  • The strips where Doc and Roger kick some serious zombie ass.
  • The following year, the fire department gets in on the action. Props go to the chief, who takes on the zombies armed with only a fire axe. BAD. ASS
  • Everyone vs. Larry and Daryl. Either Larry or Daryl (it's hard to tell) takes out the entire opposing team. With a paint grenade. Best forty bucks he ever spent, indeed.
  • At one point, Roger gets chased by a couple of ~10' tall robots into the store, and he fights back with his own partial power suit tech in a way that evinces Iron Man. He is forced to flee through the main store, where Jinx is sleeping through the loud noises made by Roger and the robots, even as the robots pass by. When Roger gets to the elevator, barely escapes it being blown to bits at the bottom, faces a robot that followed him down the shaft, unable to defend himself. Suddenly, a big red fist punches the side of the robot's head, and once they turn around, who should be visible in the cockpit of Doc's power armor but Jinx. The kid "played possum" by pretending to be in deep sleep, then somehow located Doc's power armor, piloted it down the shaft, and saved Roger in the span of maybe A MINUTE. And he's grinning. For God's sake, someone needs to start actually paying this savvy kid some big bucks!
    • Even after he's knocked senseless and the suit damaged, Jinx gets back up and starts wailing on the robots later with the suit's dismembered arm. This inadvertently saving Roger's skin a second time by distracting the bots from melting through the door to the lab Roger is in. While relating this to Doc the next morning, Roger asks if they do pay Jinx. When Doc replies that they do give the kid a small salary under the table, Roger tells him to quadruple it.
  • His gun may be a little rusty, but Red certainly isn't...
  • In the 2013 Halloween arc, Jinx gets into experimental Mountain Dew, which mutates him to be bigger than Doc. When he starts rampaging, Kasi shows up with their version of the Hulkbuster.
  • The second time Doc crashes after using a sugar high to get paint for the big paintball game, he ends up waking up under the effects of a hallucination. And what does this do? Turn him into a near-unstoppable and efficient sleepwalking One-Man Army, or a least by paintball standards. Armed with a Gatling paintball gun that can shoot around corners, and a invisibility cloak (created by Roger), Doc proceeds to annihilate pretty much any of the players he comes across. It's such a serious issue that the entire game has to be reworked so that everyone will aim to take out Doc, who is thankfully still following the rules in spite of his delirious state. Still, even though there are over one-hundred players in the game now gunning for him, the only reason Doc is taken out is because he's baited by a drone that crashed nearby, carrying a six-pack of Mountain Dew. While he was distracted, Doc was then attacked by both Radar's shot (she evaded the barrage by following Doc from behind), along with Larry and Daryl's paint grenade, in an unintentional pincer movement.
