Remember When You Blew Up a Sun? | comment |
A sub-trope of Continuity Nod, where a character acknowledges a past Moment of Awesome, either their own or that of another character. Can be used to attempt to intimidate an opponent, or even just a minor character that is being a nuisance. If the opponent is impressive enough, this may even qualify as a Moment of Awesome in its own right. Also likely to turn up in a Don't Say Such Stupid Things! speech to bolster a character's confidence by talking about the incredible feats they have accomplished in the past. Sometimes said in such an offhand manner that it almost appears that the character themselves mightn't find it all that impressive. It can also be used to lampshade the trumped-up suspense regarding the latest threat; your character can blow up a sun, so why are we all worried about the villain's new death ray? If the character continues to reminisce on a Moment of Awesome long after they stop being capable of pulling off similar feats, this becomes Glory Days. Sometimes played with if the sun-blower-upper either doesn't remember the incident in question, or does but attaches no importance to it. If writers seem to think that's all the character does, it turns into Flanderization. Closely related to Badass Boast. This trope can also come into play if the character is Legendary in the Sequel and his deeds in the previous installment are mentioned. Contrast Once Done, Never Forgotten, which is when the event other characters repeatedly bring up is embarrassing or shameful, and Never Live It Down, where it's the audience that keeps bringing the regrettable event up. If the incident however occurred during an off-screen moment within the plot and is never actually explained to the audience it turns into the Noodle Incident. Does not (usually) involve actual suns exploding. For that, see Star Killing. It also has nothing to do with destroying something that large scale out of sheer incompetence. That would be Mike Nelson, Destroyer of Worlds. Examples |

Toyed with in TaleSpin. After Baloo's pilot's license expires and he struggles in the courses needed to get it renewed, his friends remind him of all the examples of his Improbable Piloting Skills (such as safely landing inside a volcano) to cheer him up and encourage him. And then Wildcat mentions the embarrassing results of his pelican dive... Later, when Baloo attempts to use those same arguments on his instructor to butter him up, the instructor comments he never heard of any of the favorable examples but was quite familiar with the pelican dive. Ultimately, Baloo gets his license back when he realizes what he did wrong with the maneuver before and successfully uses it to escape an attack by Air Pirates. | |

On Angel, both Angel and Spike are pretty smug about having personally saved the world — although in both cases it was by dying. (If Angel thought a bit harder, he'd realize he has much better examples, such as "Happy Anniversary".) Angel rarely needs to brag, however. He has a towering reputation in the demon world... with the soul and especially without it. | |

Star Trek: Enterprise: Archer becomes either a hero or a curse depending on who's passing on the stories, one example being his rescue of the Klingon and the prevention of a civil war in the pilot episode, and later his defeat of a Klingon that was harassing another ship. He becomes an outright living legend with the Trekverse after defeating the Xindi, an accomplishment referenced regularly in the fourth season. | |

In Nowhere Boys, once Andy pushes Alternate!Ellen out of the way of a careening school bus, he gains a reputation as a hero (rather than a nerd) and the event is repeatedly mentioned to him with awe, not least by the person rescued. Ironically, he was only in position to save Ellen because he was planning on jumping in front of the bus himself in a misguided effort to end the spell keeping them in the alternate reality. | |

In the Deva Series, Nanoha — an expert at provoking Oh, Crap! — pulls off one of these completely by accident. Lotte is teasing her, and asks when she last blew out a workroom. Nanoha's casual response makes at least one student pale, knowing that none of the students would have a chance of pulling off such a feat. | |

Once, Captain Michael Oversteegen of the Royal Manticoran Navy took out four heavy cruisers with just one heavy cruiser under his own command in the remote star system Tiberian. And nobody ever forgets it. Similarly, Sir Horace Harkness is legendary for the one time when he covered his C.O.'s escape from an enemy battlecruiser by persuading one of the battlecruiser's pinnacles to activate its impeller drives while the pinnace was still in the docking bay. This turned the entire battlecruiser to metallic grit. |

