Hancock : Isn't a comic book hero!

I have just watched Hancock and as a lover of the odd comic, Hancock is an example of how not to do a hero, anti or not!

Ok, he is super strong, can fly and is immortal, plus he is mystery, ie; his name is John Hancock, because a nurse called him it 80 years ago and he thought it was his name. So, he starts acting like a hero after some bad behaviour and some voluntary time in prison. Great stuff, then you want him to start investigating his origins, maybe a human lover and some mistakes along the way, but no, the movie completely throws you by say his friends wife is actually the same as Hancock, a 3,000 year old immortal! She is also Hancock's partner or even wife and they are maybe some kind of titans, or gods, but if they are close together they become mortal, huh? Why? This doesn't even make sense and to piss me off completely the movie ends with Hancock branding the moon with a heart! Come on!
