    I assume that the title of this thread should've been "3 word classic origins". Anyway, here's a few...


    Daredevil - "Arrrgghh! I'm blind!"

    Thor - Pick up stick(s)

    Fantastic Four - Cosmic ray damage

    The Hulk - Gamma induced greenness (or greyness)



    More as I think of 'em.
