* Peter's response to Silver Sable about how she is gonna get Mary Jane and Aunt May now that she knows he is Spider-Man: [[PunctuatedForEmphasis "Leave. My family. Alone!"]]
* Sable has managed to get herself out of Venom before he could get a chance to absorb her life force.
** All bosses will do that. Notably, Wolverine slicing his way out.
* Most of Spidey's victories over Venom, since Venom could normally tear Peter apart at close range in his early days, but in the game itself Pete seems to be barely out of breath.
** The last one in particular stands out. Spider-Man delivers a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown on Eddie, punching the crap out of him. Then, as he walks away, Venom gets back up and prepares to attack him, only for Peter to knock him out with a single punch.
* Venom himself gets a truly chilling and epic moment in the game's ending. We see him suddenly standing behind the BigBad in a well-guarded prison. What follows is this exchange:
-->'''Eddie''': ''Mister'' Trask... I have been looking forward to this.
-->'''Trask''': [[OhCrap Eddie? I-I can't believe-]]
-->'''Eddie''': You know what ''I'' can't believe? I can't believe that after ''all'' the things you did... ''all'' the things you made ''me'' do... that after ''all'' of that, all you got was ''[[KarmaHoudini three years in a golf course prison!]]''
-->'''Trask''': Y-you can't do anything to me in here! The guards, the-(Eddie transforms)
-->'''Venom''': They aren't ''nearly'' well-armed enough!
** He lunges at Trask, and all we see is the man's point of view before the screen goes black.
* The final boss fight where Venom is playable results in him absorbing the remnants of the suit in Peter's bloodstream, granting Eddie control over the suit and his signature chest insignia. And in a meta sense, he earns it by beating up Carnage, who traditionally is stronger than him. (It also gives him one victory over Peter.)
** This makes Venom's prior defeats awesome in hindsight. Throughout his three battles with Spider-Man, Venom had lost every time, but had always returned stronger and hungrier for revenge. Once faced with the even more powerful ([[BrainwashedAndCrazy although unhinged]]) Spider-Man (now Carnage), Venom still battles him despite the heavy odds; ''and wins!'' This also gives Spider-Man an awesome moment as well, as he recuperates from this loss, returns as himself, and completely defeats the fully in-control and powered-up Venom.
-->'''Eddie''': Ahhhh, yes...yes!
-->'''Peter''': Eddie? Eddie, what's going on?
-->'''Venom''': [[PunctuatedForEmphasis I...have...absolute...]] ''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis total...]]'' '''''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis control!]]''''' ''([[EvilLaugh audible snicker]])'' [[ItsPersonal Now then, I have a score to settle...]]
-->'''Eddie''': Which way do you figure...
-->'''Venom''': ''[[WhereItAllBegan Trask's office is?!]]''
** Just the buildup to that scene. The cutscene after defeating Carnage goes through a very quick sum-up of the Carnage boss fight, before Venom just as quickly sucks him up...before flexing his muscles as he lets out a triumphant roar, outright ''throwing'' Spidey out of his stomach. He bends down and...'''boom'''. The symbol flashes on as he poses triumphantly, speaking clearly like he never had before. Behold, the ''true'' Venom!

** Most bosses will do that. Notably, Wolverine slicing his way out.

* The final boss fight where Venom is playable results in him absorbing the remnants of the suit in Peter's bloodstream, granting Eddie control over the suit and his signature chest insignia. And in a meta sense, he earns it beating up Carnage, who traditionally is stronger than him. (It also gives him one victory over Peter.)

** Kingpin's revenge is also pretty good; [[spoiler:after beating up and unmasking Spidey, he reveals that he acquired a small studio that had gotten the rights to Spidey's image from the wrestling company he started out with. That meant that if Spidey attacked him, Kingpin would make money. If Spidey fought crime, Kingpin would make money. If Spidey retired, Kingpin would hire some guy to fight crime in his stead. And make money.]]

* The turning point of Spider-Man's first fight with Venom. In the Ultimate continuity, [[spoiler: Eddie Brock is a childhood friend of Peter, so when Brock turns out to be a psychopath and turns himself into Venom, Peter blames himself, and tries to talk Brock down. When Brock sets the symbiote on Peter, he finally decides to stop talking and start kicking ass. The CMOA occurs once Peter grabs a tire and hits the underside of his chin so hard Venom bites through his own tongue.]] Totally, totally badass.

* The knock-down, drag-out brawl to the ''death'' between Peter and Carnage when Carnage comes looking for Peter the night after it [[spoiler:killed Gwen]]. Peter isn't even in his costume so we can see every ouce of rage and desperation on his face as the two of them leap around exchanging brutal attacks and smashing up their surroundings. [[http://www.symbiote.fr/images/comics/ultimate-spiderman-6417.jpg Bagley's artwork has never been better,]] making it simply one of the most visceral and thrilling fight scenes in the entire series.
* Everything that happens in the Clone Saga arc. Highlights: [[spoiler: Peter telling Fury that he'll do anything he wants if he can have 10 minutes alone with Octavius, and Fury accepting; Mary Jane convincing Fury to let Spider-Man keep his powers by saying Peter looks up to him like a father; the Fantastic Four standing up to a small army of SHIELD equipment and soldiers for Spider-Man.]]

