1* A few from ''Day of Vengeance'':
2** The Enchantress uses a spell to channel the power of every magical being in the universe and send it to Captain Marvel who then proceeds to pummel the Spectre and make him retreat.
3** Blue Devil managing to injure Eclipso with his trident.
4** Nightshade teleporting Eclipso into the sun's orbit.
5
6* One for [[PsychoRangers the Pentacle]]. In the first three issues of the series, they manage to trap the town of Riverock in a nigh impenetrable dome of blood and successfully incapacitate the Shadowpact. If not for White Rabbit turning on them, [[NearVillainVictory the villains would have won]].
7** From issue 3, we have Detective Chimp curb stomping Karneval while [[TruthInTelevision reminding him that chimps are stronger than humans]]. Chimp is also the only one of the Shadowpact to escape his trap.
8** Enchantress gets two. First, there is her killing White Rabbit after he frees them and then gives a very rational argument in favor of this action; that White Rabbit is too unpredictable to be kept alive. Then there is her revealing that in her battle with Strega she was actually analyzing the other witch's spells to figure out how to counter her magic.
9
10* In issue 8, Blue Devil, Nightshade and Ragman have been blinded after an encounter with the Congregation, a team of KnightTemplar superheroes with [[LightEmUp the power of light]]. The Congregation want to finish off the rest of the Shadowpact and force the blind trio to take them to the Oblivion Bar. What the Congregation don't realize is that the Oblivion Bar exists in its own pocket dimension, meaning their teleportation and telepathic powers don't work in the bar. Not only that, but Ragman's sight has been restored and he proceeds to beat up the Congregation.
11
12* ComicBook/{{Etrigan}}'s CurbStompBattle against the team in issue 9.
13
14* Issue 13 - Kid Carneval's escape from his imprisonment.
15
16* Issue 14 - [[TheBartender Eddie Deacon]] puts a stop to Zauriel and Blue Devil's fight by [[PsychicStrangle telekinetically squeezing their wind pipes]].
17
18* Issue 15 - Dr Gotham shows the extent of his power when he creates a volcano in down-town Chicago. The narration describes it as Pompeii, Krakotoa and Thera all rolled into one. From the same issue, Nightshade manages to teleport several city blocks worth of people and buildings out of the path of the volcano's eruption.
19
20* In issue 16, Enchantress strikes the first real victory against Dr Gotham by jumping into his cloak which houses numerous magical artifacts that he uses to fuel his strength. She proceeds to destroy several of them causing him to retreat.
21
22* Issue 17 has the Shadowpact fighting an army of zombies raised by an evil houngan. The houngan is in a circle of protection to keep enemies out and could drain the magic of anyone who comes into it. How does Enchantress defeat him? By creating a glass dome around him and sucking the air out, killing him.
23
24* Issue 18 has the Enchantress explain to Laura how scientific knowledge is very important in being an effective magician by proposing a hypothetical scenario in which Laura is attacked by a type of werewolf that is immune to most magic.

26-->'''Enchantress''': First, you'd be aware that you're standing on one of the largest silver deposits ever discovered. Second, you'd know how to separate the pure silver from argentine ore in the ground. Third, your basic understanding of ballistics would allow you to form a properly shaped bullet. It would also allow you to provide the proper velocity to embed the bullet in the werewolf's heart before it killed you. You can't manipulate what you don't understand, Laura.
