History Awesome / MonicasGang

* Monica does TheUnexpected in #68: After participating of a ''Franchise/{{Saw}}''-themed Reality Show, having Jim act like a complete SmugSnake JerkJock to [[CommanderContrarian Nick Nope]] and treating Monica like a DamselInDistress and trolling Monica when she needed him the most, she finally snaps when Jim starts poking at Nick Nope saying Monica'll never kiss him like he wanted to if he won, tells him where to shove it and kisses Nick Nope ''in front of everyone''. And Monica tops it by saying "Monica and Jim? Promised couple? Today, that cliché ends as well!", thus adressing ''many'' readers' dissatisfaction to the WillTheyOrWontThey between Monica and Jim and giving Jim a ''much'' needed serving of HumblePie.

* The extent of Monica's SuperStrength. She can lift huge boulders, bread down walls with a plushie rabbit and even lift a car effortlessly. [[PintsizedPowerhouse Monica is ''6'']].

** In the same issue, Franklin and Astro turning the tides on Princess Mimi's armada through a mere coin flip that reveals that most of the armada's ships are holograms made as an intimidation tactic. Because the coin fell normally on the floor, with no gravitational anomalies that would normally be caused by so many ships gathered around them, allowing them to seize victory through a simple EMP that makes the holograms disappear. Score one for science!
* A Meta moment for Mauricio de Sousa Produções, for braving the controversy that followed a misinterpreted line from Monica in Issue #94 that earned rage from anti-feminist groups and extreme conservatives.

* From the official {{Crossover}} with Creator/DCComics, in December 2018/January 2019:

** There is a story where Monica defeats THOR (the [[NorseMythology mythological]] version). He miscalculates while throwing his hammer at a giant, and it lands on Earth, more precisely on Smudge's foot. When Thor comes to get his hammer back, he finds Smudge and Monica, and ends up insulting her...you can guess what happened next.

* [[spoiler:Future!]]Sunny's TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to Jim [[spoiler: after the latter's ambition-driven curiosity gets him cursed, and Monica, Smudge and Maggy killed temporarily]] is one of the most glorious moments in the entire Monica franchise:
--> '''[[spoiler:Future!]]Sunny''': I came here to save the world from Jim! He's much more dangerous alive than dead! Believe me! (sizes Jim up) All you had to do was a documentary for the school! It could be about anything else! But what was the great Jim's idea!? You convinced your friends to investigate the donkey's legend! You knew of the dangers, but didn't warn anyone!

--> '''[[spoiler:Future!]]Sunny''': It wasn't just that! It was your pride and prepotency that that lured the girl of the lake! All because of your massive ego!

'''[[spoiler:Future!]]Sunny''': [[TranquilFury Hero? Your arrogance has no limits, has it?]] Since you were a child, you only used your mind for evil. For your infallible plans, to manipulate the gang, to defeat Monica...Face the facts! You were always the VILLAIN!
* Earlier in the story, when the gang makes a band and Jim is using [[BlandNameProduct Voice-a-loid]] software to give the band's performance a boost and with it, an increase in fame as part of his plan to prove to Monica she can rely on him, Smudge and Maggy's relationships with their [=SOs=] are suffering for their particular reasons. When Maggy has enough of doing little more than provide voice clips for the band and Jim disregarding the whole band sans Monica for the sake for proving himself to her, she walks away angrily and Monica chases her and tries to explain that Jim is only looking out for the band, Maggy argues back and says that he's only looking out for her. Note, this takes place after a Monica's huge KickTheDog moment in Issue #34. So when Monica chastises Maggy for talking about Jim the way she is because she is jealous, Maggy completely loses it and gives this gem of a WhatTheHellHero to Monica:

* Jim calling Monica out on her bad attitude in the [[DeathNote Laugh Note]] arc:

** Smudge gets two in the same issue: The first one is when he calls Dustine out on how she previously bitched at the gang for endangering Smudge's life and yet later on bitching at Smudge for only coming back to talk to her after she was caught in a fire and he did nothing to save her (He actually was, as Captain Fray); The second one is when after Fray reveals his plan, Smudge angrily shouts at him that he could have a chance to start anew when he lost his powers, but he chose to stick to his evil ways. [[spoiler: This becomes VERY tragic when the Inverse Tower arc reveals that Captain Fray is indeed Smudge's uncle and that he got his powers through a DealWithTheDevil after his parents were killed in a landslide...because if he hadn't, the responsible entities have gone after Smudge instead.]]

* Nick Nope, to make his friends see that [[Creator/RobertDowneyJr Roberto Daniel Junior]] is being used as a front for ArmyTech's stealth weapon merchandising, acts like a massive fanboy and eventually takes a prototype [[ComicBook/IronMan Golden Armor suit]]. [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness This completely out of character moment instantly tips the rest of the gang that something is off with the whole situation with said actor]].
** Monica does a similar thing to the JustinBieber {{Expy}} Julinho Baby after he breaks Maria Mello's heart. By acting like a crazy fangirl in front of the stage and doing everything a fan does that annoys him, she makes his facade slip and ends up exposing him as the arrogant, selfish and entitled brat with no regard to his fans in front of all of them.

