4	* The two-part series is one long SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome. As it should be.
5	* Krypto vs. Kryptonite Man. In spite of the kryptonite radiation being lethal to him and the Kryptonite Man pointing out to Krypto that he's dying, Krypto isn't deterred in the slightest and goes right on finishing off the villain even as his own life is nearing its end. That is one badass dog. It's also his DyingMomentOfAwesome.
6	-->'''Kryptonite Man:''' I'm ''killing'' you, you stupid ''animal''! Don't you ''understand''? I'm killing yaaaaa-\
7	'''Krypto:''' [[ShutUpHannibal SNOPF]]
8	* Superman stops an army of Metallos attacking the Daily Planet.
9	* "You hurt '''''LANA'''?!''"
10	* Clark's last action as Superman is to kill Mister Mxyzptlk with the PhantomZone projector.
11	* After exposing Superman's SecretIdentity on live television AND killing Pete Ross, the Toyman and Prankster [[BullyingADragon continue to mock him via radio.]] Superman's response is shown in the page image.
12	* Lana Lang got to bitch slap Kryptonite Man and make him call for help.
13	-->'''Kryptonite Man:''' ''(assuming the heat-vision is from Superman)'' He's attacking us! I'll...
14	-->'''Lana:''' You'll ''what'', you poisonous little ''crud''? What are you going to do about someone who doesn't give a ''damn'' about kryptonite?
15	* TheReveal of Mr. Mxyzptlk's true form, and his identity as the BigBad.
16	-->'''Mxyzptlk:''' You didn't think a 5th-dimensional sorcerer ''really'' looked like a funny little man in a bowler hat, did you?
17	* Just goddamned '''LANA'''. She overhears Superman confess to Perry White that Lois is the only one who truly holds his heart, and though it tears her up inside, Lana nevertheless gears up and goes forth to face a gang of murderous super-villains, all in the name of love, [[AllLoveIsUnrequited unrequited though it may be]]. Props to ComicBook/JimmyOlsen for doing the same, but for [[HeterosexualLifePartners obviously different reasons]].
18	--> ''"Let's get out there, wreck that '''force screen''', and get him '''out''' of this mess. We're only '''second stringers''', Jimmy, but '''we'll''' show 'em... '''Nobody''' loved him better than '''us'''. '''NOBODY!'''"
19	* ''"It's just...well, if the nuisances from my past are coming back as killers- what happens when the '''killers''' come back?"''\
20	That one line at the beginning of the story let you know that this would be a Superman story more dark and with higher stakes than any before. And it lived up to the promise.
