Superman 2 when Clark goes to the Arctic and regains his powers. The scene when he appears in Metropolis and confronts Zod, "General Zod, would you care to step outside?" THE BEST!

Thor remembering that he's the God of Thunder and blasting Hela with ungodly lightning may have been impressive, but I think Thor regaining his godhood to defeat the Destroyer in the first movie was a more iconic example of this list.

Spider-Man 2 is a true hero's journey. Plus, it was cool to see Peter re-take the mantle of Spider-Man. 🎉

You blew it. The FIRST Thor movie was him regaining his power in a triumphant scene where he proves his worthiness. I thought for sure it would be on this list.

Hitting Hela with the biggest blast in the history of lightning may have done nothing to faze her, but it was what Thor needed to kickstart “Immigrant Song” from Led Zeppelin’s _Mothership_ and third self-titled albums, all coming from realizing he didn’t need Mjolnir to be the best version of himself.

Seeing that lighting strike from Thor was amazing. 😁

Number 1 wasn't Neo regaining his power, he was awakening it.

River going slasher murderer mode in Serenity was such a great moment.

[DedricWilliamson]

What about when Thor regains his power in his first movie. The Destroyer seemingly kills Thor only to have Mijolnr rise up out of the ground, travel across the desert and Thor grabs it. That's the best power redemption scene ever.

[hodivr]

The first Thor. Hands down the best, especially when you see the reaction of Lady Sif.

Fitting how Godzilla gets the thumbnail since he’s the one who got it done right

[RayPruitt-jijx]

How did Superman II not make this list? I'm calling shenanigans!

[Dobuan]

When Lebowski lost his carpet but then gained it back.

[emiebex]

Spider-Man 2 - When Peter's Spider sense kicks in right before a car crashes through the window & nearly kills him & Mary Jane. It looked all the better in slow motion.

[mackers_]

Blade still one of my favourite- Although involved self sacrifice from his ally he gains all his strength back does the sunglasses catch before going on rampage. Scene just looked cool before going into his sword battle with Frost

[StoffelDilligas]

Thor proving he was worthy by sacrificing himself to save the town from the destroyer should be on here, not when he realises he's not the god of hammers.
He didn't have any power when he was banished

[calebbusing]

I love the moment when Godzilla regains his power and also when Spider Man regains his. I also like the moment when Superman regains his powers in Superman 2. That should have been on the list

Far From Home bridge battle when Peter completely lets his Spider-Sense, ...I mean Peter Tingle, take over and he just completely obliterates Mysterio's drones and even pinpoints Mysterio's real location. It is a true power regaining scene as Peter finally breaks out of Mysterio's illusions and begins trusting his powers more than his eyes. He even closes his eyes completely until he takes out each drone in the vicnity.

I enjoyed Thor becoming worthy in his first movie.
