Storyline
The powerful superhero John Hancock has become a joke because of his alcoholism and clumsiness. He has also become the most hated man in Los Angeles. Though he has saved many lives, he also destroyed a lot of property, costing the city millions every time he goes into action. When he saves the life of PR expert Ray Embrey from an oncoming train, the executive is thankful and believes he can restore Hancock's image as a true superhero. He brings the anti-hero home for dinner and introduces him to his son Aaron, a big fan, and to his wife, Mary. But for some mysterious reason Mary doesn't want Hancock anywhere near her or her family. Written by Rob Marshall, Chicago, IL

Trivia
The eagle on the back of Hancock's uniform is a replica of the Philadelphia Eagles logo used from 1948 to 1995. See more »Goofs
Factual errors: During the shootout scene outside the bank, the bullet holes in the police cruisers are dented in as if being fire from the side of the car the officers are hiding on. If the bullets were coming from the other side the holes should be bent outward. See more »Quotes
