* Subverted in ''ComicBook/IronMan'' (v1) #279 -- when Iron Man confronts the alien overlord Ronan the Accuser, his enemy at one point utters the perfect set-up line "None may defy the judgment of--" to which Iron Man responds with "Judge this!" and gives him all hell with his repulsors at full power (normally enough to level, oh, a medium-sized office building). Unfortunately, this barely manages to make Ronan stagger a single step backwards, and he responds, seemingly even without sarcasm: "I find it... insufficient."

Either way, you discover soon after, by reading the Stranger's diary, that [[spoiler:the curse is not transmitted through bites]]. If Emily is still alive, she lets Ashley have it for saying that they should kill her on the basis of what turned out to be bad evidence, in pure AlphaBitch fashion.

* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'':
** Less heroic example: Cyborg, telling his robotic counterpart (he was disguised as "Stone" in order to [[TheMole infiltrate H.I.V.E. Academy]]) "[[{{Catchphrase}} Booyah]] ''this!''"
