** The superintendent of an apartment building keeps telling everyone how he used to own night clubs in Miami and had a mansion where he kept a pet tiger. Everyone thinks he is just a harmless old coot but it is all true and the man sacrificed all his wealth to testify against the Mob. He is also planning to kill a stalker who is targeting a young women living in the building.
** PlayedForLaughs when Finch infiltrates an insane asylum used by Samaritan as a front for their operations. He manages to get himself admitted as a paranoid schizophrenic by claiming that multiple gangs, as well as an all-seeing artificial intelligence, are out to get him, and that he goes by many aliases, all inspired by the names of birds, as a way to evade them. He clinches it by saying that [[ProperlyParanoid is isn't paranoia if they're really after you]].
** Finch tried the same tactic by revealing there's an evil AI to get himself disqualified from jury duty. However, he had to backtrack when he realized the Machine wanted him on the jury to keep track of a number.
** A radio show host discovers that what people assume is just incidental static emitted by various electronic gadgets, is actually a bunch of coded transmissions. Finch and Root quickly realize that the man has stumbled on Samaritan's secret communication network. The radio host tries to expose the truth on his show but his show caters to conspiracy theorists so he has no credibility with the general public. Even the conspiracy theorists do not believe him.

He also has walked right up to an influential leader of a corrupt cop ring and manipulated him into backing down from working with a mob boss, and completely bankrupted a corrupt executive's company.
*** When physical confrontation is necessary and unavoidable, he does what he can despite his physical limitations. At the climax of "Ghosts," he placed himself between Teresa and the hit man and gave him a look that just ''dared'' him to pull the trigger. He also acquitted himself pretty well in the climactic fight scene of "Super."

Season 2's "2-Pi-R" had him single-handedly protecting a woman from some very determined Armenian hitmen, and also take out two Serbian tough guys who'd just murdered someone just a few episodes later.
*** Fusco's badassery level seems to be quite variable depending on the episode. Easily disarmed by a gangster in "Masquerade", able to easily take down the aforementioned two Serbian hitmen in "Booked Solid."
