  • Infinity Crisis;
    • Chapter 6 alone is packed with a lot:
      • As Thanos is handling Supergirl, Captain Marvel and Iron Man, the Justice League Superman arrives, takes him down with a punch and rips the Gauntlet off his hand.
      • Wonder Woman arrives and forms an all-woman fighting group with Sif, Valkyrie, Oyoke and Nyssa.
      • Jane Foster is able to pick up Mjlonir and become a Goddess of Thunder.
      • You have to give it to the Red Skull. Within five minutes of getting back to Earth, he easily takes back control of HYDRA and in hours, has whipped them into an army ready to invade New York City.
      • The Red Skull has gotten the better of Captain America and Phil Coulson when Black Lightning enters. The Skull runs him down as nothing but an animal. Lightning's reply is to pull off his gloves, crack his knuckles and beat the living hell out of the Skull.
    • And then we have Chapter 8, in which the Snap is undone and suddenly Thanos's remaining minions (HYDRA, Dark Elves, Hela's forces, and Chitauri) are up against the combined might of the heroes of the MCU, the Arrowverse and the DCEU Justice League, who proceed to deliver a thorough Curb-Stomp Battle to the enemy that culminates in Thanos facing literally every hero who opposes his plans with absolutely no back-up available.
    All around New York, [..] more than a few thousand [of the returned] found themselves surrounded by a variety of aliens, elves, frost giants and HYDRA forces. But they were also surrounded by heroes.
  • In Gamma Relations, Spider-Man is fighting some guards in a lab when a cell is accidentally opened. The scientists freak out as a figure exits and is identified by a simple sound effect: SNIKIT
  • Powers and Marvels:
    • The Power Rangers vs the Avengers and Fantastic Four; 'nuff said.
    • In the story's final battle, the Power Rangers use the special suits Tony gave them to forge an "Iron Zord" to fight Fin Fang Foom in the middle of Beijing.
  • In Hand and Foot:
    • Chapter 4 sees the Turtles and the Defenders get some assistance in fighting off the latest Hand assault in the form of the Gargoyles.
    • Of all people, The Rat King gets this when he summons an army of rats against the Triceatons.
    Rat King: This city has an army greater than any on Earth. And I...I am their KING!
  • Counterpart Conferences:
    • Chapter two has Skeletor and Hordak teaming up to fight Mumm-Ra.
    • Chapter four sees Magneto using his powers to send nearly every nuclear missile on Earth into outer space. He then broadcasts a video threat to the world to let mutants be at peace or pay the price.
    • Chapter five: Deathstroke vs Snake Eyes.
      • Swiftly followed by the Decepticons having G.I. Joe majorly on the ropes before the Autobots arrive to even up the odds.
    • Chapter seven? Batman Versus Batman!
    • Chapter eight has Merlin (Merlin (2008)) and Nimue (Cursed (2020)) versus three brainwashed Stargirls and Morgana, only for the Earth-2 Stargirl to break free and then release her counterparts, all of whom turn on Morgana.
    • Chapter 9 sees Earth-1 Bruce Wayne publicly announce that he's Batman's financial backer, effectively misdirecting anyone who might be capable of deducing that someone would need his kind of money to be Batman.
  • Sins, Sirens and Strife:
    • Chapter Two features the ever-classic clash of Shazam and Superman, this time with Superman under the control of the Enchantress until Shazam's lightning snaps him out of it.
    • Chapter three has Hippolyta and Atlanna meeting and joining together to face Circe's demonic hordes.
    Hippolyta: Come. Let us show them how queens make war.
    • Chapter four features a few, but the most significant is the debut of the Martian Manhunter, AKA General Swanwick, who introduces himself and then proceeds to break Amora's mental hold on Balder.
  • Infinity Crisis: The Inhumans:
    • Despite having no real training in using one, Tana Moon shows she takes very well to having a Green Lantern ring by engaging the Power Prism-packing Maximus in an epic aerial dogfight. It culminates in a Beam-O-War that Tana nearly wins until her ring runs out of power.
  • In Salvation Run, Diggle becomes the Green Lantern of Sector 2814 when the Skrulls were trying to analyse the ring after killing Abin Sur.
