2

4* [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/1p18 Using a soda machine as a makeshift smoke bomb.]]
5* Doc's [[DeathIsCheap return from death's door]] in the second part of DARE.
6* [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/10p47 How]] [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/10p48 about]] [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/10p49 this?]] (This is three pages just linked like this for your convenience.)
7* [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/8p33 This comic]] and the next six that follow it.
8* [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/8p22 "Yeah. Bite me. Bite my arm. I just ripped your jaw muscles from your skull. Bite me. I severed your spinal cord too. Bite me. Uh huh. Yeah."]]
9* [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/15p70 Suck it Frodo!]]

16* [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/2p40 "We are on eastern pain time, and it is Dan o'clock."]]
17* Remember that thing about Dan [[ChekhovsSkill lighting himself on fire]]? [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/11p25 Yeah.]] ''Laughing.''
18* [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/2p43 The end of the McNinja Family versus the pirates]]:
19--> ''(After Mitzi [=McNinja=] has just blown up a pirate ship)''\
20'''Dr. [=McNinja=]''': Hey, nice one, Mom, my sword was still on board.\
21'''Sean "Dark Smoke Puncher" [=McNinja=]''': And probably mad pirate loot, too!\
22''(Dr. [=McNinja's=] sword falls back into his hand, while Dark Smoke Puncher gets walloped by a falling pirate treasure chest)''\
23'''Mitzi [=McNinja=]''': What is your mother's expertise?\
24'''Dr. [=McNinja=]''': Pickled beets.\
25'''Mitzi''': ''And''?!\
26'''Dr. [=McNinja=]''': Precisely aimed demolitions.
27* How badass is Dr. [=McNinja=]? So badass, that [[BadassBoast the problem with a gun is you have to point it where you want to send the bullets]], and ''[[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/5p44/ he can see that]]''.
28* A mobster with a swordfish through his chest threatens the good Doctor with a gun if he doesn't treat his...."condition." The Doc's response? [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/13p14 Casually disarm him without even being SEEN.]]
29* Anything that Martin Monster does [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/13p38 after this part]], which doubles as somewhat [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments heartwarming]].
30* Agent Bearclaw's status as an AscendedExtra is solidified with his re-entrance to the series: [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/14p7 Taking down]] Judy and Yoshi single-handedly (literally in Yoshi's case), even if his role seems to be quite short.
31* The dolphins get one when they save Bearclaw and carry him to an island, and then [[KarmicDeath shoot him]].
32* The titular doctor casually [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/14p24 punching out a birdosaur]] as he walks along. Not one minute ''after'' [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/14p23 flying a jet through a hurricane, a barrage of anti-air missiles, and birdosaur attacks.]]
33* [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/14p38 "Hello? Ninja?"]]
34* [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/14p53 This page]] is what happens when someone tells the doctor "All Perish Here".
35* The [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/11p26 real Knife Eye Attack.]]
36* His [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/8p6 eulogy]] for the Benjamin Franklin clone. What's best is that the comic built up naturally to this point: "Benjamin Franklin II was killed by the very thing he was trying to stop . . . death. He was a, um, clone. And he was not as famous as his first version . . . But he was still a great man. Our city was lucky to host him in his final days so . . . so suck on that Philadelphia."
37* Epic motorcycle skills. ''[[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/15p26 "What"]]''
38* It says something about this comic when [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/15p27 Doctor McNinja smacking a guy in the head with a motorcycle]] is treated as so commonplace it only gets one panel. And no one bothers mentioning the child-bandito riding a velociraptor fighing Mafiosos on the back of a speeding train.
39* [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/15p29/ "Man... is only separated from Heaven by that which he will not ramp."]]
40** King Radical delivers his [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/15p51 own version]] via backflipping off his bike and sending it flying at the face of Blizzardbeard the Frost Wizard (really Dark Smoke Puncher).
41* [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/15p34 Boom.]]
42* Dan [=McNinja=] can eat poisoned foods at will. [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/9p30 He sucks the poison out and stores it in his eyes.]] [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/11p11 So he can shoot it later like a TOAD.]]
43* [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/2p30 Peg faces]] [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/5p14 for]] [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/5p15 everyone]]!
44* [[http://drmcninja.com/newreaders.php Here's a Top 10 made by the author.]]
45* Dark Smoke Puncher [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/17p38 exploding an air pirate's head with logic.]]
46* [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/17p48 Mongo the uber-ninja throws a grappling hook onto a passing jumbo jet, and uses that to swing into the cab of an 18-wheeler and throw out the driver.]]
47* Taking out a NASA Ghost while building up the nerve by [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/20p66/ humming the theme]] [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/20p67/ to Ghostbusters.]]
48-->'''Dr. McNinja''': ''(lands the killing blow)'' '''''[[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/20p68/ I AIN'T AFRAID OF NO GHOSTS!]]'''''
49* [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/2p33 YO HO, MOTHER-HE SAID A BAD WORD!]]
50* [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/8p15 "Aren't you lucky you live in the only town in the world prepared for a zombie invasion."]]
