[[AC: Time and Punishment]]

[[AC: U.F.Foe]]

[[AC: Jail Bird]]

[[AC: Steerminator]]

* The climax of issue #8, [[spoiler:which features hundreds of Darkwings from across the multiverse attacking the giant Negaduck-Paddywhack fusion. Among others, we get to see a [[ComicBook/IronMan Iron Duck]] Darkwing, a {{Popeye}} Darkwing, and a {{Tron}} Darkwing.]]

* Toward the end of the episode when Darkwarrior finds he can't bring himself to shoot Gosalyn because he still cares about her, Launchpad gets the drop on him by knocking him out with a [[FryingPanOfDoom frying pan]], buying Gosalyn, Megavolt, and Quackerjack time to get back to the Time Top and return to the past so Gosalyn can prevent Darkwing Duck from becoming Darkwarrior Duck.

* The episode also shows Negaduck at his finest. The episode open with him one step ahead of Darkwing during a chase, using bombs and dropping a safe on him. He only stops for a moment when Darkwing asks if he's just acting out because he's not Public Enemy number one. Even then, Negaduck leaves Darkwing juggling [[CartoonBomb bombs]] ([[ChekhovsGun they were on sale.]]) The next day, Negaduck goes on a one man warpath across the city. From going on the rampage in a Monster Truck [[SquashedFlat to running Darkwing and Launchpad over]] [[TankGoodness in a tank.]] He even has Gosalyn at the end of her literal rope before Darkwing arrives during the final face off. Darkwing foils Negaduck's escape by stuffing his bike with cartoon bombs like the ones Negaduck used against him at the start of the episode. A hero is only as good as their adversary after all and Darkwing and Gosalyn prove their worth as heroes stopping Negaduck.
-->'''Darkwing:''' Hey Negaduck! [[IronicEcho Thanks for the tip about the two for one sale!]]

'''Liquidator:''' Are you under stress? Tired of the pitfalls of being a hero? What you need is... an all expenses paid trip to oblivion! ''(fires himself like an arrow toward Darkwing, who uncorks a ship in a bottle and holds it in the Liquidator's path, catching him and replacing the cork)''\\

'''Quackerjack:''' Ha ha ha! Missed me! ''(waggles his hands by the side of his head, but stops as Darkwing throws the other end of the spring over the other antler)''\\

-->'''Bulba''': Taurus Bulba works for no one, but himself!

** Doubling as a [[Funny/DarkwingDuck Funny Moment]], Darkwing getting some well-deserved revenge against Bushroot by telling Stegmutt, who's wondering how to fight a super villain: "[[BrickJoke Let's pretend Mr. Bushroot is on fire!]]"

-->'''Darkwing:''' spoiler: "Gladly."

* Defeating Solego the Chaos God at the end of the ''Legend of the Chaos God'' CrisisCrossover in ''DisneyAdventures''.

!!!DisneyAdventures

-->'''Darkwing''': Yeah? Well then, [[LetsGetDangerous let's]] ''[[LetsGetDangerous get]]'' [[LetsGetDangerous dangerous]]!''

-->'''Darkwing''': Yeah? Well then... [[LetsGetDangerous Let's Get Dangerous!]]

[[AC: The Quiverwing Quack]]

[[AC: Double Darkwings]]

[[AC:Darkly Dawns the Duck]]

* In the [[Recap/DarkwingDuckS1E1DarklyDawnsTheDuck premiere episode]], where DW and Launchpad are approaching BigBad Taurus Bulba's flying fortress, and Darkwing realizes they'll need to blast their way in.

* One for Launchpad. [[spoiler: In his hypnotic state]] he not only defeats [[NeverSmileAtACrocodile Gumbo]] easily, but [[spoiler: Darkwing as well using Darkwing’s own move against him! Sure, he was under a spell, but it's never said that the spell increased his capability -- it only invoked a FaceHeelTurn. The fact that he was willing to do it was the spell, but the fact that he ''could'' do it was all him.]]

