Quotes by Alexander Summers (Earth-616)

Warpath, this maybe wasn't my best plan.

--Alexander Summers (Earth-616)

Accept my resignation as an Avenger and forget I was ever your figurehead. Looks like by "unity" you meant we follow your way, we do as you say. That's not unity, Steve-- That's tyranny. I thought you of all people would know the difference. But I can see now-- Scott was right about you.

--Alexander Summers (Earth-616)

I was with Lorna when I got the call. We held each other as tight as we could, all night. Nightcrawler prayed. Colossus painted. God knows what Wolverine did. It wasn't exactly a secret, his feelings. Probably better we never know. But Scott... He holds it inside. He just can't do anything else. His entire life has been about holding it in. His power demands it. If he lets it out, people get hurt. But I'm his brother. He can't hurt me. ... I wasn't there when he needed me most. But I can be here now.

--Alexander Summers (Earth-616)

The whole town's a duck blind, covering the real action underground.

--Alexander Summers (Earth-616)

Kill me. You have to kill me now before he-- before he regains this body.

--Alexander Summers (Earth-616)

So it's you and me together against the world, huh? Well I've had more experienced partners in my life, Scarlett.

--Alexander Summers (Earth-616)

Logan! Logan! Oh no! No! No! No! No! (...) He's dead! I've killed him, Scarlett! This was no accident! Somebody set it up! Somebody's responsible for this horror! Logan, I swear on your grave, I'll find who did this to you...and me...and kill him if it's the last thing I do!

--Alexander Summers (Earth-616)

You're the bravest woman I've ever met. I...I think I'm in love with you. Finding you...it's like a miracle.

--Alexander Summers (Earth-616)

All right, Hulk. I am Havok of X-Factor, a duly deputized arm of the U.S. government. You're in violation of treaties. Surrender. ... Please surrender.

--Alexander Summers (Earth-616)

Times have changed since we last met. I'm not a kid anymore.

--Alexander Summers (Earth-616)

I remember dying. . .

--Alexander Summers (Earth-616)

No. Not you. The Red Skull killed these people. You were all helplessly under his control. Even Thor and Captain America, the best among us, fell under his influence. This is not your burden. You have to remember that. None of this is your fault... But what happens next is. Look to your heart's for strength to face the future. And when you can't find it there... Look to each other.

--Alexander Summers (Earth-616)

We wear these things so people don't know who we are. But I want you to know exactly who I am. My name is Alex Summers. I am a student of Professor Charles Xavier. This team is an embodiment of his simple dream of all people working together. A fight more important now than ever. Recently the world saw my brother Scott infused with the power of a God. And while he tried to make a lasting change to fix what he saw as broken, no man should ever unilaterally take action or choose for so many. It is hubris. I never quite saw things as my brother did, and later our views diverged even further. I don't see myself as being born into a mutant cult or religion. Having an X-Gene doesn't bond me to anyone. It doesn't define me. In fact, I see the very word "mutant" as divisive. Old thinking that serves to further separate us from our fellow man. We are all humans. Of one tribe. We are defined by our choices, not the makeup of our genes. So please, don't call us mutants. The "M" word represents everything I hate... How about [calling me] Alex?

--Alexander Summers (Earth-616)

My rocket exploded -- what a surprise.

--Alexander Summers (Earth-616)

... this is what I have been most afraid of, ever since I first manifested my powers -- using it to kill.

--Alexander Summers (Earth-616)

Wouldn't that be a hoot -- to discover that our old, mute, mutant teleporter was taking care of us, just like Professor X used to.

--Alexander Summers (Earth-616)

Way to go, babe! Busted up those sludge-heads real good! Never see you do -- or look -- better!

--Alexander Summers (Earth-616)

What am I, Haley? What did I do?

--Alexander Summers (Earth-616)

The Brotherhood is not about senseless killing. It is about assuring that mutants will live in peace. With themselves, with each other, and amongst humans.

--Alexander Summers (Earth-616)

It's over! All the lies! All the mind games! They, and the Brotherhood, end tonight!

--Alexander Summers (Earth-616)

This was a mistake, our coming here. We should never have taken this gig, no matter how much Wolverine asked us to.

--Alexander Summers (Earth-616)

I knew I wasn't going to die. I kept waiting for my life to flash before my eyes... and all I got were reruns of "Mr. Belvedere".

--Alexander Summers (Earth-616)

Sorry, folks -- this lecture's just been canceled!

