* Almost every girl gets her Enchantix in a Crowning Moment of Awesome.
** Aisha: Willingly sacrifices her one chance to heal her eyesight and uses the Coral Gem to save Queen Ligea from dying. The next episode, she uses the fairy dust that came with the new form to heal her sight.
** Flora: The Trix fire an attack at Flora, but her little sister Miele jumps in front of her to protect her. Miele gets knocked into the poisoned river. Flora gets angered so much that she creates venus gobblers to swallow the Trix, then dives in the river after her sister and saves her. She not only achieves her Enchantix, but after she appears out of the water, she uses her fairy dust to make the weeping willow grab the Trix and throw them into the river.
*** Miele protecting Flora can also qualify as a CMOA since she's so young.
** Stella: Protects her father from a raging dragon, using so much power that she almost loses her life.
** Tecna: Closes the Omega portal, preventing the destruction of Tides/Andros, but also [[{{HeroicSacrifice}} sacrifices her life in the process]] (a few episodes later, she turns out to be alive).
** Musa: Darcy sets the Alfea library on fire. Princess Galatea of Planet Melody refuses to leave without the important books/scrolls that the Trix were trying to steal, and Musa goes to save her. Galatea tells her to just leave her and save herself, but Musa refuses. It's actually her ''will'' to save Galatea that earns Musa her Enchantix.
** Bloom: Since Bloom was [[LastOfHisKind the last of her kind]], she believed that gaining her Enchantix would be impossible, but while she's training on Pyros, the island of dragons, she is attacked by the Trix. During the fight, she manages to focus all her energy on one point, and manages to gain her Enchantix (although two episodes later, it is revealed that her Enchantix is incomplete since she didn't gain it from sacrifice) and proceeds to defeat the Trix, chasing them off.
* Bloom in S1 E3. Icy is berating Bloom for apparently not having any powers and just when she's about to kill her, Bloom manages to transform into her Winx by believing in herself.
* The final fight in season 1 where Bloom takes on Icy. In one scene, Icy encases Bloom in a spikey ice ball and shatters it on the ground, seemingly killing Bloom. Icy gives an EvilLaugh at her handiwork, but then gets taken by complete surprise when Bloom appears right behind her, laughing humorously before blasting the witch into the lake.
* S4 episode 18, the Specialists try to challenge Diana, the powerful nature fairy who has turned Gardenia into a jungle. However, Nabu is the only one who can actually put up a fight against her, and pretty much ends up having to fight her all by himself after she defeats the other Specialists. While he wasn't able to stop her from kidnapping the Specialists at the end, he didn't get hit by any of her attacks during the fight, and he took down at least two plant monsters she had created.
* In S4 episode 24, Nabu gets two Crowning Moments of Awesome. First, he single-handedly defeats the evil shapeshifter Duman. Then, after the remaining three Wizards of the Black Circle have created a dark abyss that would eventually destroy all the Earth fairies, [[HeroicSacrifice Nabu decides to close the abyss himself. He succeeds, but the dark magic ends up draining all his strength, and he dies shortly afterwards]].
* Season 1, Episode 7. The girls' powers have been temporarily revoked as punishment for sneaking into Cloud Tower. While everyone else in the school (staff and students) is away at a concert, the girls call the boys over to help them clean up (part of their punishment) and afterwards, they throw a party. The Trix, in an attempt to capture the dragon fire, summon a minotaur to crash their party. Despite not having their powers, the girls actually manage to defeat the monster (with a bit of help from the specialists, but the girls do most of the work). [[{{BadassNormal}} Obviously, powers or no powers, the Winx are far from weak!]]
* Roxy gets one in Episode 4x12. After Gantlos injures Artu (her dog), he tells her that he's only a dog and she shouldn't be upset. Roxy is so enraged by this that she unlocks her full fairy form. Then she summons a hoard of mice to ZergRush Gantlos. He does break out and blast her out of the shed but still, it's not bad for a first-time fairy.
