In icon_uk's words:
“"ONE PERFECT MOMENT"

A celebration of those moments which just define a character.

Here's your chance to post the scene which, to you, summarises what makes a particular character work!

Here are my suggested guidelines.
It could be a single panel, it could be a scene, but the emphasis should be on "moment", so let's say.... two pages absolute maximum, and they have to be from the same issue of a title.
No fanfic, it has to be canon from a published title. (Sadly that precludes the Black Cat's output :( )
It can be a hero, villain, supporting character or whatever. They've all had magnificent moments.
And it doesn't have to be from superhero comics of course, the perfect Little Nemo moment, the scene with the Cryptkeeper which gave you PROPER nightmares, the Bash Street Kids summarised in a single panel, or whatever.
And of course, we can have multiple moments for the same character.”
