[[File:Schlock20191029-panel5.jpg|frame|link=Schlock Mercenary|Tagon tells it like it is.]]
Examples of {{TOPLEVELPAGE}}s from {{SUBPAGENAME}} include:
* ''[[Penny Arcade]]''. "I will open one of my six mouths, [http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/04/10/ and I will sing the song that ends the Earth."]
{{quote|"Will you face me? [http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2003/03/10/ This tube goes by many names, some you are not worthy to hear.]
Line 11 ⟶ 15:
* ''[[Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures]]'', [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_127.php anyone?]
** Subverted [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_337.php here], too.
* ''[[Tales of the Questor]]'': What triggers this boast can be seen [https://web.archive.org/web/20130226234556/http://www.rhjunior.com/totq/00309.html here]. "I'm the freaking Questor of Freeman Downs! I have slogged through the Dire Swamps, killed a Gragum god-priest and three of his followers single-handed, and waded thru an army of shadow wights to kill a rat-king. I also happen to be the guy who just hospitalized half you big, bad gang, jackass. I have a badge, an arsenal, and a license to kill. The only reason you're still alive is that I didn't want to mess with the paperwork. So feel free to drop by any time, dillweed. I see you, or your friends within [[American Customary Measurements|a hundred miles]] of my town and I'll gut you like a trout."
** Subverted a couple of panels later; while the threat takes, the "badass" in question requires a [[Vomit Discretion Shot]] from the stress of it, which can be seen [https://web.archive.org/web/20130226234530/http://www.rhjunior.com/totq/00310.html here].
** [https://web.archive.org/web/20130228063153/http://www.rhjunior.com/totq/00597.html He does it again!] With additional recap!
{{quote|"''You want to know who I am? I'll tell you who I am-- '''I'm Quentyn, son of Quinn, the Questor of Freeman Downs.''' The '''Gnomes''' call me '''"Hunter of Shadows."''' The '''Gragum''' call me '''"Little God-Slayer."''' The gangs of the Tumbledowns call me '''Sir''', if they know what's '''good''' for them. I am one of '''Oberon's Untouched''' -- '''kissed''' by the '''White Stag''' and '''blessed''' by '''two ladies''' of the '''Seleighe Court'''.

And before I leave this duchy I will add a '''dead dragon''' to that list. '''I am a Rac Cona Daimh, and I am nothing to be trifled with.''' Do you have any '''other''' questions, Your Grace?''"}}
** The spin-off, ''[[Quentyn Quinn, Space Ranger]]''. also has one: when Commander Quinn tells some space pirates [https://web.archive.org/web/20120619085715/http://www.rhjunior.com/QQSR/00012.html why some very nasty aliens listen to the Racconans].
* Chaos of ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'' had one recently, while the left half of her body was amorphous claws and teeth, right before she leaves Magus to eternal isolation in the spirit realm:
{{quote|'''Pandora''': You've asked many time what my name is. I have had many, but I will give you the full one I have chosen for myself.'' '''Pandora. Chaos. Raven.''' ''Refer to me as one or all. I will live up to that name. Ponder that in your newfound isolation.
Line 72 ⟶ 76:
'''Black Mage:''' ...is that a yes? }}
** [http://www.nuklearpower.com/2004/08/26/episode-455-self-fulfilling-stupidity/ "Yeah, I sweat wisdom for breakfast."]
* ''[[The 10 Doctors]]'': [https://web.archive.org/web/20100531064115/http://comics.shipsinker.com/2009/02/16/the-10-doctors-page-185/ Dalek Tor is supreme].
* ''[[No Need for Bushido]]''—Parodied:
{{quote|'''Yorikiro:''' Call me Yorikiro, Master of Martial arts and wielder of a secret knowledge of fighting style so mystical and great it has no name for all those who witness is perish before they can grasp the immense power before them!!!!
Line 94 ⟶ 98:
** [[Played for Laughs,]]... but he [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2010-10-31 did] make good of his threat:
{{quote|'''Karl Tagon''': Surrender now, Damico. I have a monkey and I know how to use it.}}
** And, much later in the comic's run, we get the scene which provides this page's image.
* ''[[Sister Claire]]'' gives us "[http://www.sisterclaire.com/?p=1034 I'm sorry to tell you] that our name, ''Sisters of Mercy'', is a bit misleading. [[God]] shows mercy. ''We don't''."
* ''[[Fans]]'' had this recent bit with [https://web.archive.org/web/20100617101225/http://faans.com/index.php?p=1971 Rikk and Marc] after Hus claimed that Rikk was beaten the last time he was in the field:
{{quote|'''Rikk:''' First off, I got sucker-punched by [[Captain America (comics)]]. That's like giving Michael Phelps a head start. Secondly, I've spent the last five years with two remarkable women. One of them's one of the toughest, cleverest fighters I've ever seen anywhere. The other is Rumiko Tanaka Oberf! We work hard, but we do make time for each other. And when we're not vegging or sharing a bed...we like to spar! Marc and I aren't here to impress you, Hus. We're here to bring you to justice.
'''Marc:''' Bully needs a beatdown! (To Rikk) Yours was way more wootworthy.
Line 126 ⟶ 131:
*** Bonus points for delivery: {{spoiler|the note is stuck on a spear in the middle of a crowded square, along with his would-be assassin's [[Decapitation Presentation|head]].}}
** His brother, Dave, [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004728 has one earlier]:
{{quote|<span style{{=}}"color
* [[The Dragon Doctors|I am a total magical badass.]]
** Also, more recently:
Line 148 ⟶ 153:
{{quote|'''Demon:''' I'm going to rip you apart.
'''Dies Horribly:''' You've already done that. It didn't work. }}
** Big Ears' response to the flea demon's attempt to manipulate him is quite fantastic:
{{quote|'''Big Ears''': You're right, flea demon, I am indeed a valuable soul. I am this realm's protector and I swear that I will personally carry this axe back to the depths of hell before he can escape it.
'''Flea demon''': You insult the Sacred with your words! He will rip off your skin and replace it with your childhood nigthmares! He will scream your name in a language so old, that...
'''Big Ears''': Yes, he will. He ''will'' scream my name. In this way, he will speak to me. But I will not answer him.}}
* ''[[Nahast: Lands of Strife]]'' has Xiang. [http://nahast.spiderforest.com/archive.php?comic_id=272 "NOTHING moves a dwarf!"]
* ''[[Zebra Girl]]'': [http://zebragirl.net/?date=2009-06-08 Sandra goes off on a rant about how she's in charge], only for it to be interrupted:
Line 154 ⟶ 163:
'''Jack:''' Sure. I'm also Plaid Jack Clarity, the Tartan Sorcerer. Walker in infernal fires, he of the intersecting lines. This is my friend Tomie. {{spoiler|And you're a bad, bad demon.}} }}
