Iconic self-identifications

“We are the champions, my friends
And we’ll keep on fighting 'til the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the world!!!”

“I’m the best at what I do, and what I do ain’t pretty.” – The Wolverine

Ahem. Post # 85.

What’s “Ahem. Post #85.” from? It doesn’t seem very inconic.

Dammit! I should have read the thread more thoroughly.

“I’m Mr. Bilbo Baggins, I’ve lost my dwarves, my wizard and my way.”
From the 1977 Rankin-Bass movie

And of course-
“I am Gandalf, and Gandalf means … ME!”

[off-topic aside] My other favorite Davy Crockett quote (which wouldn’t play too well in a current Pit thread :grin:): “You may all go to hell and I will go to Texas.” [/off-topic aside]

I’ll just leave this here…

“Good evening ladies and gentlemen, we’re sure glad to be here in Kokomo tonight. We’re the good old… blues brothers… boys band from Chicago… sure hope you like our show . I’m Elwood, and this is my brother Jake.”

“I am the greatest. I said that even before I knew I was.” – Muhammad Ali

“Say my name.”
“You’re Heisenberg.”
“You’re goddamn right!”

Neverending Story: “Come for me, G’mork! I am Atreyu!”

Although, “I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the Flame of Anor, and you shall not pass” is a bit more badass.

I AM THE GOD OF HELL FIRE. And I Bring You…

“Hear me, X-Men!
I am no longer the woman you knew!
I am fire! I am life!
Now and forever, I am Phoenix!”

Aggghh! The whole point was No Article! Talking Heads. No “The”.

:^)

Undoubtedly. However my read of the OP is having the character actually introduce themselves by name and I’m limiting my submissions to that; clearly many other posters are reading it differently and I’ve enjoyed their submissions as well. So maybe also:
“Gandalf the Grey? That was my name. I am Gandalf the White and I come back to you now, at the turn of the tide.”

“Eric Stratton, Rush Chairman, damn glad to meet you.”
Gets a lot of mileage in my peer group

Many are my names in many countries:
Mithrandir among the Elves,
Tharkûn to the Dwarves;
Olórin I was in my youth in the West that is forgotten,
in the South Incánus,
in the North Gandalf;
to the East I go not.

“I’m Buffy the Vampire Slayer - and you are?”

“Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration.”
