* ''[[Penny Arcade

* In a ''[[VG Cats]]'' [http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=280 strip] in which they parody "The Word" section of ''[[The Colbert Report]]'': "We didn't spend YEARS as social outcasts to watch you assholes fuck this up. We memorized the [[Killer Instinct|Ultra Combos]]. We wrote down pages of passwords. WE defeated the [[Mega Man (video game)|Robot Masters]], [[Punch Out|knocked out Tyson]], and SAVED THE FUCKING PRINCESS."
* In ''[[A Miracle of Science]]'', Benjamin delivers this boast to a difficult police sergeant: "Sergeant, I've just been to the outer solar system and back to track down a mad scientist. I've been shot at with secret weapons, destroyed robots that could take down tanks, and fallen from orbit without benefit of a re-entry vehicle. I don't need your rudeness added to my troubles, okay?" (He later shortens that last incident to "I've plunged down from orbit on ''wings of fire''".)
Line 8:
* ''[[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.
* ''
** 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 [http://www.rhjunior.com/totq/00310.html here].
** [http://www.rhjunior.com/totq/00597.html He does it again!] With additional recap!
Line 54:
** His dad gets a minor one [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20030418 here.] "I will go by myself. Let the people see that I ''can''"
** Tarvek got [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20110117 one] similar to Gil's "in control" rant recently
** Agatha learned to [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20090429 do this], too, after she takes responsibility for her family's nest.
{{quote| '''Agatha''': I am Agatha Heterodyne. You are in ''my'' town. In ''my'' castle. And ''in my way''. This little play of yours is ''over''. [...]] ''One way or another''. }}
::: ...and later, [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20111228 when] her minions tried to keep her out of the harm's way -
{{quote| '''Vanamonde''': You've ''done'' your part! You ''fixed'' the Castle! The ''Doom Bell'' rang! At this point, what else ''can'' you do? <br />
'''Agatha''': Wrong question. ''I'' am the ''Heterodyne''. ''My'' town is under attack. The ''question'' is: WHAT ''CAN'T'' I DO? }}
* [[A Wizard Did It|Sarda]], [[Jerkass|of all people]], in ''[[8-Bit Theater (Webcomic)|Eight Bit Theater]]'':
{{quote| "'Wizard'? Are you kidding me? '''Wizards''' do parlor tricks. '''I''' throttle the heavens!"<br />
Line 66 ⟶ 71:
{{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!!!!<br />
'''Ina:''' How about I just call you Yori?<br />
'''Yorikiro:'''
* ''[[Last Res0rt]]'' just had a good one.
{{quote| '''Slick:''' You see that? Nobody defies my orders twice! My blood runs through the cracked table! My family is why Arel's flags bear crimson hands! I have come for my freedom and nobody, mortal or otherwise, will stop me! I am Slick Mordecai Giovanni, Don of Third Jerusalem! All evidence to the contrary will be dead once I escape! And I will escape, because this... is my [[Title Drop|last resort]]!}}
* In ''[[The Adventures of Dr. McNinja]]'', Dr. McNinja does this on his sidekick's behalf. To [[Dracula]], no less.
{{quote| '''Dr. McNinja:''' Do you think I run around with a '''12-year-old boy''' because I like his inferior grasp of girls and higher level math? Do you think I left him with my psychotic parents because I wanted him to '''die'''? No, you undead pale ponce! Gordito is the effing [[Badass|Badass Kid!]] So go ahead and finish up your masterful scheme to make me let you kill me, because Gordito's going to slap around whatever ghost lackey you have like he was a pinata on the mexican day of the dead!}}
* ''[[Dominic Deegan]]'' spells it out for Celesto at the climax of the Storm of Souls story arc:
{{quote| "No matter how furious or destructive a storm may be, there is '''always''' a center of peace and serenity. [[Tranquil Fury|I am the champion of balance...]]'''[[Tranquil Fury|the eye of the storm.]]'''<br />
"I have done battle with demons and stared into the face of hell itself. You think I'm scared of a racist bully with a crush he can't handle?" }}
Line 92 ⟶ 97:
** Also, Fei quoting Liu Feng:
{{quote| "I don't know what it's like to hit a man twice."}}
* Sidney Burns delivers one that is essentially his declaration of war in ''[[Mob Ties]]''. While simple, when combined with the actions he is performing, it helps to establish his position as {{spoiler|the number one badass in the [[Mob Ties]] universe.}}
{{quote| {{spoiler|"If any of you mob assholes even think of hurting Mika... Just remember one thing..." * crushes a steel chair with one hand* "First... You'll have to go... Through Me." * delivers a [[One-Hit Kill]]* }}}}
** And another, which basically states what Sid's ultimate goal is from that moment in the comic onward:
Line 124 ⟶ 129:
* Subverted in ''[[Our Little Adventure]]'' when an Elven Ranger bounty hunter named [http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0122.html Keppra Gemflower] introduces herself this way to Umbria. Umbria wins initiative in that combat, immediately casts hold person and [[Combat Pragmatist|rushes over and kills the Elf]] via coup de grace.
* In an Alttext from ''[[Xkcd]]'':
{{quote| "The moment their arms spun freely in our air, they were doomed
* ''[[The Last Days of Foxhound|"(Liquid)'s my son. I eat F-16s for breakfast. Any of this getting through to you?"]]''
* In one ''[[Skin Horse]]'' strip, Unity, chained up by a secret cult of Noraties Public, claims to "eat steel like this for breakfast". In the next strip, she meets the Abbess, and Notary Paul warns the Abess she's trouble:
Line 133 ⟶ 138:
{{quote| '''Wanda:''' Rejoice. Despair. Fate does n-not care. Each knotted mmind entwined. Each sso...soul, another's bind. And blind... though we are led, in time, we d-...do know when '''to cut a thread!'''}}
* "[[Jack (webcomic)|My name is Jack, and I'm going to kill everyone in this room]]."
* ''[[Goblins]]'' gives one to Dies Horribly of all people
{{quote| '''Demon:''' I'm going to rip you apart.<br />
'''Dies Horribly:''' You've already done that. It didn't work. }}
* ''[[Nahast: Lands of Strife
* ''[[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:
{{quote| '''Jack:'''Sandra... doesn't it worry you how I'm not worried?<br />
'''Sandra:'''No. Because you're an idiot.<br />
