This thread will be dedicated to that paragon of power, THE hero of heroes, invincible, mighty, atirathi, Kaunteya, Pandu Putra Arjuna. Following tweets will share his victories and feats which are matchless and border on incredible even for someone like him.
From the very start, Arjuna was the most gifted of Drona's disciples, the only one to attain the status of atirathi (ahead of Karna, sorry fanboys).
First taste of Arjuna's power comes from that famous scene from rangabhoomi.
Next comes his victory over Drupad. Remember, Drupad had defeated all Kauravas and Karna (pic 1)
Arjuna defeated Drupad (Pic 2)

Next comes, Draupadi Swaymvar. It is clearly stated that only a warrior equal to Arjuna could complete the task (pic 1).
All warriors in the court (Jarasandh, Karna, Shalya) failed to complete the task (pic 2,3 & 4)

Another proof
Arjuna completed the task within seconds (pic 1).
Arjuna and Bhima stopped all of the kings enraged to the point of killing them (Bhima was engaged with Shalya alone, mind you.) (Pic 2, 3 & 4)

The list of kings and princes who came in the swaymvar.
Next comes the Khandav War.
First, Arjuna stops rain from Indra falling on the forest (pic 1)
Then an angry Arjuna along with Shri Krishna routs the COMBINED Celestial host, baffles all arrows of Indra and destroys an entire mountain hurled at him by Indra.

The celestial host retreated from the fight, unable to beat either Shri Krishna or Arjuna.
Arjuna conquered all of north direction in Rajasuya Yagna
Now comes the most impressive feat of Arjuna. He fought Mahadev himself and pleased Devadhidev with his prowess.
Please note that Arjuna fired so many arrows at Shiva that his inexhaustible quiver became exhausted and only Mahadev's "full might" blow defeated him. Incredible!

Next, Indra asks Arjuna to kill 30 million Nivata-Kavachas Rakshasas. Reminder, Ravana couldn't beat the same Nivata-Kavachas in a year long war and later learnt magic from them.
Arjuna kills all of them and subjugated a city which was resided by rakshasas AFTER they drove all the celestial out of it.
Arjuna kills Kalakeyas who were unkillable by combined celestial host and destroys their aerial city.
Devas give all the celestial weapons to Arjuna and informed "Bhishma and Drona and Kripa and Karna and Sakuni together shall not amount unto one-sixteenth part of thee."

2nd Day, Arjuna and Bhishma's fierce duel.
Seeing Abhimanyu cornered, Arjuna comes to rescue of his son. Every Kaurav warrior descends on Arjuna including Bhishma and Drona, Arjuna repulses them all and Bhishma himself declares the end of the day to rescue everyone from Arjuna's wrath.
Day 3.
After giving a vow to Shri Krishna to beat Kauravas, Arjuna shows his wrath to the combined Kaurava armies.
Kaurav armies again ran away at the end of the day.

Drona outright says he can't win against Arjuna.
Now after it, Drona attacks Yudhisthir and comes close to capturing him. Arjuna comes at the last minute like the cavalry and repeals the entire Kaurav army himself (Drona and Duryodhan thought it better to get away from Arjuna)
