Visual 1: That one scene from the game Starcraft where Tassadar realizes he is on a collision course with the Overmind, and accepts death as his fate. By letting go of the chains of mortality that bind him, he taps into nearly infinite energy, overloads his body, and becomes the epicenter of a psionic shockwave.
YES YES YES. Tassadar is my all-time favorite character. Mightiest of all, wisest of all, kindest of all. En taro Tassadar, brave warrior... :'(
Edit: I believe he purposefully set himself on a collision course, didn't he?

Visual 2: (I don't know where this is from but I remember seeing it somewhere) Someone is trapped by some force/entity/adversary and this enemy threatens to assimilate/take over said victim's body. Victim struggles, but cannot get free. Victim realizes what he is and what he can do, and smirks, realizing that if he charges his spirit, then the enemy has to absorb that too, and thus changes the nature of/destroys the enemy in the process. Halfway through the absorbtion process, the enemy panics, realizing what has happened, but is too late, as the new energy from the victim rips through the enemy and his parasitic assimilation setup like bleach on a black cloth.
I'm not familiar with that particular story, but I read a similar one in which an alien parasite takes over human bodies. The main character lets it transfer itself to his body, and right when it's finally fully in his body and cannot go back, he kills himself (after first explaining what's going on by writing in his blood, for those who will find him).
