5* The concept itself of this crossover, and the fact that both companies were able to work together. These are the companies' two most beloved and iconic characters, after all.
6* Superman beats Lex by flooding his submarine.
7* Peter calling Jameson out:
8-->'''Jameson:''' Do you know why I never gave you a vacation?\
9'''Peter:''' No, Sir.\
10'''Jameson:''' Because you're NOT hard-working -- NOT diligent -- AND there are TIMES, Peter old boy -- when I'm not even sure you're a photographer!\
11'''Peter:''' Oh, yeah? Oh, yeah? I've had it with you, Jameson! One minute you're Mr. Glad-Hand, the working boy's friend -- the next, you put the knife in! Well, maybe that's okay for the rest of your staff -- but it isn't for me! NOT ANYMORE! I'm through being stepped on! You want me, Jameson -- find me!
12* The fight between Superman and Spider-Man. And Superman's final punch.
13** At the start of the fight, ''before'' Lex empowers Spidey with Red sun radiation, Spider-Man still manages to dodge one of Superman's punches.
14** And when the radiation wears off, Superman just [[NoSell No Sells]] Spidey's barrage of punches.
15* Superman uses his photographic memory and SuperSpeed to reassemble a blown-up super-computer in the blink of an eye.
16 * Clark and Peter team up to contain a brainwashed enemy: Peter webs him and Clark's heat vision hardens his web.
17-->'''Spider-Man:''' Y'know, Supes – as a team, we're not half bad!
18* During the climax, Superman has to stop a tsunami heading towards the US East Coast. Spider-Man tells him to get a move on, assuring that he'll deal with both villains. Supes stops the ''one-mile-high, two-hundred-miles-long'' tidal wave by flying in front of the wave, shattering the sound barrier over and again until he creates a massive wall of sound which blocks the tsunami. Meanwhile, Spidey manages hold the line by turning the two villains against one another and knocks Lex Luthor out after Lex has pummeled Otto.
19** Doc Ock's HeelFaceTurn when Spidey reminds him that if Luthor swamps the world, he'll have no way to enjoy his ill gotten riches.
20** If you're RootingForTheEmpire, then there's the fact that Lex Luthor manages to defeat ''Otto Octavius'', something Spidey has extreme difficulty doing on his best days, in fairly short order only to be [[WorfEffect worfed]] at the end by Spidey himself.
