Where the **** did this thread come from? I thought it was lost to time.

 

[Anubis]

Brought back from the land of long dead threads by some newbie.

Yup.

 

[Superman 1265]

From Superman/Batman: Public Enemies:

Batman: It's near your heart. The Kryptonite is slowing down your cellular restoration... ...But, I don't know if I'm fast enough to get the bullet out before the wound closes up.

Superman: ...Where's the Flash when you... need him...?

Batman: Do me a favor, Clark. Lose the sense of humor.

Superman: Do us both a favor, Bruce. Buy a sense of humor.

[DeGenerate10]

I worry because everyone seems to look up to me and it's making me a little uncomfortable. I can try but I can't solve every problem. I don't know if I can live up to this... myth they want me to be. - Superman

 

[Czar Colossus]

" Again you seek to play the hero, little madman. Again you pay the price!"
-Colossus slapping Wolverine around in Uncanny #124
"When you found me, I was an atheist.....raised to serve the state. For better or worse, you made me believe in something....and I can I can never return to my belief in "nothing". For that at least, I will always be grateful."
-Colossus to Prof. X from Excalibur #71

"You're much stronger than you think you are. Trust me."
-Superman All-Star Superman #1

"Listen to me Clark. Of all the things you can do .....all your powers...the greatest has always been your instinctive knowledge....of right....and wrong.
It was a gift of your own humanity. You never had to question your choices. In any situation...any crisis...you knew what to do. But the minute you made the Super more important than the Man....the day you decided to turn your back on mankind....that completely cost you your instinct. That took your judgement away. Take it back. If you want redemption, Clark...it lies in the very next decision you make. Make it as a man....and make it right."
- Norman McKay from Kingdom Come #4

 

[Anubis]

Shining Knight: Once, at the word of my lord King Arthur, I was ordered to lay waste to an entire village. I knew my king's heart could not be so unjust, so I spared them all.
General Eiling: Then you're a lousy soldier.


General Eiling: I will not allow any power to rival America's. It's my duty.
Shining Knight: You don't know what the word means.
General Eiling: You can't win.
Shining Knight: I'll die as befits a knight: defending the weak.

Flash-in-Lex: I need to relax.

Flash-in-Lex: That's not relaxing.

 

[Keilser]

Sapphire Stagg: No wonder he always looked up to you.
John Stewart: Me? He's the one who had it made.
Sapphire Stagg: No. He watches you on the news all the time. He still misses it—being in action, saving people's lives. I think he'd trade places with you in a minute.

From Justice League: Metamorphosis

 

[Maximus One]

Who just spent the last three days reading through this thread? This guy. Such a great thread, I'm gonna have to pull some stuff out later and contribute. It is pretty funny reading posts from '06 and people's reactions to the stuff happening in comics back then.

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

Superboy Prime-"I'll kill you! I'll kill you to death!!!"

 

[Hush]

This thread never dies....

 

[Maximus One]

"You're ruining me!!!" Superboy Prime

Is it weird that I just flat out love that character? Something about his story and then him just losing his **** the way he did I just loved

 

[Keilser]

No your not alone I loved him as well and his return in the corps war and final crisis

 

[Keilser]

Joker: Whew! Is it just me, or is there something going on between those two? Will Green Lantern ever admit to his feelings? Will Hawkgirl ever stop sublimating her passions with that BIG HONKING MACE?! Will True Love conquer all?
(raises his detonator)
Joker: Not on my show!
Justice League: Wild Cards

 

[Keilser]

Justice League Starcrossed

Amazing quotes are plentiful from there

 

[Maximus One]

Couple from Sinestro Corps War

"Heh. Stupid Earth."
Superboy Prime

"Fight or Flight. Every animal in the universe has that survival instinct rear it's head when they're in a situation like this. And THIS is where my wires get crossed. Fight or flight? I always do both."

God damn I love Hal.

And this little exchange

Hank Henshaw: The Guardians do not know what they truly face. Or what any of us are truly after.

Manhunter: Are they afraid Grandmaster?

Hank Henshaw: Yes.

Manhunter: What is it to be afraid?

Hank Henshaw: To live.

 

[Maximus One]

Hank Henshaw: Over the years, I have been detonated, burned and disintegrated yet I continued to survive. The cosmic accident that cursed me with immortality murdered my friends and drove my wife mad. She was able to end her own life. I am not, Anti-Moniter.

Anti-Monitor: When you have done what we have asked of you. I will not fail where Superman and Green Lantern have. I WILL kill you, Hank Henshaw.

Hank Henshaw: Thank you.

With a tear forming in his eye. God I love such tragic villains

 

[Keilser]

Not from a comic but from a great comic writer.

"We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, and still they return patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be."
Grant Morrison

 

[Keilser]

From Justice League Initiation

"Superman: Each of you brings something different to the table. Strength. Speed. Stealth. Whatever. But we're all equal in at least one way: Each of us is willing to make the sacrifices a hero needs to make, even the ultimate one. Since there are so many of us, we have a chance to do more than just put out fires, both literal and figurative. We can be proactive. We can do some real good in the world. But we're going to have to be organized. J'onn'll be up here keeping an eye on everything. He'll be the one to decide whose going where and when. I know a lot of you are used to making those decisions for yourself, but from now on we have to be more coordinated than that. We can't be cowboys any more... or cowgirls."

From Jlu "Kid Stuff"

"Batman: I haven't been a kid since I was eight years old"

 

[Maximus One]

"I don't have to do anything. Parallax, right now, but stay black!!"
John Stewart
