History CatchPhrase / ComicBooks

** Kite Man says "Hell Yeah!" a lot. The origin of this catchphrase though, is [[CerebrusRetcon far sadder than you'd expect.]]

* ''ComicBook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'': 90% of the time, "I am Groot!" is [[PokemonSpeak the only thing you'll hear Groot say]].

** In Creator/GrantMorrison stories his catch ... noise is "-hh-". This sigh can represent impatience with his allies' methods, irritation that they're second-guessing him or trying to get him to socialise, or even grudging respect. He also uses it where other people might laugh. Similarly, Damian Wayne has "-tt-", usually directed at Dick Grayson.

** Ted Kord's trademark laugh - "Bwahaha!" - is so recognisable that it definitely qualifies as a catchphrase.
** Averted with Jaime Reyes, though he does have a VerbalTic, brah.

** Daryl Zed, the eponymous character of a comic book inspired by Dylan Dog in the meta episode "Witch Hunt", uses exclamation "Jehoshaphat Jumper". The same exclamation is used by Dylan himself in an AlternateRealityEpisode "The Dark Days".

** And referring to himself as "the ever-lovin' blue-eyed Thing" and "the idol o' millions."
** Then there's his oft-mentioned "sweet Aunt Petunia" (no connection to the other, considerably un-sweet Aunt Petunia). She eventually appeared in person, and in defiance of expecations it turns out she's an attractive young woman. Presumably there's some big age-gaps in the Grimm family...
** Actually, it's established that Petunia was Ben's aunt by marriage, and that her husband, Ben's uncle, was several years older.

* The ComicBook/GreenLantern mythos has these coming out the wazoo. There's nine different Lantern Corps, each with their own [[BadassCreed Oath]] (Though Orange and White haven't had theirs revealed and Indigo's is gibberish).

** His sometime associate Misty Knight, in her position as the current coordinator of the Heroes for Hire, now has "Hello, hero. This is Control. Are you for hire?" This has already seen a number of variations in the still-new series, usually courtesy of Paladin. "Answer me this, hero: are you for hire?"

* ''ComicBook/SamAndMaxFreelancePolice'': Sam often says to Max "You crack me up, little buddy." This is changed around a lot though, usually changing parts with "You bust me up, little pal.", though in a western themed strip it became "You crack me up, ya mangy yella tailed varmint."

* Jack Point from ''ComicBook/TheSimpingDetective'' has one that comes in two parts. There would always be one person in ever story would end up asking Jack, "What's your point?" to which he'd always respond, "Comes right after the 'Jack.'" After this, something totally awesome would always end up happening.

*** '''"With great power comes great responsibility"''', That's the catchphrase of old Uncle Ben... If you missed it, don't worry, they'll say the line, Again and again and again! - Music/WeirdAlYankovic, "Ode to a Superhero"

** During his second stint as the ComicBook/GreenGoblin, Harry Osborne had the catchphrase "Gotcha!", used when Spidey realised he was behind a given plot (Harry's main motivation in this period being simply to mess with Peter's head).
** Mary Jane: "Face it tiger, you just hit the jackpot!"

** Superlopez's "Cachis la Mar!" (a family friendly "Holy shit/crap!")

** "Up, Up and Away!"

** During ''ComicBook/TheDeathOfClarkKent'', Conduit had the catch phrase, "I know."

'''Supergirl:''' That's too bad! Because I like making noise. (thinking) So not my best catch phrase.

** "To me, my ComicBook/XMen"! - Charles Xavier, though Cyclops booted him from a leader position due to SuperDickery and took the catchphrase up himself.

* [[ComicBook/PaperinikNewAdventures Xadhoom]] may had transformed herself in a PhysicalGod and spent every minute of each day from then to avenge her race,but she never forgot when she was simply Xado,a scientist that loved dancing. Her battlecry is :"Let's dance!".

** Bane likes to crack people's backs with the phrase "I will break you!"

* "[[Characters/NewGodsDarkseid Darkseid]] IS!"

** Quickly, ToTheBatNoun!

** ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}'s sidekick Bob:Agent of Hydra will also spout this and other propaganda such as,"HAIL HYDRA! Cut off one limb and two more shall take its place."

** Dredd himself has "I ''am'' the law." However, a ''Walter the Wobot'' strip from before this really caught on insisted that Dredd's catchphrase was "Drokk it!"

* ''Comicbook/BlueBeetle'' Ted Kord's trademark laugh - "Bwahaha!" - is so recognisable that it definitely qualifies as a catchphrase.

* [[ComicBook/IncredibleHulk HULK]] SMASH!!!

** This got meta in Dan Slott's 21st-century Surfer series. New pal Dawn Greenwood assumed from the catchphrase that the board was '''named''' "Toomie" - and now it is.

* [[ComicBook/NextWave Aaron Stack]] [[Creator/JackKirby the Machine Man,]] at least after his alien abduction-induced [[CharacterizationMarchesOn depresson:]] "My robot brain needs beer." He also started calling humans "fleshy ones."

** With great power ComesGreatResponsibility.

** [[spoiler: His true self, [[ComicBook/TheImmortalHulk The Devil Hulk]], has a catchphrase of his own that he utters from time to time]]:

** Colossus has "By the White Wolf". Prior to [[TheGreatPoliticsMessUp the fall of the Soviet Union]], he was known to say "Lenin's ghost" or "Lenin's beard".

* Comicbook/{{Daredevil}}'s nemesis Comicbook/{{Bullseye}}: "Bullseye."

* Grid, the Crime Syndicate's EvilCounterpart of Cyborg, tends to say "have a nice day" after following orders in ''ComicBook/ForeverEvil''.

*** and when they were trying to be DarkerAndEdgier, “I’m the Goddamn Batman!”

* ComicBook/{{Luke Cage|HeroForHire}} has "Sweet Christmas!"

* ComicBook/WonderWoman, in the old days, would say "Suffering Sappho!" This was writer Charles Moulton's tongue-in-cheek TakeThat to MoralGuardians who claimed she was secretly a lesbian, and it fell out of use when Moulton left the book. She had about a half dozen similar exclamations that lasted her throughout the Silver Age, though, including "Great Hera!", "Thunderbolts of Jove!", "Neptune's Trident!", and "Shades of Pluto!" Nowadays she is more likely to say "Great Hera!" or "Holy Hera!"
