1* The Great Turtle busting up a heroin ring in ''Literature/WildCardsI'', redeeming Doctor Tachyon from alcoholism, and rescuing Angel Face in a single night. The Great and Powerful Turtle indeed. Really, the Turtle is a walking SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome.
2** Also when asked 'are you an Ace or a Joker?' he simply answers: 'yes'.
3** When there was a debate about whether the strongest Ace was Golden Boy or the Harlem Hammer, another character ruminated on what a ridiculous question it was, because those guys had strength in roughly the 40-ton range. The Turtle had once lifted a ''battleship'' out of the water. And even that is nothing compared to what he did [[spoiler:at the climax of ''Dealer's Choice''. He held back ''the Hudson River'' until it was essentially a tidal wave strong enough to wipe Ellis Island off the map.]]
4* [[spoiler:Dolores Michel (Our Lady of Pain), channeled through Cameo, getting revenge on the Radical (who had killed her in ''Busted Flush'') by returning the pain she'd taken from him when she'd healed him. With interest.]]
