Badass Boast/Fan Works: Difference between revisions

* An eloquent summation of [[Tank Goodness]]:

{{quote|"Yea verily, though I charge through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil, for I am driving a house-sized mass of "fuck you."|Anonymous Mammoth Tank crewman in [[Tiberium Wars]]}}

{{quote|"It's like a religious experience. Wanna know my prayer? Yea, though I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, I shall fear no evil! For I am driving 35,000 tons of F_ YOU."|Pilot {{spoiler|Mana Kirishima}}}}

* From the Fallout 3 Modus Operandi fanfic:

{{quote|{{spoiler|The Lone Wanderer:}}"If {{spoiler|Sarah Lyons}} dies, or I find Pitt raiders causing trouble in the capital wasteland again, I will come back here, and I will end you. I will kill you, your wife, and your child. I will burn your city street by street until there is nothing left. Every trace of your existence will be wiped from every file and noone will even remember that you ever tried. {{spoiler|I took down Raven rock. I took down the Landcrawler. I took down Evergreen Mills, twice. I have traveled to point lookout and back, marched into the Supermutant's den,}} and nothing has stood against me. Destroying this city would be child's play. You know the legends. Ignore them at your peril."}}

{{quote|{{spoiler|Ashur:}}"What's to stop me from calling my guards?

{{spoiler|The Lone Wanderer:}}"They're all dead, for one thing," }}

{{quote|'''Kai:''' Don't come closer--I'll shoot!

'''[[Big Bad|Hiroshi]]:''' Ad what, exactly, do you suppose that ''that'' will accomplish? }}

{{quote|"Know you that I am he who was once Longinus, centurion of the Tenth Legion. [[Julius Beethoven Da Vinci|I have been Roland, Beowulf, Achilles, Gilgamesh]]. I have been called a hundred names and will be called a thousand more before the world goes dim and cold. I have been killed a thousand times and every time I return. I fight for truth. I fight for glory. I fight for love. I fight for beauty. I am Hero. I will return."}}

* "I have walked as a god! I have fought as a god! You will not frighten me, LITTLE MAN!" Not a bad boast, but made all the more awesome [[Shinji and Warhammer40K|considering who's making it.]]

{{quote|"Who am I? I'll tell you who I am. I'm Simon, a member of the Gurren Brigade, but more importantly I happen to be the best driller in Jiiha Village. I hold the record for cleanest bedrock penetration (don't you dare laugh!), most feet of earth excavated in a single day, and best of all, fastest tunneling through granite and diamond. WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM?!" }}

** It's cool in the sense that we are made to remember that Simon is a fantastic and skilled driller, the Squick comes from being made to imagine (along with {{spoiler|Shinji}}) what those drilling skills can do to soft, human flesh.

** In an earlier arc, Mal slights Badger, who warns him to never come back to Persephone again. Mal's response....

{{quote|'''Mal''': Badger, I've got personal beef with Adelei Niska. And you know I've got all manner of trouble with the Alliance. Now, on top of all that joy, I've got a bunch of happy little low-life Browncoat terrorists who want me dead too. So, you want to join the party, feel free. Just get in line.}}

{{quote|''Sonic'': "My name is Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog. I move at speeds faster than you can imagine...I am the protector of Mobius, a dimension you have never even heard of. I am capable of channeling the power and even the wrath of Chaos when I chose to...I have saved moons tied to planets. I have watched the world burn. I have defeated Chaos, the God of Destruction with my ''own bare hands''...And you...[[Oh Crap|just]] [[Berserk Button|hurt]] [[Big Brother Instinct|my little brother]]!"}}

* From ''[[Pokémon: Storm Clouds]]'', [[Badass Adorable|Missy]] sets [[The Dragon|the Scyther]] straight.

{{quote|''Do you remember what I once told you? ‘You cannot control a marionette with only one string’. You dared to think you controlled me?!...I’ve made you dance this way and that for years now, {{spoiler|Giovanni}}. You were my plaything. Well, now you and your organization bore me. [[Pre-Mortem One-Liner|I’ll cut your strings.]]''}}

* Warren Mears in the ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' fanfic ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3460966/1/Difficult_to_Fight_Against_Anger Difficult to Fight Against Anger]'': "Oh, fine; this is like nickel-and-diming a [[Doom|cyberdemon]] when you're in [[Classic Cheat Code|god mode]]."

* Hal Jordan's threat to [[Jerkass God]] Hades during the [[JLA Watchtower]] Olympics plot. He's Badass enough as is...but he proceeds to remind everyone what he was between his snit as Parallax and his return.

{{quote|'''Hal:''' "ENOUGH! I have seen enough, Hades. I have seen you cheat time and again, and these heroes succeeded despite it all. You may be a god, Hades, but I was once the wrath of the God Himself. Do you dare risk that I have forgotten all your sins, which were once laid bare for me to see? You have lost. Return Troia and Nightwing to us, and call off your armies, before you face punishment that would make even the Furies cry." }}

** Thanks to that thread, [[Godzilla|The King of the Monsters himself has one]]: I WHO AM BORN OF FIRE AND DEATH. MY STEPS SHAKE THE FOUNDATIONS. MORTAL MAN FEAR MY WAKE. CALLED TO SHATTER THE CHAINS OF MAN. OF RAGE AND POWER NOW SET FREE. NEITHER GOD NOR MAN DARE CHALLENGE ME. WRATH AND RUIN LEFT OF MY FAIR PREY. BUILT ONCE MORE BY THEE DO I RETURN AGAIN. EVEN IN SUBLIGATION TO MY WHIM. DOTH DEVASTATION FORMED BY ARROGANCE WALK FORTH IN THE WORLD OF MAN. I AM UNSTOPABLE BY ANY WEAPON YOU CHOOSE TO WIELD. I AM KING UPON THE THRONE OF MONSTERS I AM GODZILLA I LIVE AGAIN!

