Line 44:
* [[Chained to A Railway]]: Jonah does this to a corrupt [[Pinkerton Detective]] (who has just murdered a 13 year old boy) in #13 of the original series.
* [[Cigar Chomper]]
* [[Cigar Fuse -Lighting]]: A favourite trick of Jonah's.
* [[Conveyor Belt O' Doom]]: In "The Pearl" in ''Jonah Hex'' v.1, #64, Jonah and the [[Girl of the Week]] are tied up and dropped on a conveyor belt leading into a copper smelter.
* [[Crusading Widower]]
Line 62:
{{quote| "Experience. I've had an interesting life."}}
* [[God Is Evil|God is Cruel]]: Jonah expresses this view on several occasions, believing that the kind, just God of Christianity is just a comforting delusion for those who don't know God as well as he does.
* [[Gone Swimming, Clothes Stolen]]: Happens to Jonah in issue 9 of the original series. Jonah is forced to chase the thief, and the theft turns out to a plot to lure him across the border into Mexico.
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: He's a decent enough guy when put to the moral test, but his scarring leads to a lot of assumptions from others.
* [[Guns Akimbo]]
Line 77:
* [[Joker Jury]]: Jonah is subjected to one in ''Weird Western Tales'' #30. Quentin Turnbull captures him and puts him on 'trial' for "treason and other high crimes against the Confederate States of America". The 'jury' consists of "your former comrades in arms, some of them survivors of the very massacre you perpetrated".
* [[Just Like Robin Hood]]: Railroad Bill
* [[Knife -Throwing Act]]: In "Sawdust and Slow Death" in ''Jonah Hex'' #15 (original series), Jonah joins a circus and becomes the unwilling target of an armless knife-thrower (possibly inspired by the silent movie ''The Unknown'').
* [[Libation for The Dead]]: Jonah pours one for {{spoiler|his father}} after watching die in ''Jonah Hex'' #69.
* [[Lodged Blade Recycling]]: In the graphic novel ''Jonah Hex: No Way Back'', Jonah stabs el Papagayo with the same knife Papagayo just stabbed him with: ''while its still stuck through his arm!''
Line 94:
* [[Pinkerton Detective]]: Pinkertons often appear (usually as antagonists) throughout the series.
* [[Pirate Parrot]]: Bandito parrot in this case. El Papagayo takes his name from his pet parrot.
* [[Politically -Correct History]]: Averted. Hex and other characters often have the sort of attitudes you'd expect from the 19th century. Hex himself is a subversion -- "progressive" enough to marry a Chinese woman, and treating all races, colors, and creeds equally... but only because he ''hates'' all races, colors, and creeds equally.
* [[Poorly-Disguised Pilot]]: [[US Marshal]] J.D. Hart features prominently in issues 42-44 of the original series, essentially acting as a co-star to Jonah in those issues. Hart was going to spun off into his own book, unofficially titled ''Dakota'', but that book never eventuated and Hart eventually returned as a supporting character in ''Jonah Hex''.
* [[POW Camp]]: The events of Fort Charlotte will haunt Jonah throughout his life.
Line 109:
* [[A Tankard of Moose Urine]]: This gem from ''Jonah Hex'' #53 (original series) (and at no point during this monologue does Jonah stop drinking):
{{quote| "Ugghh! Thet rotgut shore do taste nasty! Smells nasty! Tastes nasty! Got an aroma just like kerosene! A man'd have tuh be near halfway crazy tuh drink this stuff!"}}
* [[Teeth -Clenched Teamwork]]: Jonah ''really'' doesn't like Bat Lash, a frequent teammate, to the point when saving a drowning man and finding it to be Lash, [[Funny Moments (Sugar Wiki)|he threw him back in the river.]]
** He also hates working with Dr. Arkham since the guy is basically [[The Load]]. He only tolerates the man because Arkham knows more about Gotham than he does.
* [[Temporary Blindness]]: Happens to Jonah in ''Weird Western Tales'' #24. Needless to say a gang of outlaws comes gunning for him while he is afflicted.
* [[Train Job]]: Too many to count.
* [[Two -Headed Coin]]: In one comic, a Frenchman uses this to win a coin toss against Jonah, choosing to stay behind and make the [[Heroic Sacrifice]] holding off the Indians while Jonah gets the woman they were escorting to safety.
* [[US Marshal]]: J.D. Hart
* [[Vapor Trail]]: Jonah pulls one in ''Hex'' #18, lighting the fuel with his trusty cigarillo. The [[Mooks]]' last words are "That's a fuel hose, right?"
