Favorite Superhero/Villain Quotes

[Geodude]

They can be either by or about the characters.

"I'm the best there is at what I do. But what I do best isn't very nice." --Wolverine

"In fact it was really I who killed him. Because I didn't realize in time that with great power there must also always be great responsibility! But I know it now. And so long as I live, Spider-Man will never shirk his duty again! Robbers, killers, beware! Spider-Man is here!" --From the original 1967-70 Spider-Man cartoon.

From the '90s Spider-Man cartoon:
Storm: [striking sentinel] "Power of lighting, strike again!"
Spider-Man: "Uh...power of webshooters, get real sticky!"

From the short-lived MTV Spider-Man cartoon:
Kingpin: "Nice of you to show up."
Spider-Man: "No problem..." (notices Kingpin's size) "...will I be fighting any of your henchmen or did you just eat them?"

I'll start. Any cool or funny quote by or about a superhero can go here.

COMICS
Wolverine: I'm the best there is at what I do. But what I do best isn't very nice.

Batgirl: Couldn't help but notice you didn't shoot me.
Detective Gage: Figured only the real you would have such a bad idea.
Batgirl: Worked, didn't it?
Detective Gage: And because I trust you. For whatever reason.
Batgirl (to herself): Stephanie, don't you dare...Batgirls don't...okay, fine. "Squee."

JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED
Flash: Let's see, after I caught the gorilla, he told me that...
Green Lantern: He talked to you?
Flash: Yeah, right after I stopped his car.
Green Lantern: I'm supposed to believe this?
Flash: Hey, we've both got a Martian's phone number on our speed dial. I think I deserve the benefit of the doubt here.

Wonder Woman: Who are you?
Forager: They call me Forager.
Batman: Do you know someone named Orion?
Forager: Orion! I am just an unworthy Bug; Orion is a god who is far above us.
Wonder Woman: You're too modest. You've shown courage, compassion...
Forager : No, no, you don't understand! All the gods are far above us. (Points up into the sky towards Supertown.)
Batman: I'm gonna need a longer grapple.

Re: cool superhero quotes

JLA: New Maps of Hell
Martian Manhunter - We are the Justice League of America. We have battled gods and made them cry. You are nothing to us.

Green Arrow: Quiver
Mia Dearden: I cut the tendon between your thumb and pointer finger. You can get it fixed, but the operation's painful. It happened to my mother once. Before she died, she cuts hers fixing my father a sandwich. Don't follow me, Richard, please. If you do, then I'll cut the other one. And if you still try to find me after that, then I'll cut your throat. I swear to God.

Wonder Woman: How long have you been skulking around here?
Batman: Long enough to hear that none of you could get past your cartoonish, slack-jawed, dumbfoundedness over the situation and secure any answers as to why a man who we all know is dead walks around articulating like a walking anachronism.
Green Lantern: That is, by far, the most complex sentence I've ever heard anyone utter.

Green Arrow/Black Canary: For Better or Worse
Black Canary: Be right with you...soon as I've pulled this arrow...
Green Arrow: Don't touch that! You've got eight pints of blood inside you at present. That arrowhead's what's keeping them there. You stay here and stay still. I'll be back with two ambulances.
Black Canary: Two?
Green Arrow: Yeah, one for you...and one for him.

JLA: Trial by Fire
Superman: I can count on one hand the number of beings in the known universe that I would be afraid to face in open combat. J'onn J'onzz is at the top of the list. He is the most powerful being on the face of the earth.

Re: cool superhero quotes

Yeah. Yeah, that's right. Pregnant woman. Gunned her down. Bang. And y'know what? You watched me. You coulda changed the gun into steam or the bullets into mercury or the bottle into god damn snowflakes!

Bullets are for assholes.

My two favorites.

Re: cool superhero quotes

I'm guessing that first quote was directed at Firestorm?

MTV SPIDER-MAN ANIMATED SERIES
Kingpin: Nice of you to show up.
Spider-Man: No problem. [Gets a good look at Kingpin for the first time and notices how fat he is.] Will I be fighting any of your henchmen, or did you already eat them?

