History Heartwarming / TheSupermanAdventures

* At the end of issue 25, Batgirl asks Batman how he feels about Superman fighting crime using his own methods in Gotham City. Batman answers that in a place like Gotham, having a hero like [[HopeBringer Superman]] show up to help once in a while is most welcome.

* Superman has a busy day full of things such as preventing an innocent man's execution, saving a group of hostages, and flying a woman in mid-delivery to the hospital. Yet in the middle of all this, he still hears a boy's plea to find his lost dog - "if it wouldn't be too much trouble" - and he ''does''.

* Livewire's whole arc throughout the series. While her animated debut was kinda one-dimensional, here she gets a full redemption arc, with her teaming up with Superman and saving the Earth ''twice'', and doing the same for Superman himself. By the end, she's come around to even liking the Man of Steel (though she denies completely that his influence rubbed off on her). And even though her [[BroughtDownToNormal total power loss]] lasts for all of two pages, she's fully reformed and ready to be a hero herself.

* "Fury at the Earth's Core": The reader gets a panel of Superman's thoughts during a dangerous moment: his parents (both the Kents and Jor-El and Lara), Batman, Supergirl, Lana Lang, Professor Hamilton, Perry, Lois, and Jimmy.

-->'''Father''': I'm ''glad'' Patch came home, but Superman's been all over the news this morning. How could a guy like him find the time to track down a ''missing dog'' when he was saving practically the ''whole world'' last night?
-->'''Kid''': Dont'cha ''get'' it dad? He's ''Superman!''
* A teenager who admires [[{{Irony}} both Superman and Lex Luthor]] recounts a similar incident. He saw Supes helping with the evacuation of a factory that's about to blow, and just after it's said that all the workers are out, he dashes back into the factory...and returns carrying the pet of one of the employees. The young man talks about how admirable it is that Superman would go to such lengths over something that small.

* Same goes for one of Livewire's reappearances, when Luthor zapped her and left her "hardly breathing." The Man of Steel is such a NiceGuy that he even cares about his RoguesGallery.

* "[[http://comiccoverage.typepad.com/comic_coverage/2008/09/the-highlight-reel-22-stories-in-a-single-bound.html While You Were Sleeping]]". The story shows various inhabitants of Metropolis at night, dreaming of various things...And then it shows that Superman [=/=] Clark Kent isn't in bed. He's still up watching over the city.

** As a crowd watches the doctor prepare to give Superman (who's incredibly close to death at this point) the antidote, a look to the side shows {{ComicBook/Jimmy|Olsen}} yelling at him to hurry it up.

** {{ComicBook/Lois|Lane}}' closing piece about heroes and Superman in particular just melts the heart.

* Mxy having compassion on Lois, Jimmy, and the Kents who are stuck in the middle of a BadFuture because he meddled with the Man of Steel as Superboy. Mxy is such a jerk most of the time, but just this once, he undoes his mischief.

* "If I Ruled the World". When it looks as though Parasite has zapped Mxy, Superman yells at him for it. He may not like the exasperating little imp, but that doesn't mean he wants him dead. Same goes for one of Livewire's reappearances, when Luthor zapped her and left her "hardly breathing." The Man of Steel is such a NiceGuy that he even cares about his RoguesGallery.

-->'''Father''': Look, kiddo, I'm as happy [about the dog being back] as you are, but Superman was saving the whole world yesterday. I don't see how...
-->'''Kid''': Don't you see, dad? He's Superman!

-->''''Father''': Look, kiddo, I'm as happy [about the dog being back] as you are, but Superman was saving the whole world yesterday. I don't see how...

* "Distant Fires": Superman denying Brainiac's assertions that information is more valuable than people (because eventually, all people will be is information) and giving him an [[SadisticChoice ultimatum]] -- let Lois go or he smashes the globe of Krypton's memories. It may be all he has of his home planet, but when Big Blue says that he'll destroy it over the life of a mortal woman, Brainac believes him -- and so do we.
