Peter: I'm - I'm not a team guy. People hate me. I don't belong on a team. Steve: Can I ask you something? How is that working out for you? The "not being a team guy" thing? _New Avengers: Breakout_ Luke Cage: Spider-Man, Spider-Woman - you guys related? Spider-Man: No. Cage: You give her her powers or something? Spider-Man: No. She's totally unrelated to me in any way. Cage: So she ripped off your name? Spider-Man: Exactly. _New Avengers: Breakout_ "I've been an Avenger ten minutes. I already need to lie down." -Spider-man, _New Avengers: Breakout_ "That's so embarrassing. It's one of my bad guys. I knew somehow this would be my fault." -Spider-Man, _New Avengers: Breakout_ "He can suck energy or - or suck out your powers or something. Something with sucking. And when he overdoes it, he turns into this giant green ol' Jurassic Park thing. Like a dinosaur. A vampire dinosaur. Vampire _or_ dinosaur would have been enough. But this guy is both, which, really... is just showing off." -Spider-Man, _New Avengers: Breakout_ Captain America: I have the authority to assemble any team I see fit to go on any mission I see fit. Spider-Man: Yeah? I have clones. _New Avengers: Breakout_ "Uh... anybody else's spider-sense jut go off?" -Spider-Man, _New Avengers: Breakout_ Iron Man: There's something going on about four kliks that way. Strange readings. Spider-Man: Please, let's head _right_ for the strange readings. _New Avengers: Breakout_ "That spider that bit ya must have been one whiney spider." -Luke Cage, _New Avengers: Breakout_ [The team is captured, and tied up, naked.] Spider-Woman: They couldn't leave our underwear on? Spider-Man: I wasn't wearing any. Spider-Woman: Why wouldn't you be wearing underwear? Spider-Man: I chafe. [Pause.] Spider-Woman: I want off the team. _New Avengers: Breakout_ "Do you even know what Weapon X is? Do you know? Logan, you know. Tell the flag waver what his government does with mutants behind his back. How they send us on missions to murder other mutants who might end up being trouble. And the minute you say no to them - they lock you away." -Sauron, _New Avengers: Breakout_ Iron Man: As far as I can tell, at least 14 of those prisoners supposedly died years ago. They are legally dead. Yet there they were, locked away in a SHIELD prison facility. Spider-Man: What does that mean? Iron Man: It means that on top of secretly stockpiling other countries' super-powered weapon reserves before we caught them in the act... Spider-Woman: Someone in SHIELD is stockpiling powered criminals. _New Avengers: Breakout_ "I decide it is the last thing I want to see. I close my eyes... and I take flight." -Lt. John Cloud, _DC: The New Frontier_ "Now you know me. I've seen my share of hard candy. I was a jarhead in the Pacific. There was even a time I collected for the juice man to make ends meet. But this - this bat-guy, he made my blood run cold. The look on his face - the sounds that came out of the creep underneath him. This bat-guy - well, he scared the bejeezus out of me." -Slam Bradley, _DC: The New Frontier_ "I once swam two miles with three bullets in my lung. I KO'ed the Ultra-Humanite in one punch. I'm Ted friggin' Wildcat Grant. This is my fight. These are my people. And tonight, for one last time, I am their champion." _DC: The New Frontier_ "It's crazy, baby. Like nothing's big enough to see anymore." -Red Ryan, _DC: The New Frontier_ "I've been watching you, Mister Jones. I know all about you. Except where you came from. My instincts tell me you're to be trusted, but make no mistake - It took a seventy-thousand dollar sliver of meteor to stop the one in Metropolis. With you, all I need is a penny for a book of matches." -Batman, _DC: The New Frontier_ "Save your breath, Jordan. NASA isn't looking for ex fighter pilots who crack up because they shoot a Commie. They want heroes." -Faraday, _DC: The New Frontier_ J'onn Jones: Perhaps I could take a friendlier appearance, and be more like the hero Superman. Faraday: Suit yourself, John.

