History Awesome / MichaelVey

* Shannon Vey throwing a brick at Hatch for all the pain he’s put her through. The lead up is also good as it makes readers think she’ll throw it at her faking-the-dead husband, Carl.

* [[spoiler: Michael’s HeroicSacrifice during the climax of Book 6. With their forces being mowed down by Elgen soldiers and with few places to run, Michael decides enough is enough and starts climbing the giant lightning tower in the center of the island. He then shouts at the sky, [[RageAgainstTheHeavens daring the gods to strike him]]. And they do. The narration then clearly states that, for a brief fraction of a second, [[ShockingMoments Michael. Held. Lightning.]] When he releases it, [[FantasticNuke it’s with a force equal to the atomic bomb.]] The entire Elgen fleet is either capsized, set on fire, or both. Any soldiers still on the island are completely vaporized. Those at sea are left blinded by the explosion. The sand of the beaches is turned to glass. Once the chaos settles, surviving Tuvaluan natives start bowing their heads to the ground and chanting in their native tongue, [[PhysicalGod worshipping Michael like a god.]] Even Hatch can barely comprehend what just happened, and is [[DrivenToMadness reduced to manic ranting]] by the time his guards haul him to safety. And as Book 7 proves, the act itself didn’t even kill Michael! It made him [[AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence become a being of pure energy!]] Hatch was right, Michael is, without question, the most powerful of the Glows.]]

* Hatch tries to break Michael by having Tara pose as Taylor and say her claiming him as her boyfriend was a ploy to lure him to the Elgen. Despite [[ICantBelieveAGuyLikeYouWouldNoticeMe his past insecurity]] and his brain fog from the resat, Michael gets a last one over on Hatch by telling him to inform Tara that he knows she and Taylor are twins, and that Taylor is still prettier.
