There are many. Some of my picks, one from each serial in the trilogy are:

An insulting Ming:
'36 Mongo...Ming makes an unannounced visit to the sky city. King Vultan indicates he would have prepared a banquet had he known Emperor Ming was going to visit. Ming's demeaning response (also one of our favorite quotes)..."I do not dine with unruly subjects?"

An unsettling, evil, disturbed Ming:
'38 Mars...Last chapter--Ming tells Tarnak...."I'm not interested in nitron now..I want to destroy the earth...it is written that the planets shall all be destroyed except one and the earth shall be first. I Ming the merciless have decreed it." (At this point, Ming appears as a madman!)

A semi-humorous Ming, or, what a father-in-law!
'40 Universe..An alarm sounds, Ming checks, Capt. Sudan starts babbling..Ming looks at televisor and sees FG, Zarkov, Barin, Roka(?) in tunnel beneath palace. Ming says "Good-they're all there except Dale Arden trapped like rats in a trap. Open the flood control valve." Sudan babbles more and Ming says "Are you going to obey?" (another of our favorites) This was Chap 9 cliffhanger..in Chap 10 opener, Ming says "...drowned like rats..I must tell Princess Aura about this interesting event...HEH!"

Overall Ming:
Any single "HEH" or double "HEH HEH" amuses me to no end.

From chapter one of Universe:


Jenda: This man of low intellect has the type of thinking mind that is easily controlled by a superior will. And this man has a type of thinking brain that exercises a will of its own. A type we must destroy.

Man of High Intelligence: Sire! There is no dictator in the universe powerful enough to destroy human thought.

Ming: Place them in the dust chamber.

Jenda: Ready you majesty. See your majesty?! The man of simple intellect is saved.

Ming: A significant demonstration don't you think General Lupi? We will see now how well it works on a Frigian nobleman. Moth, place him in the chamber.