That and beware of spooky chicks who think they've been made pregnant by robots?" _Nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E._ "My robot brain needs beer. Also? I want to die." -Aaron, _Nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E._ Monica: Tabby! Aaron! What the hell are you doing? Tabitha: Beating up a cop. _Nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E._ "Samurai robots beat guns. No question. So it's just me and a shovel. Rock." -Elsa, _Nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E._ Cop: Are you people the super heroes we read about and watch on the TV news but never see hide nor hair of in towns like Shotcreek? Monica: Something like that. _Nextwave: I Kick Your Face_ Tabitha: That flag sucks. Elsa: Shut up. Tabitha: It makes Europe look like a really sucky country. Elsa: Europe isn't a country. Tabitha: If it's not a country, how come it has a flag? Huh? _Nextwave: I Kick Your Face_ "I don't believe in your God. God is for fleshy ones. I am robot. And your God will throw up when he sees what I have done to you." _Nextwave: I Kick Your Face_ "Let's save America by beating up everything we see." _Nextwave: I Kick Your Face_ "You people will by God act like a team, or at least like people who know each other, or I'll incinerate the bunch of you here and now." _Nextwave: I Kick Your Face_ "I took _The Authority_ and I stripped out all the plots, logic, character and sanity. It’s an absolute distillation of the superhero genre. No plot lines, characters, emotions, nothing whatsoever. It's people posing in the street for no good reason. It is people getting kicked, and then exploding. It is a pure comic book, and I will fight anyone who says otherwise. And afterwards, they will explode." -Warren Ellis, on _Nextwave_ "Some people use 'Google' to keep track of their exes. Other people use crystal balls... I use both." -Amanda Sefton, _Nightcrawler: The Devil Inside_ "I'm covered in blue fur and can't get a date. You're covered in blue fur and are forever extracting yourself from one or more romantic entanglements. I'm beginning to get a complex." -Hank, _Nightcrawler: The Devil Inside_ "Kurt, darling, I'm trying to save your life and you're annoying me..." -Emma, _Nightcrawler: the Winding Way_ "Oh, honestly. I'm an immortal entity, Nightcrawler, not a... perverse member of your rogues' gallery." -Nightmare, _Nightcrawler: the Winding Way_ Amanda: For the same reason Nightmare attacked me. Nightmare: Ahem. Amanda: The same reason Nightmare was *manipulated* into attacking me. _Nightcrawler: the Winding Way_ "You watch enough episodes of _E.R._, you can adapt your magic to do just about anything." -Amanda, _Nightcrawler: the Winding Way_ Kurt: Nightmare? Is Logan- ? Nightmare: He's surly, but he'll survive. _Nightcrawler: the Winding Way_ "Sometimes I think Henry's too good for the rest of us. We're all disasters - emotionally arrested, petty, insecure - and he's... he just isn't." _Nightcrawler: the Winding Way_ [Translating an ancient urn.] "Herein contains... the misfortunes of man." _Olympus_ Sebastian: Where is Deems? York: Dead. Sebastian: That's one less thing on my to-do list. _Olympus_ "You'll never get it, will you? This isn't about 'good' or 'evil'... It's about doing what we were supposed to as gods." -Hades, _Olympus Heights_ "Adam Strange defends the world of Rann. It's attacked on a daily basis. He never calls for help." _The OMAC Project_ "When I was a kid, being a hero seemed like the easiest thing in the world to be. I'm not a kid anymore. And right now, I can't think of anything harder to be." -Blue Beetle, _The OMAC Project_ "This is what happens when the gods fight, Brother, you understand? Mortals suffer... These are the people who control humanity's destiny, Brother... and this is why they must be eliminated Look at him. All the punishment he's dishing out on her. Imagine if he turned that power against us. What I've done to him took, it took effort. But the mere fact that I could do it proves my point. Because if I can do it, someone else can, too, and that's the heart of it, Brother. Superman, Wonder Woman, the rest of them, they'll kill us all... if we don't kill them first." _The OMAC Project_ "Colonel Bukovic, U.S. Space Command. I'm the one who had you brought here. This is because I am a horrible old man and I like to spread the misery around. ...You are here to explain this to me." _Orbiter_ Marx: You've... you've been inside? Can I go inside? Bukovic: I'm glad you said that. I was worried that I'd have to force you inside at gunpoint. Yes. You can go inside. _Orbiter_ "I'm told there was a lot of paranoia about early spaceflight. I mean, astronauts used to be quarantined after space flight. There was always a possibility that astronauts might come back... different. Interrogation and