The Simpsons Mr. Burns in the season 13 episode "Hunka Hunka Burns in Love". His love interest, Gloria, is also local criminal Snake's ex-girlfriend, but Homer convinces her to give Burns a chance by listing his many wild exploits, such as running his own casino, stealing the Loch Ness monster, and blocking out the sun in Springfield. In "The Blunder Years", Homer drinks some Yaqui tea with the family in an attempt to remember a traumatic childhood event. The following exchange takes place: In reference to the quote above, that episode would mark the at least the third time that the scene of Homer falling down Springfield gorge was flash-backed to. It's been referenced at least twice again since then — including in The Movie. It's Matt Groening's favorite episode of all time. Another example would be people reminding Homer that he is a former astronaut. Sometimes used to mock how low he's fallen, sometimes to cheer him up. "The Wizard of Evergreen Terrace" recalls this only for Homer to deride it with "Eh, all we did was grow some space tomatoes and sabotage MIR." The episode then subverts this trope when Bart asks if Homer remembers nearly becoming heavyweight champ, and Homer genuinely doesn't remember because of all the fierce blows to his head. Maggie's shooting of Mr. Burns has been at least as frequently alluded to as Homer falling down Springfield Gorge, usually in a Lampshade Hanging moment. The Hell's Satans, a motorcycle gang that has taken over the Simpson's home, has a minor example: |

Like a Dragon is rife with references to characters' past exploits, with one example often brought up being Kiryu's brief time as the fourth chairman of the Tojo Clan at the climax of Yakuza. Yakuza Kiwami, in particular, has numerous references to Yakuza 0, including mentions of the fight over the Empty Lot where the Millennium Tower now stands, Majima's stint as a fixture of Sotenbori's night life, and Kiryu's time competing in the Pocket Circuit tournament. | |

X-Wing Rogue Squadron: The pilots in Rogue Squadron love talking about how they could take the Death Star. Pilots surrounded by enemy craft say that it's as crowded and hostile as the Death Star, and actually given the odds they'd prefer to be back there. People go through◊ an estate's defenses faster than X-wings go through a Death Star. When breaking into something they say things like "Well, it's not like it's a Death Star." "Not like we're in X-Wings." Understandable, considering that it was founded by the two X-Wing pilots who survived the first one, and commanded by one of the two who proceeded to destroy the second one. While composing a mission plan, someone asks if they abort if something goes wrong. Asked to define wrong, a commando says◊ "They've sent a Death Star," obviously a flippant remark since this is set between superweapon eras. An older pilot says they'll just leave the Death Star to Wedge and Tycho, two pilots who took down the second one, while they do their job. Tycho says◊ "Only one Death Star? Then we'll be ready to save you when you need it." | |

Tales Series Tales of Symphonia: Raine blows up two Human Ranches over the course of the game, and when the party secures a third, Sheena and the Renegades reminds her not to blow up this one. A later skit further references these exploits, while the characters telling the tale forget that Raine was using the Ranches' inbuilt self destruct systems, bringing a hilarious reaction from the others who lacked the context. And then in the sequel, another skit again calls back to the explosions, bringing Emil, Marta, and Tenebrae into the circle of characters who fear Raine for her apparently Explodium-based abilities. |

Supergirl: Supergirl's most notorious moment of awesome was beating the Anti-Monitor up in Crisis on Infinite Earths. Sure, he got a lucky shot and killed her, but she nearly kills an Eldritch Abomination that had previously devoured an infinite number of universes. That was not her only or last awesome moment, but it is the most memorable one. And it is often referenced In-Universe by whoever remembers the Crisis. | |

8-Bit Theater Used early on, when Fighter boasts to a bunch of random encounter monsters about how Black Mage nuked a forest (and the giant within it). Subverted when Black Mage tells him to shut up because he can only use the spell that did that once a day. Played with more later, when Black Mage tries threatening someone with it, and Fighter tells him he's being an idiot because he already used it that day. At one point, Black Mage encounters the incarnation of all his mortal evils, which, being the only thing evil enough to represent all that, is himself. He promptly asks himself if they're including the time he ruled Hell for ten minutes, or the time he orphaned some kid twice. He was advised to stop after that, seeing as the incarnation had, in fact, forgotten, and was getting stronger after each reminder. |

