One of the earliest comics I followed regularly was "The New Mutants."  I often wished I had a nickel for every time Sam Guthrie thought, or said, "Good thing ah'm invulnerable while ah'm blastin'".

Was it "Spider Man/Human Torch" that had an issue that ended with Spider-Man, in his Spider-Buggy, doing doughnuts on the *side* of the Daily Bugle building (thanks to an antigravity device) as J. Jonah Jameson sputtered in rage?  That's one of my all-time favorite Spidey moments.

One of my favorite Finn lines is "What's it goin'?" from "Donny" (upon being greeted by an uncharacteristically polite ogre).  Combined with Finn's screwed-up face showing utter bewilderment, it cracks me up every time.
