Saving just the world would be an understatement...

Moment Subpages are Spoilers Off. You Have Been Warned.

    open/close all folders 

    Volume One 

  • King Mob's rescue of Dane in Issue #1. He blasts in Harmony House, blows the guards' brains out, kills Mr. Gelt and destroys the lab hidden under Harmony House. Establishing Character Moment indeed.
  • KM and Boy manage to defeat three Myrmidon. This is more awesome when you see it, because they're fighting in a very small room and only Gideon is armed: He shoots the first one, jumps across the room to hide behind a door from which he guns down the second, and then Boy throws her cap to distract the third one so he can be killed by KM too.
  • Lord Fanny vs. Orlando, from Issue #8. On one corner we have an shamanic bruja/Aztec priestess to the Aztec pantheon who can channel their power. On the other corner, a Psycho for Hire sociopath sadistic murderer who escaped Mictlan and believes himself to be Xipo Totec. Fanny wins by letting herself be possesed by Mictlantecuhtli's power and vanishing Orlando back to Mictlan.
  • After coming back from 120 Days of Sodom/18th century France, they find themselves weaponless and with a squad of Myrmidon approaching. How do they fight? First they pretend to be dead and King Mob pretends to be Orlando wearing KM's face. Using that he manages to use the demon's knife to stab one of the men, while Boy kicks another one dead. Gideon then steals one of the Myrmidon's guns and shoot the rest dead.
  • Speaking of Fanny, managing to escape Mictlan by making Mictlantecuhtli laugh. And she was only a child!
    ''What are pink, wrinkled and stiff and make women squeal?" note 
  • Issue 16. Dane is living in the street, and is suddenly attacked by the men of Sir Miles. Little do they know he has recently been empowered by Barbelith and now has access to an array of psychic powers... He beats each of them and utterly humilliates Sir Miles using the power of desobedience.
  • Jim Crow. On his first appearence he succesfully stops an evil pharmaceutical corporation's plan of possessing black men and comitting crimes in their bodies by making the Scorpion Loa possess them and turn them into brain dead blackface performers devouring their most recent member. He later reappears to track down where KM and Fanny are trapped and utterly demolishes the Outer Church's minions in a Curb-Stomp Battle. In his final appearence, he breaks into the Dulce base and serves as a distraction. How? By threatening to kill all south-east coast with a supervirus. In the future it is implied he becomes a religious lider of a Voodoo church in Chicago.
  • Sir Miles is torturing King Mob, emotionally breaking him and is very close to discovering where the Invisible College trains its members. On the cell next door, Fanny is being kept, waiting for her hour. And suddenly, Delacourt discovers that Kirk is just a shield personality. KM has weaponized his own mind! Delacourt is now trapped inside KM's memories. Meanwhile, Fanny has made a voodoo doll of Sir Miles and is remotely controlling him! The two have succesfully thwarted an attack on the Invisible College using only their own memories and a handkerchief.
  • Dane beats the King-In-Chains. How? By meditating on a circle and resisting all temptations to go outside. The Archon dissolves like a droplet of ink in water.

    Volume Two 
  • The assault on the Dulce base. Jolly Roger, Ragged Robin, Boy and KM are singlehandedly beating the guards of the most important base in the planet, while Jack Frost and Lord Fanny are outside keeping them safe through masturbatory magic. Even when Quimper possesses Roger's mind, she manages to escape in a similar fashion to King Mob weaponizing his own mind and almost killing Quimper. They blow up the hybrid factory and secret technology in the base and escape with a Bond One-Liner.
    A fuck you will do enough.
  • Boy resisting her brainwashing and not executing King Mob. During the whole story, Boy has been portrayed as a bit of a Magically Inept Fighter, a good martial artist but not in touch with her magic side. And here, after mind screw after mind screw trying to make her believe she is a double agent of the Outer Church she is able to ultimately break free. Made slightly less awesome by the revelation of all the brainwashing actually being a deprogramming session done by another cell of the Invisibles and Boy was never in real danger.
  • What's more awesome than the raid to the Dulce base? Doing it a second time! With Jim Crow!
  • Quimper has possessed Ragged Robin. He's infected the memory of her father abusing her and will use it to control her into betraying the team. Robin has started wearing Quimper's mask, a sign that she's fully under his control. During the second assault to Dulce, she reveals the truth: This whole mission, Fanny has been dressed as Rags and is impersonating her. Fanny deduced the identity of Quimper and created a fake memory so Quimper would think he's controlling Rags when they're actually controlling him. Fanny then forces Quimper to accept who he is in a brilliant "The Reason You Suck" Speech and kills him.
  • Mason Lang gets one when he reveals he's been buidling backdoors into all the software he has been selling to the US government. He later out-gambits them by giving them a defectuous copy of the timesuit.

    Volume Three 
  • King Mob converting to pacifism and not using guns again and Jack Frost accepting his role as humanity's saviour shows how much they've grown and matured as people.
  • Helga utterly breaking Sir Miles' and making him crap his pants in fear. She might be the 11th-Hour Ranger but girl's got skills. Did we mention she did this just by talking?
  • The Invisible's final attack to the Outer Church during the coronation of the Moonchild, serving as a culmination of the series. Special mention goes to Mr. Six forcing Sir Miles to commit suicide.
    I just saved the world, Jacqui.
  • Dane recruting Reynard the same way Jon Six recruited him so many years ago. If the finale quote doesn't make you smile, you mustn't been paying atention:
    Jack Frost: * Refering to the blank pin he received from Tom during his initiation * Or are you trying to tell me you don't know what this means?
  • King Mob's final confrontation with the Rex Mundi, the King Archon. He doses it with logoplasm, the same substance used on him all those years ago and makes him pop... by using the word "pop!" in a toy gunnote
