There are a lot of great catchphrase moments in pop culture and comics: Superman’s “UP, UP AND AWAY!” Captain Reynolds’ “We aim to misbehave.” Matter-Eater Lad’s “That makes me hungry… and you DON’T want to make ME hungry!” Great taglines, catchphrases and slogans are the way of the world when it comes to our favorite stories, but at the top of the heap has to be the Bill Woodson-spoken opening lines of ‘Battle Of The Planets’, where he intoned in a majestic baritone that the team of ninja orphan cyborgs were “Always Five, Acting As ONE!” It’s a magnificent boast on the surface of things, one that’s hard to beat, leading to today’s voice-over query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) thinks that maybe “Avengers Assemble!” is on that level, but there aren’t a lot of others, asking: Does any fictional character or team have a tagline/catchphrase cooler than “Always Five, Acting As One?”

Hmm, not sure. I always liked Professor X using “To me, my X-Men!” and it was twice as cool when Cyclops did it.
I dunno if it’s a catchphrase, but I always liked the chant: “Gooba-gobble. Gooba-gobble. We accept her. We accept her. One of us. One of us.”
Yeah, that counts.
EXTERMINATE!!!
“Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try.”
“I love it when a plan comes together”
“Make it so”
“Resistance is Futile”
“Activate interlock, dynotherms connected, infracells up, megathrusters are go!””
Wonder Twin Power Activate! (okay not really, but that one always made me giggle.) Real vote is a x2 on EXTERMINATE