--Alexander Summers (Earth-616)

This is how it begins, Magneto... with the symbol of mankind's hatred of mutants... with Sentinels... sowing the seeds of ascension... Mothervine.

--Alexander Summers (Earth-616)

We take the deal. We help Vulcan stop the Scy'ar Tal. And then... then it's just a matter of which side can kill the other first

--Alexander Summers (Earth-616)

I can wait as long as it takes, Gabriel. Because I've already won. Because even though you rule an empire, you're still coming to me. So desperate for me to bow down to you. And it's never going to happen.

--Alexander Summers (Earth-616)

Oh, no. No, we're not leaving. ... No, Gabriel is going to come to us now. And this is where we're going to kill him.

--Alexander Summers (Earth-616)

..that looks like Xorn down there!

--Alexander Summers (Earth-616)

This thing wiped out a whole colony. I can't risk taking it back to civilization, let alone our home.

--Alexander Summers (Earth-616)

There are some things you're better off not knowing, Jameson. Believe me. You keep this up and soon...bang bang...you'll cry Havok!

--Alexander Summers (Earth-616)

Conversations with Alexander Summers (Earth-616)

Alex	I thought you said "Your sister is a puta" was a traditional greeting!
Logan	Yup. It's the prescribed return. Said so in the tourist phrase book.

— Havok and Wolverine Meltdown #1

Havok	You know, if this wasn't a mission to stop genocidal twins from performing a rapture... with the Moon and everything...
The Wasp	It would be a bit romantic.
Captain America	More so if I wasn't here.

— Uncanny Avengers #12

Church of Humanity Priest	Wait-- you're Kurt? Kurt Wagner? You're the one they were training to ascend to the Papacy?
Nightcrawler (Kurt Wagner)	Yeah, I figured as much. And once they had me in place, they would initiate a false Rapture, wouldn't they? So then, when this mutant Pope-- ---me--- --is "revealed" by a failure in the image-inducer-
Havok (Alex Summers)	The Church is revealed to be headed by the "Antichrist" and it would destroy the church completely. How would they initiate this false Rapture?
Church of Humanity Priest	They've been feeding me a diet of holy wafers-- --the bread disks that represent the body of Christ in communion ritual-- --and... they just don't taste right.

— Uncanny X-Men #424

Wolfsbane	Aye! What does some outsider know about leading... ...X-Factor...?
Havok	Well... for starters, Rahne... We've done it before. And hey... Guido... nice hair cut.

— X-Factor #230

Havok	You realize this is pretty far-fetched, don't you?
Storm	Of course.
Havok	The odds on this panning out are slim.
Storm	Of course.
Havok	We're going to do it anyway, aren't we?
Storm	Of course.

— X-Factor #86

Strong Guy	Am I wonderful or what?
Havok	What.
Strong Guy	I said, "am I wonderful or--" Oh. I get it. Y'know, Al -- you shouldn't trymake jokes... you're liable to sprain something.

— X-Factor #91

Havok	Don't bother. I've got nothing to hide here anymore, Nate. The walls are down, finally, all defenses dropped. Step right on in and see for yourself. Meet the true secret of your success. Your sudden ability to re-access tour telekinesis.
Nate Grey	He's behind you right now, in the shadows... The Black Beast of my Earth... Death Doctor of the Apocalypse?!
Dark Beast	Once again, Grey. Welcome to my world...

— X-Man #27

Havok	But... those coordinates. You're taking us out over the west coast.
Rogue	Yeah, ah guess there's some briefing sessions need to be had, at that. Lorna. Alex. Rachel. Welcome home. Now let's see... where do ah start?

— X-Men: Legacy #258

Havok	"Magnetrix"?
Lorna Dane	Hey! So it's less than brilliant. It's not like you came up with "Havok" for yourself!

— X-Men: The Hidden Years #3

Cannonball	I really think I'd be much happier--
Nightcrawler	--Scott, my friend, you know this can't work--
Polaris	Oh, dear Lord--
Magma	Scott! Scott, listen--
Archangel	Genosha?! I don't want to go to Genosha!
Northstar	Am I expected to just teach?!
Wolverine	Listen, bub, I appreciate the faith in me, but I can't be on all the teams--
Jubilee	Please, please, please let me on Paige's team --
Beast	This is an untenable situation, Scott--
Shadowcat	Wait, I thought you didn't need me anymore?
Sage	Why am I even here?
Cyclops	Listen once because this will be the only time I say this. No adjustments will be made to the team assignments. Period!