incarceration of a changed astronaut was always going to be an option." -Bukovic, _Orbiter_ "The unified field is, like, everything. It's physics. It's four elements, and gravity is one of them. Alter gravity, you alter the field. Alter the field, you alter physics. Alter physics, and you can land a space shuttle on Mars." -Marx, _Orbiter_ "It's from the end of the periodic table we haven't discovered yet." _Orbiter_ "If my dignity had a spider-sense, it would be going crazy right now." _Peter Parker: Spider-man_ #43 "Oh please, wherever she is, don't let Mary Jane have cable." _Peter Parker: Spider-man_ #43 "Why do I even have to say this? Why do I have to say 'Get off the unique and probably alien plinth that zaps the unwary?' What is wrong with my life that I have to say these things out loud to someone..." -Jakita Wagner, _Planetary_ "These are the moments that I live for. I put up with all the other crap just to get seconds like this. The moments when you know the world is a better place than advertised." -Jakita Wagner, _Planetary_ "We, the extraordinary, were conspiring to make the world better." _Planetary_ "This is where dead men walked. I heard about this place from a man who went to Mars. And since I was fifteen years old I knew I could never resist stuff like this. Seeing things I ain't supposed to." -Elijah Snow, _Planetary_ "Lusiphur was capable of sustaining unremitted anger for weeks, unspoiled by a tinge of doubt. It was part of his charm." _Poison Elves_ [sung] Wellll... I use to know a pretty little gal... I loved her all I can... Then one day she broke my heart, so's I said - *BLAM*BLAM*BLAM* -Poison Elves, #14 "The doctor says that I am displaying schizophrenic tendencies. That these pills will control my rage. What he doesn't understand is that anger has become my sustenance... my fuel." -Norman Osborn, _Powerless_ "I'll tell you what scares the hell out of me. It's Banner. Calm. Collected. Worthless. Every day he lives in fear. Scared that if he lets himself feel anything... anything at all... I'll come out." -Dr. Bruce Banner, _Powerless_ "I didn't used to daydream. But now I look around and see that my world is haunted by remnants of a coma, colorful pieces of a fever-dream I awoke from just weeks ago... Maybe I'm just trying to answer a question that's just now becoming clear. Without me in their lives, who would these people be? Who would I be?" _Powerless_ "You know, in the movies, there's always that moment right before the end, when the hero is doubting himself? And then, someone close to him gives him the confidence to make his movie? Like when Adrian says, 'Just win, Rocky.' I wish I had that person. Someone who could make everything better again." -Peter Parker, _Powerless_ "Like most things in life, it's all about the details. If you're paying close enough attention, that is." _Powerless_ "My uncle told me that with great power must come great responsibility. I may not have much power, but I'm taking responsibility." -Peter Parker, _Powerless_ "I told Matt this wasn't gonna end well. I also told myself I'm not a murderer. Guess fate had its own plans for us." -Frank Castle, _Powerless_ "Often, when we dream, our imagination takes us into the world of the fantastic, the uncanny, or the spectacular. We dream of flying, of having the strength of a thousand men, or even of saving the world. In these amazing fantasies, good conquers evil... and no one ever really dies. But that is not life. To be human... truly human is to accept that sometimes we are heroes, sometimes we are victors... and sometimes we are powerless." _Powerless_ "You watch cartoons? Do you see that thing? That sometimes the backgrounds and the people don't look right? Sometimes the backgrounds are all cool looking and nicely colored in or something. But the people aren't. They - they're just flat looking. Sucky. Never noticed? It drives me up the wall is all. Why do they do that?? Why can't they paint the people as nice as they paint the sky?" -Calista, _Powers: Who Killed Retro Girl?_ "How could you not want me around? I'm totally fascinating." -Deena, _Powers: Who Killed Retro Girl?_ Zora: I guess what's most shocking about all of it is how little it happens, right? I mean, the odds and all. You'd thin we'd be dropping like flies. Walker: From our end, it sometimes feels like you are... _Powers: Who Killed Retro Girl?