In the opening of The Ink Black Heart from the Cormoran Strike Novels, Robin and Strike discuss events from the very first novel, The Cuckoo's Calling. She tells him that she could tell immediately that he was good at what he did, just from watching him, despite his poverty and the shabby state of his office. Meanwhile, he recalls how she brought in a tray of coffee and biscuits on her first day and he couldn't figure out how she got it all, that it was like a conjuring trick. | |

In Masks: A New Generation, character creation is a group effort, as the first time the characters met happens before the game. Each playbook has a prompt as to what happened during their first city-saving escapade the players fill in the gaps of, and as this is about teenage superheroes, any crazy things could've happened. | |

The Dresden Files: People always bring up that time Harry rode a polka-powered zombie T. rex against an undead army during a necromantic hurricane. Harry's defeat of Eldest Gruff, by asking for a donut, apparently had the entire Summer Court laughing for months. Harry also discovered that most of the White Council, Wardens included, is afraid of him because of his accomplishments. This has made Harry a sort of Living Legend, as pointed out in Turn Coat: The White Council doesn't see Harry as a guy in way over his head who barely survives by the skin of his teeth through a combination of quick thinking, powerful friends, and luck. They see him as the guy who killed the Summer Lady, outwitted Nicodemus, rides into battle on the back of a zombie tyrannosaurus, and was brave enough to challenge the entire Senior Council to a fight, and then actually showed up. Murphy's probably getting tired of people recognizing her from the loup-garou footage that aired at the end of Fool Moon by now. Or at least, of how everyone who's not clued-in immediately remarks about how fake it looked. |

World of Warcraft uses this trope at least three times. One of the most memorable storylines of the original game was a long quest chain to find out about the evil black dragon Onyxia hiding in disguise in Stormwind, and fight her with the help of Lord Bolvar Fordragon. Two expansions later, Bolvar is a quest giver, and if your character completed the Onyxia quest, he addresses you familiarly. NPCs in a besieged town are clearly in trouble. They comfort each other with rumours that the Scarab Lord and the Hand of A'dal have come to help. Both of those are titles that used to be attainable by players for completing particularly hard and important quests or raids. |

In The Order of the Stick, Belkar is goaded by the ghost/hallucination of Shojo into repeating his declaration that he is a "sexy shoeless god of war" (originally uttered in this context) as the last bit of taking a level in Manipulative Bastard.

Stargate: Stargate SG-1 Samantha Carter blew up a sun in order to destroy the massive enemy fleet which was within its system. This event is repeatedly mentioned by other characters as her Moment of Awesome, though by her own admission she later does even crazier things. Depending on who's asking, Teal'c's galactic fame as the First Prime who dared to betray his master and call him a false god either elicits awed respect or teeth-grating hatred. The teeth-graters are all eventually either convinced to join his side or are killed, though. SG-1 develops quite the reputation as the number of System Lords they encounter soon thereafter become ex-System Lords, usually due to dying at their hands. The trope, however, is deconstructed in Stargate Atlantis, where Rodney McKay (Carter's enduring intellectual rival) once blew up five sixths of a solar system by accident. This... wasn't awesome; instead of giving them a great victory over their enemy, it cost the life of a teammate, destroyed valuable technology that could have been studied, and underscored his arrogance and fallibility. Much like Carter blowing up a sun, it's repeatedly brought up for comedic effect, albeit as a worst case scenario that's hung around McKay's neck. |

Disney Ducks Comic Universe: Uncle Scrooge frequently likes to boast of his past adventures, especially in stories by Don Rosa, who grew up on the works of Scrooge's creator Carl Barks. In Rosa's "The Magnificent Seven (Minus Four) Caballeros", Donald Duck ever so casually mentions to pals José Carioca and Panchito Pistolas about the times he found El Dorado, the lost mines of the Incas, Atlantis, and King Solomon's Mines, the last living dinosaurs... all of this as an afterthought. He did all of that in stories by Carl Barks, but José and Panchito's awed reactions really put all of that into perspective. |

