Catchphrases

n. a well-known sentence or phrase, typically one that is associated with a particular famous person

"In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evil’s might, beware my power, GREEN LANTERN’S LIGHT!”
Powered by will-power, the Green Lantern Core is one of the most powerful superhero organizations in the DC Universe. With hundreds and thousands of members, Green Lanterns reside on the planet Oa under the leadership of the ancients who created the Green Lantern rings themselves. This superhero catchphrase and oath is spoken every time Lanterns needs to recharge their rings, either with their portable lanterns or on Oa.

"HULK SMASH!"
Hulk was born out of the concept of the Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde complex. One side took the form of a brilliant scientist, Bruce Banner, while the other side took the form of a giant, mean, green fighting machine known as the Hulk. Banner was turned into Hulk after a laboratory experiment dabbling in gamma radiation. However, he can switch this persona off and on depending on how calm or angry he gets. The angrier he becomes, the stronger the Hulk gets and when his heart rate drops down to a calmer beat, he swiftly changes back into Bruce Banner. He managed to find peace in joining the Avengers to protect the world from any dangerous threats. Surely, you’ve heard of Hulk yelling, “Hulk Smash,” whenever he performs a strong punch towards a threatening enemy.

"Odin’s beard!"
Based on the Norse god of thunder, Thor is a Marvel superhero and a founding member of the superhero team, the Avengers. Thor is from the planet Asgard where he lives with his family and his father, Odin. He and his enchanted hammer manipulate weather and defend Earth against the bad guys. In moments of shock, awe, and enlightenment, you can hear Thor exclaim his famous catchphrase, “Odin’s beard!” This is clearly in reference to his father and his magnificent facial hair.

"It's clobberin' time!"
The Thing, also known as Ben Grimm, is one of the main members of Marvel’s The Fantastic Four. He is known for his rock-like orange body and his trademark sense of humor. He gained his superpowers after being exposed to cosmic radiation. This caused him to develop his rock-like hide, as well as his super strength, resistance, and stamina. Because his superhero catchphrase is used as a battle cry, he often shouts, “It’s clobberin’ time” right before starting (and mostly winning) a fight.

"Flame on!"
The Human Torch, otherwise known as Jonathan “Johnny” Storm, was hit by cosmic rays in his spacecraft. As a result, he was gifted with amazing powers. Now he is able to engulf himself in fire with the catchphrase, “Flame on.” As he is in this state, he can also absorb fire into his body and control it with ease. As part of the Fantastic Four, he fights alongside his sister, Susan, her husband, Reed Richards, and their friend, Ben Grimm.