* Perhaps the single most awesome moment in the Ultimate-verse is J. Jonah Jameson [[spoiler:discovering Peter Parker is Spider-Man in the "Tainted Love" arc. You'd think he would go and plaster it all over his paper and ruin Spidey's reputation, right? Wrong! He tells his reporters that he knows who Spidey is, but is not going to tell them and will, in fact, use the Bugle to '''help''' Peter]].

* "[[DyingMomentOfAwesome The Death of Spider-Man]]" -- The Sinister Six [[spoiler:(or rather, the Fearsome Five)]], who had to be stopped by ComicBook/TheUltimates last time they teamed up, turn up at the Parkers' home seconds after Johnny & Bobby return from a double date. The two teens don't back down, and when Osborn [[HulkingOut turns into the Green Goblin]], Johnny flames on and takes Osborn out immediately. That's right, ''the Human Torch freaking [[OneHitKill one hit kills]] the Green Goblin''. The Torch & Iceman then hold their own against four villains they've never fought before, before Sandman & Electro manage to take them out. At which point a wounded Peter turns up.

* Miles' parents in the Venom Wars arc. If we learn nothing else about them, we know that heroics run in the [[BadassNormal Morales family]]. His father, fresh from his above-mentioned altercation with the Hydra terrorists, finds Venom after him before Spider-Man engages. Instead of running or hiding, Jefferson tries to engage Venom with a rock, and is promptly thrown through a car window, putting him in the hospital. When Rio tries to visit her husband Venom shows up at the hospital still looking for Jefferson, where Rio doesn't even think twice before rushing to help people get to safety. Miles shows up, they fight again, and Rio, recognizing who the new Spider-Man is, starts shooting at Venom. Spider-Man eventually beats Venom [[spoiler: but it comes at a price for his [[HeroicSacrifice mom]]]].

* In issue 5 of "Miles Morales: Spider-Man", J. Jonah Jameson [[AloneWithThePsycho is forced to have an interview with]] the newly revealed BackFromTheDead ComicBook/NormanOsborn. The interview begins by revealing that Norman's insanity has been lessened somewhat by the [[TheParalyzer Venom Strike]] balancing his chemical imbalances out a bit more (the OZ apparently having granted him some form of immortality according to him), and it seems he has come to his senses, especially regarding [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes his murder of Harry]]. However, as he reveals that he is still just as spiteful and [[NeverMyFault blames everybody else around him for his behavior]], [[spoiler:Jameson calmly [[ChandlersLaw pulls out a pistol]] [[CombatPragmatist and shoots Norman in the head three times]]. [[DyingMomentOfAwesome Sadly, it doesn't take, and he's apparently murdered for the attempt]]]].
* In Issue #6: Miles Morales vs Green Goblin Round 2. [[spoiler:Miles kicks his ass rather handily completely by himself by spamming his Venom Blast, noting it had a stronger reaction on him.]]

* In Issue #12, [[spoiler: Miles pretty much demolishes Dr. Doom, the Spider Twins and dozens of Hydra soldiers almost by himself, with just a bit of help from Jessica. It's really a sight to behold when a whole group of heroes and civilians pop in to try helping, only for them to be stunned when they see almost everyone knocked out and the place trashed.]]
** In the same issue, [[spoiler: Miles decidedly breaks up with Katie (who, while worried about Miles, continued to stand up for Hydra and kept trying to convince Miles that Hydra was in the right). Dagger asks for permission to give her a lesson, which Miles gives, and Dagger (who had mentioned before that she never liked or trusted Katie) shuts the babbling Katie down by shooting her with one of her light daggers and a firmly placed "Shush, skank".]]

** Even better is how Fury fully acknowledges Peter as TheParagon due to his HeroicWillpower in the face of the non-stop TraumaCongaLine that was inflicted onto him by Dr. Octopus and all the other horrors he experienced. Fury is flabbergasted and proud that Peter could maintain being such a good person despite having every reason in the world to snap and become a dangerous villain like he feared. Peter's goodness beat Fury's cynicism and he's genuinely happy for it.

** This makes Venom's prior defeats awesome in hindsight. Throughout his three battles with Spider-Man, Venom had lost every time, but had always returned stronger and hungrier for revenge. Once faced with the even more powerful ([[BrainwashedAndCrazy although unhinged]]) Spider-Man, now Carnage, Venom still battles him despite the heavy odds; ''and wins!'' This also gives Spider-Man an awesome moment as well, as he recuperates from this loss, returns as himself, and completely defeats the fully in-control and powered-up Venom.

** This makes Venom's victory over Carnage an awesome moment as well. After getting his ass kicked ''[[RuleOfThree three times]]'' by his nemesis, Venom finds Spidey souped up by a portion of his suit mixed with his own radioactive blood. Venom promptly battles the even stronger Spider-Man against the odds - and ''wins''.
