5	* Heller gets one in the ''tutorial'', when a Brawler jumps him. This is a beast capable of tearing apart tanks and can casually bite a human head off. Heller, pinned beneath this thing and armed only with a knife, ''kills it'' with a combination of fury and repeated stabs to the head and neck. There's a ''reason'' why Mercer was impressed enough to convert Heller without any further credentials.
6	** Before that, once Heller saw Mercer landing right in front of him, disregarding Red Crown's orders to wait for reinforcements, attacked [[TheDreaded Mercer]] only with a combat knife, and manages to get a few stabs in, even though [[HumanoidAbomination Mercer]] is obviously [[NighInvulnerable unaffected]] and [[NoSell unfazed]] and [[CurbStompBattle returns the favor]] shortly after, complete with a KungFuSonicBoom strike that sends Heller flying, as shown above, and ''[[MadeOfIron he still]] [[TheDeterminator gets back up]]'' from that. There's a ''reason'' why Mercer chose to test Heller instead of killing him then and there.
7	--->'''Mercer''': What else do [[BadassNormal you]] got?
8	* The Bio-bomb. Heller's quote the first time he sees it in action just about mimics the reaction of any Prototype fan who saw the trailer
9	-->'''Heller''': Now that right there, that is ''the shit''.
10	* Some of the EnemyChatter hammer it [[MookHorrorShow in how much]] [[CurbStompBattle you're trashing the enemy.]]
11	-->'''Blackwatch Soldier''': [[OhCrap Holy God in Heaven. HE'S GOT FUCKING CLAWS!]]
12	* The penultimate mission counts as well. Heller's daughter is taken hostage by Rooks in the GENTEK building behind an impenetrable gate that even Heller's Hammerfists can barely dent. What does Heller do? Consumes the nearby ''Alpha [[HeavilyArmoredMook Juggernaut]]'', granting him the ability to summon other Juggernauts, and orders them to smash the gate for him while he ''demolishes'' the attack force with his OneHitKill powers granted by being the Alpha.
13	* Heller [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu consuming Alex Mercer]]. Sure, it was the entire point of the game, but many didn't think that [[LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt the developers would go through with it.]] Seriously, play it on [[HarderThanHard Insane.]]
14	** In the preceding fight, if you do the dodges even halfway right, you come off as if (and Heller explicitly notes) that you're running rings around your opponent. Heller's so fast that Mercer can't even keep up with him.
15	--->'''Heller''': I'm too fast for you, asshole!
16	** In fact, even Mercer gives you a rocking round of applause (metaphorically, given his arms were ripped off) for decimating him.
17	--->'''Mercer''': [[FaceDeathWithDignity Welcome to the top of the food chain.]]
18	** Props must be given to Mercer. If Heller attacks Mercer use the exact same power as he does during each stage of the boss fight, he will easily counter Heller's attack and deal a nasty blow, all while taunting him, showing that Mercer had the clear advantage on experience with each powers compared to Heller, prompting Heller to take a different approach, while Mercer continues to switch between his powers.
19	** The fact that Mercer's Hammerfists can bypass Heller's nigh-impenetrable dual-shields. Remember that those shields are able to ''deflect tank shells and hellfire missiles'', and the only other attack that is able to bypass the shields is from a '''''[[AttackofThe50FootWhatever Goliath]]'''''.
20	** After seeing that he's outmatched against Mercer in terms of experience with the various powers, Heller takes a different approach and counters Mercer's appendage with another. Mercer uses his Blade? He uses his Hammerfists. Mercer changes into his Whipfist? He changes into his Blade. Mercer bashing his Hammerfists? He lashes out his Whipfist. It basically shows how well Heller can adapt.
21	* In terms of gameplay, Prototype 2 blows Prototype out of the water. Now you have shields on both arms and you can perform shield bashes, which means you can leave enemies open for a devastating attack. Sometimes it's slicing off their arms, in the case of Brawlers, sometimes it's giving them a German Suplex from fifteen feet high, in the case of Orions. You can consume people in the air now, by slamming them back first into the pavement and crushing them, bouncing back up to continue gliding.
22	* From the "Excessive Force" DLC Pack...Two words: [[EyeBeams Medusa's. Wrath.]]
23	** Well, you didn't get to [[TakenForGranite turn anyone into stone with it,]] but it will OneHitKill anyone in the game, aside from the bosses.
24	* After consuming a scientist in the Red Zone and getting into a helicopter while disguised as the Doctor, an Evolved comes and attacks the helicopter, demanding to know where the scientist is. Heller gladly responds.
25	-->'''Heller''': The Doctor is out, motherfucker! kicks Evolved out of the Helicopter
26	* Step 1: equip the claws. Step 2: target a helicopter. Step 3: use the pounce move, and feel like Wolverine as you tear it to shreds. Bonus points if you use the claw finisher.
27	* The finisher moves against vehicles. If it's a tank, Heller rips the turret off it and ''swaps'' the hull with it. If it a helicopter, with the proper powers, Heller could either uppercut the hull, claw out its rotor, whip the tail rotor off, or even split it in two!
28	* In the opening, Mercer karate kicks a helicopter. AscendedMeme, anyone?
