* Logan's penultimate confrontation with Colonel William Stryker. Brian Cox and Hugh Jackman's acting is fantastic and the performance riveting. Although Origins added a bit of meat onto his character's bones, (considering Stryker flips between the fatherly general of an experienced soldier to a man petting his run-away dog.) We can't be sure of his true intentions to Logan; except of course when he tells his old war buddy to abandon the X-men. To which Jimmy Howlett replies with a frank [[ShutUpHannibal!]]

* The bit where about a dozen heavily armed troops are stationed in front of a door to prevent Magneto from coming through. Before they even see him Magneto uses his control of metal to rip every pin out of the multiple grenades that each of these {{Mooks}} are carrying. Boom.

** The faceless Mook gets one too when, with his eardrums still being fully assaulted, ''still'' has the strength of mind to aim his gun and fire, putting her out instantly.

-->'''Logan:''' You picked the wrong house bub!

-->'''Laurio''': Have a nice sleep, Lensherr?
'''Magneto''': There's something different about you today, Mr. Laurio.
'''Laurio''': Yeah, I ''was'' having a good day.
'''Magneto''': [gets up] No, no it's not that...
'''Laurio''': Sit down.
'''Magneto''': ... No.
'''Laurio''': [draws his club] I said, sit your ass down!
[He starts for Magneto, who holds up his hand. Laurio stops forcibly]
'''Magneto''': What could it be...?
'''Laurio''': [gasps] What - are you - doing?
'''Magneto''': Ah, there it is...
[He widens his palm, and Laurio lifts into the air]
'''Magneto''': Too much iron in your blood!
[He draws a cloud of iron particles out through Laurio's chest, and squeezes them into a set of ball bearings. Laurio collapses in a blood-soaked heap.]
'''Magneto''': Mr. Laurio, never trust a beautiful woman. Especially one who's interested in ''you''.

-->'''Logan:''' You want to shoot me? ''*Snikt!*'' Shoot me!

--> '''Logan:''' [[ScreamingWarrior '''rrrrrrrRRRRRRAAAAARRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!''']] ''(Leaps down from the mansion's staircase landing and piles the military boys under three hundred pounds of muscle and adamantium. They're sliced and diced in the tussle. Two more show up behind Logan with guns raised. Without even looking, he impales their lower legs, lifts them back and through the air for a twelve foot double body-slam and sheathes his claws in front of the awed X-kids!)'' Let's go!

* For Mystique, when she infiltrates Stryker's base, kicks ass, and then flips them the bird as she slides under the blast-doors.

--> '''Logan:''' She's good.
--> '''Erik:''' You have ''no'' idea.

* Nightcrawler saving Rogue via ''no line of sight'teleportation'' when she gets sucked out of the Blackbird and is falling twenty thousand feet. Plus Magneto catching the entire thing just before it hits the ground.

* Nightcrawler saving Rogue when she gets sucked out of the jet in ''X2.'' And Magneto catching the entire thing just before it hits the ground.

* Rogue piloting the jet in ''X-2''. Also, earlier, when she stopped Pyro (who was still her friend at the time) from rampaging.
** Pyro's rampage, at least until it goes too far, is awesome in itself. Considering the one idiot cop overreacted and shot Wolverine, they had the beating coming.

'''Magneto''': What could it be...?

* Magneto making his escape from his plastic prison. The little smirk on his face when he senses metal in range of his abilities for the first time in months, backed up by Ian [=McKellen=]'s masterful dialogue delivery. A very [[{{Squick}} squicky]] and highly memorable death, certainly one of the better {{Mook}} dispatches of all time.

'''Magneto''': [gets up] No, it's something else...\\

'''Magneto''': No.\\

'''Laurio''': [gasps] What are you doing?\\

* The first time Wolverine stabs one of Stryker's soldiers ''right through the chest''. Until that moment, a lot of people were expecting Movie Wolverine to be sort of like [[AnimatedAdaptation Animated]] Wolverine, who doesn't really do that to living people (and which he never really did in the first film). Once it became clear that ''this'' version of Wolverine had no problems slicing living opponents, fans could truly anticipate the badassery to come and get it when Wolverine roars into the mooks with an animalistic berserker fury.