51-->'''Gordito''': That's awesome! Seriously? There's, like, a zombie defense system?\
52'''Dr. [=McNinja=]''': (while pulling out a pair of shotguns) Yeah. '''It's us.'''
53** [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/8p28 Another gem from that story:]]
54--->'''Gordito''': Oh noooo! We left Yoshi behind! Are dinosaurs immune to zombies?
55--->'''Dr. [=McNinja=]''': Uhmm... ''YES.''
56--->(Cue shot of Yoshi scaring several zombies shitless)
57* [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/17p52 Judy (the gorilla) chasing off an Uber-ninja by wielding a rocket launcher?]] The greatest mathematical equation ever.
58* From Gordito: [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/20p21 "Don't."]]
59* Doc wasn't understating when he called Gordito the Effing Badass Kid:
60-->'''Gordito:''' You left me on the ship. I took out every single member of the crew individually until I was the only one left.
61* The AltText of [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/20p20 this strip]] says it all:
62--> I had a really hard time writing this page until I just decided to draw some dinosaurs with jet packs and guns.
63* [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/10p25 Mitzi can taste your lies.]].
64* [[UnsoundEffect SICK]][[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/15p6/ NASTY]]!
65* Doc taps his own personal ThemeMusicPowerup by humming [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/20p67 the Ghostbusters theme]]. Then, [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/20p68 "I AIN'T AFRAID OF NO GHOSTS!"]]
66** And since that wasn't enough awesome, [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/20p69 the grand finale]] reminds us why you don't screw with a highly-trained ninja.
67* Probably commonplace, given all the awesomeness scattered through the comic, but... the Doctor, armed to the teeth, takes on [[InverseNinjaLaw an army]]. [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/5p30 He's a ninja]]. So are they. [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/5p35 It is awesome]].
68* [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/21p23 "Kite."]]
69** [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/21p25 "Skiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilllls."]]
70* [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/17p36 "Would you believe you've got the wrong guy?" "No." "Pity. It's true."]]
71* In the BadFuture, Gordito mentions that [[BadassFamily Dan and Mitzi McNinja]] [[DyingMomentOfAwesome went out "spectacularly".]] [[http://drmcninja.com/comics/2011-06-17-21p46.jpg He wasn't]] [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/21p46/ kidding.]]
72* The Doc brings in some [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/21p56/ old 'friends' to help deal with the dinosaur problem.]]
73** Only in this webcomic does [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/21p57/ Paul Bunyan punching out a T-Rex make so much sense.]]
74* The Nasaghast is back [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/21p66/ with a vengeance.]] And it's killing the second horrorsaurus [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/21p92/ with a vengeance.]]
75* One word: '''[[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/21p80-2/ Yoshi!]]'''
76* Chuck finally grabs a gun... and is stabbed through the chest. Nasaghast attacks. Gory and glory[[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/21p91/]].
77* The McNinja reunion tour continues. First part of his plan was bringing back the Paul Bunyan disease patients to fight the dinosaurs. The second part? [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/21p94/ Calling upon Dracula to break the shield holding the Ultimate Diplomat]] with his [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/11p15/ Moon]][[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/11p16/ Laser.]] [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/21p95/ At first it looks like it isn't working,]] [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/21p96/ but then...]] As if that wasn't cool enough, both [=McNinjas=] pull off an [[UnflinchingWalk Unflinching Stand]].
78* "Hey Sean! It's me! Your brother! I'm alive!...[[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/21p106/ Whatcha doin?"]] While we're at it that spoilered bit is another great UnflinchingWalk.
79* The Ultimate Diplomat pulls one off with [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/21p97/ his very first sentence.]]
80* "I don't '''believe''' in [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/23p35/ mimes!]]
81* [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/23p29/ Dr. McLuchador's]] [[RefugeInAudacity methods of medicine]].
82--> [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/23p37/ "Shh... I prefer spiders not to know my name."]]
83* [[BigEntrance ENO]][[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/23p39/ UGH!]]
84* [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/23p72/ Dan McNinja has no time for your delicate procedures.]]
85* [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/23p88/ Dark Smoke Puncher knows how to deal with eldritch horrors.]]
86* Genuine Egyptian Mummy who can easily curse highly-skilled ninja? [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/25p41/ Not a problem for KING RADICAL.]]
87** Well... [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/25p46/ maybe a slight problem]]
88* Two words, [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/25p93/ DUBSTEP. QUARTET.]] Yes, [[CrazyIsCool King Radical weaponized dubstep.]]
89* Although it's just be an April Fools joke, but [[http://drmcninja.com/comics/2013-04-01-25p96.jpg this]] page is probably the best one ever. Even the author admits on the next page's alt text that he wish it were canon.
90* [[InstantAwesomeJustAddMecha Behold!]] [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/25p98 HOUSE BOT]]
91* In-Story, King Radical has to pull off ridiculously epic Moments Of Awesome to fuel his ritual.
92* [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/26p5/ MY FIRST ACT AS KING IS KICKING YOUR ASS]]
93* A subtle one as Dan McNinja [[http://drmcninja.com/comics/2013-07-04-26p19.jpg negotiates the price to hack House Bot]]: He says he'd like to control a giant robot before he dies, even though his first reaction to HB was to have Sean [[http://drmcninja.com/comics/2013-04-22-25p104.jpg hack it.]] The president than offers the "exact right amount of dollars to give up that dream". Dan just tricked the President into paying ''way'' more than what she was planning to originally.