[[AC:Darkwing Duck]]
* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oa3wlWzLli0 theme song]]. You just try not to sing along to it.
** It's even better [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZWgbF-u9nk&feature=related in the instrumental version]].

* In "Up, Up, And Awry," which Darkwing spends in a partial HeroicBSOD, lamenting his [[BadassNormal lack of superpowers]]... after originally asserting that "Super powers do ''not'' a hero make!" He eventually proves his point when [=GizmoDuck=] gets incapacitated by a giant magnet while Darkwing effortlessly defeats Megavolt with his wit, speed, and agility. -- Darkwing Duck actually [[BreakTheHaughty breaks another haughty]]!
-->'''[=GizmoDuck=]''': Without this suit, I'm nothing!
-->'''Darkwing Duck''': ''You'' may be nothing, but I'M NOT!
* Defeating the new cyborg Taurus Bulba. In a wheelchair.
** On a similar note, taking down Megavolt [[TemporaryBlindness while blind.]]

* The FinalBattle with the Bug Master.
* Passing Grizzlikoff's "tests," especially catching the rapid stream of bullets in his sleeve. "So... when does the test begin?"
** "Singed, but triumphant!"
* Remember the HumiliationConga the Fearsome Five give Darkwing in "Just Us Justice Ducks"? In "Jail bird", he defeats them all by himself. Using their own attacks!

* In "U.F.Foe", Darkwing manages to defeat [[spoiler: his own body even though he was just a brain at the time.]]
* This piece of dialogue:
--> '''Taurus Bulba:''' Tell me, Darkwing, are you wiling to ''DIE'' for them?
--> '''Darkwing Duck:''' ''Gladly.''

[[AC: Gosalyn Mallard]]
* In "Darkly Dawns the Duck", Gosalyn defeats Bulba's three henchmen by herself, using all the traps shown earlier in Darkwing's kitchen. Even more awesome when you realize she's completely humiliating the hitmen implied to have murdered her grandfather.
* The episode "Quiverwing Quack" might as well be called "Gosalyn's Crowning Episode of Awesome".

[[AC:Others]]
* In episode 22, [[spoiler: in his hypnotic state Launchpad not only defeats Gumbo easily, but Darkwing as well using Darkwing’s own move against him! Sure, he was under a spell, but it's never said that the spell increased his capability -- it only invoked a FaceHeelTurn. The fact that he was willing to do it was the spell, but the fact that he ''could'' do it was all him.]]
* A scary one, but Dark Warrior Duck's entrance in "Time and Punishment" is totally awesome. Especially the chilling variant on Darkwing's usual CatchPhrase that Creator/JimCummings belts out with all his might: "I am the terror that HUNTS in the night! I am the jackal that ''gnaws at your bones!'' I am Dark Warrior Duck!"
* The way Taurus Bulba threatens to drop Gosalyn to her death unless Darkwing gives him the arming code to the weapon he's stolen... a code he has ''no proof'' Darkwing has:
-->'''Darkwing Duck''': She never told me any code.
-->'''Taurus Bulba''': Hmmm, that's a real possibility. But I've always considered myself a gambling man.
** When Darkwing finally gives in, Bulba reminds him, "No tricks, or she'll make quite an ugly stain on the street." Most. Awesome. Villain. Ever. From ''a children's cartoon by Disney'', no less!
** Even after his plan is ruined, Bulba attempts to [[TakingYouWithMe take Darkwing with him.]] And it is awesome.
--->'''Taurus Bulba:''' I underestimated you once, '''Darkwing Duck'''. This time you '''''simply die.'''''
* The two-parter "Just Us Justice Ducks" was brilliant from top to bottom. Filled with hilarious {{Running Gag}}s and [[IronicEcho callbacks to previous quotes]].
** Negaduck's unhealthy obsession with [[DeathTrap "The Switch!"]]
** Negaduck splits the city among the Fearsome Five but keeps the loot for himself. His henchmen complain, so he pulls out a ''chainsaw.'' No more questions asked. What makes this really awesome is that one of the guys he just intimidated is ''made of water'', and completely immune to the chainsaw. He's just ''that'' scary.
* Steelbeak's delivery of his evil threat and blackmail demands in "Trading Faces".
* Morgana's defeat of a LovePotion-struck Negaduck at the end of "My Valentine Ghoul":
-->'''Morgana''': ''(flirtatiously)'' Care for a jaw-breaker, sweetums? ''(vengefully)'' One broken jaw, coming up! ''(punches him across the room)''
** Negaduck gets one during the episode by demonstrating why he's Darkwing's Numero Uno Arch enemy, by going after Darkwing and Morgana with a flamethrower that's powered by FROSTING.
-->'''Negaduck:''' Low Calorie. High Octane.
* Taurus Bulba gets another one in "Steerminator", immediately after being resurrected in his new, cyborg form:
-->'''FOWL High Command''': Welcome to the Fiendish Organization for World Lacerny, Agent Taurus Bulba!
-->'''Bulba''': Ha ha! I see I am expected to show you ''gratitude'', ha ha! After all, you allowed me to be part of your "great experiment" without annoying me with petty nuisances like ''getting my permission!''
-->'''Steelbeak''': [[OhCrap Er..I think we might have a slight problemo here!]]
-->'''Bulba''': So what if I must drink motor oil cocktails the rest of my life...I will have the honor of being the chief agent of FOWL, to humbly serve the rightful masters of the world! (evil chuckle) I think not!
-->(Bulba blasts FOWL high command monitor)
-->'''Bulba''': Taurus Bulba works for no one, but himself!

