OK, here is another game from the guy who brought you the original "What's that smell?" thread. Here's how it works: someone posts a quote that has appeared in a comic book, and everyone else gets to guess who said it. The point of this thread is to revisit some of the coolest and most famous lines in comic-bookdom.
Note: The quote should be solvable by anyone who is familiar with the character. An example of a bad quote would be: "Get behind me!" Seriously, anyone could have said this in many, many comics. A better quote would be: "Get behind me Lois! It's the evil Dr. MLash and his vibrating Gamma-gong!" The inclusion of Lois makes the speaker recognizable as Superman, or at least someone from the Superman mythos.
Finally, if no one get the quote within 1 week, ANYONE may jump in and post their own quote. (If no one has gotten in that time frame, no one is going to get it anyway.)
Ok, here we go, starting off with one of my favorites:
"By the zesty zither of Zeus!"

That's it, Chaim! The quote is from Hercules first battle with the Hulk way back in "Tales to Astonish." Give us a quote, CMK!

I believe that question was asked by Arcade, during the confrontation between him and Doctor Doom in X-Man #145-147. A little matter of property rights, in which Arcade had set up one of his Murderworlds into a castle that Doctor Doom owned (but wasn't occupying at that time).

IIRC the character's name was Klaw, a being of "living sound" in humanoid form.
And shame on you for making me remember something from Secret Wars. ( )

And there's no shame in remembering the original Secret Wars. The shame is if you have any serious memory of its ill-conceived, sloppily-crafted successor.
