"But there is nothing there, master? Why do you make me attack this nothingness?"
Before combat: "I'm gonna buy a sportscar, and then weld it to me. Like some kind of sportscar centaur. The first Freakshow Sportaur! Or maybe Centcar? Ah, I'll work out the details later, but it's gonna be AWESOME!"
When combat starts: "You won't stop my dream of an all leather interior!"
"Oh, what has science wrought? I sought only to turn a man into a metal-encased juggernaut of destruction powered by the unknown properties of a mysterious living crystal. How could this have all gone wrong?"
"I spent 1000 Mission Architect tickets and all I got was this stupid badge!"
The last mission of the Cloning Facility arc in City of Villains. You go into a bank, everyone panics, the guards draw their guns, you go up to the bank teller and say, "I'd like to make a transfer." You drain an Arch-Villain's bank account. While doing so, the Teller tries to say something, but: "No small talk." After the transfer is complete, she thanks you for not robbing them today.
This is an overlap with Good Bad Bugs. During Mender Ramiel's first mission, if you're playing as a character that can summon stationary pets (such as a Tree of Life or an Acid Mortar), they will also gain the awesome power of an Incarnate, granting them immunity to their own built-in immobilization. This allows them to follow you all over the mission and provide extra damage (even though you don't need it. At all.)
During one of the Praetorian invasion events in the Rogue Isles, an admin Roleplaying as Lord Recluse began to exhort his followers to protect the Isles' shrimp supply, because surely we weren't foolish enough to believe that our entire economy was based on an endless cycle of stolen money.
And at the end of a later invasion, the admins entered the game as a pair of War Walkers and began to pull Michael Jackson dance moves while handing out titles.
The admins provided a series of Funny Moments during the Praetorian Invasion in their roleplaying signature characters in the admin channels. Like this line from Emperor Cole in response to Neuron and Antimatter's bickering:
Emperor Marcus Cole: ENOUGH! Get back on track for this invasion or I'm turning this army around and we're going home!
And then Infernal's response:
Infernal: INFERNAL WANT MORE DEMONS. NO GO HOME
Positron's answer to a forum question about why he never lifts a finger to help the heroes dying at his feet:
For Valentine's Day 2012, they added "valentines" that the player could deliver to the intended recipient, or misdeliver them to someone else. One is from perennially captured Midnighter Percy Winkley to ditzy wannabe villainess Flambeaux; the alternate option is to throw it in a trash can "where it will never be able to harm the universe" – considered the correct choice.
