most overused cliches in comics?

"never been hit so hard in my life"

this line seems to pop up everytime a guy gets hit, it becomes pretty meaningless

bullet dodging

"I think I broke my hand/foot/arm/leg"

Clones

Strongest opponent I ever fought!

"It is inevitable"

I'm Batman!

😛

" limitless potential"

The bad guy telling the good guy the whole "Master Plan"

"bub"

Comic Cliches

My favorites:

Whenever heroes meet for the first time they MUST fight.

Any character can be thrown through a brick wall and get back up.

Shooting energy from hands: especially when it's non-descript generic energy that can knock down a wall but doesn't kill anyone or electrocute anyone or start any fires in-and-of itself. Or give people cancer.

Making jokes while fighting. Only good with spiderman and deadpool.

All teams have a strong guy.

See The Body: The law that says that a character is never dead unless you saw the body, took it home, inspected it, did an autopsy, burned it, scattered the ashes from a plane, and even then you can be only about 89 percent sure.

The Woman/Girl in the Shower for No Reason: soap/steam/water always cover the naughty bits, but it's still soft core porn, if one's honest about it.

Except for the old Avengers team of Cap, Hawkeye, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch... how did they survive anything?

Ant-man is technically a strong guy....

Exception proves the rule.

Horrible childhoods. I want a hero that is the comic equaivalent of Ferris Bueller, for a change.

Also, anything that's "infinite" or "potentially limitless". For the sake of everyone's sanity, these terms should never be used.

Stupid plot children.

.......

Yes i'm talking about Vulcan.

How Martial Artists manage to put Spidey on his ass.

How long Batman has managed to survive in the JL this long without dying.

Black Heroes coming off all hood n shit sometimes"We all dont sucumb to talking all ghetto"

In Marvel 616 Earth Only Important heirarchy make kids 2gther, like Magento's family tree spreads crazy, so does Reed Richard's family. Not to mention Scott Summers's kids .

How DC depends on a "crisis" to keep ideas fresh.

Hulk getting slaped around

Phoenix.... 😮 dont tell GS, but seriously live or die damnit.

FF is basically Reed with the UN on KMC...lol

The Wolverine jokes....we can still run with batkick though

bad guys turning good, only to turn bad again

letting reformed villains on your super team..even if they tried to kill you at one point

Costume changes followed by the inevitable change back
