Hermit Posted May 9, 2003 Report Share Posted May 9, 2003 "With great power, comes great responsibility." "Great Scott!" "Hulk is strongest one there is!" "I am Vengeance! I am the Night! I am Batman!" "It's clobberin' time!" "In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight, let those who worship evil's might, beware my power, Green Lantern's light!" If you are a lover of the super hero genre at all, you should recognize at least a few of these. Maybe more common to the Golden and Silver Ages, but any super hero can have one. Heck, identifying quotes are a traditional part of most Champion write ups along with background, appearance, etc. So, what are your favorite Champions identifying quotes, sayings, and battle cries? Assuming you use them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted May 9, 2003 Report Share Posted May 9, 2003 I've mentioned it before, so at the risk of being repetitive My all-time favorite "identifying quote" comes from the alien hero Myrmidon in Champions of the North. I can hear Superman or Captain America saying just this sort of thing to some megalomaniacal super-villain: "In my time, I have seen Evil with power that would make even you crawl back under your rock. And I have seen it fall." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobGreenwade Posted May 9, 2003 Report Share Posted May 9, 2003 It's not really comic-book or superheroic in origin, but I'm personally partial to.... "Die, you gravy sucking pigs!" Then again, there's always the ID cards of the government agency of your choice, followed by, "Division Six. We'll take it from here."

Nato Posted May 9, 2003 Report Share Posted May 9, 2003 I've always been partial to Duke Nukem quotes. "I'm here to kick ass and chew bubblegum. And I'm all out of bubblegum." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Liaden Posted May 9, 2003 Report Share Posted May 9, 2003 At the climax of Walt Simonson's "Sword of Doom" storyline in The Mighty THOR, Odin, Thor and Loki stand united against Surtur to keep him from "setting the universe aflame:" Odin: "For Asgard!" Thor: "For Midgard!" Loki: "For Myself!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Watts Posted May 9, 2003 Report Share Posted May 9, 2003 We used to joke that the battle-cry of the Defenders of Justice was, "Bulletproof, wait!!!" 'Cause, y'know, Jason had "Impulsive" and "Overconfident" as Psych Lims. Well, we thought it was funny. Many other adventures and encounters began, "Bulletproof, don't touch that!" The other running gag he had was that if the scenario involved any sort of unusual vehicle or mode of transportation, Bulletproof would end up driving/riding/flying it and crashing it before the adventure was through. Didn't matter what it was; zeppelin, submarine, spacecraft, camel- he crashed them all and almost always walked away unscathed. They'd usually burst into flames, too, like vehicles on the Simpsons. We were never sure why the camel blew up... dw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delthrien Posted May 9, 2003 Report Share Posted May 9, 2003 Hmmm... Likely the camel's second hump was a cleverly disguised incendiary device... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocMan Posted May 9, 2003 Report Share Posted May 9, 2003 The one that springs most quickly to mind was from a player in a brief Champions campaign I ran. Her name was Dynamo. She got really upset if you accidently pronounced it "Domino". Anywho, she was a short, red-headed Irish lass. She was the party brick, with absorbing powers that fed her strength. She quickly got nicknamed Thumper because she was always saying some variant of "I'm gonna Thump sumthin'." "Hush, or I'll Thump you but good!" "I'm gonna Thump you one!"

TheEmerged Posted May 9, 2003 Report Share Posted May 9, 2003 Personally, I use quotes from the Transformer's Movie, depending on the perceived outcome. "Me Grimlocke love challenge!" when I percieve that it's difficult but do-able. "Me Grimlocke kick butt," followed by the usually-inevitable "Me Grimlocke need new stragedy" when it goes as badly as I think it will. "You underestimate me, Galvatron," when someone gives me an assignment and then professes shock when I complete it (usually while other people are still arguing). "I've got better things to do tonight than die," when the obstacles are purely political and I'm going to get the job done regardless of what people think about it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "In a choice between two evils, I try to pick the one that doesn't involve me dying..." my chaotic-neutral DnD rogue, a twist on something Mae West said. "Always have a plan. Always have a backup plan, because the first one WILL fail." The Disruptor, my GM-PC in the current campaign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catacomb Posted May 10, 2003 Report Share Posted May 10, 2003 When Thor finally lost his cool and patience with Ultron standing there backed by the rest of the Avengers framed by a hole in the wall he had just made and wearing battle tattered clothes...possibly my most favorite quote of all time. Thor says it in a calm even voice by the way. 'Ultron...we would have words with thee.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karma Posted May 10, 2003 Report Share Posted May 10, 2003 Ultiman: I'm the best at what *you* do (and he was: VPP, only to copy opponents powers, only to a level one greater than the opponent). "You'd better hope I'm evil. Evil Gloats. Evil explains its plans at length. Evil [bANG, thump] Guess I'm not, huh?" Breakneck (Speedster Villian): "How much of a head start do you want? Not that it matters much" Agony (Pain Telempath): "Don't make me hurt you, Please, don't make me hurt you..." "Greater minds than yours have I faced, and greater minds have I defeated. Only once you learn to ignore the rules will you be able to play the game" KACE (PA Brick with less than perfect control of his STR): "Please don't do this! I know this dance...You hit me, I hit you, you break, no-bodies happy." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
