--> '''Quatermain''': (''points out her work'') Vampire lady has us covered.

* Hugo Hercules, [[ProtoSuperhero the original superhero]], is a walking moment of awesome. For starters, he punches out a T-Rex and decides to have it for lunch at Janni's advice. He also killed [[Literature/{{Gladiator}} Hugo Danner]], the man widely considered to be the inspiration for ''Superman'', helped destroy Film/TheBoysFromBrazil and Film/TheStepfordWives, and he is heavily implied to be the progenitor of the majority of America's iconic superheroes, thanks to his ReallyGetsAround tendencies and superpowered genetics.

*** The whole lead-in to that scene is fairly awesome too. Mina (posing as a parody of a Bond girl) plays up the whole DistressedDamsel angle convincingly as Bond moves in close and tries to have his way with her. She's protesting feebly, looking as helpless as can be...[[NotSoHarmlessVillain then she knocks him out cold with one smack across the face with her purse]]. Then, as Bond's lying on the floor with a busted jaw, Mina's purse falls open...and we see that she was hiding a brick in her purse the whole time.

--->''(Mina throws the contents of the bucket in front of her, revealing her opponent, who is momentarily stalled by a mouthful of whitewash)''
--->'''Allan Quartermain:''' There he goes! Somebody do -

--->'''Allan:''' - something.

* [[spoiler:Sherlock Holmes's [[OneSceneWonder one scene]]. He's cornered by Moriarty at Reichenbach Falls, and not only does he FaceDeathWithDignity, but figures out that Moriarty is employed by the British Empire, throws him to the rocks below the falls, and fakes his death despite being shot at by Sebastian Moran.]]
* The [[spoiler:Air-War between the respective 'armies' of Fu Manchu and Professor Moriarty]].

** This surely requires elaboration. [[spoiler: The tripods are preparing to cross London bridge, the government are preparing to launch a weapon of last resort, but might not have the time. Edward Hyde, blood knight that he is, volunteers to slow them down by engaging them directly. After a tear jerking farewell to Mina, he saunters down the bridge to meet the first, singing a jaunty tune... and gets crisped. A moment or two pass where it looks like he'd failed, only he gets up and charges at the tripod, mad as all get out, and breaks a tripod's leg off, toppling it and ripping the hatch open. He then proceeds to devour the martian piloting the thing, which makes noises that can only be martian screams of terror.]]

** Made even more awesome by [[spoiler:the Martians' terrified nuking of him directly thereafter]] and Nemo's comment that we may never know if the aliens had emotions originally but Hyde certainly taught them fear.

* Right at the end of "Black Dossier", Alan Moore suddenly proved that all of fiction means ''all'' of fiction, when Allan and Mina are rescued by a blimp piloted by [[spoiler:The Gollywog]]. The look of confused, childlike awe on Bulldog Drummond's face is a thing of beauty like unto no other.

* The [[spoiler: Hogwarts massacre]] derails every member of the [[spoiler:Harry Potter]] cast, but a character who is clearly [[spoiler:Severus Snape]] is completely fearless at [[FacingTheBulletsOneLiner facing his death, telling him, "Go ahead, you little shit! You always were a little shit!"]]. Everybody else though is put through the grinder.
** Fans of [[spoiler: Ron Weasley]] are more than a little happy, that Moore made [[spoiler: Ron]] attempt to bravely talk the Antichrist out of killing him and the rest of [[spoiler: Hogwarts]], with some seeing it as a correction to how the [[spoiler: Harry Potter]] movies made him into a sidekick. And of course restoring the dignity of the mocked working-class sidekick caricature is very much in keeping with Moore's anarchist anti-authoritarian sensibility.

* Once Janni and Jack are informed that their daughter and son-in-law are being held prisoner in [[Film/TheGreatDictator Hynkel]]'s Film/{{Metropolis}}, they immediately storm into Berlin to free them, [[MamaBear the risks]] [[PapaWolf be damned]]. The two mow through several of the armed forces and even manage to damage Maria before retreating. Even better, [[spoiler:they free their son-in-law, Armand, by timing their attack on the interrogation cell where he's being held, striking down his torturer with precision and scaring the shit out of Hynkel]].
* Despite knowing that Ayesha is a vicious, immortal warrior who has a greater chance of surviving the battle, Janni does not hesitate to engage her in the ensuing swordfight. [[spoiler:And more awesomely, Janni successfully defeats and beheads Ayesha.]]

* Hyde saving the team and the entire crew of the ''Nautilus'' from [[spoiler:Dorian's]] sabotage.

* "You broke my heart once. [[spoiler: This time you missed.]]"

* Captain Nemo's fight in the Dorian's library. That man is ''deadly'' with a sword.

* MaryPoppins [[CurbStompBattle is a badass mother]] [[Film/CoolRunnings who don't take no crap off of nobody]].

* The team fleeing Fu Manchus secret hideout under the Thames with the Cavorite, by smashing through the tunnel glass ceiling. In the process, they drown most of his minions in the base AND destroy his airship.

* The [[spoiler: Hogwarts massacre]] derails every member of the [[spoiler:Harry Potter]] cast, but a character who is clearly [[spoiler:Severus Snape]] is completely fearless at [[FacingTheBulletsOneLiner facing his death, telling him, "Go ahead, you little shit! You always were a little shit!". Everybody else though is put through the grinder.]]

* Mina Murray gets one in the first volume; after she slaps Dr. Jekyll to provoke his transformation, Hyde -- in full, grotesque form -- grabs her hand and looms over her in typical terrifying fashion to inform her of how little he appreciates it. Her response is to politely, calmly and unflinchingly inform ''him'' that he is hurting her hand and that she would very much appreciate it if he were to let her go. Much to everyone's surprise -- including Hyde's -- he does so.
* The [[spoiler:Air-War between the respective 'armies' of Fu Manchu and Professor Moriarty]] at the end of the first volume.

* The elderly thief who's in charge of a group of urchin pickpockets ends up rescuing the majority of Limehouse's inhabitants by leading them into the sewers during the battle between Moriarty and the Doctor. The best part? It's heavily implied that the old man is [[OliverTwist The Artful Dodger]].

* Alan pulling himself together one last time to help against the Anti Christ, and shows up in time to save Mina and Orlando from the Anti Christ, though it results in his death.

* Despite knowing that Ayesha is a vicious, immortal warrior who has a greater chance of surviving the battle, Janni does not hesitate to engage her in the ensuing sword-fight. [[spoiler:And more awesomely, Janni successfully defeats and beheads Ayesha]].

* Hyde saving the team and the entire crew of the Nautilus from [[spoiler:Dorian's]] sabatoge.
--> '''Jeckyll's reflection:''' Bravo, Edward! Bravo!

* While it's only mentioned in the interviews conducted by Hildy Johnson, Janni recounts how, among other things, she and her crew returned the corpse of Film/KingKong for a proper burial on Skull Island, and successfully took down Film/{{Godzilla}} off the waters of Japan.
