BoosterGold [[spoiler:losing his memory of [[LoveInterest Alexandra]] when the timeline is restored]].
* The end of Kid Flash Lost. [[spoiler:Bart makes the ultimate sacrifice, and no one will ever know that he did]].

** [[spoiler: Donna's HeroicSacrifice death]] at the end of the first part of the finale. [[spoiler: She and other Team Three members are violently killed in yet another explosion when they discover the teacher with the explosions was used as a patsy.]]

It's probably to the children's benefit that they were allowed to be adopted, but instead of telling the mother the truth right away, they let her go on believing the whole time she was in prison and then sprung it on her right as she was preparing for the expected reunion.

* In "Severed Ties" while in the end it was probably the best for her and her children because of the mother's mental health and the children have little to no memories of her thus don't have a real bond with her anymore and are happier with their adopted families, all the mother wanted is to be is reunited with her children so they can be a family again as she has been under the erroneous assumption that if she cleaned up her act, get herself out of jail and start living a decent life she would be allowed to be reunited with her children only to be told that is not the case as her children were placed in foster care and eventually were adopted as it was unknown how long she would be in jail and she had no one in her life that can take them in while she serves her jail sentence. Even any attempts of her communicating with her children while she was in jail were never sent to them as it was believed it was for the best that the children had not more ties to her which made her go mad and kidnapped them in order to be a family again.

When it becomes clear that any attempt to rescue him would most likely endanger the life of another officer, [[spoiler: he waits until Spike has walked away try to get more equipment for an attempt everyone thinks is risky and steps off the landmine]].
** The reaction of the team made it a hundred times worse. The image of [[spoiler: Parker cradling a crying Spike]] was just heartwrenching to see.
*** Not to mention [[spoiler: the slow-motion close-up of Spike's face as the land mine goes off. Startled, then confused, then slowly fading into pure anguish.]]