* In episode 2x25, as the Winx and Specialists are trying to get to Lord Darkar's lair so they can rescue Bloom, Sky's airship is damaged and he's unable to fly straight. Seeing as Sky is unable to get his ship back into the hangar of the large airship being piloted Riven and Helia, Helia decides to use his laser-string glove to reel Sky's airship into the hangar of the ship while it's still moving. And he succeeds.
* The very first episode, when Bloom's power awakens after Knut grabs her. She may not have done it on purpose, but still, it was pretty awesome.
* Stella also shows herself to be a badass from the moment we first see her in the very first episode, fighting off an ogre and several {{Mook}}s singlehandedly. Even though she ended up needing Bloom's help, it was still cool to be introduced to a character like that.
* Virtually every time Faragonda battles. Especially when she's on her own. That woman can kick some serious butt.
* Tecna having survived in the Omega Dimension. We're talking about what's basically a frozen wasteland that is supposed to be inescapable. In fact, if I remember correctly, she even said she was able to turn ice into food so she could survive.
* The three times Bloom (accidentally) releases the dragon fire in rage. The first time was when Darcy was about to kill Musa, the second time was when Icy had seemingly killed Kiko and the third time was when one of the witches (Icy again, I think) had turned Mirta into a pumpkin. Depending on how you look at it, it could also be seen as heartwarming in that all three times, the trigger was the life of someone she cared about being endangered.
* In S5 E7, Tecna manages to outsmart Darcy's darkness bubble by summoning ''X-ray vision goggles''. As if that isn't cool enough, she hits Darcy perfectly after using the X-ray vision!
** In the same episode, Bloom, Stella and Aisha must face an illusion conjured up by magical shells based on their inner fears in order to learn the location of the Gem of Self-Confidence. Aisha's is an illusion of Nabu, that accuses her of letting him die when she could've saved him. Aisha almost ''immediately'' sees through the illusion, since she knows [[OutOfCharacterAlert the real Nabu never would've said that to her]], and then helps Bloom and Stella deal with their illusions.
* Stella solves the puzzle of the codex near the end of season 2.
* From the first movie, Mirta's reaction when Mandragora and an army of monsters attacked Alfea and one of those had apparently killed a teacher was of ''blasting the monster away and cast a spell of the freakin' Ancient Witches Coven to kill it''. Ok, she didn't get to complete the spell as the teacher was revealed to be alive and destroyed the monster by becoming an elephant and sit on it, but it was still awesome, especially as the other fairies were running away and keeping in mind that in season one a monster like that could give a Specialist a run for his money.
* In the second movie we see Oritel in combat against Darcy and Stormy. With his sword temporarily depowered due the Trix and the Ancient Witches sealing away all positive magic you'd expect him to be at their mercy... And instead, ''they are barely a match to him'' (and he nearly killed Stormy with her own thunder in the first moments of fight). Made even more awesome because he then leaves to chase Icy, and Darcy and Stormy proceed to effortlessly kick the asses of the Specialists (plus a BroughtDownToNormal Nabu, but without Sky) and the [[BroughtDownToNormal depowered]] Winx (minus Bloom).
** Later his sword's power is restored. The Three Ancient Witches' reaction when they see him attacking? OhCrap, and he proceeds to ''fight them to a standstill'', when the Winx with their powers restored were getting their asses kicked ''hard''.
* Pretty much any of the [[TransformationSequence transformation sequences]], but the ones in the movies take the cake.
* Flora and her now-teenage sister Miele battling together. Flora also gets her Bloomix by saving Miele from danger, the same action that she earned her Enchantix through.
* In ''Shrine of the Green Dragon'': The pixies protecting Daphne and the Winx from the Trix, and Piff - the ''baby'' - ultimately saving everyone by reversing the sleeping spell.
* Stella vaporizing the vampires and curing the ''entire town'' of Gardenia with one very powerful attack.
* Bloom gets one in Episode 8 when she chews out Riven for being a total jerk and makes it perfectly clear that she is ''not'' interested in a jerk like him.
* In the first movie, Sky gets one where he removes the Sword of Domino and seemingly died from the curse placed on it since only a "crownless king" could pull it out. However, he had fulfilled the conditions and took Mandragora by surprise by running her through the back with said sword.
