So you can crush rocks with your bare hands or telekinetically lift a sinking ship. Admirable as your powers may be when used for good, they just won't get your name in the news cycle as quickly or as persistently as if you had a really great catchphrase.
That's where we come in. While you were
at the gym working out (or in the lab experimenting with radiation or what have you), we here at Catchphrase-in-a-Box went to college and earned degrees in advertising. We will work with you, one on one, to develop a first-rate catchprase, a list of wry puns for you to say upon the capture of your opponent(s), an ear-catching name for your mode of transport, or a clever acronym for your organization. Whatever your public relations needs are, we can handle them.
Our legal department will also help with trademarking your new catchphrase and in return ask for just 10% of the proceeds from any future endorsements. Offer valid only in the Milky Way galaxy.
(Superheroes only. We don't work with villains.)

What was the name of that Will Smith movie? - for not working with villains. |

Not just baked goods, Arthur, baked bads! |

Hancock had an advertising guy, but no catch phrases. He mostly helped with polishing behavior and PR. |
|
| |
I can't really judge this one without some samples though. What up? |
|
| |
Yes, an example or two would be good or your legal department might have deal with claims of false advertising. |

I have often wondered about catch phrases of superheroes in other languages. They must have them. I am sure they would still be appealing in translation. Particularly I would like to see catch phrases of Arab superheroes since it seems to me the Arabs have a gift for trash talking. |

"Do ... or do not. There is no try" |

Yeah... Hancock had a PR guy that i think wrote some of his speeches for him. And the Incredibles had a costume-designer for hire to help with their appearance. I'm sure this idea can be considered baked at least to some degree by such examples. |

Perhaps a more workable, and unique idea, would be a text service. I've seen commercials for text services that send an answer to any question you text to them, at a charge of 99 cents per answer. Ive also seen some that send you one liner joks. Perhaps service wth which you text them your situation, and they send you an appropriate catch-phrase. For instance: |

"Captured fleeing bomb-maker, stuffed him in icecream cooler" |
