Favourite X-Quotes

[Zombienorthstar]

All manner of mesmerising dialogue, monologue...heck even soliloquy....from Marvel's merry mutants...the humourous, the heartwarming and the inspirational...feel free to post it here

Beast: Maybe Scott and Logan could fight on the lawn again. The kids love that.
Wolverine: I ain't up for anything that hasn't got the word "beer" in it.
Beast: You could fight for beers.
Wolverine: Well. Now that doesn't sound too bad.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Abigail Brand: I'm special agent Abigail Brand. I head the Sentient Worlds Observation and Response Department. We work with S.H.I.E.L.D., handle matters extraterrestrial.
Beast: The goverment and their acronyms...honestly, it's adorable.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Magneto: Nazis? Do I look like a failed artist with a neurotic grudge against his father and the world? I am a force of nature, boy. I am Magneto.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Kitty Pryde: "I've been an X-Man since I was fourteen, Pete. It's like wearing a big sign saying 'Please try and kill me, I like it.'"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nurse Annie: [about how nothing is a secret at the mansion] "Everyone knows that I don't like mutants. Everyone knows I have a thing for Alex. Everyone knows you used to date Lorna. Everyone thinks Northstar and I are dating, even though he's openly homosexual..."
Bobby: "Northstar's gay!?"



Feel free to add your own.

[The Mirrorball Man]

WOLVERINE: "Hey, bub, I know what you're thinkin'. 'He's hurt an' he's five meters away from me, an' I got a full clip of ammo in my rifle. Question is: can I kill Wolverine before he can reach me an' cut me into shish-kebab with those freaky claws of his?"

[RoguefanAM]

In TAS Rogue had the best quotes of the entire series, I loved every episode she appeared in.

----------

Rogue: "You're more nervous then ah long-tailed cat in a room full of rockin' chairs."

-----------

A horde of people run past Rogue and Storm, screaming.

Rogue: "Must be a sale."

----------

*Sigh* I'm still waiting the for the next X-cartoon to come out...I would be more exicted about it if it wasn't centered on Wolverine, though. :rolleyes:

[rilokyle]

Here's some good Lorna quotes I came upon on the internet.

Alex: "Lorna, what do you think about Rahne?"
Lorna: "It makes the grass grow."
[X-Factor #74]
--------------

Lorna: "There is no way I'm getting involved with a group that had the Blob and those guys as members!"
[Lorna's first answer to Val's offer to join "Freedom Force" in X-Factor #70]
--------------

Lorna: "I'm not one to criticize, but I've been eavesdropping on every one of your dramatic entrances...and you people are in desperate need of new material! Creative you're not."
[Chastising a group of Genoshan grunts for their lack of witty repartee
X-Factor #91]
--------------

Lorna: "I'm getting married, Jubilee, not surgically attached. And if Rogue had any sense, she'd take two aspirin, put on a power inhibitor and go right to bed."
[On the subject of Gambit and his hotness in Uncanny X-Men #425]

[Deus ex Chris]

I'm too lazy to write out any quotes, but you can't go wrong with Morrison's Emma, Whedon's Kitty, or Carey's Rogue (already), all three being fabulously quotable.

[fishtaco]

"Excuse me all to blazes but where is it written it's a crime to prefer your scuzzball slimoid aliens onna tube, where at least you can change the channel or turn the stupid set off, an' not right in your face? Ugh! Why do they have to smell? Jeez, I really hate it when Wolvie goes cruising I mean how's he ever gonne get better if he keeps picking bar fights that always escalate into World War Three?" -Jubilee, Uncanny X-Men #275.

"Rage consumes you. Grief eats away at your soul. Because you believe you failed those you loved best. Why did they die and you survive? For all your power, you could not save them. That guilt -- your secret shame -- keeps you from achieving the potential, and destiny, that is your birthright." - The Beyonder, Uncanny X-Men #202.

"My body is at rest. In harmony, with nature, within and without. My spirit, at peace. Neither sight nor sound nor taste nor touch nor smell not even the smallest sensation to disturb this all-embracing stillness. All I'm left with are my thoughts, and they are mad!" - Wolverine (in his own mind), Uncanny X-Men #258.

"Howdeedo! You're Cyclops and Marvel Babe, am I right? Name's Guido, I work for Lila Cheney." -Strong Guy, Uncanny X-Men #274.

"See, my sweet and silken Psylocke, how generous is your lord and master Mojo. New eyes -- wondrous new eyes -- have I made for you, whose substance blends your soul with mine. Now we'll never be apart!" - Mojo, New Mutants (1st Series) Annual #2.

"What is this what is this huh? I cook I clean I scrounge for food an' cash an' medicine I take care'a you I sail this stupid boat all the way here an' like all of a sudden you figure I can't handle'a couple of hick-city cops gimme a break!" -Jubliee, Uncanny X-Men #257.

"That, my pretty, depends on your point of view. I for one am overjoyed to see you. It's been sooooo long, Grey, since last you visited." -The Shadow King, Uncanny X-Men #273.

"The better to slay me?! My healing factor makes me a mutant. Lacing my bones with adamantium an' giving me these claws -- that was done to me. But you asked to be changed. You did this to yourself. Threw away a humanity that I'd give pretty near anything to possess. Your old man'd be proud. You're a carbon copy. What a waste." -Wolverine, Uncanny X-Men #205.

"You humans slaughter each other because of the color of your skin, or your faith or your politics, or for no reason at all. Too many of you hate as easily as you draw breath. What's to prevent you from adding us to that list? I thought I could impose sanity from above -- through conquest -- but there are too many of you. So, I decided I must try another way. I am the reason mutants are unjustly feared. That is why I am here, why I will abide by the cour's decision. My hope is to make the world understand the reasons for my being. But most of all, to punish me for my crimes, and no longer my people. Whatever my fate, you must face tehe reality presented by our -- mutants -- existance. You cannot wish us away. You cannot ignore us. We -- Homo Sapiens Superior -- are your children. We are the next generation of humanity. What kind of parent fears his progeny? Tries to murder them? Is this the legacy you wish to leave? I have seen the error of my ways. Can you say the same?" -Magneto, Uncanny X-Men #200.

"Prove yourself worthy. Remember in Israel, when we were young -- the dreams -- the ideals we shared? After that, we walked tragically different paths. You say now yours was wrong. You seek to make amends. Here is your chance! Do what no one believes can be done. It will stand as a far nobler monument, and better safeguard to mutantkind then your martyrdom here at this trial." -Professor X, Uncanny X-Men #200.

"This is crazy! The world's turned upside down -- become a nightmare where we X-Men are villains, and some of our oldest enemies, the good guys." -Havok, Uncanny X-Men #226.

"Searching for myself, of course. Everyone I touch -- every thing too -- has a history. A sense of where it came from and why it was created. But not me. Why don't I have memories, Storm? Why does my life begin the moment I popped into the X-Men's old Danger Room? Where did I come from? What's my purpose... Too many holes for a person to be whole. There has to be more of me somewhere. I guess I better go find it. I don't want to leave, Storm. You're my friends. But I can't be your friend 'til there's an all of me to be." - Longshot, Uncanny X-Men #248.

"Observation: Self's cranial extremity has interfaces with edible, semi-solid nomenclature "Ice-cream". Conclusion: We are being bombarded with projectiles." - Warlock, New Mutants (1st Series) Annual #3.

"Because the Phoenix has no choice but to follow the dictates of her heart." -Franklin Richards 2013, Uncanny X-Men Annual #14.

"She's my mom, Franklin. I sense the essence of her thoughts as naturally as I do my own. She's hurt and angry and scared. Because she blames herself for a lot of what's to come." - Phoenix, Uncanny X-Men Annual #14.

"Time to go, then. Hounds -- heel! That includes you, Rachel." -Ahab, Uncanny X-Men Annual #14.

"In the meanwhile -- every time you look at Cyclops and the Invisible Woman, you'll see my marks on their faces, and in those scars, your own fate." -Ahab, Uncanny X-Men Annual #14.

"I'm sorry. I never meant to hurt you. I just wanted to find my home, my family. Same as Frank. He got lucky. His search is over. Me -- I guess I'll have to start fresh and make my own." - Phoenix, Uncanny X-Men Annual #14.

"Rachel -- wait!! I didn't mean --? Except I did. A part of me. Somewhere inside. Every time I see her, all I see is myself -- locked in a box that is the future -- condemned to a fate as pre-ordained and unchangeable as the sunrise. And all I feel is this rage -- so much resentment there's no room for anything else. Any I strike out when I want to embrace." - Jean Grey, Uncanny X-Men Annual #14.

"Whatever the future, the present grows increasingly dangerous. There are too many major forces on the loose, out for our blood. If all of us are searching for the X-Men, who will defend those left behind? The risks are great, we dare not leave ourselves vulnerable on any front -- so joining forces may well be the safest course." - Storm, Uncanny X-Men Annual #14.

"You're talkin' about the X-Men, right? So who are they, anyway? May be a totally happening reality to you and Psylocke, but I never heard of 'em, like it's y'know some kind of secret society or somethin'. I mean, what makes 'em so special?" -Jubilee, Uncanny X-Men Annual #14.

"And once you rationalize one execution, how do you hold back the next time? Selene [is] the Black Queen, but you're Phoenix! I saw what your mom did, Ray, better you die -- quick and clean -- than risk going down that road." -Wolverine, Uncanny X-Men Annual #14.

"C'mon, what're you waiting for? You're bigger'n me, an I'm just a girl! Hey -- maybe I'm a mutie, too! Ever think of that? Maybe we all are? Maybe the big guy can turn into steel and his kid sister's a demon sorceress and I can walk through walls! Maybe when you're done, you can hang our heads on your wall as trophies. Or, better yet, take our scalps, like they did in the Wild West. That'll really be something to be proud of." -Shadowcat. Uncanny X-Men #210.

"Total mincement! Are those skuds toast, or what? But it is so absolutely gross, the way they always melt. I mean, like unto major barf!" - Jubilee, Uncanny X-Men #268.

"Magneto is peripheral. It is Cable and the challenge he poses that we must deal with. Have either of you considered that he might be right? Times have changed since Charles Xavier founded this school and created the X-Men. Changed ever since he brought in myself and my companions to be the team's second generation. Now there is a third, and we must answer, my friends: Are we fit caretakers any longer for Xavier's school and his dream? Or has the time come to turn that role over to others as it was handed first from him to you, and you to us?" - Storm, Uncanny X-Men #273.

[Darkwave]

So many good ones. But off of the top of my head:

UXM 331: Beast (after his lab explodes) -- "In the moment I thought I was going to die...my life flashed before my eyes...and I was being played by Jim Carrey"

XM 68: Iceman (during OZT): "I wonder if Scott ever had days like this?"

UXM 356: [upon meeting some woman in Alaska while visiting Scott and Jean]

Archangel: "I can't believe you're not spoken for, and we're only strangers until we meet. Warren Worthington."

Iceman: "Semi-taken, but always looking. And I'm Bobby Drake. Younger, cooler, hipper..."

Archangel: "Louder."

[Frodo-X]

Nick Fury: How do you know your Colossus is the genuine article in the first place?
Emma Frost: I read his mind.
Beast: I matched his DNA.
Wolverine: I smelled him.
Beast: I also did that.

Colossus: Who is the "Hilton" girl?
Beast: It doesn't matter. On a lot of levels.

[fishtaco]

"The dream, Captain. Charles Xavier's dream, of a world where all Earth's children, mutant and otherwise, live together in peace and harmony. Where people are judged for who they are, not what they look like or how they're born. That's why he created the X-Men, to exemplify that dream. Are you saying, simply because the X-Men are dead, we're supposed to give up?...But King Arthur had a dream, too. Of a world where might served right, instead of subjugating it. His knights of the round table were the agents of that dream, and his sword, Excalibur, the symbol of it. And the sword, the means of keeping the legend alive and vital through the ages. The X-Men thought enough of Professor Xavier's dream to offer up their lives. Is it so much to ask taht we fight to preserve it? The sword, Excalibur, represented hope. It was light in the darkness of fear and ignorance and hate. Do we want -- have we the right -- to snuff it out? I've run my whole life. I can't remember a time when I wasn't scared. I let people tell me what to do -- it's easier that way, y'know -- saves you from having to take responsibility for anything. Well, I'm tired of running. I want to take a stand. Because if I don't, then maybe I better let the Warwolves carry me back to the make-believe slaveworld where I belong. A world of illusion and artifice, where whatever sells best gets the glory, whether it's truth or lies." - Phoenix, Excalibur (1st Series) Special Edition #1.

"Why, Ororo? Why was Brian chosen to become Captain Britain, and not me? He never wanted that ind of life -- it was all I ever dreamed of -- I'd have given anything for the chance." -Psylocke (in her own mind), Uncanny X-Men #256.

"I'm Wolverine. I'm the best there is at what I do. And what I do...isn't very nice." -Wolverine, Wolverine (1st Series) #1.

"Then you are agreed. ANd that is for the best. I salute you, X-Men -- magnificent though you were as heroes, all a person might wish to be, now you can do much more, because you have become legends." - Roma, Uncanny X-Men #227.

"Are you not aware that the humans are forcing known mutants to register? Have you no concept of what that may mean?" - Magneto, New Mutants (1st Series) #61.

"Life was so simple when I first joined the X-Men. Our mutant powers made us special and that, in turn, gave us a responsibility to protect humanity from those who would do it harm. To help build a world where all the Earth's children would live together in peace and harmony. When did that dream become a nightmare? The good we did rarely seemed to matter. All people cared about were the threat mutants were supposed to represent. Even other groups of super heroes looked on us with distrust. Why bother anymore? Let others bear the burden, we X-Men have bled enough. The world cares nothing for us. We should return the compliment and accept that finally our dream is done. But if I say that, how then do I live with myself?" -- Colossus, Uncanny X-Men #225.

"You chill one of our guys, Russkie, I ice one of yours. Seems only fair." The Blob, Uncanny X-Men #199.

"A great deal has happened since your departure, and little of it I fear good. The school as you remember it is effectively no more. The responsibility is mine, as leader of the X-Men. I did what I thought was right and necessary. Some of those decisions turned out to be mistakes. The world changed. We seemed to set a standard, our enemies rose to meet it. Life devolved into an unending battle, so much effort spent on survival that we began losing sight of what we were surviving for." -Storm, Uncanny X-Men #277.

"Dreams are sometimes windows to other realities. And waking doesn't always make things better." Phoenix, Excalibur (1st Series) Special Edition #1.

"So much...for smoking. Healing factor can't cope...with tobacco...way it used to. Wonder if it ever will again. All my life, no matter how badly I was hurt, I always got better. Suppose that's changed? Always laughed at death, 'cause I never took it seriously. Maybe it's time I did." -Wolverine, Uncanny X-Men #157.

"I am sorry for your son, Colonel, which is more than I ever heard for the slaughter of those I loved." -Magneto, Uncanny X-Men #275.

"I know almost none of you, who wear my X-Men's colors. It is a hard thing to ask, that you leap from one hard-fought victory to another batlte, where the foe is as deadly, the outcome as much in doubt. All I can say is that the Shadow King is the kind of creature I founed my school -- and then the X-Men -- to combat. He is everything I have stood against my entire life." -Professor X, Uncanny X-Men #277.

"I should be ashamed, Mariko-chan, for the way I chose to honor the anniversary of our wedding that never was. You called it off, sent me away, told me not to return until you had proved yourself worthy of me, as I had of you. I should be samurai. I should be strong. But I love you, Mi'ko. How can any warrior survive when he's cut out his heart? And yet -- how can I not, in honor, resect your wishes. Wolverine wouldn't. He'd take what he wanted, the devil with rules, morality, honor. But I'm Logan, too. And, like it or not...Logan's a man. Sometimes though -- it hurts so bad missing you, the warrior's way seems so hard -- forgive me, Mariko. I feel as though I'd give my soul for things to be different." -Wolverine, Uncanny X-Men Annual (1st Series) #11.

"Don't say that, Doug. You...it...I... If you believe that, Doug Ramsey, then you don't know me...and why I ever bothered to care about such a consummate child." - Psylocke (in her own mind), Uncanny X-Men #256.

"Once more, I howl 'til my voice shatters at the sight of my daugther, Anya, burning to death before my eyes. Once more, hot blood mixes with salt tears as my beloved Isabelle's throat is cut by those I thought my trusted friends. Once more, rage flashes through me hand in hand with a terror I'd not felt since Auschwitz as at last I confront the Shadow King, followed by sick shame at the awful cost of my survival." -Magneto, Uncanny X-Men #275.

"I can endure. But as an X-Man, Brian, I have to fight. This is a band of warriors! ANd I wonder -- do I truly belong, and if so, why? You see, some of the team -- like Havok -- choose the glory road out of duty. Some, like poor Dazzler, because fate gives them no real choice. But others seem actually to be born to it. Wolverine is one, Storm another. I must know, Brian -- whuch am I?" - Psylocke, Uncanny X-Men Annual (1st Series) #11.

"They call you the Chaos Bringer. They say Phoenix was evil -- that your power was too terrible to be controlled -- and your human spirit too weak to withstand it's temptation. I say that's wrong! I'm your daughter -- first-born and only child -- and I claim the power and the name of Phoenix that are mine by right! My people -- mutantkind -- are threatened by the forces of prejudice and race hatred, just as my world is threatened by The Beyonder. I mean to safeguard them both. Once Professor Xavier is gone, there'll be no one left powerful enough to help new mutants or protect them but me. This is my chance to balance the scales -- to make up for all the bad things I did in the future, and you, mom, did in the past. I want everyone to remember the Jean Grey who assumed the mantle of Phoenix to save the man, and friends, she loved more than her own life. In my timeline -- as well as this one -- mom saved the universe! Can I do any less?" - Phoenix, Uncanny X-Men #199.

"Is this the mountain I was meant to climb, the purpose -- the destiny -- I have so long sought? A bridge, not simply between old way and new, but races as well -- between humanity and it's mutant children! Oh, Mjnari, oh my Goddess -- I am not worthy! Refuse, then -- crawl back into your cave, flee from duty and responsibility. It is easily done. A path you have already walked. But if I truly craved oblivion I would have let Wolverine kill me in the cave. Or will myself to death as Mjnari did on this hilltop. I have found my home -- it is the whole of the world -- and with it, the reason for my being! I have no powers, my body cannot fly, but I no longer mind, for in my heart and soul -- where it truly matters -- I soar higher than the stars!" -Storm, Uncanny X-Men #198.

"This Magneto possesses power enough to reshape this orb, yet he chooses not to use it, though his very existence is threatened. Indeed, he prevented Rachel from using her power to accomplish what she desired, yet she does not act against him. It is most puzzling. In my stay here, I have seen nothing but contradictions. These X-Men, especially the one called Rachel, are among the most puzzling conundrums. As I have observed before, the only way to fully explore and thereby comprehend the myriad facets of humanity is to experience them first-hand. It is not enough to dwell at the fringes of their activities as a phantom. To know what is human, I must truly become human!" -The Beyonder, Uncanny X-Men #196.

"Excuse me. Ya got any grey poupon?" -Strong Guy, X-Factor (1st Series) #71.

"There is no way I'm getting involved with a group that had the Blob and those guys as members." -Polaris, X-Factor (1st Series) #70.

"I am Sunder! ANd I am here to hurt you!" -Sunder, Uncanny X-Men #169. Lol.

"Of course you did, sweet lad. Your official No-Prize is in the mail..." -Shadowcat, Excalibur (1st Series) #17.

"My new pal, Lockheed, came an' got me when ev'rybody sarted rough-housing -- boy, you grown-ups are all a bunch of stupid babies! You ought'a be ashamed! Kitty is fizzing away -- and this dumb rumpus is making her fizz faster! Don't you know she's dying? Don't any of you even care?" -Franklin Richards, Fantastic Four v.s. The X-Men #4.

"I beg your pardon. But don't you know it's impolite to shoot people?" - Longshot, Uncanny X-Men #222.

[Kirayoshi]

Kitty: I'm sorry. You have to know that if you're a clone or a robot or, yeah, a ghost or an alternate universe thingie, I can deal, but if you are some shapeshifter or illusionist who's just watching me twist I will kill you, I will kill you with an axe, so right away just prove it, say something, show me something, I can't...
Peter: Katya--
Kitty: You died! Peter Rasputin is dead and I know this because I took his ashes to Russia and scattered them myself!
Peter: You did?...Thank you.

Logan: You feeling rested, Petey?
Peter: I am strong.
Logan: Then I got just two words for you...

Kitty: I'm Jewish. I'm also a woman, an American and a Cubs fan. All of which makes me a minority or an object of hatred somewhere in the world. But here, in this university, none of that's supposed to matter. Except for that bit about the Cubs.
(that one I quoted from memory)

Peter: I...hear you, butcher--inside my mind--laughing! You...enjoy causing pain...death. Before I met you, I never understood...evil. You are evil, Proteus. But you have made a fatal mistake. You toyed with me when you should have slain me. Allowing me time to change from Peter Rasputin--to COLOSSUS! That mistake will be your last!

Scott: I want that thing off my lawn!

Kitty: This is Peter Nickolaevitch Rasputin. And you owe him the Goddamn truth!

Xavier: Henry--report!!
Beast: "Stars and garters" is the only thing that springs to mind, sir
Banshee: Saints preserve us
Beast: Okay, that, too.


Beast: Eldon, Senator, Professor--grettings. And a hearty 'seig heil!' to you, Mr Creed!

Beast: --A racist? It would take a more ignorant man than me to argue such a point! Though I confess I didn't recognize you sans your hood and robes. Might I suggest a logo? A burning DNA symbol perhaps?


Beast: [after he startles cyclops and cyke hits him with an optic blast]
Inconcieveable. For weeks, as my deviant doppelganger delighted in deceiving you---you never laid a hand upon the so called " black beast." Finally I leap, bound and bequeath you with my presence..and this is what I get...Zakt??
Cyclops: Sorry hank you startled me.
Beast: Imagine how I felt? I was expecting the more sedate salutation of, " Morning, Dr.McCoy. Aren't you looking particularly blue this day?" ZAKT??!
Cyclops: Guess we've all been * urn* on edge this * umph* past week. * urmp*
Beast: I blame myself. What with having been replaced by a homicidal maniac and me not telling anyone

[Zombienorthstar]

Northstar: "I know you like the little goldfish and all, but this seems a bit extreme. You're not doing anything untoward with the boy, are you?
Juggernaut: "Come on, Northstar, I like girls, present company excluded."
Northstar: "Did you--did you just call me a girl?"
Juggernaut: "Well, you like boys, don't you?"
Northstar: "No, I like men. Present company excluded."
Juggernaut: "Whoo, now I'm deeply wounded. I may never recover from the painful emotional shock of being rejected by a guy."


Northstar: "Didn't you used to be blue, Warren? I could have sworn you used to be blue."

Beast: "Sometimes, Bobby, I wonder if puberty will ever end for you."
Warren: "Or start."

[Arilou]

"I like Beer." - Wolverine (Okay, it's funnier in context)

[blinkinrogue]

M was a walking quotable quote, especially during her gen x and especially the recent quotes from x-factor was a winner. Now if i could only get that hilarious quote that somebody posted in comicboards about the exchange between emma and monet.... hm....

[fishtaco]

Not from the comics, exactly, but...
"I'm the JUGGERNAUT, bitch!!" :D

"An evil individual has turned my powers against me." -Quicksilver, X-Factor (1st Series) #71 (better with a given context).

"You ask me, I blame society." -Strong Guy, among other characters, X-Factor (1st Series) #71 (better with a given context).

"We’ve come to tell you that we’ve joined Magneto. I know this’ll be hard for you to understand, but a lot what he says makes sense. Maybe his means are a little extreme, but I think we can temper them. The plain fact, though, is that while your dream of peaceful integration was right for it’s day, time have chanted. We have to match it. Same as Cable and his X-Force. Magneto is the right man for this era, sir, and we mean to stand by him to the end." -Cyclops, X-Men (2nd Series) #2.

“She has never looked more lovely. This is Raven as I know her, the spirit-soul within my dearest friend-- full of strength and courage and passion-- that I have loved from the moment we met. But she is not alone here. Everywhere I turn, statues abound. Each exemplifying the noblest, finest aspects of the person they represent. Possessing such beauty, they make my heart ache. Then, I realize that everything around me is carved from crystal. Birds, animals, insects, flowers, even the distant mountains and the ground beneath my feet-- all frozen. In a moment of sublime, absolute transcendent…perfection. Overhead, a crystal moon glitters in the firmament beside a crystal sun. And suddenly, I am the one overhead…with the vast panoply of the milky way strewn before me. All the stars that ever were…the beings that live on their attendant worlds…no more. I weep. Without knowing whether from grief at what’s been lost…or joy at the indescribable glory that remains. And with those tears, the awareness that my moment has come. Yet, even as glory envelopes me, I hear some small part of me shriek a denial, calling on me to fight…and somehow save myself. Too late.” -Destiny, Uncanny X-Men #254.

[DDM]

"My language would make a Royal Marine blush. My thoughts are worse. All they see in me--all they acknowledge--is my shell! The sweet innocent, genteel, Princess Di facade. How do I show them the tiger within?!"--Psylocke Uncanny X-Men #213 in response to the X-Men's not wanting any new teammates & not wanting Psylocke's help.

[Hi-Fi]

ROGUE: "We got a postcard from Cyclops, X-Folks! Really ancient postmark."

COLOSSUS: "Is all well with his family, Rogue?"

ROGUE: "Seems so, Pete. Madelyne wrote this. It's a photocard of the Summers clan - her, Scott and the rugrat - boy, is the kid gonna stay that ugly his entire life?!"

LOL! I like that one!

Someone should post the Kitty Pryde speech about the student's suicide....

[Mikl C]

PROFESSOR XAVIER IS A JERK!

And by heavens, they made her correct!

Speaking of Kitty, she used the word "bub" a few times:

"Anything you can do... Self can do better!"
~Warlock, New Mutants annual #3

"No. You idiot. Dupes may be identical, but there's only one true, accept-no-substitutes... Multiple Man!"

Someone should post the Kitty Pryde speech about the student's suicide....

"YeahbutWHAT?"

[DDM]

"What do you want from me Charles? Understanding? Approval? I'll concede one, but not the other. Rogue tore my life--my very soul--to shreds & those scales can never be balanced. I'm sorry, I'm just not that forgiving. I have nothing to lose here, Charles, no real ties to break. That makes my decision easy. I'm not an X-Man--& all of a sudden, I'm glad!"--Binary in response to Rogue joining the X-Men, Uncanny X-Men #171

[Zombienorthstar]

FORGE: Would anyone blame us for following our hearts?
STORM: Our love could consecrate this world, give it a soul.
FORGE: And what a soul that would be.

[The Sword Is Drawn]

As in my sig...

Captain Britain: It's like this, Wisdom. We believe that, basically, under the unutterably foul exterior, you're halfway decent.
Nightcrawler: I'll agree to you staying with the team. But if you ever --
Captain Britain: -- EVER --
Nightcrawler: -- Hurt Kitty --
Captain Britain: -- I will, without hesitation, tear off your head.
Nightcrawler: And I will spend days mocking it and drawing pictures on it before teleporting it into the North Sea.

