The Series

    General 
  • The impressive amount of teamwork the Flex Fighters show every fight. They pull off amazing combinations with their powers despite not having them for long and without telling the others what they’re planning. They all move and work together like a well-oiled superhero machine. Even after the trio and Blindstrike decide to team up, she often contributes at least as much as they do to the action.

    Episode 1: Confessions of a Teenage Superhero 
  • The first glimpse at the Flex Fighters in action has them use their powers to work together, using Stretch as a slingshot to launch a truck at Multi-Farious. This feat even appears again in the next episode, when the story cycles back to that fight.
  • The Team's second Battle with Multi-Farious has each Flex Fighter get a good hit into him, before finishing him off with a team maneuver by slamming a bus in the face.
  • The Pre-Flex Fighters escaping from & Kane The Delta Team. And this is before they even learn to properly use their powers.
  • Rook trying to talk down Multi-Farious. It doesn't work, but it takes courage and great decency of him to make such an attempt.
  • Stretch saving Rook while Wingspan saves his pilot and Omni-Mass saving the hover chopper itself.

    Episode 2: Pulled in Every Direction 
  • Jake is shown running down a track at school, and quickly discovers how having Rubber Man powers can help with that.

    Episode 3: Ninja and the Ghost 
  • Stretch and Blindstrike duel atop a train, which the Flex Fighters afterwards stop from speeding out of control. Hasbro even used this sequence as a teaser at a convention.

    Episode 10: Crisis at the Cleo 
  • Nathan accidentally sends some robots rampaging, but several of his classmates and teachers — including Mr. Savic, Malouf, and Erika — manage to fend them off. Erika even takes the chance to knock Gabe's ego down a peg: He boasts that his skills in stage fighting could protect her, until she grabs the pole from his hands, and uses her "field hockey skills" to whack apart the robot herself.

    The Breakout 
  • Multi-Farious proves a worthy ally against Quick Charge, insulating the Flex Fighters from her electric attacks, and breaking himself up into living projectiles.
  • Some scenarios have Dr. C send the Flex Fighters to help Blindstrike capture the Freak Sisters, only for Blindstrike to trap both sisters before the boys arrive.

    Episode 14: The New Normal 
  • Mechanica outsmarts Blindstrike with a fake Infogem.

    Episode 15: Dr. Dreamscape 
  • Wingspan manages to defeat Dr. Dreamscape both in his Dream Land, and in reality.
    • In the dream, Wingspan changes the demonic Dr. Dreamscape into a baby, then restrains him inside a Flexarium high chair.
    • After Wingspan awakens, he quickly dodges a punch from the doctor, then knocks him out in one punch.
  • Nathan telling Erika about his double life, even if the immediate results prove less happy than in his dream, takes a lot of guts on his part, especially with Jake and Ricardo still refusing to tell anyone their secrets.

    Episode 23: Doomsday Clock 
  • Dr. C taking on Kane in hand-to-hand combat. She DID train Riya, after all.

The Trailers

  • The end of the first season's full trailer has an awesome montage of each member of the team using their powers individually.
    • Wingspan diving mid-glide to kick a Tech Man and then quickly gliding away before his buddies have a chance to retaliate.note 
    • Stretch jumping off the roof of a building, only to grab the ledge with his hand and let his arm stretch out, so he can slingshot back and cannonball himself into a bunch of Tech Men.note 
    • Omni Mass delivering a super-sized punch to the camera.note 
    • Culminating in the awesome shot of the team traveling above a street with Wingspan gliding, Omni Mass jumping from rooftop to rooftop, and Stretch using his extendible limbs to swing like Spider-Mannote