* Monica's battle against Princess [[ALittleBitBeastly Usagi]] [[MeaningfulName Mimi]] in the "Bright of a Pulsar" arc. Monica [[NoSell shrugs off]] all of Usagi's ray attacks through brute force alone and then getting Usagi to back down through the simple mention of her robot companion. The girl EARNED the "Resilient" moniker that was attributed to her throughout the arc.

* In Issue#94, Maggy calling Monica out on her being stubborn about using bracers despite the harm her teeth is causing her and Nick Nope encouraging her behaviour. Later on, Jim's YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre speech to Monica about how there is more to her identity than her teeth. [[spoiler:And as it turns out, the cause of the problem were her growing wisdom teeth, not her famous incisors.]]

** [[spoiler:Marina and Nick Nope]] (separately) temporarily become ComicBook/{{Green Lantern}}s.
** Monica easily defeats [[spoiler: an Amazon in [[Franchise/WonderWoman Themyscira]]]].
** Batman reveals that he knows about Jimmy's adventures. Jimmy, in turn, deduces that [[spoiler: Batman is Bruce Wayne, although Alfred accidentally gave him a hint]].
** Although Smudge still doesn't like water, he helps [[spoiler:ComicBook/{{Aquaman}} after the latter was affected by the pollution of the monster mentioned below]].
** The Gang and the Comicbook/JusticeLeague team-up to defeat [[spoiler: a giant monster made of sea pollution, powered by the unconscious Franchise/{{Superman}} and Captain Fray.]]

** In the same issue, Franklin and Astro turning the tides on Princess Mimi's armada through a mere coin flip that reveals that most of the armada's ships are holograms made as an intimidation tactic. Because the coin fell normally on the floor, with no gravitational anomalies that would normally be caused by so many ships gathered around them, allowing them to seize victory through a simple EPM. Score one for science!

* Isabel has a minor yet prevalent one in a story where Bucky was very intent on charming [[GirlOfTheWeek a new girl]]. She's usually portrayed as the ClingyJealousGirl in the comics (to the point that in one old comic she asked resident TeenGenius Franklin to do something about her jealousy, since it was ''that'' bad), and though we never see how her fights with Bucky end, her usual NightmareFuel faces when she sees him hitting on someone usually means bad news for Bucky. However in this specific story, perhaps due to CharacterDevelopment, after seeing Bucky flirting with a new girl and confronting them, she acts so surprisingly mature that because of her previous characterization it instantly turns it into a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome.

'''Isabel (in a completely calm tone)''': I am civilized, but I'm not your girl friend. Besides, I already understood everything.
** And then she walks away, and to crown it, Bucky, who spent the entire story hitting on the unnamed girl up that to point, immediately runs off the panel after Isabel, crying her name.
** Isabel gets another one when her jealousy gets the best of her yet again. She freaks out at Bucky because he was holdings hands with a girl and strolling with her and the girl kissed him at the end. She clobbers Bucky before he gets a chance to explain himself. Isabel runs into the girl, who wears sunglasses and dresses fashionably, and openly mocks her choice of attire. The girl is none other than Doreen, the ''blind'' girl that dresses the way she does as a way of coping with her blindness. Isabel then realizes that Bucky was holding her hand because he was helping the blind Doreen get home. After a powerful MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment, Isabel apologizes to Doreen and Bucky, owns up to her mistakes and learns to not jump to conclusions. Quite the CharacterDevelopment for the ClingyJealousGirl.

* Todd gets yet ANOTHER one when Isabel and Bucky break up and Isabel decides to not call Bucky for a while and no one bothers to let him know of that because according to Maggy he needs to truly feel how he misses Anna and through that, understand how badly he messed up. Todd is the one to let Bucky know about it and after Maggy shouts at him for blowing things up out of, in her words "feeling sorry for a shameless jerk who lied to his girlfriend", leading to this:

** And he turns out to be right because the reason Bucky and Isabel argued in the first place was because Isabel saw text messages from another girl on his phone and Bucky just remained silent about the whole thing. The sender was Irene, who texted Bucky because she wanted to be friends with the gang but Monica never allows it that to happen because of her InspectorJavert jealousy of her and he remained silent when the texts were discovered so Irene wouldn't get in trouble for his mistake. Granted, there were other issues separate from that which contributed to their definite break up, but it doesn't change the fact the girls jumped the gun about the whole thing without hearing Bucky's side of the story.

* Nick Nope, to make his friends see that [[Creator/RobertDowneyJr Roberto Daniel Junior]] is being used as a front for ArmyTech's stealth weapon merchandising, acts like a massive fanboy and eventually takes a prototype [[IronMan Golden Armor suit]]. [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness This completely out of character moment instantly tips the rest of the gang that something is off with the whole situation with said actor]].

** [[spoiler: Nick Nope]] temporarily becomes a ComicBook/GreenLantern.

* Annie has a minor yet prevalent one in a story where Bucky was very intent on charming [[GirlOfTheWeek a new girl]]. She's usually portrayed as the ClingyJealousGirl in the comics (to the point that in one old comic she asked resident TeenGenius Franklin to do something about her jealousy, since it was ''that'' bad), and though we never see how her fights with Bucky end, her usual NightmareFuel faces when she sees him hitting on someone usually means bad news for Bucky.
