Silver Surfer/Awesome

The Marvel Comics character:

 * Crowning Moment of Awesome: During one episode of the 90's animated series, the Surfer discovers the Universal Library, a place containing all the knowledge in the universe. The stinger is that all those who come to the Library for selfish reasons mutate into horrific amoeba called "Virals", amoeba like creatures with a Hive Mind. The Surfer is not immune to this, having come to the library to find Zenn-La, and he changes as well. The other Virals offer him limitless knowledge if he will unite with them by giving up the Power Cosmic. Realising that this would keep him from ever going home, the Surfer refuses, reverts the transformation through Heroic Willpower, and proceeds to go to town on the entire Viral horde:

"Silver Surfer: "Virals! Hear me! I belong to no one. Not Galactus! Not you! I am a free man!""


 * Crowning Music of Awesome: Any of the songs based on the Surfer by Joe Satriani.
 * During a graphic novel, the entirety of Earth's superhero population has been defeated by a race led by a being who literally draws strength from all his captured slaves. To put this in perspective, this guy takes down both the Incredible Hulk and the Sub-Mariner at the same time. The only hero left is the Silver Surfer, who finds out that this guy also has the Surfer's love Shalla-Bal as part of his harem. The entire graphic novel then becomes a chain of awesome moments as the Surfer reminds everyone that he wields the Power Cosmic, making him akin to a god. And remember kids, do not make fun of the naked silver man for being naked when he has this kind of strength.

The NES game:

 * Crowning Music of Awesome: The game has a surprisingly good, well loved soundtrack, which is arguably one of the best things about the game.
