Heartwarming / Superman: Brainiac

• In Action Comics #867, Kara glomps Clark◊ while she tells him she is terrified of Brainiac. He hugs her back to reassure her.
• Superman hugs his cousin when Kara is having a breakdown.
  Superman: It's all right. It's not going to hurt you. Not anymore.
• Lois supporting Kara during Braniac's invasion, even holding her hand at one point.
• Just before Superman flies off to track down Brainiac he has a chat with Pa Kent. Pa shows Clark a whole bunch of mementos from Clark's childhood (such as a baseball Clark knocked clear across Smallville). Now, this is heartwarming enough on its own, but what clinches it is Clark engraving World's Greatest Dad on a horseshoe and giving it to his adoptive father before he goes.
• Superman meeting Kara's parents and the rest of their people in Kandor when he is in Brainiac's ship and the fact that Superman rescues them as well is one of the sweetest moments of all times because it proves that it does not matter to Superman that he was not raised on Krypton like Kara but on Earth, the people from Kandor are his people and that Kara's parents are his family as well so therefore showing that Superman fights for everyone not just for those from Earth but for everyone from every planet as well proving himself to be the All-Loving Hero that everyone both in universe and out of universe always talked about.
• Troupe and Lombard, after butting heads throughout the story, team up to slam a table into a Brainiac-bot so that it flies out of the window.
