Я крутой! or Я крут!

[the-kot.livejournal.com]

Я крут!
Or, in less censored manner, Я невьебенно крут!

[elven-d.livejournal.com]

Я крут немеряно )

[therox.livejournal.com]

Я крут.

or (like from one parody song)

Я просто чудо (ты знаешь, о чем я) :)

[imorl.livejournal.com]

Я жгу :)

[otello.livejournal.com]

Я аццкий сотона!

Ай да я, ай да сукин сын!

Excellent, but I'd better warn: if someone doesn't know similar phrase about A.S. Pushkin, they can translate "сукин сын" literally ("a dog's son", "a puppy"), or, even worse, "a son of bitch".

[ammaelis.livejournal.com]

what's the pushkin phrase?

and can you not say сукин сын for 'son of a bitch'?

[russian-bob.livejournal.com]

Yes, "сукин сын" = "son of a bitch", but "ай да сукин сын!" is closer to "son of a gun!" :)
I would not use it if I not 100% sure.

When Pushkin has written Boris Godunov's monologue (where 'мальчики кровавые в глазах'), he liked it so much that he jumped and shouted 'Ай да Пушкин! Ай да сукин сын!'

[khathi.livejournal.com]

Well, that's basically the same thing as with "shit" and "THE shit". "Сукин сын" is your run-of-the-mill sonuvabich, but "ай да сукин сын" is a bragging word.

"I am awesome" == "Я крут"
"I rule" == "Я жгу" or even "Я рулЮ" (lit.: "I'm driving" or "I'm at the wheel" - it even sounds similarly due to Latin roots of most European languages)

Other possible phrases:
"Я крУче навОзной кУчи" (lit.: "I'm more rough than a heap of shit") - funny answer to a praise.
"Я неебАтельски крут" (obscene; lit.: "I'm imfuckingpossibly rough") - funny answer when you are really rough.
"Я крУче варЁных яИц" (lit.: "I'm more rough than boiled eggs"; an egg, being boiled while its internals become firm, is called "свАренное вкрутУю").

Do the capital letters act as stress marks? If so, you are amazing. <3 I have a tough time with stresses.

[pzrk.livejournal.com]

Yes, I use them to mark stress position.

[merirustryfe.livejournal.com]

Thank you SO much! :)

Все просто так, а я... Бэтмен!

Less colloquial and/or slangy would be "Я велик!" or "Я высок!" -- and these phrases would be certainly seen as ironic.

[karden.livejournal.com]

ну как вариант еще "Йа Креведко!"
=)

[archaicos.livejournal.com]

Я стар... Я суперстар! :)
Derived from English. Can be used to indicate either being old or being a superstar or both. Both in a joking form.

Я круче Ленинских гор. :)

I ought to notice that it's from a joke about Brezhnev:

- Многие говорят мне, что я стар! Да, я стар! Я - супер-стар (super-star)!
