-->His lightning could incinerate armies. My bones crumble beneath his fists. He is stronger than me. He is faster than me. He is more powerful than me in all ways but one. He cannot stop me. How could could he? I can't even stop myself.

-->Hear me well, [[TheIncredibleHulk Bruce]]... Your anger means ''nothing'' to me. I am the '''SORCERER SUPREME'''. I could snuff the feeble frame of your mortal life with the ''merest twitch of a finger''.

--> Lost cause? Of course it's a lost cause! That why we're ''here.''

*** The irony, of course, is that it's taken from a PercyByssheShelley poem showing how great works crumble over time.

* {{Aquaman}}:

** The BigBad of the "Shiftships" arc has one hell of a boast, which he delivers while [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomping]] Midnighter: "I can see inside your head, white boy. Did you think your little fight enhancements would let you kill ''me''? You've never fought anything like me, boy. I am ''Regis''. I have been raping and killing better humans than you for half a millennium. ''That's'' it. ''Fight'' me. Try to ''hurt'' me. I've lost count of how many men's fingers and women's nails have shattered on my skin. Your mothers and sisters will bear my children. You cannot stop me. Burn Albion, burn Europe-- it won't matter. I am Regis, warrior king of this entire filthy planet-- and I will wipe myself with your skin when I'm done violating ''yours''."

** To which Captain Atom had the perfect BadassBoast] in response: "[[AlwaysSomeoneBetter Why don't you try that shit with me..."]] (Hint: it doesn't work out too well for Midnighter. Or Apollo, for that matter.)

-->And you're still '''dumb enough''' to think you can beat me?

* ''{{LeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen}}'': "I'm Wilhelmina Murray. I've seen off Count Dracula, Professor James Moriarty and the Martian Invasion of 1898."

** NeilGaiman is good at these. During the first ''BooksOfMagic'', Zatanna takes [[TheChosenOne Timothy Hunter]] to a party attended by a wide variety of powerful evil magicians. We are led to believe that everyone at the party is either AffablyEvil or a PunchClockVillain on their off time, or both, until the party's host announces Tim's presence and announces that a hefty price has been put on his head ("Which need not be attached to his body"). Things are pretty tense until all of a sudden, [[{{Hellblazer}} John Constantine]] appears in a doorway, and everyone stops to watch him calmly light his cigarette.

--->* stabs his sword down into the soil, one millimetre before the nose of mole-Loki* "I can ''hear'' you, Loki!"
*** Loki is ''very'' fond of [[BadassBoast Badass Boasts]] in that comic. All the stories that feature him (which are the majority of the stories) has him praising himself at every chance he got and more often than not ending up getting called on it or having circumstances prove him wrong.

* [[TheIncredibleHulk Bruce Banner]] once forced [[BadAss Wolverine]] and [[AxeCrazy Daken]] to back down when he explained to them what it means to be one of the smartest people in the world ''and'' be dangerously unstable.

I'm not trying to scare you, I'm not trying to be the big man. I'm just saying: don't touch me again.\\

* From Lucifer

* While "I'm the strongest one there is" is the Hulk's catche phrase boast, recently he's simplified it. When told he can't do something, or asked how he thinks he can do something thought impossible, he responds "Sure I can/Easy, I'm TheHulk."

-->In Akkad and Elam they called me ''Baarish-Shammon'', and when they threw their children alive into the fire-pits it was my name that was on their lips.
-->In Egypt - in the reign of the ''heretic pharaoh Nephren-Ka'' - they called me'' 'She Who Stalks By Night', ''and they dressed my statues in the flayed skins of slaves to keep me from their doors.
-->In ''Kadath in the Cold Waste'' they knew and feared me. My true name is written on the walls of the tombs of ''Hidden Irem'', where no human eye has yet to read it.

-->In all these places, I was ''fear''. I was ''despair''. I was all this, and still so much more.
-->And you're still ''dumb enough'' to think you can beat me?

* MarvelAdventures, unlike the 616 universe, does not need wallbanging CharacterDerailment or wanton assholery to be badass:

--> "Yoda said it, Artoo: There '''is''' no try! Only '''do'''.. or do '''not'''! And '''I''' mean to do! [[DynamicEntry This can't stop me!]] '''Nothing's''' going to stop me! I'm '''Luke Skywalker'''... destroyer of the '''Death Star'''! I'm the one who dueled '''Darth Vader''' and lived to tell about it!"

--> "My name is Reed Richards. And ''these'' are my toasters." *curbstomp*

* From the MarvelUniverse, a variant: the badass ThankYourPray:

--> '''Wolverine''': Sucker, you just made the biggest mistake of your life. *SNIKT* And the last.

* "I am the [[GenderBender mother]] of Odin's stallion, Sleipnir. I am the father of Fenrir Sun-Eater, and of Hel Half-Rotted and of Jormungund the World-Serpent. I am Loki Scar-Lip, Loki Skywalker, Loki Giant's Child, Loki Lie-Smith. I am Loki, who is fire and wit and hate. I am Loki. And I will be under an obligation to no one." -- Loki (duh) ''TheSandman''

* Three simple words, my friends: '''KneelBeforeZod!'''

-->'''Lucifer''': A sermon in the thunder, Michael? Thunder only has one thing to say: it tells us how close the storm is.

* In Peter Madsen's comic ''Valhalla'', Tyr and Thor are having a contest that suddenly turns deadly by Thor's latest attempt to catch the Midgard Serpent. Tyr forgets the contest and starts acting like the God of War (Leaders) he is, snapping orders to help Thor. Thor's sidekick Tjatse doubts him... noting that they just learnt Tyr is of the Giants.
