    • Steve, Natasha, Oliver and Sara almost single-handedly defeat a camp of Orcs when they first arrive in Middle-earth even before the Fellowship arrives to aid them.
    • Steve wrestles with the Cave Troll in Moria, aweing the Fellowship at how much strength he seems to possess.

    • Once more, Steve is instrumental in the defense of Minas Tirith, organizing a medieval aerial defense with Faramir and his Rangers, using his strength to deflect a boulder hurled by a catapult, ripping out a Troll's throat, and then rolling a boulder to crush some Orcs charging through the broken Gate.
    • Sara clashes with the Witch-King of Angmar using her Elven sword Ciris in spite of being no match for him.
    • Oliver takes out an Oliphaunt with a powerful trick arrow.
    • Steve, Oliver and Sara insult the Mouth of Sauron and accidentally make him slip that Sauron still does not have his One Ring back, meaning Frodo, Sam and Natasha are fine.
    • Natasha actually chops off Gollum's arm after he bites off Frodo's finger.
  • Heroes stand united:
    • Gandalf, Elrond, Galadriel, Logan, Bucky and Clint join the rescue of Wanda and Vision, and in addition to Glaive and Midnight, there are also Middle-earth Vampires to fight and kill.
    • Thor effortlessly kills a Troll and 2 Orcs sent by Morgoth to torture Eitri, punching the Troll's head and one Orc right into Space, and this display is enough to make Rocket laugh at remembering how Quill was trying to intimidate Thor.
    • Chapter 6 has a lot of these:
      • Logan grapples with Red Hulk and gives him a very hard fight.

      • Gandalf effortlessly overpowers Damien Darhk.
      • Tony, with his new armor that he made in Nidavellir, manages to grapple with a Kryptonian like Zod.

      • All of the Heroes from Tolkien's Legendarium, Marvel Cinematic Universe and Arrowverse come through portals to take on Morgoth, Thanos and their armies. This scene is pretty much the culmination of everything set up in the first three stories until now.
    • Chapter 20 has a good number of them as well:
      • Harry Wells saves himself from Eobard Thawne wearing his face due to the miniature robots inside his body which attack foreign particles speeding into his system.
      • While it traumatizes Barry, him finally killing Thawne once and for all is still very satisfying, especially after Thawne's gloating that Barry doesn't kill.
      • Bruce surprises Ra's by breaking his sword with his gauntlets.
      • Oliver taking on Adrian and killing him after listing out to him why he's not a monster is just as satisfying as Barry killing Thawne.

      • Aragorn uses Mjolnir to finally defeat a resurrected Sauron.
      • Hulk, Tulkas, Diana, Carol, Danvers, Clark and Thor all join forces to finally kill Ancalagon the Black, pushing him into the sun.

      • Ghost Rider uses his Penance Stare to finally take out Thanos once and for all.
      • While it takes his life, Elrond snapping the fingers to end Morgoth and the rest of the enemies is still a satisfying moment, seeing Morgoth scream in agony due to his plan failing.
    • When Constantine and Johnny Blaze go to return the Soul Stone, Blaze destroys the Red Skull with his powers.
  • Of Speedsters and Forces:
    • Bart Allen surprises the other speedsters by running so fast it looks like he's floating in the air, and he pretty much establishes himself as the fastest speedster until that point.
    • Then comes Peter Maximoff who is slightly faster than even Bart, and shows off by bringing a mattress and pillows to cushion the fall of two people.
    • Charles Xavier engages Jean Grey with the Phoenix Force in a mental battle, and barely wins.
    • Maximoff and Bart effortlessly embarrass and take out Godspeed, who'd been giving Team Flash and the other speedsters a lot of trouble until that point.

      • And then, in the battle against Doomsday, the Green Lantern Ring of the deceased Earth-167 Hal Jordan leaves John Stewart's pocket and chooses Steve to wield itself.
      • At one point in the battle, Steve is wielding his shield, Mjolnir and the Green Lantern Ring all simultaneously, aweing all who see him in this state.
      • Lena manages to trick Earth-38 Lex into confessing that he and the other two Lex Luthors brainwashed the Supermen into fighting. She also has the confession recorded, which helps the Supermen in clearing their names publicly later.
      • Frank Castle brutally kills Earth-50 Lex Luthor for his role in the battle of the brainwashed Supermen and then the rampage caused by Doomsday.

