*** And even earlier than that, in the episode "Secret Society," shortly after the League [[spoiler:temporarily disbands on bad terms]], Flash is trying unsuccessfully to find the location of his personal villain, The Shade. He tries to interrogate several of Shade's known henchmen, with no luck. It culminates in him attempting to intimidate one thug by dangling him over the edge of a rooftop by his legs. Of course, the thug isn't intimidated and even mocks Flash's attempt at a Batman-style interrogation...but by this point Flash is utterly fed up (though his face doesn't show it).
--> '''Thug:''' Look, I know Batman. I once ratted out a counterfeiter to Batman. And believe me, you are no Batm-- ''(Flash drops him)'' [[OhCrap aaaAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH]]!!!

* Princess Katherine, from Disney's {{Gargoyles}} series, started out as a brat but ended up essentially giving up her whole world to protect the orphaned gargoyle eggs. Then, when Demona and MacBeth end up [[BrainwashedAndCrazy attacking the young gargoyles]], Katherine grabs [[DarkActionGirl Demona]]'s laser-rifle and knocks her out. To repeat, she ''beat Demona'' in a fight, with a weapon she'd never seen before that night, when she's never been seen fighting on-screen before. Everyone is very impressed.

** To be fair, it seems typical of all fairies. Sure, they're nice most of the time, with them being all about love. The first time Bloom got angry, she chased away the Trix and a couple dozens witches. At times Tecna is positively murderous, and (in the original version) can't understand the concept of fighting another day. And while the Earth Fairies are very nice when calm, when furious they become the FairFolk, genocidal tendencies included.

*** In the comic at least, his rant at Captain Haddock lasts for several pages, and includes shouting that he is not the CloudCuckooLander that everyone believed him to be. It ends in a CrowningMomentOfAwesome when he shows Captain Haddock the nuclear powered rocket as big as a skyscraper which he designed and built.
