| 1 | * Mister Miracle #7 has one of the more romantic (and badass) Kirby moments, when Scott decides to return to face Granny Goodness, and tells Barda to not to follow: |
| 2 | --> '''Barda:''' No deal, Mister Miracle! We'll go down that old shark's mouth ''together''!! - then I'll beat her to death from the inside!! |
| 3 | ** Bonus points for Barda being loosely based on Kirby's wife. |
| 4 | * The [[AllLovingHero Forever People]] are this in a way - Kirby, the cigar-chomping WWII infantry vet who grew up on some mean streets, looked at the hippie kids in 1970 and went, "Yeah, the kids ''are'' alright.'' |
| 5 | ** One issue of the original series showed similar sentiments where Kirby portrayed a supposedly cowardly conscientious objector as the real hero of the story while his war veteran of a father is a GloryHound {{Jerkass}} that freezes up when faced with an actual fight. Granted, the objector dies to save his family and the situation is nothing short of tragic, but Kirby's message is pretty clear. |
| 6 | * When Orion [[DramaticUnmask unmasks]] himself to Bekka for the first time, he expects her to reject him for being hideous. But she's seen his heroic heart, and that's all that matters. Orion hugs her in relief. |
| 7 | ** Similarly, an issue from the original series has Orion's face accidentally exposed during a fight with Kalibak. Lightray tries to downplay it but Orion's beyond pissed about the reveal and tells Lightray to get it all out. Lightray simply replies "I saw '''scars'''---both new and old---taken in the cause of '''New Genesis!'''" Orion responds that [[TrueCompanions Lightray is a good friend]]. |
