* In Myth/HinduMythology: When [[WingedHumanoid Garuda]] steals Amarita from heaven, various gods try to stop him and get their asses kicked. Notably, when Indra strikes Garuda with the Vajra, [[StoneWall it doesn't even scratch him]]. However, Garuda drops a single feather to show his respect to Vajra (it was Shiva's gift to Indra). It takes Vishnu to fight Garuda to a ''draw''. And he did all of that ''before'' gaining godhood.
* Evoked in the EldritchAbomination page, but it needs to be retold here. How does Zeus get rid of Typhon, the most powerful monster in the Greek mythology ever, who by himself could single handledly smack the gods around ? BY CLUBBING HIM WITH THE ENTIRE ISLAND OF SICILY.
* Achilles' life is one long Crowning Moment of Awesome, since he chose a short glorious life (and eternal fame) over a long, quiet one. Highlights include his defeat of Hector and killing the Amazonian Queen Penthesilea.
* The Twelve Labors of Heracles were a number of separate Crowning Moments of Awesome that were eventually linked into a single narrative.



* Thor, when he faced a frost giant in a duel, found that the giant had cheated by bringing a massive clay golem to the fight to aid him. Thor gave the golem a DeathGlare so epic that the golem immediately pissed itself and dissolved into a puddle. [[Website/BadassOfTheWeek That's right, folks-Thor was so crap-your-pants scary that he could make inanimate constructs spontaneously spawn an excretory system solely for the purposes of wetting themselves.]]
