History Awesome / CrisisOnInfiniteEarths

* And ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'s HeroicSacrifice. Also one of the most famous DyingMomentOfAwesome.
** To elaborate, Supergirl just beats the ever loving crap out of the Anti-Monitor, giving him hell, savagely laying it on him. The only thing that saves him is a single lucky shot.
* ComicBook/TheSpectre's duel with the Anti-Monitor at the dawn of time.
* Franchise/TheFlash Barry Allen's [[http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/marvel_dc/images/5/57/Flash_0050.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20121005105640 final run]].
** This truly deserves to be elaborated on: Barry arrives to the Anti-Monitor's doomsday machine, finding a massive ball of antimatter held together by the apparatus. Even as the antimatter is sapping away his strength, he goes for one final run, even as the life is sapped from his body, running across the machine again, and again, and again, and again, each time wearing it down with his footsteps. As the machine falls apart and explodes, the last of his life-force is drained, and his final words are

* A meta moment for the upcoming Arrowverse event, Creator/KevinConroy is going to be in the special as a future version of Batman!
** Even better, Tom Welling and Erica Durance will be reprising their ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' roles!

* The Crime Syndicate of America, the Justice League's [[EvilCounterpart evil counterparts]] of Earth-3, [[HeroicSacrifice spend their final moments attempting to save their own world and the people who live in it]]. Ultraman makes a BadassBoast when flying into the anti-matter wall: "[[DefiantToTheEnd I fight to the very end!]]", giving a very warm [[WhenHeSmiles Superman-like smile]].

* The Novelization actually makes it ''better''. The observing ghost of Barry Allen realizes that Kal-L isn't strong enough, the final punch will fail, and the Anti-Monitor will win. So he travels to limbo, where the souls of all the Anti-Monitor's victims--both those killed normally as well as those who were erased from reality (so at least RetGone doesn't mean you ''completely'' cease to exist)--are waiting for admittance to the afterlife. Barry runs through them all, borrowing a little bit of energy from each of them, all the billions and billions. And then he returns to the fight, merging with Kal-L and letting him draw upon all that energy, so his last punch has a lot more power to it and is able to do the job. So the Anti-Monitor wasn't just killed by Superman, but by all his victims too. Overlaps with HeartwarmingMoment.

* TheSpectre's duel with the Anti-Monitor at the dawn of time.

* The original super-hero, [[TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks Golden Age]] Superman, throws [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu the final punch that destroys the Anti-Monitor once and for all]], after literally a dozen other world-ending blasts fail to off him.

* Negative Woman killing Chemo after he turned the entire sea of an Earth into a cemetary and during the finale she bound and burned the Anti-Monitor for several critical moments.

* It's really hoo-hum by today's standards but all the villains and all the heroes battling each other all over the last three Earths is spectacular. Not just the plan of having all the villains teaming up and outnumbering the heroes 5 to 1 but the heroes band together and with teamwork make it a really close fight.

* [[TheFlash Barry Allen]]'s final run.
