Tear Jerker / Loonatics Unleashed

Go To

  • "The Comet Cometh" shows that all of the Loonatics were miserable one way or another before becoming superheroes. Lexi and Rev probably received the worst of it, with her being rejected during her university spirit squad audition due to the jealous head cheerleader, and him being a put-upon food delivery guy who got his pay cut for failing to deliver food in time over an absurdly long route.
  • Lexi's guilt in the episode "It Came from Outer Space." When Tech tells the team that Marvin would have better technology then them, Lexi's gasp says it all. Then when she walked away from the group after that.
  • Pinkster's Evil Gloating after he's already been defeated and Duck thinking how their fate could have easily been reversed if Duck hadn't used his two-headed coin...then Pinkster reveals he was counting on Duck using his two-headed coin to decide who got adopted by a well-off family, because Pinkster was ALREADY gearing up to be adopted by a pair of mobsters the next day. Imagine you haven't seen a childhood friend in decades that you secretly betrayed and now do everything to help them only to find not only are they using you, they were using you when you last saw them (the Fridge Horror here is that Pinkster didn't just count on Duck betraying him, but that Duck would feel regret over it and then do everything to makes amends). While the tone quickly shifts to humor, the look of shame, heartbreak, and betrayal all rolled into one on Duck's face is gut-wrenching!