_ "It was an unwritten rule to support each other in public and not get into each others' business." -Walker, _Powers: Who Killed Retro Girl?_ "Because when guys like that do something like that - they never shut up about it." -Walker, _Powers: Who Killed Retro Girl?_ "It's done. That's good. Just like in my dream." -Calista, _Powers: Who Killed Retro Girl?_ "I asked her - I asked: Hey, why me? And she said: that's how it worked. That is how it has worked always and always." -Calista, _Powers: Who Killed Retro Girl?_ "She said that you were a great guy and would worry about me - but if I told you not to nicely... you wouldn't." -Calista, _Powers: Who Killed Retro Girl?_ Walker: You like saying 'shtupping.' Deena: I do. _Powers: Little Deaths_ "Waiting. Me, patiently. ...And this is where I say 'Why don't you start at the beginning?'" -Deena, _Powers: Little Deaths_ Walker: No. It's grunt work. I need your big brain. Deena: First man that ever said that to me... _Powers: Roleplay_ Deena: I have a confession Walker: You're the killer? Because that's a real load off my day if... _Powers: Roleplay_ "...So there's two kinds of guys with powers - the guys that had powers given to them by, you know, birthright, accident - and then there's the guys who go looking to get powers. And I tell ya, these are the guys that scare ya." _Powers: Roleplay_ "Anyway, she was heavy into anti-powers protesting, and she was so fucking stupid because she would rant all day about how powers were going to remove - what was is? That powers would remove certain elements of our social order that were necessary for the survival of our species." _Powers: Anarchy_ "We have created a society where we freely allow men and women to take the law into their own hands. Cape or no cape - brightly colored logo or not - a superhero is a vigilante who is taking the law into his own hands. We root for who we decide is the good guy, and we boo for the person we decide is the bad guy... and we never consider that just the idea that we allow these people to take the law into their own hands... that we let one person make a moral decision for another person... is wrong. We empower other people to fight our battles for us... and wonder why it is we feel so powerless in our lives." -Diana Shutz, _Powers: Anarchy_ "I don't like living in a world with people flying over my head. I don't like feeling babysat by people whose names I am not allowed to know, or whose faces I am not allowed to see." -Diana Shutz, _Powers: Anarchy_ "But then I think: I gotta care about you. I - I gotta. What's the only other answer? Nothing. I care about you." -Deena, _Powers: Anarchy_ Deena: You know when we were kids, and we'd wonder what Unity was like in real life? Kutter: Yeah. Deena: Well, guess what? They're assholes. _Powers: Sellouts_ "He used to laugh at the fact that everything he did in his Hawk outfit would never help as many people as the money he raised with Unity action figures and steering wheel covers." _Powers: Sellouts_ "I guess it's true - you never know who will be by your side when the shit hits it, huh?" _Powers: Sellouts_ "I mean, who the hell knows what a superhero can do when no one is looking." _Powers: Sellouts_ "It's a strange world, Dutch. A world where brother takes up arms against brother -- where death can come at any time, in any form -- and where the righteous must join with those whose hands are red with the blood of their fallen comrades in order to survive." _Predator: Hell Come A-Walkin'_ Dr. Strange: Jessica, I'm Stephen Strange. It's good to meet you. We're going to get through this. I was at the birth of the last Avengers' baby. Spider-Woman: Oh yeah. The Scarlet Witch and the Vision. Spider-man: And this has to go better than that did. [pause] Spider-man: Oh, my God, that was so much more clever in my head before it came out of my mouth. Spider-Woman: I don't think it was. Dr. Strange: How about the rest of you wait in the library? _The Pulse_ "He's a cold-blooded son-of-a-bitch, who kills criminals because he hates the fact that they're alive." -Garth Ennis, on the Punisher "Despite the fact that he's become one of my favorite guilty-pleasure characters over the past few years, I've pretty much given up on reviewing issues of Garth Ennis's Punisher series. For all that I enjoy reading them, after all, they are some of the most formulaic comics ever produced, with the only thing that changes from one arc to the next being the