* In episode 22, [[spoiler: in his hypnotic state Launchpad not only defeats Gumbo easily, but Darkwing as well using Darkwing’s own move against him! Sure, he was under a spell, but that doesn’t make it any less awesome.]]

* During the Crisis On Infinite Darkwings crossover, Quivering Quack (from a reality where Darkwing takes up the mantle of Quivering Quack after Gosalyn is killed) faces off against Darkwarrior Duck... And wins.

--> "I am the terror that flaps in the night! I am the ''chill that runs up your spine!'' I AM DARKWING DUCK!" (blows up DoomsdayDevice)
*** Even before that, when Taurus Bulba has Gosalyn dropped off the building, Darkwing gets mad and punches him in the gut and smacks down with a blow to the head. Keep in mind Taurus Bulba is MUCH bigger than he is, and when they first fought, Bulba squashed him between his hands and left him for the police.

** "Aw, you dented my anvil."

* Remember the HumiliationConga the Fearsome Five give Darkwing in Just Us Justice Ducks? In "Jail bird", he defeats them all by himself. Using their own attacks!
* In U.F.Foe Darkwing manages to defeat [[spoiler: his own body even though he was just a brain at the time.]]

* In Comic #4: [[spoiler: Darkwing showing a supercharged Taurus Bulba just how much a PapaWolf he is when he threatens Gosalyn]]
--> ''[[spoiler: Bulba:]]'' [[spoiler: "[[EvilCannotComprehendGood No doubt you keep such poor company to have someone to listen to your dismal diatribes and declarations.]]]] [[spoiler: But tell me, are you willing to die for them?]]"
--> ''Darkwing:'' [[spoiler: "Gladly."]]
--> [[spoiler: Darkwing ricochets a gas capsule off a beam into Bulba, knocking them both out of a hovering base thousands of feet into the air.]]
** Ladies and Gentleman, Darkwing Duck is back.

* Issue 18: [[spoiler: {{Donald Duck}}]] coming to the aid of the corrupted Duckburg, and telling everyone to rage against the madness around them. [[spoiler: This throws Negaduck off enough so that he could do the next step in his diabolical plan. Which gets immediately thrashed by Darkwing.]]