CM Punk's moment is when he hijacked the WWE Championship in the middle of his hometown Chicago one hour before his contract expired. It is by far and away one of the most shocking things to happen in recent wrestling history, and likely nothing of a similar nature will ever top it. As shown when TNA did poor rehash of it with AJ Styles a mere two years later. | |

Farscape It becomes clear that the crew of Moya have developed a reputation over the seasons, as the fugitives who have avoided Peacekeeper capture for years, then as the ones who blew up a Gammak Base AND a Shadow Depository. Their reputation for badassery becomes so pronounced that at a conference between the major powers in the galaxy, when the crew of Moya shows up and takes a place at the table, hardly anyone bats an eye. Two different one-shot characters reveal that they have heard about Crichton's exploits and proceed to list them back to him. First, in "Suns and Lovers": And again in "Scratch and Sniff": |

Avatar: The Last Airbender Deconstructed: after Aang uses the Avatar State to single-handedly destroy a massive war fleet in a matter of seconds, an impressed general tries to help him master it so so he can win the war quickly. Not only does this turn out to be a bad idea (since the Avatar State also makes Aang extremely vulnerable), but Aang is horrified when he realizes just how scary and destructive that power really is. Later, after Azula temporarily kills Aang, she lets Zuko take the credit because he was (rightfully) worried Ozai wouldn't respect him otherwise. Azula being Azula, this is part of a greater plan: if Aang turns up alive (which he does) then Zuko takes the blame for the failure to kill him. The series also has a weird subversion with Iroh. People often remember his legendary siege of Ba Sing Se, but it's just as much a mark of shame because he failed and lost his son in the process. Then he goes and takes it for real from the Fire Nation in the finale. In a flashback to a trial in The Legend of Korra, Sokka brings up how he used his trusty boomerang to defeat a man who could firebend with his mind (Combustion Man) and how Toph discovered and perfected Metalbending in regards to people with unique bending abilities. |

Mass Effect Mass Effect 2 is almost built around this. Almost every story you hear from Zaeed Massani eventually comes out to this, usually consisting of him coming out as the sole survivor of ridiculous odds, but still getting his mission done. This is actually a plot point, as its a clue he's a bad choice to be a Fire Team leader in the end. Choosing him will result in someone dying. Garrus and James Vega can be found trying to top each others' war stories in Mass Effect 3. Remember when Commander Shepard discovered Illos/killed Saren/destroyed a Reaper/Insert-Sidequest-Here? Everybody else does! In the third game, the time you kill a Reaper using Kalros, the Mother of All Thresher Maws gets brought up a couple times. Apparently the video created a pretty huge swell in recruiting. Subverted as well (assuming you chose to play through it, anyway). It's made clear that Shepard is never going to be forgiven by the Batarians for having been forced to detonate a Mass Relay to prevent the Reaper invasion, sacrificing the 300,000 Batarians who lived in the system as a result. Even without playing through it, though, Shepard is still in hot water for working with Cerberus. |

Batman: The time Batman knocked out Guy Gardner with one punch gets mentioned far more than most of the Justice League International era. Partly because it's a Once Done, Never Forgotten down moment for Guy. It was even included as a Mythology Gag in an episode of Batman: The Brave and the Bold. Batman once caught one of Speedy's arrows. It left such an impression on him that he would bring it up from time to time, even years later when he became Arsenal. Nobody ever let Batgirl forget the time she defeated Lady Shiva in a duel. Bane's famous actions in Knightfall are referenced so often in Secret Six that it approaches a Running Gag. |

Star Trek: The Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "In the Pale Moonlight" plays with this a bit using Vreenak, a very anti-Federation Romulan senator. Star Trek: Enterprise: Archer becomes either a hero or a curse depending on who's passing on the stories, one example being his rescue of the Klingon and the prevention of a civil war in the pilot episode, and later his defeat of a Klingon that was harassing another ship. He becomes an outright living legend with the Trekverse after defeating the Xindi, an accomplishment referenced regularly in the fourth season. |

