** And before that, Jane Foster

rallying the Thors to be truly worthy of their hammers and join her in the fight against Doom, which many of them agree to even ''before'' [[DaChief Old Thor]] throws in his support.

'''Monica:''' You don't have a monopoly on '''crisis''', Reed. '''Or''' on "Walk in my shoes". '''Trust''' me-- ''[Monica shifts to her ''ComicBook/{{Nextwave}}'' uniform, Reed screams]'' --'''You''' don't know '''me'''. You have no '''idea'''.\\

* How do you stop an army of giant ant-zombie men? By focusing the combined might of the Endless [[JustForPun Summers]] and focusing all their blasts through a lens made by Leonardo da Vinci.

* A meta example: For the first time since the character was introduced, we the readers, are allowed to see the ruined, scarred visage of Doctor Doom, to see what other characters have reacted to all these years. Bonus points to the artist, who managed to create a believably scarred, burned visage, without making it comical, inhuman, and even, to a degree, pitiable.

* ''ComicBook/LokiAgentOfAsgard:'' Frigga fighting [[spoiler:King Loki]], and then managing to kill the Midgard Serpent. Most of the Ragnarök really, there are definitely worse ways to spend the end of everything than doing an epic battle on the moon.
** Not to mention the fact that Loki [[spoiler: singlehandely saved Asgard! Or rather their story! Locked in an awesome final battle, the God of Stories preserved their story to be told in the new universe!]]

* In the very first issue, we open with Doctor Doom standing before a rift in space, behind which live [[OmnicidalManiac the Beyonders]], other-dimensional beings [[spoiler: almost single-handedly responsible for the multiversal decay]]:

* Colossus pulls off a FastballSpecial... not with the currently-deceased Wolverine, but with [[spoiler:the ''friggin' Hulk'']]. Colossus throws him ''through'' the Incursion point into the Ultimate Universe and manages to hit the Triskelion. ''Then'' he repeats the process with She-Hulk and Pod. After being ported over by Nightcrawler, [[spoiler: the four '''uplift the Triskelion with their bare hands''']]!

* Cyclops [[spoiler:becoming the Phoenix once more and frying the Maker's army.]]

* [[spoiler: Susan Storm]] manages to quell Doom's rage with a simple, humble request for mercy for Brian Braddock. Not many people can change Doom's mind once he's made a decision, and fewer still with a single word.

* Issue #4: Just the sight of [[spoiler: 616-Reed Richards, who has no Battleworld equivalent]] causes Doom to completely fall apart.

* From issue 6, what Thanos does: [[spoiler:He lets himself get arrested by the forces on the Shield, and then talks to Ben Grimm. In a few minutes, he manages to point out to Grimm that Doom is behind his problems, that Ben's life is Doom's way of torturing him, causing Ben to ''stand up'' (remember, he's the wall that goes ''around the world''), ready to show Doom what time it is.]]
** Siege, which shows the events, adds on to this, [[spoiler:by having Ben actually say his catchphrase as he goes off.]]
--->'''Thanos:''' [[spoiler: [[DareToBeBadass What time is it, Ben Grimm?]]]] '''What time is it?'''
--->'''Grimm:''' [[spoiler: IT'S CLOBBERING TIME!]]

** The Prophet who led a revolt against Doom turns out to be [[spoiler:Maximus.]]
** T'Challa calls himself King of the Dead, a meaning that has changed several times, the most recent can be interpreted as "King of a Dead Nation" or simply being able to communicate with the deceased Black Panthers before him. On Battleworld? [[spoiler: He can command the zombies of Battleworld, literally making him the King of the Dead.]]
** From the above, [[spoiler:when Zombie!Modok questioned him, Namor threw his trident through his face before asking]] "Your king is waiting for an answer."

--->[[spoiler: "I... I... [[UnexpectedCharacter I AM GROOT!]]"]]
*** What sells this is Franklin's OhCrap look as it grows gigantic and smashes Castle Doom to the ground - after just casually [[spoiler:killing the Thing with Galactus, who refused to kill him,]] he's now up against an opponent who has no qualms with smashing him.
** Thanos gives Doom a glorious ReasonYouSuckSpeech. Doom's answer? [[spoiler:Casually rips out Thanos' skeleton]].

* In issue 9, [[spoiler:Doom finally admits that Reed is smarter than him.]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Doom''': It's the same thing it's always been between you and I...'''YOU THINK YOU ARE BETTER THAN I AM.''']]
-->[[spoiler:'''Reed''': No, Victor. You're wrong. I've always believed you could be better than what you are.]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Doom''': No. I mean '''NOW'''. This moment. If you had this power, you think you could have solved it all--solved everything...You think you could have done [[PunctuatedForEmphasis SO...MUCH...BETTER...]] DON'T YOU? ''' ''DON'T YOU?!'' ''']]
-->[[spoiler:'''Reed''': Yes. And we ''both'' know it, don't we?]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Doom''': Yes, damn you...'''NOW DIE!''']]
** After Doom concedes that Reed is smarter [[spoiler: and could have used the power better]], Owen Reese says that since the two of them are in agreement over that point, [[spoiler: he diverts that power to Reed.]] Cue a massive OhCrap look from Doom as he realizes exactly what was just said.