nature of the horrific crimes that the bad guys commit so that we can get behind a sociopathic serial murderer like Frank Castle killing them in the most imaginative ways possible." -Chris Sims, the-isb.blogspot.com Joe Quesada: By the way, I thinking of legally changing my name to Quesadarama. Kevin Smith: Joe Quesadarama. Quesada: No, just Quesadarama. It has a ring to it. Smith: I think most folks would charge you with sincere modesty for such an act. -Newsarama interview Kevin Smith: And the whole "That many sales can't be wrong" thing doesn't work for me. Joe Quesada: Yeah, well that's also your insecurity speaking Smith: Maybe. It still comes down to what the readers THINK. And sometimes, what they think really ain't pretty. -Newsarama interview "I am the heat of my nation's anger. I am the burning will of the state. An inferno, clearing the path of those who resist." _The Red Star_ "But this is a real story, Alex. It's a bloody, brutal, real story... the fantasy is just a disguise." _The Red Star: Nokgorka_ "Pray for the living, Maya. Pray for the living." -Alex, _The Red Star: Nokgorka_ "It's the kind of experience that... that... it just changes you, that's all. It changes you forever. There aren't enough moments like that in life." -Alex, _The Red Star: Nokgorka_ "The past is a prison. Its bars and chains forged by Lord Time himself. No one has ever escaped." -Maya, _The Red Star: Nokgorka_ "What do you squares say to being the deadliest, outest, gonest cats in the land, and puttin' the screws to all the pinks that gave us the needle!?" _The Replacement God_ "I have never built a trap to harm others. Yet every act of violence, of battleground healing, of WAR, comes with practiced ease, as if I had done it a thousand times... I do not know any of this. It is entirely obvious to me." _The Replacement God_ "Finn, the emotionless god of the dead, and Kaulfr, the hot-blooded Visigoth lieutenant, takes one final look towards the gates of Valhalla, and flies on." _The Replacement God_ "I don't do things by half measures Mitchell. And I love my work." -Vandal Savage, Resurrection Man #1,000,000 Harold: It's amazing to think of all of you growing up together like that, no secrets. Cathy: Well, I wouldn't say there weren't any secrets... But some secrets you keep out of respect, fear, affection or all three. _Rising Stars_ "We cannot change the world... if we do not begin with ourselves." _Rising Stars_ "We must do more than we have done. Because it's right. Because we have an obligation to do so. And because... I believe that's what the power was meant for." _Rising Stars_ "Maybe we'll do it right. maybe we'll screw it up. But John's right, we have to try." _Rising Stars_ "This is important John. Every damned one of us comes to a day when we say, 'What could we have done? What opportuities did we miss? How could I have made a difference?' We all have powers of our own, we all have abilities of our own, ad we have an obligation to use them. Your obligation... you and the rest... was a little greater than the rest. But it's still the same inside. You still have time, John. You know what you have to do. Free yourself from the burden of my fear... from the concerns of an old man. Look at the world anew, John... Make me proud." _Rising Stars_ "Poet's Journal: During the Second World War, the Germans tried to take Stalingrad. But the Russian soldiers refused to back down, surrender or retreat. They dug in, and made the Germans fight for every inch of ground. I begin to understand how they felt. Welcome to Chicago." _Rising Stars_ "A terrible price was paid here today. By us. By all of them. All our gifts, all our powers... is this all it comes down to? Have we squandered it all? Or is there still something left for us to do? Perhaps the something we were always meant to do with these powers. At the last, did you finally show us the way, Matt?" _Rising Stars_ "Like me, he has only questions burning in his one good eye. What happened? How did we come to this?" _Ruins_ "These people, these paranormal ruins of men - they were drpped on the world like a stone. Their shockwaves have touched all the edges of my world." _Ruins_ "Completely. 