One would think such would have created a trend for Square Enix since past it they have made more Final Fantasy that are direct sequels to the others will make this trope more common, but more often than naught in the Sequels made after, Square's chosen to reboot, retcon or ignore the the original game with the characters so they can do the same thing with just a different endboss. | |

The Miz likes to brag about how he won the main event WrestleMania, going over John Cena in the process, conveniently forgetting how it was because of the Rock that it even happened at all. The funny part is that he actually doesn't remember the match due to suffering a concussion. | |

Superman: Superman's most notorious Moment Of Awesome (or at least, Moment Of "What The—?") actually came from the 1977 film, where he reverses time by reversing the Earth's orbit in order to prevent an earthquake that killed Lois Lane. When anyone wants to point out how insane Superman's powers can get, though, that's what they point to. Ironically, he never actually spins the Earth backwards - he's traveling through time and it appears to spin backwards. At least that was the creators' intent. Another infamous example being the time Superboy (his younger self) towed an entire solar system of planets behind him. This feat is where the infamous "juggling planets" term came from regarding ultra-powerful characters. |

Law & Order: In one episode, Jack McCoy participated in a plot to hide a potential defense witness (though he later regretted it and presented the evidence anyway). They never let him forget it, especially when he became the DA trying to keep his subordinates from crossing the line. Mike Cutter is particularly prone to bringing this up when McCoy tries to rein him in. | |

In Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, it's mentioned that all Starfleet command cadets have to take the Kobayashi Maru test, a no-win-scenario designed to see how they deal with failure. Legendarily, James T. Kirk is the only person to have ever passed the test - by cheating. This is brought up several times throughout the film, as well as in the Expanded Universe and the reboot/alternate universe movie. | |

Dragon Tails Bluey hijacks a mecha at a convention and does something incredibly cool offscreen. It is never shown, but becomes a returning gag. After the convention, Bluey's elder brother Enigma watches a video recording of the event (with the back of the TV toward the viewer) and remarks "Bluey, you were reckless and irresponsible, but... I have to admit, that was the coolest thing I have ever seen." In a much later storyline, two characters talk about their project is going to be more awesome than anything else |

A Song of Ice and Fire: Sam has such abysmal self-esteem that even after he single-handedly kills an Other, he continues to insist he's worthless. His friends, particularly Grenn (who saw it happen and made sure everyone knew) and Jon (his closest friend), keep mentioning it and trying to point out that for a self-professed craven, he's done some remarkably badass things. In fact, the new Lord Commander Jon Snow expressly forbids Sam from calling himself a coward because of this. | |

In One Piece, Luffy's feat of breaking into Impel Down and charging into the war at Marineford to save his older brother made him a legend among many pirates, criminals, and marines. Luffy's grandfather, Garp, is revered for cornering Gold Roger several times. Subverted with the actual reason he's famous - he's ashamed of what he did during the God Valley incident, so he keeps it secret. If you're wondering, he worked with Roger to take down Rocks, and protected Celestial Dragons in doing so. |

A couple of examples from The Raven's Plan: No one is ever going to forget that Arya fed Walder Frey a pie made out of two of his grandsons and annihilated House Frey. Or fail to tell others about it (not helped by the fact that it's now in song form). Speaking of the Freys, Edmure's own brutal purge of them post-Remembering is rapidly becoming this as well, especially his brutal No-Holds-Barred Beatdown of Black Walder Frey with a rock. In fact, it and Arya's purge are both in the same song. |

The Bible: Nearly every time God tells a prophet to send a message or warning to the Jewish people, He includes a reminder that He's "The Lord who took Israel out of bondage in Egypt." In The Book of Job, God responds to Job challenging His justice with an extensive list of His accomplishments, stressing just how far outside of Job's comprehension the decisions He has to make are. Paul's letters talk a lot about that time Jesus came back from the dead. |

There's a variation in Garrett, P.I.. In book 1, Garrett's friend Morley pulls a little stunt involving a vampire and a coffin. It was a definite Moment of Awesome for him, and as of book 14 Garrett still hasn't stopped reminding him (and the readers) about it every once in a while; however, Garrett has his reasons to resent Morley because of that incident, so it tends to come out more like "Remember When You Blew Up A Sun... in my face?" | |

