Not a comics reference, but it was the first thing that popped into my head:

 

"Holy potatoes!"

 

1. Who said it?

 

2. Which movie?

 

Winner gets me coming over to their house to wax their no-prize (full detailing is extra).

75% of every Doctor Doom appearance has this in the title or splash:

 

"If this be Doomsday..." foreheadslap.gif

One of the all time best psych out jobs! If this was ever in a movie, it should be done with a Clint Eastwood voice over:

 

 

From UXM #133

 

Wolverine Speaking:

 

Hey BUB, I know what your thinking. "He's hurt, an he's five meters away from me and I got a full clip of ammo in my rifle."

 

Question is: can I kill Wolverine before he can reach me and cut me into shish-kebab with those freaky claws of his?

 

Well BUB Wolverine is virtually unkillable.

 

Wolverines claws are Admantium, the strongest metal known...capable of slicin' through vanadium steel like a hot knife through butter.

 

An five meters o' floor aint much distance at all... fer me.

 

Its your play, hero. Im waitin. [Weapon Drops to Floor]

 

Shoot, I was hoping you'd go for it!

"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!"

How about the ever-classic line from the "Captain America and the Avengers" video game (Sega Genesis):

 

"YOU will be the one who's escaping!" (I believe it was spoken by The Wizard, but I may be mistaken...)

 

Spectacular grammar, incredible graphics, the fruitiest version of the Vision that you ever did see... greatest game ever? Possibly.

 

Has anyone else ever played this? Do you remember the OTHER classic lines? I should dust off the old Genesis and throw this game in... wonder if the whole mess will still work? 893scratchchin-thumb.gif