'The Chimes of Big Ben' was insane. I can't believe how old that show is, you know? Feels ilke it's from the future." -Nico, _Runaways: Pride & Joy_ Molly: Gert, can I ask you a question about girl stuff? Gert: Under no circumstances. _Runaways: Pride & Joy_ Robert Minoru: Catacombs? You said this place was secure, Wilder! Geoffrey Wilder: As if you don't have secret passageways in your lair, Minoru. _Runaways: Pride & Joy_ "You're not going to like what I'm about to say, but I hated when older kids tried to sugarcoat stuff with me, so I'm just going to tell it to you straight, okay? Your parents - all of our parents - they're actually super-villians, like the bad guys you see on TV." -Gert, _Runaways: Pride & Joy_ Gert: Sorry, I... I just got this weird feeling somebody was watching us. Nico: Uh-oh, whenever anyone says that, it always means someone is. _Runaways: Pride & Joy_ "He's stuck in Manhattan, brokering some deal with another intergalactic arms trader. A Skrull, I think... they all look the same to me." -Leslie Dean, _Runaways: Pride & Joy_ "Dale, put the samurai battle-axe away, will you? You know how weapons from alternate pasts makes me nervous." _Runaways: Pride & Joy_ [picking super hero names.] Gert: Chase's name should be Talkback. Molly: Hee. Chase: Laugh it up... Bruiser. Molly: Bruiser? But I wanted to be Princess Powerful... _Runaways: Pride & Joy_ Gert: What are you talking about? Dressing up in costumes and... and playing super hero? No offense, Alex, but isn't that sort of childish? Alex: What's the alternative, 'Arsenic'? Being an adult? If that means turning into the people who raised us... I hope I die before I get old. _Runaways: Pride & Joy_ Wilder: To them, we're probably no different than the ridiculous 'super-villains' they see on the evening news. Frank: But we are different! We're... we're heroes! We've dedicated our lives to making this world a better place for those kids! _Runaways: Teenage Wasteland_ Arsenic: Gertrude is my slave name, Alex. You can keep calling yourself whatever your evil parents named you, but the rest of us are starting over. Right, Bruiser? Bruiser: Right, Arsenic. Alex: Aren't code names supposed to be cooler than your actual names? _Runaways: Teenage Wasteland_ "I don't know, Alex. These 'disguises' make us look like those politically correct, multi-ethnic gangs that only rob people in bad TV shows." -Nico, _Runaways: Teenage Wasteland_ Lucy: Topher is one of us, Arsenic. His parents are eeeevil. Arsenic: If that's our only criteria for admission, this cave is gonna fill up fast. _Runaways: Teenage Wasteland_ Topher: Speaking of which, it's almost three in the morning. When do the rest of you... rest? Arsenic: I saw my parents kill a girl, and then I found a dinosaur in my basement. I haven't slept in four days. _Runaways: Teenage Wasteland_ Topher: You see, I'm not really sixteen years old. I was born at the turn of the century. Nico: You're four? Topher: Huh? Oh, no, last century. In 1900. Nico: Eww! And I kissed you? _Runaways: Teenage Wasteland_ "Since when do vampires rob convenience stores?" -Nico, _Runaways: Teenage Wasteland_ Lieutenant Flores: So wait, you're telling me that drugs turned you into super heroes? That can't make you popular with the parent groups. Cloak: Popularity has never been a concern of Cloak and Dagger. _Runaways: Teenage Wasteland_ [In the Darkforce Dimension.] Alex: Relax, Chase. There... there has to be a rational explanation for this. That Cloak guy must have teleported us to... to Siberia or something. Chase: And which part of that am I supposed to relax about? _Runaways: Teenage Wasteland_ Arsenic: This guy's outfit is like the mystical equivalent of a portal to the internet, but the server crashed, so before we can perform a search, we have to find a way to get it back online... right? Dagger: That was the worst analogy I've ever heard... _Runaways: Teenage Wasteland_ "Huh. You know, it says a lot about my life that this isn't the strangest thing I've ever seen." -Dagger, _Runaways: Teenage Wasteland_ "Oh, she acts childlike to lower people's defenses, but Molly's behavior masks a fierce intellect. It's a common trait in mutants her age." -Gene Hayes, _Runaways: The Good Die Young_ "The thieves. The travelers. The magicians. The outcasts. The wise men. And the colonists." _Runaways: The Good Die Young_ "No, our children made their getaway. Victor and I scoured the area to no avail. If I weren't so furious, I'd almost be impressed." -Geoffrey Wilder, _Runaways: The Good Die Young_ Chase: I don't know, I used to want to announce for ESPN, but now I'm thinking about helping kids like us... maybe