Game of Thrones: Season 6 finds Melisandre, priestess of the Lord of Light, having a crisis of faith just as her usual adversary Davos Seaworth needs her to resurrect Jon Snow. He gives her a pep talk involving references to the time she drank poison and lived and the time she gave birth to a shadow demon. Euron Greyjoy's raid on Lannisport was seen in Season 1 and in Season 7 as the height of Greyjoy perfidy. He led a raid that utterly humiliated Tywin Lannister, destroying his fleet at anchor, killing hundreds of sailors and leaving the Westerlands free to raid until Stannis crushed them at Fair Isle. |

A stranger walks in wearing a hat and coat and shares his story. In an issue of The Amazing Spider-Man (2018), Peter is at the Bar with No Name and zoned out until he overhears that the other patrons are having a trivia game about him. When they have a question about which herald of Galactus he defeated, Peter injects and (indirectly) gloats that it was Firelord after everyone else gets it wrong. |

Leverage. Eliot is the freaking KING of this trope. His sort-of fiancée broke it off because he was off doing awesome badass stuff. He liberated Croatia. He's not sure, but he's fairly certain a fatwa was issued against him. He almost killed a guy called 'The Butcher of Kiev' with an appetizer and, according to "The Cross my Heart Job" he once fought a guy using a Nerf sword. He was doing hinky stuff in Pakistan, too. And that's just his backstory. | |

The Hardie Boys in Disco Elysium start out actively hostile and you have to earn their grudging respect over the course of your investigation...but do something in particular at the game's climax and they won't stop praising you for it whenever you talk to them afterwards. Even Kim, usually the Straight Man and exhausted by your shenanigans, will admit it was impressive. In fairness, throwing an improvised Molotov cocktail at a heavily armed, armored, and belligerent mercenary when you're outnumbered takes a lot of guts and/or insanity. | |

At the end of Power Rangers Wild Force's Reunion Show "Forever Red", the series' various Red Rangers good-naturedly mock Tommy's Memetic Badass status partly by playing up their own accomplishments: In the original script, Andros instead said "Hey, I killed Zordon, top that!" |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Rainbow Dash's Sonic Rainboom is one of the few if not only accomplishments that gets brought up more than once. And when said character is the member of a group that has SAVED THE WORLD(twice), as well as done other heroic things, like facing a dragon, fighting changelings, saving an entire empire, this is somewhat ridiculous. Any time Spike is in the Crystal Empire, you can bet that the fact that he's a celebrated hero there (thanks to his role in saving the day in "The Crystal Empire") will be brought up in some capacity. In "No Second Prances", ex-villains Trixie and Starlight take this route in explaining their villainous pasts to each other, casually bringing up details as you would with any other embarrassing moment. In "Flutter Brutter", Fluttershy's layabout brother Zephyr Breeze admits that part of his fear of failure is fueled by feeling inadequate next to the heroic accomplishments of Fluttershy and her friends. |

