* Although ''Highway to Heaven'' was pretty, well, blah from an action viewpoint, the episode "Plane Death" featured Jonathan confronting men who'd killed Mark's friend for money; when they not only showed no remorse but also decided to kill him and Mark too, he went from mild-mannered helpful angel to Terminator, shrugging off punches, chair shots, and ''shotgun blasts'' with an emotionless face and throwing a few of the men across the room with one arm. When one panicked and confessed to the crime, he found Jonathan had vanished mid-confession... just in time for the ringleader's father, and the cops, to show up.

* The end of 4x05, in which a couple of Mooks try BullyingTheDragon. Jonathan {{No Sell}}s the first punches, then pushes him away. The second also tries punching him, and Jonathan effortlessly lifts him and throws him away. Their boss tries shooting him, but Jonathan just [[BulletCatch grabs the bullets in midair]] and, in a state of TranquilFury, informs the BigBad that "now you've made me angry," and that "my Boss is going to be keeping an eye on you. And he gets much angrier than I do."

* When a couple of young punks park in a handicapped spot for no reason other than "screw the handicapped," Jonathan calls them out on it. They respond with your basic taunts of "What's it to you?" and "What are you going to do about it?" Jonathan seems to back down, and the punks go on about their business. They return to find their car flipped upside down in the parking spot.

* Another time, a junkie tries to shoot Jonathan in a shop, who merely catches the bullet, gently tells him "that's a no-no," and brings down a pile of fruit, so that the man slips and falls. When being hauled away from the police, the junkie suffers a total BSOD.

* Although the show was pretty well, blah, from an action viewpoint, one episode of ''Highway to Heaven'' featured the main character go from mild-mannered helpful angel to Wrath of God on a group of murderers, standing in the middle of a bullet riddled room as they uselessly load shotgun blasts at him while he kicks their asses.
