* The archery contest between Green Arrow and the Celestial Archer. On the one hand, Celestial Archer hits every bullseye in one shot with one arrow, and gets himself a date with Artemis. On the other hand, Green Arrow showed the dissmissive Renegade what a BadassNormal can do, and missed the last bullseye by firing an arrow over the mountain.

** In the rematch, the situation is even more dangerous. Klarion manages to hijack the power of OL's ring, and is drawing his power from a Djinn instead of Teekl. He specifically set this trap as revenge on OL. So what does he do? [[spoiler: He [[BadassNormal takes his ring off]] so Klarion can't draw power from it any more. Then, he empties a clip of ten bullets into him. And then he co-ordinates the team - who are badly outmatched and in a desperate fight for their lives - into working together to distract Klarion while destroying the gem that's the source of Klarion's powers. All of this he does while Klarion is trying and failing to hit him with his spells because OL is immune to the spell's targeting system.]] Even with every advantage, Orange Lantern still manages to whip Klarion into a screaming frenzy of frustration.

* And in the main universe, Killer Croc punched [[spoiler: Danner enhanced]] Robin in the face. He broke three fingers.

* And in the main universe, Killer Croc punched Danner!Robin in the face. He broke three hands.

* Robin actually standing up to the massively overpowered Renegade Orange Lantern. Renegade admired his moxy so much, he let him live.

* Orange Lantern ''stole Ras Al Ghul's Lazarus Pit''! And in the process, exposed one of Ras' secret headquarters to Batman. All this, because basically he was having a tantrum over a bad day.

** [[spoiler: [[SwampThing Swamp Thing]] showing up after the Injustice League is captured, and [[BroughtDownToNormal removing]] Poison Ivy's connection to [[MotherNature The Green]] after giving her a verbal beatdown about how Gaia ''doesn't care'' about her petty causes.]]

* After defeating Black Canary, and talking up how easy it would be for Orange Lantern to beat any baseline human, Chesire gets one for being the first (and to date only) baseline human who has ever managed to defeat Orange Lantern. If it were possible for her to hide from him, she would have gotten away with it too.

* Paul gets a massive one in episode 16 where he shows off exactly what he can do when he not restraining himself. [[spoiler: As soon as he called the Ophidian, OL managed to fight back against the aliens that gave The Team such a hard time in canon. Bonus points is that he was actually winning a ''unwinnable simulation'']]

* Let's do a headcount of the members of The Light Orange Lantern has humiliated. Ocean Master? [[spoiler: disarmed, and after he got out of his coma, standing trial.]] Queen Bee? [[spoiler: Left a giant indestructible statue of his naked self in her desert.]] Ras Al Guhl? [[spoiler: Told his obedient daughter what happened to the daughter that wasn't so obedient, shot him in the head, then stole his Lazarus pit, neutralizing one of his island bases and stealing more data on the League of Shadows than the Justice League was prepared to handle on the way out.]] Klarion? [[spoiler: Despite being brutally maimed, he managed to steal Klarion's cat, his familiar, his tether to the material world, in short taking Klarion out of the picture entirely until the witch boy could find a new anchor.]] The Brain? [[spoiler: Sent him running from Luthor's secret genetics lab.]] Lex Luthor? [[spoiler: Luthor's such a MagnificentBastard that he came out on top anyway, bu Paul still managed to establish peace between North and South Rhelashia, ruining Luthor's plot to be at the forefront of both nation's arms races.]] So far, only Vandal Savage has not had any meaningful contact with OL, but the entirety of The Light knows exactly who he is, and what he is capable of, and none of them take him lightly.

* The Orange Lanterns get one for supposedly [[spoiler: being the main antagonists of Blackest Night in this 'verse]].

* Orange Lantern's CurbStompBattle with the [[MemeticBadass Sportsmaster]] is treated like this.

* His definitive moment of awesome was against Klarion the Witch Boy. Due to some multiverse science, Paul is extraordinarily weak against magic. So during the first round of fighting, Klarion fatally injures Paul. Dr. Fate tells him to stay out of the way, and it looks like even if he hadn't interfered, the fight would have been won like it was in canon anyway. But Paul doesn't know that, so even knowing that Klarion could kill him, he goes to help. With Fate's help, he manages to turn Teekl into an Orange Lantern, manipulating the demon cat even while [[Let'sGetSerious Klarion was trying to murder him]]. Klarion temporarily loses his connection with the physical world because of Orange Lantern.

* John Constantine wins a fight before he even steps into the arena.