  • In Power Rangers Zeo, Prince Gasket was a whiny brat and a wimp. In Tales of the Beyond, he's now Emperor Gasket, having conquered a planet and established a new Machine Empire in just days, all while being more ruthless than his father ever was. Talk about Took a Level in Badass.
  • In Brothers of Thunder, Loki is gloating on how he has Asgard under his control, with Hydra, Malekith a Surtur-empowered Enchantress and the magics of Dormamamu on his side and "what power can stop that. Cut an explosion to reveal two sets of Avengers teams (including a genderbent version), with four Thors (One a woman), two versions of Thunderstrike and Beta Ray Bill glaring at him, with the Thor of this universe only able to say one thing:
    Odinson: Brother. We would have words with thee.
    • The recreation of Skurge's epic You Shall Not Pass! moment with the bonus that his sacrifice was enough to gain him entry into Valhalla.
    He stood alone at Gjallerbru. And that is all that need be said.
    • Malekith mocks Iron Maiden on how he has scores of magic to use at a word.
    Iron Maiden: Well, I've got two magic words of my own, asshole. Avengers Assemble.
  • Dee Dee of all people defeating Pinky and the Brain in Of Mice and Mojo and saving the day, all by being her usual destructive self.
  • The Eighth Doctor saved Captain Carter and Steve Rogers from the destruction of their reality.
  • Supergirl, Superman, Carol, and Steel fighting against Doomsday until the Thirteenth Doctor arrives with a way to distract it enough to push it into the Phantom Zone.
  • Glimpses:
    • Haim's men beating him up for lighting three others on fire.
    • Liza turns out to be her universe's last Grimm.
    • Ben's Heroic Sacrifice means that any Skrull that enters Earth-192 loses their powers, keeping his world safe from them. The Skrulls that were unfortunate enough to enter that Earth were abandoned by their fellows and forces to be wanderers selling their old junk.
    • Spider-Girl and Amphibian are on the ropes thanks to Heatmonger, only for a black deli employee the Aryan Brigade were terrorizing in their rampage to sneak up behind her and use a meat tenderizer to knock her out cold.
  • In Undead & Unburied: An Infinity Crisis Halloween Story, Mystery Inc., even Scooby and Shaggy, manage to see through Wendell and Trudy's prank, only playing along to make them think that it worked. And then the duo gets their parents called on them.
  • Infinity Crisis Aftermath: Birds of Prey sees Earth-66's Owlwoman, Bluebird and Black Canary form the Birds of Prey and handily thwart a villain and his henchmen.
  • Women of Wonder:
    Raimor: I once saw him exorcise an entire pack of demons...with a spritz sprayer. A. Fucking. Spritz. Sprayer.
    • The three Wonder Women all using their lassos to restrain Gabriel and forcing him to reveal what he knows about Circe's plans. And when this leads to him starting a Motive Rant about finally bringing about Hell on Earth like he originally planned, Constantine decks him.
    • Amid Circe's attack, Adrianna unlocks the magic of her family pendant to become Isis.
  • The entire chase scene in the mall during Chapter 3 of Rampage of the Rani, hands down. You have five kids, four of them forcibly turned into red pandas, who got kidnapped by a ruthless Time Lady and her army, hellbent on conquering the Multiverse. They have no one to call for help, there's also a Judoon captain running around, they seem very outmatched... and then, they still manage to humiliate the villains just with a bunch of well-prepared pranks and their wits. Even in an universe when they aren't super-spies, the Besties still manage to prove they can be people to not underestimate.
  • In The Spirit of Halloween, Star helps save the day from Fright Knight, both by helping some of the others escape their worst nightmares and later by wielding new ecto-weapons.
  • The Earth-030122 Illuminati in general. Their main goal is to rescue the most people they can from worlds that have been conquered or were destroyed by the Anti-Monitor and give them the possibility to live ordinary lives (they're also watching over the wider Multiverse in secret). And, as we can see in the end of Rampage of the Rani & in New Discoveries, they are really damn good at it. Crosses over with Heartwarming Moments.
