History Awesome / AmericanDragonJakeLong

* Councilor Kulde gets a small one in "The Halloween Bash", by verbally putting Chang in her place when she objects to his and Councilor Andam's decision of [[spoiler:giving Jake his powers back]].

** What makes this impressive, Hailey is usually a people-pleaser who uses a polite tone whenever possible. This is notably the one time she [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness breaks out of character]], just to make a point that Jake is selfless.
** Fridge-Awesome: Jake makes a point that Hailey upstages him at everything. Guess in this case, she upstages him at voicing his own complaints about being the American Dragon.

** Seeing Jake actually land Rose is actually a huge CMOA in it's own right. The show created natural obstacles for the two's relationship, and it didn't rely on the "awkward boy couldn't get a date" scenario often seen in similar situations.

'''Councilor Kulde:''' Is exactly what saved ''you'' from becoming someone's prey.

* Spud and Trixie outsmarting and ''defeating the Gorgons'' in "Bring It On".

*** And just seconds before that, Jake called Rotwood "clueless". This was the scene that Rotwood proved to not just Jake, but to the viewers themselves, that he was ''not'' one to be underestimated.

-->'''Haley''': HEY! When's the last time either of you were the American Dragon? Well as the little troll girl currently filling the position, let me tell you it's stinkin' hard! I can't imagine doing it two more days let alone two more ''years''! And to think about everything Jake's gone through; he's had to save magical creatures on a daily basis, lie to his own dad about who he is, say good-bye to the girl he loved, all to protect a mystical world that ''nobody'' knows about. He may be the American Dragon but he is also a 14 year old kid who just wanted a couple days off. If that makes him immature, fine, but self-serving? With all due respect to both of you, '''''STEP OFF!!'''''

* [[http://adjl.wikia.com/wiki/Magical_Community This page]] has the list of the "Top 13 Threats to the Magical Community". Jake has [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Defeated. Them. All. At. Least. Once]]:

** #11, the Shade Demons: they served as {{Mooks}} for the Dark Dragon, so they shared his defeats;

** #13, the Pooka: sent Haley in ScornedWoman mode on him. We don't know what happened exactly, but the Pooka never reappeared;

** #10, the Avemetrus: [[StuffBlowingUp blew it up]] by getting it [[HoistByItsOwnPetard to touch himself with its own age-sucking tentacles]];
** #09, the Gorgons: two petrified and dumped in the Hudson, the third and last still at large;

* The twenty years younger version of the Huntsman in "Hero of the Hourglass" gets a few. Not only he gives Jake a desperate run for his money on his ''first mission'', but after his voice changes he scares into submission the other Huntsclan apprentices who, until then, were treating him as a ButtMonkey.

** #01, the Dark Dragon: fought thrice. The first time Jake escaped, the second time he [[spoiler: orchestrated his ''death'' at the hands of the friggin' ''[[KillerRabbit Tooth Fairy]]'']], and the third time helped Rose defeating him and sealed him away for a thousand years.

** Also, [[TheSoCalledCoward Fu Dog being willing to fight the Dark Dragon head on]] ''both times''. [[NegatedMomentOfAwesome He got knocked out by Chang from behind both times]], but points for the courage.

** in the present, Jake, with some help from friends, both magical and {{Muggles}}, waltzed in his hideout, freed Lao Shi (who had been captured), captured Chang (courtesy of ''Trixie and Spud''), and led him in the spot he needed for the ''Tooth Fairy'' to ''drop a few tons of bricks on him''. And this time, they ''killed him'' (even if Chang would later bring him BackFromTheDead).

* Jonathan gets one in "The Long Weekend" and later in "Bite Father, Bite Son." The normally bumbling human dad fights to protect Jake from the Jersey Devil and vampires, respectively. He later helps save the day in the series finale as well.

* The magical creatures attacking the Huntsclan camp in "The Hunted", [[CurbstompBattle completely trashing the camp and no one getting hurt]]. Impressive, considering this was a RagtagBunchofMisfits.

* Haley's CallingTheOldManOut scene in "Being Human".

* Rotwood tricking Jake into revealing himself as a dragon at the very end of "The Rotwood Files". They really saved the best for last.

* The Huntsclan and The Dark Dragon being defeated.