Doctor Who: In "Battlefield" and "Enemy of the Bane" (the former a Doctor Who story, that latter a Season Finale of the spin-off The Sarah Jane Adventures), the Doctor and the Brigadier (respectively) name-check a number of the various monsters they had fought while working with UNIT. Sarah Jane and Rose try to outdo each other with their past adventures in "School Reunion". Sarah Jane wins when she points out she's met... Subverted in "The Girl in the Fireplace", when Rose give a long speech along about how the bad-ass Doctor is coming to save them, referencing many of his previously amazing feats, and when he turns up he's apparently highly intoxicated and the opposite of every impression she has just given. When Mickey and Jake set out to stop a Cyberman army with nothing but a blue van at the end of "The Age of Steel", Mickey explains how he once "saved the whole universe with a big yellow truck". "Doomsday": Rose aggravates, to the point of forgetting their goal for a moment, the Cult of Skaro by telling them how the Dalek Emperor survived... until she showed up, absorbed the power of the Time Vortex and reduced him and his entire army to dust in the space of a few seconds. The Doctor does it "Forest of the Dead" when he tells the Vashta Nerada to look him up in the database. They retreat on the spot. In "The Eleventh Hour", the Eleventh Doctor makes his debut by saving the world in 20 minutes (without the TARDIS or the sonic screwdriver) by capturing a shape-shifting escapee after his Atraxi captors threatened to incinerate the entire Earth just to get him. Then, after calling the Atraxi back to Earth, the Doctor calmly tells them that Earth is not a threat, they violated laws by threatening its destruction, and every alien who tried before... Well, let's let the Doctor explain: Let's not forget the moment in "The Pandorica Opens" where the Doctor, after boasting how he doesn't have a plan or weapons worth "a damn", temporarily scares off a fleet of ships of pretty much every enemy he's ever encountered by simply saying: This is subverted almost immediately by the Doctor himself, when he snarkily comments "That ought to keep them squabbling for half an hour." A grander subversion is also afoot, since the fleet of aliens are part of an alliance that's actual goal is to place the Doctor inside the Pandorica. Still, his speech did cause them to back away, either because they were genuinely terrified, or they thought they needed to act like they were to avoid triggering his suspicions. So technically, it's a Double Subversion. And when the Thin Fat Gay Married Anglican Marines are talking about him in "A Good Man Goes to War". "The Impossible Astronaut" has this exchange when Amy, River, and Rory are fretting about whether or not they should tell the Doctor that they saw his future self die. And then there's the time when he literally made stating "I'm alone and unarmed" a Badass Boast. "Twice Upon a Time": When the Twelfth Doctor's endless Badass Boasting befuddles the First Doctor, Testimony shows him all the suns he will eventually blow up (in some cases, quite literally), running through all twelve of his future incarnations with heavy emphasis on the War Doctor in particular, leaving the original incarnation rightly rattled out of his mind. |

Marvel Ultimate Alliance does a variation, where it goes over all the sidequests you completed, and then shows the effects that this has on the future (ie, you saved some research data that will help out the mutants later). God help you if you didn't complete one. Not that even doing all of the sidequests helps, considering one forces you into a no-win scenario where either choice results in a bad ending in a very "what the hell?" sort of way. Made worse because the implied consequences of either choice are horrible. Unless of course, you have Magneto, who can free both Nightcrawler and Jean Gray. |

However, though the vast majority of stories occur after this point, Trickstar is still generally treated as underdogs (and do indeed lack in funding and experience compared to fine). Every now and then a character will question this, bringing up that Trickstar has, in fact, pulled off an extremely impressive feat and proven themselves serious competitors. | |

One of the early story arcs for The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob! involved Bob briefly gaining super powers, and he accidentally flew through a mountaintop, leaving a big hole. In any shot showing the mountain range on Generictown's horizon, that mountain with the hole is still prominently visible. It's mentioned much more rarely, but he also has a Congressional Medal of Honor sitting on his mantle, collecting dust, from the very second storyline. |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer "She saved the world, a lot." In the first season, teachers like to reference the time she burned down her old school's gym. "It's do or die." "Hey, I've died twice." Defeating a Slayer is the biggest notch a vampire can have in his belt. Spike has personally killed two. And not by accident or bringing weapons or a bunch of friends; he deliberately sought them out and beat them in fair fights. |

The trope, however, is deconstructed in Stargate Atlantis, where Rodney McKay (Carter's enduring intellectual rival) once blew up five sixths of a solar system by accident. This... wasn't awesome; instead of giving them a great victory over their enemy, it cost the life of a teammate, destroyed valuable technology that could have been studied, and underscored his arrogance and fallibility. Much like Carter blowing up a sun, it's repeatedly brought up for comedic effect, albeit as a worst case scenario that's hung around McKay's neck. | |

In Negima! Magister Negi Magi, Rakan was demonstrating for Setsuna (a Shinmeiryuu warrior) how to pull off a Zanmaken Ni no Tachi, a highly advanced Secret Art he'd never tried before in a style he was unfamiliar with (he maintains that he merely "copied" Eishun, an old traveling companion). Due to carelessness, it cut through Negi's barrier, several walls/buildings, a mountain-sized rock hovering outside the (floating) city, plus it nicked Negi in the head, and just nearly killed him. Later in that scene, Konoka points out how impressive it is that Negi fought such a person to a draw. | |

