Awesome / Countdown to Final Crisis

• Pied Piper, once armed with the Anti-Life Equation, kills Desaad in the name of Trickster, and blows up a planet by playing Queen's "The Show Must Go On". Hell yeah.
  • He didn't just blow up a planet. He blew up Apokolips, Darkseid's home planet and subverts Dying Moment of Awesome as well.
• Superboy-Prime fighting the Monarch, an incredibly powerful version of Captain Atom, and ripping open his containment armor, causing an explosion that destroys all of Earth-51 except for a single plant sprout and Nix Uotan. Superboy-Prime survives the event.
• The fact that its events were ultimately ignored by Final Crisis.