94* [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/26p43/ Ron creates another mech made of military vehicles.]]
95* [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/25p89/ Oh I will definitely fight]][[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/25p90/ my clone and my ex]][[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/25p91/ at the same time.]] [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/25p111/ I do not]][[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/25p112/ give a]] [[GoshDarnItToHeck flip]]
96* Gordito hits Hortense ''twice'', the second time being moments after she kicked [[http://drmcninja.com/comics/2013-10-16-26p57.jpg him across the room]]. [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/26p57/ And again.]] [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/26p58/ And again.]]
97* Chuck Goodrich defeats one of King Radical's mooks by [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/26p61/ tricking him into be mauled by a snake]]!
98* Archibald's Mummy friend of all people, [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/26p64/ saves the day]] by helping Gordito deactivate the Radbot.
99* [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/26p75/ "Dude."]] The revelation of that one panel turns Chuck into one of the most awesome characters ''ever''.
100* [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/28p33/ Greetings from the future you son of a bitch!]]
101* John [=McNinja=] apparently managed to trick the entire population of Atlantis into leaving so he could enjoy a vacation there without being bothered by fish people.
102** John McNinja has no need to hum the Ghostbusters theme to fight ghosts. He just says OM and goes to work.
103* The latest version of Chuck is an even more hardcore badass than the last one. His reaction to an attack by banditos riding velociraptors?
104-->[[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/30p17/ "I'm a time traveller.]] [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/30p18/ I can handle weird stuff."]]
105* Frans Rayner makes his return to the storyline. How? By kicking a ladder in half, causing the guy on top to fall off, complete with a BondOneLiner.
106* [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/30p40/ EXECUTIVE POWER.]]
107* The [[WhamEpisode unexpected]] and yet completely awesome return of one of the strip's most popular characters is marked with their trademark phrase: "[[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/30p54/ Radical.]]"
108* [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/31p29/ "I got out."]]
109* We finally see Sparklord in action, in their true form. Moments after arriving, they immediately fly into space and throw King Radical's space ship off course, and vaporize a Nasaghast. All in a matter of seconds.
110* While sneaking into Radical's base, Doc tries to pick a lock with a hairpin, but it snaps. After a brief panic, he remembers that he is not only a ninja, [[CallBack but also a doctor,]] and proceeds to kick the door down along with most of the wall.
111* Doc and Old fighting a literal army, which is made up of both humans and radical folk armed with laser guns, with fairly little effort.
112--> '''Doc:''' If it's a trap to make us do that...
113--> (Old McNinja cracks open the door and looks through it)
114--> '''Old:''' It's an army waiting to kill us.
115--> '''Doc:''' Okay. Okay good.
116* Doc and Radical finally go at it one-on-one. Radical puts up a good fight, but it's clear that the gauntlet preceding their battle [[WorfHadTheFlu wore Doc down first.]] If Doc had got to him right away, the comic would be over.
117** Radical attacks with a chainsaw, shattering Doc's sword and mocking him for it. Doc fires back, jamming the chain with what's left of the sword, [[AwesomeButImpractical and mocking Radical right back for trying to use a woodcutting tool as a weapon.]]
118*** To which Radical responds by ''smacking Doc with the back of the chainsaw.''
119* Rayner holds the McNinja's at gunpoint, taunting that he is going to force them to watch Radical kill their son. He switches on the screen, immediately showing Doc punching Radical hard in the face. The look on Rayner's face is ''beautiful.''
120-->'''Dan:''' Well that's poetic.
121* In the big finish, [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/33p116/ Dracula is]] [[GrievousHarmWithABody weaponized.]] This causes Radical to become a vampire, then Doc weaponizes ''[[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/33p119/ Pope Francis]]'', throwing him at Radical and causing him to [[HolyBurnsEvil explode]]. Lampshaded by Radical himself in his last words. [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/33p120/ See it yourself.]]
122--> '''King Radical:''' [[OhCrap No.]] [[GreatWayToGo Wait. Yes.]] [[DyingMomentOfAwesome This will be so]] [[KilledMidSentence ra--]]
123* Doc cheats death a second time after Rayner bombs the warehouse. With a few cuts to Purgatory where Death greets him as Patrick and he sits with Ben Franklin II (Actually [[RedHerring Old, who is the doctor's clone]]), Rayner defies NeverFoundTheBody by getting his men to find the corpse so he can give it a good kick. A body is found dressed in the doctor's clothes, and Rayner takes the mask off for a final humiliation to show the world the true face of Doctor Patrick [=McNinja=] - but it's just a random bearded guard. Cue [=McNinja=] making a run for the pyramid White House across shallow water, clad in a guard uniform.
124* Sean [=McNinja=] finally gets one: [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/33p135/ sick hack complete]]
125* Ha Ha Ha Ha [[NeckSnap *snap*]] [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/33p138/ Ninjas win]].