Re: cool superhero quotes

Green Arrow/Black Canary: The Wedding Album
But sometimes, through it all, the heart remains the only constant. And a union is inevitable. And nothing remains but bliss. Or something like bliss, but a lot louder. And with more foul language.

Green Arrow: The Archer's Quest
Solomon Grundy: Grundy no like arrows in face!

Green Lantern: Diana's carrying a grudge.
Batman: She'll get over it. How about you, carrying anything? (They watch Shayera leave.)
Green Lantern: What, Shayera? We're cool. Giving each other our space. I'm seeing Vixen now.
Batman: (stares blankly)
Green Lantern: I'm very happy!
Batman: Uh-huh. (smirks and drinks from glass)
Green Lantern: Anyway, why are we always talking about MY love life? What's going on between you and Diana?
Batman: Nothing. She's a respected colleague.
Green Lantern: Uh-huh. (drinks from glass)
Batman: I don't have time to pursue a relationship. My work is too important to allow for any distractions. Diana's a remarkable woman, she's a valued friend, she's...standing right behind me, isn't she?
Wonder Woman: (bends over and puts her arm around him) Don't let that stop you. Keep digging.

Re: superhero quotes

Blackest Night: Black Lantern Corps, Volume 1
Black Lantern Lois Lane: Come out, Martha. Don't be afraid. Death is inevitable. Don't be scared.
Martha Kent: I'm a Kansas farmer's wife--takes more than you to scare me. You hurt my dog. Dug up my dear Jon. Wrecked my home. Afraid? No. How would Conner put it--oh, yeah. It's on.

Re: superhero quotes

"We impose meaning on the chaos of our lives. We create form, morality,
order. It's a choice we have to make every second of every minute of
every day."
_Batman: Absolution_

"I'm a detective. If I worship anything - it's logic."
_Batman: Absolution_

"Years ago, I created a mighty lie: an almost demonic creature of violence
and vengeance; a night-beast whose very presence would strike fear into
the criminal heart. But the lie was born to serve the greater good. The
lie protected the innocent, the forsaken. The lie serves justice."
_Batman: Absolution_

"I can't believe in miracless in a God who looks down on us, dispensing
His unfathomable brand of justice when and if He wills."
_Batman: Absolution_

"No miracles. No mercy. No redemption. No Heaven. No Hell. No higher
power. Just life. Just... us."
_Batman: Absolution_

"Master Bruce is a hard one to read. But I think he knows deep in his
heart that his world... his dark world needs a breath of life. Color and
youth and life. I think he had that for so long with Master Dick. There's
something of a void now he's alone again."
-Alfred, _Nightwing_

And my personal favorite:

Fanboy: I always felt Batman was best suited to the role of gritty urban
crime detective, but now you guys have got him up against Santas,
and Easter bunnies? I'm sorry, but that's not my Batman!

Bat-Mite: [reading from a piece of paper.] "Batman's rich history allows
him to be interpreted in a multitude of ways. To be sure, this is
a lighter incarnation, but is certainly no less valid and true to
the character's roots then the tortured avenger, crying out for
mommy and daddy." And besides, those Easter bunnies looked really
scary, right?
_Batman: the Brave and the Bold

Re: superhero quotes

JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED
Batman: What'd you get [Superman]?
Wonder Woman: I'm not saying anything. (whispers) He'll hear, and spoil the surprise.
Batman: He can hear that too.
Wonder Woman: How about you?
Batman: He's not the easiest person in the world to buy birthday presents for. (holds up an envelope)
Wonder Woman: Bruce! You didn't get him a gift certificate?
Batman: (recoils as if offended) No!...Cash.

Batman: Those monsters you don't fight? They tend to step on the little guy.

Flash: I can't think - I'm tired and hungry...
Detective: Maybe some coffee will help. How do you take it?
Flash: Cream and 37 sugars. (the detective starts, then looks at him incredulously) Really.

Flash: Let's see, after I caught the gorilla, he told me that...
Green Lantern: He talked to you?
Flash: Yeah, right after I stopped his car.
Green Lantern: I'm supposed to believe this?
Flash: Hey, we've both got a Martian's phone number on our speed dial. I think I deserve the benefit of the doubt here.