joining the FBI or something. Lucy: Wow, that's actually really cool, Chase. Chase: Plus, it would be sweet to get to carry a gun all the time. _Runaways: The Good Die Young_ Chase: Okay, then. That was officially the third most awesome thing I've ever seen. Bruiser: We did it! We totally won... and nobody got knocked out or set on fire for once! _Runaways: The Good Die Young_ "Rule number one of gaming: a good dungeon master always makes his players feel like they're in control, especially when they're not." -Alex, _Runaways: The Good Die Young_ Bulldozer: You girls stand down posthaste... or I pulverize your friend here. Gert: Bad idea, Mean Green. I've got the power to make grown men lose control of their bowels. Bulldozer: Seriously? [Old Lace jumps out of a tree above.] Gert: More or less. _Runaways: True Believers_ Bruiser: Man, what if his dad is Voldemort? Chase: Voldemort isn't real, genius. This psycho's probably the son of the devil. Or Dracula. _Runaways: True Believers_ "There was a good Green Goblin? That is the absolute stupidest thing I've ever heard!" -Chamber, _Runaways: True Believers_ Nico: You keep an eye on our prisoner. Chase: Don't worry, this psycho killer ain't going nowhere. Victor: What's... what's your power? [Chase pulls out a switchblade.] Chase: A poor upbringing. _Runaways: True Believers_ [Excelsior assembles.] Turbo: Everybody, be cool. Our organization was founded to help kids like you. Gert: What are you, a Christian glam band? _Runaways: True Believers_ Molly: These guys are heroes? Lucy: No, Mol, they're adults. _Runaways: True Believers_ "We met Captain America once. He made us go into foster care after our parents got blown up trying to destroy the world." -Molly, _Runaways: True Believers_ "Shine on, you crazy diamond." -Nico, _Runaways: True Believers_ "A super Nazi? Made of bees? Uh, yeah, I'm gonna sit this one out." -Chase, _Runaways: Escape to New York_ Victor: You guys have some kind of rallying cry? You know, "Avengers Assemble?" "It's clobberin' time?" "Hulk smash?" Nico: "Try not to die." _Runaways: Escape to New York_ "I know 'Super Skrull' sounds sort of pompous in your language, but I swear that the Skrullos translation is way less stuck-up." -Xavin, _Runaways: Escape to New York_ Cloak: Spider-Woman? With Captain America? So the rumors are true? The Avengers are back? Spider-Woman: As long as crap needs avenging. _Runaways: Escape to New York_ "A Wolverine appearance? How novel. Seriously, this is the third time I've run into you this week, Logan." -Iron Man, _Runaways: Escape to New York_ Spider-Man: But really, if you want to help, they best thing you can do is lay low while I try to clear Cloak's name. Victor: But... but I have powers! And in that book _Webs_, your photographer friend said your motto is "With great power, there must also come great responsibility!" Gert: Really? That's inane. Most people in life don't have great power, and the few that do are almost never responsible with it. They people who have the greatest responsibility are the kids with no power because we're the ones who have to keep everyone else in check. Spider-Man: Wow. You are totally gonna be an Avenger when you grow up. _Runaways: Escape to New York_ "Please. New York, New Wave, New Avengers... 'New' is just another way of saying old." -Nico, _Runaways: Escape to New York_ Gert: I suppose the only time we ever really get to be happy in life - like, one hundred percent blissful - is when we're little kids. Victor: Because there's less to worry about? Gert: Because we're too stupid to know how worried we should be. _Runaways: Parental Guidance_ "In reality, [the Pride] were good guys. They dedicated their lives to keeping Los Angeles safe. Why do you think the crime rate went up after they went down?" _Runaways: Parental Guidance_ Nico: So you don't believe in fate or whatever? Gert: Nah, that's just a word people use to explain away terrible things they probably could have prevented. _Runaways: Parental Guidance_ "It'd be so cool if we got to fight another animal bad guy like Rhino or Vulture. I'd give anything to punch a Giraffe Man." -Molly, _Runaways: Parental Guidance_ "Help! I'm being kidnapped by an evil black man from the 1980's!" -Molly, _Runaways: Parental Guidance_ "Each of us has been falling apart since day one, Chase. We just have to find a way to fall apart together." -Karolina, _Runaways: Parental Guidance_