** Both Peter and [[{{Muggle}} Mary Jane]] running to Anne's school the moment they hear an incident, because they just ''knew'' Anne would be involved. [[spoiler: She's not.]]
* In issue 3, Peter [[spoiler: kills]] Hobgoblin, and reveals himself not to be the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man people knew of old.

** [[spoiler:Sandman's DyingMomentOfAwesome, allowing himself to get captured and get the remaining Avengers into Regent's base.]]

* And all of this? [[spoiler: [[XanatosGambit All part of Doom's plan]].]]

* Thanos gets defeated by one Anwen Baiken, who practically wins by doing nothing. Confronting her, she seemingly hands over the Reality Stone with no opposition, and he then proceeds to assemble the rest of the Infinity Gauntlet. [[spoiler: In reality, she had used the ''real'' Reality Stone to create a fake Infinity Stone, the Death Stone, which looked identical to the Reality Stone; however, when used in place of the Reality Stone in an Infinity Gauntlet, it basically self-snaps the user...no points for guessing what happens to Thanos]].

** Also points for Miguel, who finally puts his father in his place. [[spoiler:By shoving him out of Alchemax's tower.]]

* Gwen, having a deep distrust of Norman Osborn, has parted ways with her fellow Spiders, and is alone, staring at her own grave, when she's greeted by [[spoiler: Peter Parker]].
--> [[spoiler: '''Peter''': Hello. My name is Peter Parker, and I used to be Spider-Man.]]

* The final issue, with [[spoiler:the Ghost Racers finally rebelling and ending the races, [[BadassBoast declaring themselves free and something much more]]...]]

** And what about the villains of the story? [[spoiler: Zadakiel tries to kill Gabe, but Robbie teleports himself in his place and lets Eli consume Zadakiel's soul. And Alejandra tears Arcade's eyes out, which is followed by him being run over by every single Ghost Racer.]]

* In Thors #4 [[spoiler:During the final battle of Battleworld, Ultimate Thor throws his Mjolnir, just as Battleworld gives way to a new, normal Earth, and the hammer survives to land on Old Asgard.]]
** And before that, [[spoiler:Jane Foster]] rallying the Thors to be truly worthy of their hammers and join [[spoiler:her]] in the fight against Doom, which many of them agree to even ''before'' [[DaChief Old Thor]] throws in his support.

''[[spoiler:[Summons '''Onslaught''', who busts through Nova's body and rips out the Shadow King.]]]''

* [[BadassGrandpa Carter Slade]] has been redesigned. Originally, he was a cowboy dressed in all-white with a cape and full-face mask. Now? ''[[http://comicsalliance.com/files/2015/03/gr-SLADE.jpg He's a freaking skeletal centaur with gattling guns attached to his sides.]]''

* The entire race in ''Ghost Racers''. It's like a mixture of ''Film/DeathRace'', ''Anime/{{Redline}}'', and ''Franchise/MadMax'' put into a few pages.

** And finally Maestro leading the Worldbreakers against Doom.

* From issue 6, what Thanos does: [[spoiler:He lets himself get arrested by the forces on the Shield, and then talks to Ben Grimm. In a few minutes, he manages to point out to Grimm that Doom is behind his problems, that Ben's life is Doom's way of torturing him, causing Ben to ''stand up'' (remember, he's the wall spanning miles), ready to show Doom what time it is.]]

** : Black Swan confronts and prepares to kill Peter Quill, who has been warning her to just back off or she'll regret it. When she refuses he uses his trump card, a small sliver of wood. After stabbing it into the wood of the world tree...

** Thanos gives Doom a glorious ReasonYouSuckSpeech. Doom's answer? [[spoiler:Casually rips out Thanos' spine]].

** After Doom concedes that Reed is smarter [[spoiler: and could have used the power better]], Owen Reese says that since the two of them are in agreement over that point, [[he diverts that power to Reed.]] Cue a massive OhCrap look from Doom as he realizes exactly what was just said.

--->[[[spoiler: "I... I... [[UnexpectedCharacter I AM GROOT!]]"]]

* Issue Eight: Black Swan confronts and prepares to kill Star-Lord, who has been warning her to just back off or she'll regret it. He's able to find and pull out his Trump Card - a small sliver of wood. He plants that wood into Doom's throne, which grows and convulses revealing...