Hawkgirl: So what are you saying? You'd sacrifice millions of lives just because you don't like this guy?
Superman: You don't know Darkseid like I do.
Batman: We know he used you, humiliated you, brainwashed you, wound you up like a tin soldier and turned you loose against Earth. (Gets right up in Superman's face) Cry me a river. On the outside chance that this isn't one of his schemes, we have to take action--so I suggest you get over it.

Copperhead: (jumps onto Hawkgirl's back) You're flying me outta here now, lady!
(Hawkgirl flies straight up into the air, then stops)
Copperhead: Well? Get me outta here!
Hawkgirl: And what if I don't?
Copperhead: (flicks his tongue) I give you your last kiss...
Hawkgirl: And you fall forty stories.
(Copperhead looks down in terror)
Hawkgirl: (smiles) Didn't really think this through, did you?

Re: superhero quotes

Justice League

Amanda Waller: You need to step back.
Batman: Not gonna happen. Long Shadow's with us.
Waller: ...Safeties.
*soldiers cock guns and point. Superman, Wonder Woman and Aquaman move between them and Long Shadow*
Batman: *leans in to Waller with a grin* Mine are bigger then yours.

*Batman throws batarangs at a trio of Thanagarian soldiers. They stick in their chest plates, beeping softly*
Thanagarian Soldier: Your weapons are pitiful!
Batman: Wait for it...
*a large amount of eyes appear behind Batman, then a swarm of bats attacks the Thanagarians, biting and clawing*

I wwould go on, but they'd most consist of awesome Batman quotes =L

Re: superhero quotes

Batman's supposed to be the "serious one" of the Original Seven, but he actually had a number of funny lines over the course of the series. Like that one and the New Genesis one I posted above.

Re: superhero quotes

Superman: The Wrath of Gog
Superman: "But trust me. You're never going to really die. Because if you did, I'd turn back time and undo it because I'd miss you so much."

Wonder Woman: "That's a sweet sentiment. But even you aren't that powerful."

JLA: Trinity #15

Re: superhero quotes

The Teen Titans animated series has dozens.

TEEN TITANS:
Starfire: "This tangy yellow beverage is most delicious!"
Cyborg: "Uh, Starfire..."
Robin: "...that's mustard."
Starfire: *hugs it* "Is there more?"

Starfire: "Cyborg's virus made sick the machine of money."

Starfire: "Maybe Robin would enjoy potatoing the couch with us."

Starfire (while playing cards): "Please...tell me again why it is bad to be the 'old maid'?"

Starfire: "Robin...who is this girl and why does she call you 'poo'?"

Cyborg (badly singing to the tune of the show's theme): "When there's trouble, you know what to dooooo! Call Cyborg! He's can shoot a rocket from his shoooooooooe! 'Cause he's Cyborg!!! Do do doo or something like that, Na na na na yeah, big fluffy cat! That's right!"

Starfire: "They [Robin, Beast Boy, and Cyborg] must be doing the 'hanging out' someplace. ...Perhaps we should do the hanging out! We never have before, and conceivably it could be fun. We might journey to the mall of shopping, or perform braiding maneuvers upon each other's hair, or..."
Raven: *gets angrier*
Starfire: "...You wish to be alone?"
Raven: "How could you tell?"

Starfire: "Robin! You are unwrinkled!"

Starfire: "This 'prom' is some manner of duel, yes? Then Robin eagerly accepts!"
Robin: "It's not a duel, Star...it's a date."
Starfire: "Robin does NOT accept!! Do you hear? He does NOT accept!!"

Starfire: "...You are a clorbag varblernelk!"
Beast Boy: "I'm a what-bag?"
Cyborg: "You heard the lady."
Raven: "You are such a clorbag."

Re: superhero quotes

Teen Titans was a bit to childish for me. I saw that arc with the end of the world caused by Raven and that grabbed my attention for a while, but it last if after.

Also, how the hell has this not made an appearance:
Batman: 'I am vengeance, I am the night...I...AM...BATMAN!'

Also:
Robin (one of them, anyway): 'Who the hell are you anyway, giving out orders like this?'
Batman: 'What, are you dense? Are you retarded or something? Who the hell do you think I am? I'm the goddamn Batman.
