Mine has got to be the tourtered  soul type usually tall dark, and handsome on a long road to revenge or redemption, and usually there's a chick determined to figure him out. What are some cliche' s your're tired of seeing?

Hero possessed by a malevolent entity, who must then spend time brooding about the evil acts they committed.
 
Villains posing as heroes. 
 
Warping fun & light-hearted characters into dark, brooding 1990's stereotypes. 
 
Moving the X-Men's base of operations every other year.

This is a cliche I'm sick of. Its when a woman is trying to go at the guy, he tries to stop her, the woman who he is in a relationship comes and gets mad then the guy says. "No honey it's not what you think!" 
 
Really when it comes to those parts that line is always used. They really need to think of a new line.

this is my #1. the worst examples i ever saw were Ms.Marvel (died but was still in her book and others, aknowledged that she died
at some point like it was nothing) and X-Men (worst being during Apocalypse The Twelve, Wolverine dies in the core book but is alive
in his own, and alive in the next issue of X-Men, (he topped this recently when the only weapon meant to kill him, oops, didnt) and Cyclops
in the very same arc, who came back about 3 or 4 issues later and no one had anything to say about it. his hair was notably longer).

Known "supervillans" with established criminal records, and or pasts, somehow ending up in positions of power and nobody believing the established "superheroes" when they say, "Um, yeah, that dude's a villain. He's playing you."

that's what I continually b@tched about at the beginning of Dark Reign...it just seems so unrealistic...like if Charles Manson announced that he was running for President and people thinking it's a good idea

It just got played out. We've seen it to many times. There's a bad guy, he's been a bad guy for who knows how long, a war breaks out and during the war he does something heroic and the World forgets (or refuses to listen) as said villain is handed the reigns of power.

The use of the term "and ----- will never be the same." in issue summaries. Even more so when it's not true.      
 
Death and revival of characters. Jean Grey has died and revived so often that it has no emotional impact. It's a joke. I feel like the next time she revives and dies the first thing the X-Men should do isn't plan the funeral. They should start an office pool. At this rate she's going to need her own separate cemetery to accommodate all the tomb stones. If someone dies they should stay that way.
 
Villains who are out to destroy the world. Don't they realizes that they will die too?

Lame Super Villains and prefect boyscout heroes who go around with a holier than thou attitude
 
Luthor just sucks, he constantly needs a plot device even to be just considered a threat to the heroes anymore
I would rather see a hero deal with alcoholism and guilt over the number of people that died in some war. This would be so more real rather than seeing a guy in a cape pulling cats out of trees, beating the bad guys in 30 seconds and being so damn invincible every day of the week

1. Characters that call other characters by their aliases when away from civilians. Sorry, it's stupid. And I seem to cringe the most when Superman is mentioned.
 
2. When characters state the obvious and / or things that belong in captions / thought bubbles.
 
3. Thought bubbles. They're just annoyingly cliche. Captions are better suited as being like journals rather than "thoughts."
 
4. Spandex.  They were colorful and "cool" once. Now they're corny.
 
5. Like of like 4. Underwear outside of costumes is utterly STUPID and was never cool. Ever. Sorry, but for the "dark knight," Batman has one of the least scary costumes of all time. Especially when he wears blue or that yellow symbol (yeah.... glow in the dark yellow... that's real stealthy, bats)

ha...you took the words right out of my mouth...stay freakin dead. Or don't die at all. It cheapens the  really good deaths and destroys their value to the story.