The Serenity RPG describes the scene in "War Stories" where Mal beats Adlai Niska after being tortured to death and resuscitated by him as Mal succeeding at an "Incredible" skill check for Discipline. For reference, an "Incredible" check is two steps below the most difficult possible check ("Impossible"). | |

Aubrey-Maturin Despite the huge, huge list of crowning moments of awesome that Aubrey pulls off as a captain, the one that comes up most often in-universe is his first: Sophie versus Cacafuego. |

Dragon Ball Z: Frieza often brags about how he can destroy planets effortlessly and how easy it was to wipe out the Saiyans without going past his first transformation. Which makes his humiliation and defeat at the hands of Goku sting all the more. Super Saiyan Goku even delivers this stinger immediately after standing still and taking one of Frieza's death beams to the face. Goku is well known throughout the universe as the person who defeated Frieza. It is brought up a few times by his friends, the Kais, and even by Beerus, the God of Destruction. Although for some reason Vegeta's younger brother thought Vegeta was the one who killed Frieza. He's half right since it was Trunks who cut Frieza to bits. He's also known for killing Majin Buu, which is one of the many reasons why Frieza's empire stayed away from him. Even Frieza is greatly impressed when he hears that Goku killed Buu. After fighting Beerus, the battle is often used as a point of reference by Beerus to tell people how awesome Goku is, despite the fact that Goku didn't win. Before Frieza, Buu, or Beerus, he was known as the boy who defeated the Demon King Piccolo, twice. Among his friends and family, Future Trunks is credited as the one who killed Frieza the first time. Upon his resurrection, Frieza wants revenge on Trunks for killing him along with Goku. In-universe, Mr. Satan is hailed by the people of Earth as the savior who defeated Cell. It is often brought up even a decade after Cell's death. Gohan defeating Cell is often used to tell anyone what a badass he is or in Vegeta's case, was. |

Mighty Avengers: The Sentry's Moment of Awesome was mentioned as a possible tactic so frequently that he rapidly got sick of it. He does not throw everything into the Sun. According to the Internet, not only does he hurl everything into the sun, but this has become Norman Osborn's go-to solution to every problem. "Bob, throw X into the sun." | |

Artemis Fowl In The Opal Deception, Opal Koboi, in the middle of her attempted mass-revenge, notes that only two people have ever beaten her, "and both of them were Foaly", a clear reference to said centaur's Moment of Awesome at the climax of the second book. There are also several points throughout the series where various characters note that Butler is the only human ever to have taken on an adult troll hand to hand and won. Although if not for Holly healing him, he would have died after the first try. The Faeries like to remind each other on occasion not to underestimate Fowl, who once tricked them out of half a ton of gold. At age 11. It should furthermore be noted that he's the only human ever to keep that gold. Ever. |

City of Heroes: Mender Lazarus loves to talk about the adventures he's had with you. Thing is, you've never met him before. About the 4th mission into the story-arc with Lazarus, you run into him again. He gets 3 speech-bubbles into explaining time-travel and the nature of his group, then: ".... Ah. By the look in your eyes, you knew this already. We've met before, haven't we? Sometimes I really hate time travel." This was implemented as random passer-by NPC's would go "Hey, there's [Character]! I heard she just busted up a 5th Column cell!" or "Did you hear about how [Character] took down those Skulls?" |

In The Hobbit, Bilbo survives an encounter with the dragon by following this trope - describing all his previous Crowning Moments Of Awesome as riddles for Smaug to guess; which is an awesome moment on itself. Unfortunately, the dragon manages to guess the riddle about the Barrel-rider, at least enough to learn of Bilbo's involvement with the humans in the lake. | |

The Star Trek: The Next Generation novel Immortal Coil features (almost) every artificial intelligence ever shown on Star Trek. One character mentions that Picard is a bit of a celebrity among A.I.s. because he defended (and helped to better define) Data's rights as a sentient being in the episode "The Measure of a Man." | |
