Atomic Robo/Awesome

Atomic Robo is pretty much a walking CMOA, but highlights include:

• In his debut appearance, defeating Baron Von Blabs-about-his-only-weakness.
• Beating the shit out of a multitude of Wehrmacht soldiers in mecha-suits, including the first one, which he took out using a howitzer like a club.

Robo: Nice shooting, Tex!
Tex/Sam: It's Sam, sir.
Robo: No, you're Tex now.

• His finest moment: After being sent on a rocket mission to Mars and, thanks to Stephen Hawking (yes, THAT Stephen Hawking), having absolutely nothing to distract him on the incredibly long journey out, Robo is forced to hang around on Mars for over a year before he can come back. In order to distract himself, he starts "studying Martian rocks". His departure is marked by the following message, written across a significant proportion of the surface of the planet:

STEPHEN HAWKING IS A BASTARD

• "When you return to your unobserved yet empirically determined dimension of origin... tell them Carl Sagan sent you."
• Tesla Vs. Edison in The Deadly Art of Science.
