History Awesome / GeniusTheTransgression

* In the Second Edition it turns out the most powerful Mane in existence is ''[[BadassSanta Santa Clause]]''. The best part is that he isn't some evil or creepy version, he's just as friendly as childhood stories make him out to be and the worst he'll do to people is make them write apology letters to people they hurt.

* One of the fictions in the corebook involves a female Genius having one of her rivals StrappedToARocket which she plans to send on a Planetarium in Vienna as part of her personal revenge. Her rival points out the many flaws in her plan, including the Rocket not having enough fuel, her Beholden lacking a proper formation and the rocket not being powerful enough... to which she answers ''she is counting on it'': she knows ''he'' can upgrade the rocket so it will work out, and [[BatmanGambit he will have no choice but to do so if he doesn't want to crash along with it.]]

* Again for the setting, the climax of the Invisible Wars, which ended with the Peerage completely obliterating every single clone, brain tape and back-up body that the Nine Unknown Men could retreat to.
* When it was discovered that there was no life on Mars, this almost instantly created a bardo of the Martian Empire, who immediatly proceeded to throw an AlienInvasion on Earth. As it turned out, [[CrazyPrepared Geniuses had been preparing for this,]] and managed to repel the invasion (albeit with many casualties on their side) [[TheGreatestStoryNeverTold without mortals even realizing it had happened.]]

!!Player campaigns

* On my first run of ''Genius: The Transgression'', the GM planned to have it be a one-shot run and promised to attempt to kill the party. We entered the scene, a dungeon run by near-omnisentient AI from 500 AD based on the four classic elements. These AI believed that all humans were imperfect and must be cleansed. My Genius, a Hoffnung Director, began to out-logic the Conclave of Wind, but was resisted by a lack of perfect logic. Eventually, I pointed out that the Conclave was getting angry and emotion was imperfection, hence it was imperfect. The Conclave then attempted to smite me with a dice pool of 15 aggrivated. Subtracting my defense of 2, the dice were rolled and I hoped for the best. The Conclave got 3 successes, and I had 7 health. Right before it smote, it gave a me a [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech Reason I Suck Speech]]. I came out of the blast smoking a cigar, wearing a fedora, saying "[[Film/{{Tron}} End of]] [[BondOneLiner line]], [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitch.]]" The Conclave exploded, and the GM ruled that we were now playing a full campaign.
** It says really says something about the setting that I can't tell whether or not you're joking about the NiceHat and the cigar.

* We were recently involved in time travel related Hijinx only to find ourselves in the 40s. A bit of poking around revealed the cause: Nazi stowaways who had already left the area. The solution: Send our Mane back in time half an hour to lie in ambush for our own arrival!
