Hancock
2008
Hancock is a superhero whose ill-considered behavior regularly causes damage in the millions. He changes when the person he saves helps him improve his public image.

"Gotta wonder, though. What kind of bastard must I have been, that nobody was there to claim me? I mean, I'm... I'm not the most charming guy in the world, so I've been told, but... nobody?"

- Origin story
Villain's plot:
Pretty basic “revenge against the person who incarcerated me” trope, but you could make an argument that Hancock is his own villain.
Rankings:
I enjoyed the non-traditional moments: a hero who isn’t afraid to lop a criminal’s hand off, or chuck a view out of a high-story building.
It’s Will Smith. Always brings his A game.
Is it bad that I legit prefer his hobo costume more than the real one?
Notes
Probably suffered a bit from not being a well-known comic property, but still a very interesting story.