    • Chapter 6 has two of these:
      • In the final battle, Matt Murdock takes a short break from the fight to explain to Earth-2002 Spider-Man how the Eddie Brock/Venom he is currently facing is not the one he knew, and during this time, he dodges any attacks coming his way using his senses while continuing his explanation.

  • One too many Dark Knights:
    • Earth-38 Batman with Kryptonite, alongside Earth-50 Batman, are instrumental in restraining the out of control Earth-9 Superboy.
    • Ra's al Ghul of Earth-38 manages to clash with Earth-9 Deathstroke equally, in spite of the latter's superhuman enhancements. In fact it is Ra's who praises Deathstroke's fighting skills.
    • Chapter 8 has a few:
      • Batman and Earth-1 Joker team up to battle the evil Batman, and it ends with Earth-1 Joker killing evil Bat.
      • Earth-50 Deathstroke engages the Earth-9 version and defeats him at the end of it.
      • While The Batman Who Laughs is a formidable opponent, Earth-50 Batman fights him solo for a few minutes and gives him quite some damage.
      • Even if it seems like Hell has frozen over, the team-up between the Batmen and Jokers to take out The Batman Who Laughs is pretty satisfying, especially seeing the reaction of The Batman Who Laughs.
  • A Venomous Conspiracy:
    • Moon Knight in this whole story pretty much. He smoothly convinces Benson to reveal what actually happened to Gwen Stacy, then captures and tortures Rhino to get her location, before planting a small device on Norman during a business meeting. In the final battle, he defeats a group of thugs as well as Silver Sable, and holds Green Goblin back long enough for the other Heroes to take him out.

    • Thor and Earth-167 Clark end up fusing into one being named Thor-El or SuperThor, who has both of their powers combined and doubled. He shows just how badass he is for the time he is there, first beating up Dormammu physically, then pushing an orb of darkness summoned by Dormammu to destroy Earth back into Space, and causing a rain all over the world with a scream when he powers up with the Odinforce. When Dormammu goes into his body, he uses a combination of Odinforce and sunlight to isolate Dormammu within his body, forcing Dormammu to get out, and also stops an angry Dormammu from covering the Multiverse with the Dark Dimension. He also escapes many attacks unscathed, and these attacks would have killed or damaged most other Heroes, including Thor and Earth-167 Clark separately.

    • The T-800 has been upgraded by Earth-199999 Parker and Shuri, and its new features make it quite the force to be reckoned with. And it still carries a shotgun for old times' sake.

      • Strange convinces the 4 Entities Doom made a deal with to back off after pointing out Doom won't fulfill his end of the bargain.
      • Even when the Phoenix Force is gone and Doom is surrounded by all Heroes, he has a contingency plan to get out unscathed, since he is the only one who knows where Earth-167 Clark is kept, and also gives the Heroes information of Earth-167 Lex Luthor's crimes to sweeten the deal.

      • Blade and Buffy team up and clash against Count Dracula.
      • At one point, Dawn telekinetically takes out her enemies with a pencil, and then hits Count Dracula with a fireball, distracting him so his intended lightning bolt for Blade and Buffy misses, and they both manage to take him out.
      • Steve makes a mini-sun with his Green Lantern Ring, killing Baron Blood within closed doors with that.
      • Willow summons a giant root from the Earth to impale Witchfire.

His introduction of himself is also a badass one:
    "I am not Thor Odinson or Kal-El! I am Thor-El! IT'S OVER FALSE HELL LORDS! I'VE COME FOR YOU! Every force you create has an echo. Your own lust for power will be your undoing."

"I feel like I live in a world made of cardboard, always taking constant care not to break something, to break someone, never allowing myself to lose control, even for a moment or someone could die. But you can take it, can't you big man? What we have here is a rare opportunity for me to cut lose, and show you just how powerful I really am........I am the hope of the Universe.
