* Upon meeting Akhlys, the AnthropomorphicPersonification of Misery, OL tries to cheer her up and heal her wounds. It doesn't work, and in fact backfires, but she appreciates the effort while he plans on coming back to fix it properly later on.

** The Renegade/Grayven, and his acceptance of the Un-Men, even going out of his way to contribute to their cause of human augmentation, including hunting down some long-lost notes left behind by Anton Arcane.

* Mister Schreiber greets Orange Lantern warmly upon meeting him, recognizing him not for the Cake incident, but because he helped bring their children back. He also recognizes Rocket as one of the few non-white American heroes, and mentions that one of his daughters idolizes her.
** Schreiber violently and passionately rejecting his dubious "legacy" as the clone of Adolf Hitler.
** The fact that Schreiber is a completely normal family man and contributor to society. Adolf Hitler is dead, and burning in Hell as he so rightfully deserves, Schreiber is not him and never will be, he's effectively Hitlers long-lost twin, and maybe, what Hitler might have been if he hadn't allowed himself to be consumed by hate and bitterness. Tellingly, Schreiber is a professional architect, one of Hitlers failed ambitions.

* The Renegade has brought the extinct Tasmanian Tiger back to life through cloning.

It's one of the few times you see Ra's al Ghul happy about something.

* Marie Logan and Danni are in a romantic relationship, to the point where Marie is saved from her canon death because Danni... well, someone who controls people's minds with pheromones doesn't exactly fare well when facing a robot with [[KillItWithFire fire powers]] [[NoSell who doesn't have pheromones.]]

* The Renegade pays a visit to [[TheDreaded Darkseid]] on Apokolips, why? Because he needs a Green Lantern to save Alan's life. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, [[YouAreTooLate he's too late]].]]

** When the Amazons see him at the embassy, alive and healed, they rush to hug him. Wonder Woman thinks she has to break the sad news of Alan's condition to Paul, but when the realization sinks in that it's all fixed, she immediately ''flies through her own door'' to greet Alan.
--> "Ambient hope detected. Charging. Charge: ninety eight percent."

* For Adom's wedding, Paul brought back friends of Adom's first life thousands of years ago: Lord Rama Khan, Prince Khufu, and Chay-ara, all of whom Paul took the time to find and, in the latter two's cases, remind of their former lives.

* The Renegade finds and comforts Party Pooper, the last Pinky Pie clone that wasn't returned to the Mirror Pool.

* OL's very first "case" so to speak. When en route to Themyscira to take an oath to Gaia swearing allegiance to Wonder Woman for a year in return for Alan Scott's personal Lantern, Paul assists Wonder Woman in defusing a hostage situation where a flock of harpies had taken a group of tourists hostage out of desperation due to Greek fishing boats depleting their food source. After solving the situation non-violently, Paul simply observes the human children playing with the harpies' offspring, using his rings translator function to allow all parties to interact peacefully.
* When Orange Lantern accidentally uses lethal force on Clayface, he suffers a huge crisis of morality that borders on a HeroicBSOD, and is quite convinced that Batman and the rest of the League are going to kick him off the Team, if they don't outright arrest him for accidental manslaughter. When he voices this fear, it's ''[[ThouShaltNotKill Batman]]'' who comforts him and tells him that he did the best he could, that he did nothing that anyone on the League, himself included, wouldn't have done, and he even helps him realize that there might be hope for Clayface to be revived.

* Paul's Christmas prank on Artemis: he gives her an envelope to give to an old couple. The old couple reads it, which is documentation that proves their relation to Artemis. Their relation? They're her paternal grandparents and they are pretty ecstatic to meet her.

** Later on, after Shiruta is attacked by soldiers with Apokoliptian technology, Adom ends up annihilating the entire old government.

Adom agrees to let himself be guided until he cools down.

* Marie Logan and Danni are in a romantic relationship, to the point where Marie is saved from her canon death because Danni... well, someone who controls people's minds with pheromones doesn't exactly fare well when faced against a robot with [[KillItWithFire fire powers]] [[NoSell who doesn't have pheromones.]]

** Paul revisits them just before he leaves for Vega, and Iola is now almost ready to give birth, with a healthy daughter in utero. The other Amazons have been giving her long-dormant advice based on their own pregnancies from thousands of years ago. Iola and Tekla's daughter is set to be the first natural child on Themiscyra in 2000 years, and she's only the first, as Paul offhandedly mentions that several other couples and even a polyamorous group asked him for help as well.

Adom agrees to let himself be guided until he cools down.

* The Renegade is so compassionate to Lynne Wayland. When he sees the damage that the Anti-Life has left on her soul, he sacrifices part of his own to heal her. He does this for no other reason than to help a little girl recover from a traumatic experience.
* The first place Sisken visits after getting a {{Golem}} body is visit his parents. His father is just happy to learn he's alive in some form.

* A lowkey one, but there's something heartwarming about Paul and Hal just sharing stories about their love lives, especially since they were rather at odds with each other most of the time before then.

* When Wally admits that he's afraid that he's going to be dealing with his [[BigEater eating disorder]] for the rest of his life if they can't find a way to fix his Speed Formula, Jay Garrick puts his hand on Wally's shoulder and promises him that they'll find a way to help him.
--> '''Jay Garrick:''' It's okay Wally. We'll work this out together.

* For all his faults and poor choices, the Renegade gets one of the [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold sweetest moments in the series]] when he proposes to his girlfriend. She happens to be a career assassin, and he proposes on the way to a meeting with Ra's al Guhl so he can discuss betraying the Justice League to them, but hey, the moment was beautiful.

* When Sunset is finally ready to become an alicorn, she has both the Renegade and Circe there to support her. She doesn't say it, but it's obvious that she's thankful that they're there and have helped her get to this point.

** Another for the Grayven. When he, Kon, and Megan work together to free Kon's brother Match. It's especially heartwarming when they all start to fly to make him feel not alone, and Megan offers to teach him about carrots.

* Mr. Miracle and Big Barda of Earth 50 track down Grayven and attack him as soon as they get him away from civilians. Why? Not for blowing up the president, but because he left Ace in another dimension after effectively making her his daughter. After realizing how significant his actions were, he immediately adopts her. She spends her first night in Challenger Mountain sleeping on top of him, and the morning after they go to fly a kite.
** Further, when Darkseid uses a fragment of the Anti-Life Equation on Grayven, basically [[MindRape erasing all his emotions]], he immediately goes to the Zamarons to return Love to him because he cannot stand being unable to love his daughter.

* Grayven has brought the extinct Tazmanian Tiger back to life through cloning. The first litter of pups are currently being raised by a pair of African wild dogs in a nature preserve, so they'll develop the correct hunting skills and social behavior.