** In addition there's the boast the thread created for one of the most [[Crossover|terrifying of tropes]], a boast that is specifically used as the page quote for that trope: '''I Am. Through Nature of He who is called "I Speak," I Have Come. Though my Feet shall Touch upon Two Base Earths, I Have Come. My Existence has been used in Stories for generations. One is a Tale of a Cunning Rogue. One is the Epic of a Courageous Knight. Through my Influence, these two shall meet. I Am the Literary Device of Unity. I Am the Trope of Mingling Worlds. I Am [[Crossover]].'''

{{quote|''' {{spoiler|Pieter}}:''' Ladies and gentlemen. This is Commander {{spoiler|Sohryu}}. As you are no doubt aware, in a few minutes we will be engaging the Seventh Angel. It has been two months since an Angel appeared. Many of you have been wondering if they had given up. I'm sorry to disappoint you, but they have not. We do not know how many there are. What we do know, though, is that they are more intelligent than we believed. In particular, we know they can feel fear. You are all part of an organization without precedent. You are not fighting for a nation, for a belief, or even for anything as simple as revenge for Second Impact. You are fighting to give humanity a chance to survive. When you eventually die, either in battle or surrounded by your grandchildren, you will walk past the pearly gates, look God in the eye, ''and tell Him to get out of your seat''. You will have earned that right for what you have done in your life. Doctor Akagi has told me the Angels are re-organizing. They are re-assessing. They are doing this because they are afraid. They should be. Today, we are going to remind them why. Pilots; bounce that thing's buggy ass all the way up the Stairway to Heaven. '''Evas Launch!'''}}

{{quote|"You think I'm scared of you, you overgrown luggage set!" Harry cried, standing in the middle of the scorched circle of ground the dragon's fire had made, his voice ringing across the stands. "I'm ''HARRY POTTER, '''BITCH'''!'' I killed my first unholy force of evil when I was ONE! YEAR! OLD! ''WITHOUT A WAND!'' I've been working in the porn industry ''SINCE BEFORE I KNEW I COULD WRITE!'' I've been supporting my little brothers since the orphanage threw us out for being too awesome when I was five! I do more insane things before dawn than both Weasley twins will ever pull off during their lifespan! Slytherin's fucking '''BASILISK''' couldn't kill me when it actually managed to get one of its fangs INTO MY ELBOW! I'm building a harem and so far no one's tried to stop me, even though they know I'm doing it! And now, '''I HAVE MY BOOMSTICK BACK!''' This isn't a counter attack, suitcase! Ever since the last time someone I loved was taken away from me, I've never stopped! My whole '''LIFE''' since then has been a counter attack! You? You're not even a choice flag event in the eroge of my life! "'}}

* ''[[Fuck the Jesus Beam]]'' has one in the eighth chapter.

{{quote|'''Rika''': ''You're underestimating us Gogglehead!''

'''Takato''': ''No Rika, [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner|You're underestimating me]].'' }}

{{quote|''Dalek Sec'': ''I COME FROM A [[Doctor Who|PLACE]] WHERE [[Sufficiently Advanced Aliens|GODS ROAM A-MONGST THE STARS]], WHERE THERE ARE [[Reality Warper|BEINGS THAT COULD E-RASE ALL OF RE-AL-ITY]] [[Physical God|WITH BUT A ME-RE THOUGHT]], [[Time Master|THAT COULD BEND TI-ME TO THEIR WILL]] [[Ret-Gone|AND FREE YOU FROM HAVING EVER BEING BORN]]!! YET, NO MAT-TER HOW PO-WER-FUL THEY ARE, [[The Dreaded|THEY ALL FEAR THE SAME THING]].''

''Kyubey'':''You?''

Rayquaza rose up from behind him, glaring at Haleigh.

"Do you really think," he whispered softly, "that you will stop me?" }}

{{quote|Kross:'Fate. Destiny. Predestined. SHUT UP! My brother died in my arms today, and you tell me it was fate? [[Screw Destiny|I'll make my own fate in this world]]. You just declared war on the Nightroad clan.And this is war like any other. The last man alive wins! [[Determinator|And I won't rest]] [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge|until I track down and destroy every one of you]] [[Rage Against the Heavens|and then take the fight to your pathetic god!]] This is my declaration. MY DECLARATION OF WAR!!!" (lightning flash emphasizes the word war)

Kross: [[One-Man Army|Fifty of you left, huh?]] At this rate, it'll take until dawn to crack all of your skulls. (cue [[Slasher Smile]]) }}

* During the "[[Prequel|Origins]]" arc in the ''[[Pony POV Series]]'', {{spoiler|Mimic}} gives one to [[Big Bad|Discord]] right before {{spoiler|her [[Dying Moment of Awesome]]}}:

{{quote|{{spoiler|'''Mimic'''}}: You float one inch towards [[Mama Bear|my daughters]], I'll kill you and seal your spirit in one of my horseshoes!}}

{{quote|Bellatrix cackled. "And you think you can stop me this time, little girl?"

"You know the power the Dark Lord knew not?" Hermione said. "''It's me!''"}}