** Then in season 5, Sky picks up the Sword of Domino to deflect the Trix's combined attack when they tried to cruelly shatter a frozen Oritel and Miriam for their own sick amusement. And this was while he still had amnesia.
*** Let's talk about the first fight the Winx have with the Trix in Season 5 Episode 2. Last time they fought, they were hardly on equal footing. One Season of not having to deal with them, and the Winx start to wipe the floor with them, and they only get one good hit in on Bloom. Had it not been for Icy calling on Tritannus, they would have actually beaten them in a fair fight.
*** Keep in mind that before, it took several hits to faze the Trix. Bloom, Stella and Musa take out Darcy and Stormy in one hit. Icy is left cocky throughout the entire time, and for once is ''afraid'' when the odds aren't in her favor.
*** Same episode, Aisha fighting Tritannus. She, Flora and Tecna are significantly weaker and slower underwater, and Tritannus goes up in their face. What does Aisha do? Proceed to first [[ShutUpHannibal kick him in the face]] and challenge him to a one-on-one fight. Not a magic fight, a staff on trident fight. Take note that this is the first time any of the Winx have gone hand to hand or done melee combat with an enemy. While it didn't last as long, she did manage to put up a fight, and today, though the Season is divisive, she remains the only one to have gone hand to hand with an enemy, the BigBad in this case, and the ''only'' BigBad to date.
* In season 5, Sky managed to [[CarFu ram Icy while riding his wind rider]] to knock her out of the air.
* Season 6 episode 23: [[SlapSlapKiss Musa and Riven]] ''[[RomanticPlotTumor finally]]'' break up.
* [[DemotedToExtra Roxy]] ''finally'' being able to transform again in season 7.
* The Trix are formidable villains, but they have two moments that show just how formidable they are:
** It's said it's impossible to take away by force the Dragon's Flame, and it was shown multiple times. [[BeyondTheImpossible The Trix did just that]], and they did it in ''season one''.
** After their defeat in season one, the Trix were locked in Lightrock monastery to get reformed-or rather, as it's shown, [[GettingSmiliesPaintedOnYourSoul having all their negative emotions forcefully suppressed]]. It was supposed to be a quick affair, with them coming out "good" by the time school at Alfea and Cloudtower was back in session... Except not only they were still resisting when Darkar sprung them out, ''they had become more evil just to spite the guards''.
* Bloomix itself can be a badass power on its own: not only does it come from the power of the Dragon Flame itself, it prevents anyone having it from ever losing their powers in any possible way. Once the Winx all obtain it, they become so powerful the Trix have to rely on the Legendarium and magical tricks to oppose the Winx.
** Like Enchantix, the way Bloomix is earned can also count as awesome, as it requires to make a heroic act worthy of a real fairy. Made even more awesome that, minus Bloom (whose powers were depleted), none of them could rely on magic and had to rely on their skills and bravery to fight the dangers.
*** Flora had it the same way she got her Enchantix: by saving Miele's life.
*** Stella and Aisha obtain theirs by trusting each other on pulling a risky backflip (keep in mind they were jumping from quite a height, something even more difficult and requiring more flips than the training Stella fumbled had), turning their enemies' powers against them and living to tell the tale.
*** Tecna and Musa also got theirs by working out their differences and baiting the Pandemonium Sprites away in a Pied Piper-esque manner through the use of instruments. Once they got the sprites trapped in a place where they'd be vulnerable to Musa's voice, Tecna instructs her to sing and it's enough to beat the creatures and earn their Bloomix.
*** Bloom entered the Vortex of Flames and fought a multi-headed dragon living underneath the castle. Keep in mind the Vortex of Flames' trial by fire was discontinued because it became too dangerous even for previous bearers of the Dragon Flame. Meaning Bloom, even with a great part of her main power source severed and on the brink of death, still had enough in her to get back up and fight with all the strength she had left, finally allowing her to get her Bloomix and renewing her Dragon Flame.
* In Season 8 Stormy, completely out of nowhere, proves to be a surprisingly talented dancer (who won at least 5 professional dance competitions.)
