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:

* "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.]]

* "Alright. So. Introductions first, along with whoever's your command squad. I'm Michael, I own this house and can crush you with a tank. Repeatedly, if necessary. Or with something heavier. How about you?" From this fic [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5474237/1/40k_ToyHammer called ToyHammer]

{{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.

* The awesome ''[[Doctor Who]]'' fanfic ''[[The Man qith No Name (fanfic)|The Man With No Name]]'' gives us this:

{{quote|"Yes, I think war is a fool's game. Yes, I believe life -- all life -- is precious. But tell me something, Vharaj -- did you ever listen to my ''enemies''' tales of me? If you did, it's obvious you weren't paying attention. The Daleks do not have emotion, Vharaj. They don't know fear. But do you know what they called me? ''Ka Faraq Gatri''. It means Destroyer of Worlds. I am the Bringer of Darkness, Vharaj. The Oncoming Storm. I've watched worlds and galaxies fall, and rise, and fall again. I fought the Vampires at the dawn of Creation, and I may yet witness the end of the Universe. I brought about the destruction of my own race, the deaths of my children, my grandchildren, my siblings, my friends, all in the name of peace, to save this Universe. So you tell me, Vharaj: ''what do you think I am capable of?"''}}

* 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." }}

{{quote|'''Ruby:''' “I’m not telling you anything. Now get out of Yokai, and ''stay out'' if you don’t want me using these vines as creatively, and as painfully as I see fit.”}}

** This is countered quickly by Kaze:
