Twelve quotes from twelve issues of Nextwave:

"I shall kick you to death with slippers on, so it doesn't hurt that much. I'm an awful liar, aren't I, darling? - Ellie Bloodstone

"I hate girls. Girls have soft bits. Agents of H.A.T.E. shouldn't have soft bits. They should have hard bits. Muscles and stuff. I have hard bits. I do. Lots of them... I think I'm having a nervous breakdown." - Dick Anger

When I kill you with a motorcar, you should have the common decency to stay dead, you horrid little object" - Ellie Bloodstone

"I HATE COPS! Because, like, cops keep arresting me and stuff? For stealing? Like stealing's crime or something?" - Tabitha Smith, while kicking the crap out of a cop.

"I'm sorry, broccoli murder-dudes. You just grow up to be, like, too harsh, you know? - Tabbi again, while euthanasing a crop of broccoli Beyond stormtroopers.

"Put the atomic puppies in the torpedo tubes! Yap yap bang! Ha ha ah ha ha! YAP YAP BANG!" - Dirk Anger gets carried away a bit.

"Like it matters. X-Men come back more than Jesus" - Monica Rambeau on the subject of Magik's death.

"I am the Dread Rorkannu, Master of the Dim Dimensions, and you cannot beat me up!"
"I am the Captain, I'm from XXXX Brooklyn, and I can barely understand XXX English!"

"This time I just want you to hit these people every way you can without killing them untel they beg auntie Monica to make the pain go away. That Clear." - Monica Rambeau's had enough.

"...No. It cannot be. My power transforms the mind, but you do not appear to have one." - Forbush Man faces off against Tabbi Smith

Well, #11 is rather low on dialogue, it being over 50% double page spreads. But there's baboon Wolverines, a battalion of Stephen Hawkinses with laser eyes, and dwarf gimp Iron Men in it and stuff...

"Moon-Boy had to go. Moon-Boy tasted bad and gave me considerable recal distress." - Devil Dinosaur.

[stelok]

"No one rivals Doom! NO ONE!" screams Dr. Doom, scolding Kristoff in Fantastic Four #258

"Wakandans make Vietnamese look like French", cautions Everett Ross the government officials in Black Panther series.

"You think this letter "A" on my forehead stands for France?" says Ultimate Captain America in Ultimates.

"Pain? Pain is like compassion. Pain is for lesser men" replies Dr. Doom to the monk.

"The police officers are not arresting Captain America. They are arresting Steve Rogers," Captain America informs the heroes of his surrender.

[The Man Without Fear]

One of the few comic book quotes I know off-hand and can cite the exact issue in which it appeared:

"And I--I have shown him...that a man without hope...is a man without fear." - Kingpin, Daredevil Vol. 1, #229

[CJ Lentze]

I've another one I like:

When Magneto had become the headmaster of Xavier's school, Alex Summers saw him, refused to co-operate with him and left. Then, Magneto said:

'Even when the leopard has truly changed his spots, what lamb would dare trust him?'

[hawkeye comeback]

"ultron we would have words with thee"-THOR avengers vol.3- 22

i was like aww yeah when i read that

[samson]

"Guess who just totally stole Cookie Monster's glasses?"
"Hey, look at me, I'm a blue furry geek!"
~Chase, in the Runaways/X-Men crossover, after lifting the Beast's glasses during the fight

"Why aren't you awesomed by me?!?!"
~Molly, after totally "calling it" in Runaways and then being ignored

Hehe, I'll stop now or I'll just end up quoting whole books of Runaways. :P

[Wild Card13]

"Spider-Man: I've done a lot of soul-searching, and I think I've figured out why Mr. Jameson has attacked me all these years. It's because I'm black.

JJJ: Well, I-I had no way of knowing--some of my best friends are-

Spider-Man: Just kidding."

[Meyvn]

It's hard for me to pick favorite quotes in comics a lot of the time, because often the very best lines are built up from the beginning of the story, and are one unit with the art, and are just far less effective separate from that context. A lot of the ones most people find "profound," I find cheesy and cliched.

That said, I do like this one by Cap from Ultimate Nightmare. He was fighting this Soviet Cap, and he says something along the lines of, "The purpose of war is to win." I liked its existential attitude.

"This is for Nova Corps!"

-Nova, utterly destroying Annihilus in Annihilation #6.

And you can just pick a phrase off this page from Guardians of the Galaxy #1.

I would have to go with this from WWH #1

Iron man gives his whole speech about how he takes responsibility for the Hulk and all that good jazz, injects him with nanos, and then bombs away from the jet fighters.

Then the quote is just so simple and great. Hulk is still alive and ticked and we just get the Iron Man

"oh, Hell....."

Followed by pure butt kicking.

[kello]

"I say thee nay!'" - Thor

[Marcus_Maximus]

"Never stop makin' them pay."

----Gladiator Hulk

[Ogre U AHole]

After his right hand "melts" away...

"Oh no! Not my Cinemax hand! Don't worry, Wade. We've made due with Senor Lefty before. True love is still possible."

Yeah, it's Deadpool.

[avengers63]

From Ultimate X-Men, during Jean's first experience as Phoenix and the Hellfire Club arc:

"Charles, are you scolding me while I'm being a GOD!?!?!?!?"

[CMBMOOL]

I have one:


-"Feeling loose and Slamming heat." From the Spider-girl series. :biggrin:

[carabas]

I got two...
I like this one From UFF #14: explaining continuity frell-ups like why dead people aren't dead anymore, the warren ellis way:

Reed: "If I'm crazy, then general Ross is crazy too."
Sue: "We know Ross is crazy. Remember when he said he'd put Dirty tim in a woodchipper if he'd try his mindcontrolling Nintendo thing again?
And then brought in a woodchipper the next day?"

"Ross is so crazy he got shot or blown up or something and then came back to life. On the slab.
And do you remember what he said to the mortuari attendant?

R: "Hands of my precious bodily fluids, soldier!"

And

"Do you think this E on my chest stands for America?" Ellie Bloodstone, Nextwave.
