A common way for a character to announce him/herself in an intimidating manner. It doesn't matter whether he's a good guy or a bad guy, as long as the character is badass enough to live up to this claim. That is, unless people are spoofing this line (often by the second character describing his actual worst nightmare). It can also be used as a Characterization Trope. In that the person using this stockphrase is a Geek of sorts, based on the fact that he uses Cliches to present himself. Compare Prepare to Die. Here is a compilation with a lot of examples of this quote. On its way to becoming a Discredited Trope because how often it is used to point that many people don't find it terrifying anymore. |

Tales from the Crypt: One story has a woman tangling with three CIA agents. She has killed two of them (not bad for a housewife) and faces the last agent, woman to woman. The housewife tells the agent, "I'm your worst nightmare. I'm a woman with balls!" The agents acts dismissive about it. The housewife ends up revealing that s/he's the male rogue CIA agent they're looking for. S/he easily kills off the agent! She clearly wasn't kidding when she said that! | |

In Dragon Age: Inquisition, this boast is repeatedly made by the Nightmare. It's Not Hyperbole; he is literally a demon of fear, and does indeed take the form of what scares you most (spiders, in the Inquisitor's case). This is in addition to verbally taunting you with your greatest fears, doubts, and guilts. | |

Discworld: Guards! Guards! has: "Someone out there was going to find out that their worst nightmare was a maddened Librarian. With a badge." Spoofed in Hogfather. Teatime uses this line on a guard, but his would-be victim wants to know which nightmare that would be. When it's clarified that he means, "The one where the man appears out of nowhere and kills you stone dead", the guard relaxes and points out that that nightmare isn't particularly scary. Then Teatime kills him stone dead. In Snuff, Vimes makes Stinky the goblin a Special Constable, and Stinky responds to Vimes' quip that someone's worst nightmare is "a goblin with a badge" with "Stinky don't need no badges, fellow po-leess-maan! Stinky worst nightmare all by himself!" |

The Transformers in the episode "War Dawn" when Optimus Prime is built from the wrecked body of Orion Pax, he steps onto the battlefield and quotes "You've caused enough destruction for one day, Megatron!" Megatron retorts with "I haven't even started!" then takes aim and blasts Prime - only for it to glance off. He then says in a panic "You! Who are you?!" Optimus responds with "Your worst nightmare!" and promptly inflicts a Curb-Stomp Battle on Megatron's drones. | |

Spoofed in Hogfather. Teatime uses this line on a guard, but his would-be victim wants to know which nightmare that would be. When it's clarified that he means, "The one where the man appears out of nowhere and kills you stone dead", the guard relaxes and points out that that nightmare isn't particularly scary. Then Teatime kills him stone dead. | |

During the invention exchange for "The Giant Gila Monster", Dr. Forrester shows off a line of Renaissance Fair punching bags, which prompts TV's Frank to invoke this trope. From the "Circus On Ice" short that accompanied "Monster A-Go-Go": |

This is said in the finale of Mulan by Mushu to the fireworks operators so he can use fireworks to beat Shan Yu. Depending on who you ask, this is either a Batman reference, a Rambo III reference, or it refers to 48 Hours, where Eddie Murphy actually says the quote, making it a self-reference. | |

Doctor Who: In "The Girl in the Fireplace", the Doctor isn't saying this to the monster, but well within its earshot, while fighting it: Spoofed in "Mummy on the Orient Express". The Doctor needs to investigate the Monster of the Week, so walks up to The Captain brandishing his psychic paper, an all-purpose ID which makes him appear to be someone important to whomever it's shown to. "The Witch's Familiar" has a variant when Doctor steals the chair of Davros, creator of the Daleks, and then rolls up to the Daleks in it. |
