3* Just about anytime [[BerserkButton someone calls Hancock "asshole."]]
4** "Your head's going up the driver's ass."''[gestures towards second guy]'' "''His'' head is going up ''your'' ass... ''[to third guy]'' ...and ''you'' drew the short stick, 'cause your head is goin' up ''my'' ass."
5* When Hancock accidentally bounces a basketball over the fence of the prison he's in, he simply leaps over the wall to fetch it. Once he holds it, he stops and seems to think for a second about the fact that he could just walk away, any time he wanted to, that he doesn't have to do anything he doesn't want to. But he leaps back over the fence anyway, and returns to the game.
6** It's after this that some of the criminals actually start looking up to Hancock - he still put them in there, but he's more one of them, now that they see that he really sees himself as one of them.
7* The battle between Hancock and Mary. It becomes an epic clash of titans worthy of any more traditional superhero movie. Before it's over, punching becomes throwing cars and tanker trucks and eventually escalates to lightning and tornadoes causing as much destruction as any disaster film... by the end it's less like a FlyingBrick battle and more like the Norse gods decided the middle of LA was the best place to have the final battle of Ragnarok.
8* Hancock single-handedly takes down a team of criminals robbing a major bank, who are armed with grenades, heavy machine-guns and [=RPGs=]. He just swoops in and takes them all out, even [[UnflinchingWalk deflecting a missile with his hand.]]
9* During the finale a powered down Hancock faces a small team of heavily armed mooks out to kill him. Simply put, Hancock is not [[Franchise/{{Superman}} the other guy.]] He's the guy who will literally [[GoodIsNotNice shove your head up your friend's ass, because he can]].
10* Hancock making the All-Heart logo on the moon. Ain't nobody gonna say that the All-Heart logo isn't good publicity now...
11* Hancock leaving at the end in order to save Mary's life, so that both can heal and get their powers back.
12* Ray gets his CMOA on as well when Hancock is down and a trigger pull away from getting his brains spread over the floor, who shows up with a fire axe to [[{{Pun}} disarm]] the bad guy. Ray then proceeds to butcher him.
13* "My Zagnut bar versus your gun."
14* A villainous example: Red finally gets Hancock where he wants him, and shoots him a couple of times while giving a rambling speech. To top it all off, [[ShutUpHannibal Ray kills him afterwards]].
15-->'''Red''': Upon us all, Hancock...[[NotSoDifferentRemark you're no different.]] Time to shut her down, Hancock. It's been a nice run. Oh, we are all...[[SarcasmMode sincerely gonna miss you.]] [[NothingLastsForever But it's time for you to move on.]] And maybe to a [[{{Heaven}} happier place.]] You can thank me if you want to...''superhero.'' (Ray chops off Red's hand holding the gun) [[BlackComedy You]] ''[[MoodWhiplash didn't!]]'' (Red gets hacked to death by Ray)
