I'll second the "YOU DARE!" moment in the Time Trapper - Conspiracy issue.
I'll offer our first view of Weber's World, at the beginning of Earthwar, and Sensor Girl/Projectra's total beat-down on the Persuader at the end of the Empress's Fatal Five story.

Even with the team disbanded and him stripped of his powers he showed the power that even the suggestion of the Legion holds in the universe.
^^This.
Also, the first full shot of the SW6 team.

"The Fatal Five Who Twisted Time" Karate Kid sneaked up on the Emerald Eye and smashed it with one blow! But the Eye reformed from its shards until it becomes whole in all its emerald glory. The Empress saying, "You are hopelessly beaten"

Wow!
One of my favorite moments from one of my favorite Legion stories ever.

Two big moments come to mind, specifically from Eye for an Eye--Karate Kid's last stand against Nemesis Kid, and then Princess Projectra snapping Nemesis Kid's neck in revenge and when her teammates are horrified by it, the now-queen replies, ”I executed a condemned man as is my royal privilege. Dare any of you to call me wrong.” Holy CRAP.
Also, in the early issues of DnA's the Legion, when the villain was revealed...that made this guy who started out as a HUGE Batman fanboy really happy.

That was a classic. A powerful death for Karate Kid, fighting an 'unbeatable' foe, and yet choosing to go out on his own terms, winning the 'war' to save Orando at the cost of his own life, and a real stand-up-and-be-noticed moment for Projectra, who would never be the fainting princess or damsel in distress in need of rescue again.
Despite Karate Kid being one of my favorite Legionnaires, I thought his death was effective and dramatic and respectful, and so it felt like a strong ending to his personal story.

On a related note, Postboot Cosmic Boy did that when the Legion was chasing after "President McCauely"; the guards were saying they wouldn't be bullied by superpowered vigilantes. Cos goes, "My power is natural to all Braalians... and I'm not trying to impress you with it. I'm trying to impress you THIS." And he shows his Legion flight ring.
Awesome.
Monstress and Shikari jumping down to rescue Preogeny captives in Legion Lost 2, right after Shikari comforts poor Monstress about her sad past, was a great moment too.
As was Kid Quantum II and Element Lad stubbornly refusing to give up even as the rift was swallowing them up in LSH 125.
