* Mr. Bones of [[The DCU]], originally; it's been quietly disposed of since then.
* [[Len Wein]] had The Demon ([[Etrigan]]) start doing this in ''DC Comics Presents''. Its later use by Alan Moore in ''[[Swamp Thing]]'' made it stick... sometimes with painful results when the author of the day is less than skilled at poetry.
** [[Peter David]] did actually get him to rhyme orange... with "car hinge", since he was standing on a car door.
** Depending on how intrusive Etrigan is, Jason Blood's (who shares a body with Etrigan) real curse is occasionally declared to be having to listen to the demon talk all the time.
** This has been confirmed to be a common trait among demon nobility; it takes effort on Etrigan's part to talk ''without'' rhyming.
** While he does not do this in his guest appearances in ''[[Batman: The Animated Series]]'' (except one line at the end) and ''[[Justice League (animation)|Justice League]]'', he does in ''[[Harley Quinn (TV series)|Harley Quinn]]'', the MA-rated cartoon allowing for quite a bit of raunchy humor with the rhymes.
* In ''[[Batman]]'' #525, Mr Freeze's [[mook]]s, Ice and Cube, do this. At least Ice does, speaking after Cube and rhyming with what he said. (This was ''before'' [[Batman: The Animated Series]]' backstory for Freeze became [[Ret Canon]]'d into the comics).
