History Awesome / SuperCrooks2021

* The Gladiator Vs Praetoria is a total CurbStompBattle in Gladiator’s favor. Despite Praetorian’s massive array of powers, Gladiator is just too powerful and overpowers the false hero with one good punch.

** The way Johnny and his crew take down Man Mountain. First, Johnny zaps him [[GroinAttack between his legs]]. Then Frostbite hits him in the face with an ice blast. Finally, Kismet uses his [[WindsOfDestinyChange bad luck powers]] to make several aircraft fall on Man Mountain's head.

* Since the Ghost was unable to crack the code to TK's restraints, Johnny uses his powers to fry the plane's systems. The Ghost isn't worried about dying in the crash because of his powers leaving the guards with the choice of giving him the code so TK can save them with his {{Telekinesis}} or dying when the plane crashes. The guard gives up the code.

** To distract the Union, the gang has Forecast and TK simulate a zombie attack in Pittsburgh. Forecast creates a thunderstorm for dramatic effect, while TK uses his powers to '''animate an entire cemetery’s worth of corpses as zombies''', even using the body of an old enemy of the Utopian as the one to take the fall. Creepy? Yeah. Disgusting? Definitely. Awesome? '''Hell Yes.'''

* Captured by the Bastard and Praetorian and injected with a truth serum, Kasey delivers an epic TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to the Bastard, basically calling out as the {{Sociopath}} he is.

* The Gladiator Vs Praetorian. A total CurbStompBattle in Gladiator’s favor. Despite Praetorian’s massive array of powers, Gladiator is just too powerful and overpowers the false hero with one good punch.

** Considering they had blackmailed him into helping them, one can't help but side with the Gladiator when he lets the Praetorian rough up Johnny and the gang for a while while he just sits back and has a smoke.

* The Praetorian takes down Johnny's team with [[CurbStompBattle almost contemptable ease.]]
** He uses fire breath to overcome Frostbite's ice and then demolishes him with superstrong kicks.

** Roddy keeps the Gladiator distracted, while the Ghost uses his {{Intangibility}} to sneak into the plane and incapacitate the men guarding TK. Keep in mind that while Roddy's HealingFactor means he can't be killed by the Gladiator, he can still feel pain.
*** Roddy sticking his leg into one of the plane's propellers, causing blood to fly into the Gladiator's face.
*** Gladiator rips off Roddy's arm, but Roddy is able to reattach it and uses his whip to swing off the plane, taking Gladiator with him.
*** When they land in the ocean, Roddy is okay, but Gladiator is knocked unconscious. Kasey arrives, and makes sure Gladiator stays down with an illusion of him protecting a mermaid kingdom, while Sammy and Roddy are rescued.
** Johnny using his electricity powers to slow the plane down so the crooks don't lose sight of them.

** The Gang’s entry. Johnny wipes them from the surveillance cameras, while Kasey renders them invisible to the crowd. And they actually manage to do pretty well. If not for the display helmet being a fake, and the Praetorian being around to listen in on their plan, they could’ve left without incident.

* When the gang is confronted by the Praetorian, and The Bastard taunts them on the intercom, Johnny manages to grind The Bastard’s gears by snarking about his age. That’s right, ''Johnny Bolt insulted the most dangerous criminal alive'' ''''and got away with it.''''
* The Gladiator Vs Praetorian. A total CurbStompBattle in Gladiator’s favor. Despite Praetorian’s massive array of powers, Gladiator is just tough enough to overpower the false hero.

** At first, Praetorian is his usual smug, cocky self when Gladiator is trash-talking him. Then Gladiator lifts up his mask and we see the [[HorrifyingTheHorror Praetorian show genuine fear for the first time]].
** Considering they had blackmailed him into helping them, one can't help but side with the Gladiator when he lets the Praetorian rough up Johnny and the gang for a while.

* Johnny’s master stroke. After escaping the island, he sends a photo of the gang robbing the Bastard to his old friend, now working as a reporter who follows the Union of Justice. Matts, mistakenly thinking his men (who have the exact uniforms the crew wore on their heist) had double-crossed him, goes over to the Network HQ to kill them, leaving the gang free to spend their money safely.

* Johnny, TK, Forecast and Carmine find themselves facing off against The Bastard's {{Ninja}} guards. They can't use any powers as it will set off a security system that will immediately neutralize them. Carmine shows that being TheTeamNormal has its advantages and whips out his [[FireBreathingWeapon flame throwers]], reminding us why he was once known as The Heat.

* Captured by the Bastard and Praetorian and injected with a truth serum, Kasey delivers an epic TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to the Bastard, basically calling him an unfeeling monster with no sense of beauty, empathy, or grace.
* When the gang is confronted by the Praetorian, and The Bastard calls them on the intercom, Johnny manages to grind The Bastard’s gears by making fun of his age. That’s right, ''Johnny Bolt insulted the most dangerous criminal alive and got away with it.''

* Forecast’s introduction. While he’s a silly, goofy, fun-lover. His power to control the weather is awesome. In his debut, he clears a thunderstorm to display himself as the saving grace of the gang.

* How does Gladiator arrive the island where the heist will take place? By swimming there in under 90 minutes.

* Kasey manages to cast an illusion capable of fooling the Bastard, then manages to get him to kill his perverted assistant Miguel.
* Johnny’s master stroke. After escaping the island, Johnny sends a photo of the gang robbing the Bastard to his old friend, now working as a reporter who follows the Union of Justice.

** The only thing that saves the crew from being killed by the Praetorian is Kasey using her illusion powers to make him leave them alone. Which is an awesome moment itself for Kasey.
