The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s most recent installment, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, brought superhero catchphrases back into the limelight with Human Torch’s “Flame on!” and the Thing’s “It’s clobberin’ time!” Though often absent from live-action films, such sayings are a staple of superhero comics. In a Vanity Fair interview from 2011, Stan Lee described catchphrases as “advertising for superheroes,” a key component of “selling” a character to prospective readers.The majority of Marvel’s most popular heroes have iconic quotes that they have repeated throughout the years, and that is true of the company’s premiere mutant: James “Logan” Howlett, better known as Wolverine. Though his penchant for calling others “bub” made its way into Twentieth Century Fox’s X-Men films, his most famous line never appeared on the silver screen, which is a shame, because it is one of the greatest quotes of the superhero genre.The opening of Wolverine #1 was narrated by Logan, who introduced himself to readers with what has since become his most iconic quote: “I’m Wolverine. I’m the best there is at what I do. But what I do best isn’t very nice.” He went on to clarify that the things he did best were “hunt” and “kill,” a blunt description that perfectly characterized Logan.
