Colossus: By the White Wolf! I like that one! It's a classic! Colossus also used to say "Chyort vozmee", just like Nightcralwer tried (and often failed!) to say "Zum Teufel!" Teufel was like Pharaoh... whenever the word showed up, you wondered if it was going to be spelled correctly!!!

Sylvester the cat: Suffering succotash! Did Daffy Duck ever say that too? I remember many moons ago on the original TV game show Press Your Luck, they had a question that asked for the cartoon character who used that as a catchphrase. I thought it was Sylvester but they accepted Daffy as an answer!

I thought it was Sylvester but they accepted Daffy as an answer! I wan't aware of the fact before looking it up, but yes... Apparently both Sylvester and Daffy Duck used the expression. I summon the copyright infringement!!!

Old-school Namor: Suffering Shad! Colossus: By the White Wolf! Shining Knight: By my Halidom! Linc: Solid! (Oooops, not comics. Sorry.) There was a Mod Squad comic, from Dell (after the split with Western)... I'm sure he says it in one of the 8 issues. Man, Michael Cole is the only one left!

Reuben Flagg:-Bojemoi (or "Bozhe moi")
Various Grendels: Vivat Grendel!
The Road Runner: "Meep! Meep!" (technically, the actual word uttered by Mel Blanc, to make the "beep" sound)

We seem to have veered from oaths to catch-phrases. Still, all good

Superman: "by Rao" Not a comic book character, but Thundarr the Barbarian: "demon dogs!" and "lords of light!"

Roy Thomas writing the Avengers once had the Black Panther say "By the crags of Kilamanjaro!", which I remember liking the sound of as a young reader. I don't recall ever seeing it again, though, so perhaps it never really became a signature phrase for the character.

They aren't superheroes, of course, but I was just thinking about Conan's "By Crom" and Kull's "Valka and Hotath!" and I realised that I can't remember if other REH heroes like Solomon Kane or Bran Mak Morn were prone to come out with any particular oaths in moments of stress or anger. Maybe the Puritan Solomon Kane wasn't allowed to swear? And what about other fantasy heroes like Moorcock's Elric and so on?