Astonishing #5
Kitty: I'm sorry. You have to know that if you're a clone or a robot, or, yeah, a ghost or an alternate universe thingie I can deal... but if you are a some shapeshifter or illusionist who's just watching me twist I will kill you I will kill you with an axe so right away just prove it, say something show me something, I can't-
Piotr: Katya-
Kitty: You died! Peter Rasputin died and I know this because I carried his ashes to Russia and scattered them myself!
Piotr: You did? Thank you.

Astonishing #14
Piotr: Are you all right?
Kitty: Oh my god! I phased!
Piotr: Are you all right?
Kitty: Are you?
Piotr: It was strange.
Kitty: I can't believe I phased just then! That's never... it was totally your fault.
Piotr: I like to think so, yes.
Kitty: Tee-hee.

How about posting some non Colossus / Shadowcat quotes as well?

Here are some fun Rogue quotes. :D

X-Men #33
Rogue: (To Iceman after he freezes the pool Rogue just dove into.)You are deader then a snowman in July. An' ah mean TV movie of the
week, CNN all-day coverage kinda dead!

X-Men #81
Rogue: Ah don't usually make it a habit t'beat the snot outta girls who obviously got mental problems Kail...but you couldn't have picked a day where I felt less sympathetic.

Astonishing X-Men #1
Rogue: (Sigh) What am I going to do with you, Remy Lebeau?
Gambit: I have a list but I left it in my other pants.

X-Man #11
Nate Grey: You're Rogue! leader of the X-Men---an' you're married to Magneto!
Rogue: Magneto?! honey, not in this lifetime!

X-Men #188
Emma Frost: Why did I wake up with a hangover Rogue? Care to Tell?
Rogue: I took some liberties with your prostrate body, Emma. Didn't make me any happier'n it makes you.

X-Men #189
Logan: But when it turns out you're wrong, you know how close your are to the ragged edge. SNIKT! (Logan extends one claw in Rogue's face.)
Rogue: That close? Lordy.

X-Men #190
Emma Frost: They saw an angel, but I am fairly sure she was a post-production effect.
Rogue: You mean like your hair?

[Mystique's Rogue]

In TAS Rogue had the best quotes of the entire series, I loved every episode she appeared in.

----------

Rogue: "You're more nervous then ah long-tailed cat in a room full of rockin' chairs."

-----------

A horde of people run past Rogue and Storm, screaming.

Rogue: "Must be a sale."

----------

*Sigh* I'm still waiting the for the next X-cartoon to come out...I would be more exicted about it if it wasn't centered on Wolverine, though. :rolleyes:

One of my fave Rogue lines in XTAS:

From Days of Future Past Part II

Cyclops: Rogue, do you see Bishop?
Rogue: I could spit on him, if I wasn't a lady. Looks like he's running for Congress.

From the Xtreme X-Men issues:

Rogue (to Gambit) WHILE I LIVE, YOU DON'T DIE!!!

Rogue: .........you do it for fun. We're X-Men. WE DO IT FOR REAL!

Rogue: you wanna see the Mystique in me? (or something like this, I'm not sure of the exact quote, I just remembered the "Mystique in me" )

Storm: Rogue will kill us both for this.
Gambit: You just got a kiss, 'ro. She owns my heart.

Rogue: PHOENIX!
Jean: We're X-Men, Rogue. We're family. Call me Jean.
(Rogue and Jean hugs each other)


I also like almost all the lines of Kitty Pryde and Professor X in the Dream's End TPB. That issue wherein Colossus' death saddened Kitty and she wrote a letter to Professor X saying she was leaving and she asked Prof X to PLEASE NOT search for her.

Most recently, my favorite quote was one made by Rogue at the conclusion of the Blood of Apocalypse storyline.

"Nothing makes sense anymore."
