Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly Comic Book quotes

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!"

Hercules?

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!

This may not be the exact quote, but I'm sure someone will be able to identify the speaker and the scene:

"Why do you narrate everything you do? Do you have a tape recorder in there?"

"Of course, every utterance made by Doom must be preserved for posterity!"

Don't remember the scene, but the line stuck with me.

That was the response (giveaway that it was Doctor Doom), but who said the quote itself?

Spiderman?

Nope.

The Human Torch?

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).

No to both.

Hint: It was a villain.

Ummm...I have no idea..was it Juggernaut?

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. ( )

That's correct, BRM!

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.

Hmmm ... this is tricky, coming up with something which isn't either totally obvious or terribly obscure ...
How about:

"My net worth is flashing before my eyes!"

Blue Beetle?

No.

I'd think it would be Booster Gold that said that, considering he had no problems initially with selling his image to advertisers?

Simon Stagg?

It kind of sounds like the Thing from recently when he found out he was independently wealthy.

Here's a shot in the dark: Hiram Lodge, from Archie Comics.

Max Lord?

No.

Hint: the quote comes from the most recent issue of the character's series.
Here's some more dialogue from the same story (the previously-quoted character has the first and last lines):

"*Whew!* I ... I feel like I could use a vacation after all that!"
"A vacation? You've never taken a vacation in your life!"
"I know ... but I have this strange yen to pay a visit to the green hills of Scotland!"

Scrooge McDuck?

Yes!

The quotes are from "Return To Xanadu" by Don Rosa, just reprinted in Uncle $crooge 357.
