One of the fun little things about comic books is the oaths that the superheroes sometimes shout when they are surprised, frustrated, or amazed. Here are a few that I could remember, or recently stumbled across. Feel free to post your own.
Doctor Strange: By the ruby bands of Cyttorak; By the hosts of Hoggoth; The Vishanti preserve me; Vishanti be praised
Namor: by the silent Sargasso; Curse me for a wayward flounder
Superman (and others): Great Scott
Dr. Fate: By Ishtar
Wonder Woman: Sufferin’ Sappho
Nova: Blue blazes
Captain Marvel (AKA Shazam): Holey moley
Aqualad: Leapin lionfish; Suffering sunfish.
Little Orphan Annie: Leapin’ lizards

Cerebus: Tarim! Michelangelo/TMNT: Cowabunga! Spider-Man 2099 (and other 2099 characters): Shock Galactus: I hunger! (sorry, added a bad guy there, though he's more a "force of nature" technically) Lego Robin: Tweet tweet, on the street!

Always liked "Walloping Web-Snappers!" and wish it had carried over to the comics. (Spider-Man)

Superman: "Great Rao!"
Who can forget the classic "Yabba dabba doom!" from Bedrock?
I think there was also "It's troll time, partner" from... a guy named Troll, probably?

Also from The Tick, 2 characters from "The Decency Squad":
The Living Doll: I'm full of tinier men! The Visual Eye: Rockets from the sockets!
And from the "trainees" episode:
Baby Boomerangutan: It's OK to play with dolls!
