I'm not home to post the clip (at work behind firewall), but the scene from Transformer: The Movie where Optimus Prime says "Megatron must be stopped.", transforms, rolls out, and proceeds to singlehandedly take down damn near the entire attacking Decepticon force (that owned all the Autobots up to that point) as "You've Got the Touch" plays in the background, has to be the all time #1 hero highlight moment in the history of herodom.
Any genre.

I think I know which scene you are talking about and I rewinded that scene at least 10 times. Loved it.

Damn.
That's pretty awesome that this is your favorite heroic scene.
It's hella high for me too.
Optimus is on par with Supes and Cap as far as hero-status goes.

I just about squealed at 12:28
Yeah, which is sad. Solo-book Thor was always >= Avengers Thor, but now it's phucking ridiculous.
One of my favorite Cap moments ever though was him fighting Kang in single combat during the Kang War, which is probably one of the single greatest Avengers arcs of all time. It was pretty badass as Cap mastered the same fighting style as Kang in mere moments before sonning him.

Galvatron - " You figure it out" . He than turns into a canon and blows starscream away.
As a kid Transformers The Movie was like a life changing event. I was like 6 and an avid Transformers fan (what kid wasn't then?). That scene, and Optimus sacrifice death made me truly sad and I actually cried in the theatre (being 32 years old now and secure I can admit stuff like that, lol. I also cried watching An American Tale the following year. 80s cartoon films were the shit).
Anyway, another epic moment in herodom is from the first Matrix film. The Famous Hallway scene where Smith shoots Neo and leaves him for dead, then Trinity whispers in his ear about what the Oracle told her and her love for him and urges him to get up (he's dead at that point), and then he resurrects himself and unlocks his powers as The One. I remember the reaction of the audience when the Agents shot at Neo and he just raised his hand and said "No" and stopped all the bullets, then casually sonned Smith, dove in his chest and blew him up, then flexed and caused the Matrix to ripple. The whole theatre went nuts. That was a classic scene.

He didn't get killed right after that.He got mortally wounded, but not before putting Megatron in intensive care from a double hammer fist, and thus causing the entire Decepticon squadron to retreat.
What I meant was that he got a fatal wound right after that and died as a result
When Red Skull had the entire planet under his rule with the Cube, and Cap never gave up fighting him everywhere. He eventually killed him as well.
And that power went into Korvac who reshaped his universe many times in an effort to escape Cap. Which led to Korvac surrendering his power, which went back to RS getting the power back, and Cap killing him again.
Epic sequence for a mere "peak human".
