Quotes by Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

That's right. Because pain goes away. Just like this hurt will. So just remember -- all pain is only temporary, okay? No hurt lasts forever.

--Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

--Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

Be quiet, Tom. I'm getting something... Wire...and sores and hunger and lice, Tom. My head's full of screaming people...and one of them's me!

I am Lady Mandarin. Yield, warrior -- or suffer the consequences!

--Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

Here I go. Alone. Armed. Facing impossible odds. Crawling through a ventilation duct. As Jubilee would no doubt say: "... eat your heart out, Bruce Willis!"

Looking for your teleporter? This challenge is to the death, remember? So how 'about we see just how good you really are?

--Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

This is who I was. A last link to my life. Gone. A life that was ripped away from me a long time ago by one man. A man I thought I had made my peace with. I was wrong. Whatever mercy I had left in me burned away with that body. Whatever vestiges of Elizabeth Braddock that would spare him again are gone. Become now? Matsu'o Tsurayaba is going to die.

--Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

Matsu'o!! I chided one of the X-Men's students for showing mercy to a foe. I did not tell her that I had made that mistake once. With you. You too me, body and soul, and I still forgave you. Despite everything you did, I let you live. Now I realize my mistake. Now I correct it. Face me!!

--Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

It isn't the morality of the mission that frightens me.. it is my elation at the opportunity to repay these devils.

I'm sorry. I know now. I deserve to die.

--Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

Oh my God -- Bishop?! Is that really you? Did you just growl at us?

--Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

I tell myself that if I do it... If I do take lives in the course of doing what's right... Then at least it means other people won't have to. Like I'm... Like I'm saving innocent souls. But that's a lie. That's lazy guilt-dodging bollocks. The truth is this: I rejoined X-Force because I couldn't bear to stay away. My name is Elizabeth Braddock, and I'm an addict.

--Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

He's not mad, Ororo. He's infuriating and prideful and egomaniacal and secretive... but he's also right. We can't bury our heads in the sand and wait for this to be over.

--Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

Lord... blind me! N-No look at all of them! This is what Akkaba wants. They want me to be afraid... to call out to... Warren -- Warren... Archangel... I'm sorry... but I need you!

--Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

You should have told me. You. I shouldn't have heard about this from anyone else.

--Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

No, Warren! Don't you see? All of this would just have been the start if you hadn't saved me. And if he took me, he can take others. Jean, the Cuckoos, Quentin, Emma Frost. Any one of them is like a psychic nuke, and he's going after them right now. I saw what he's planning. If he gets any of them... if he gets out...

--Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

It ends here, Sapphire! No more! No more souls!

--Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

And I never felt that way toward Kwannon's body, only mine. It was so much easier to be kinder to myself... through her body. I did not struggle with my eating disorder when I looked like her. Because she is not me, and she is beautiful. ⚞SIGH⚟ Anyway, my point is that I don't miss anything about the old ways.

--Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

It was the seat of power of Excalibur for so long -- it seems right to set up a gate there. And it might be the way to save Brian.

--Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

Are you through? Next time you're fearfully obsessing over me, save me a trip and just think your hateful thoughts. I can sense them from paradise, where I live. I serve the queen. And in times of crisis in the Otherworld, she trusts my judgment over her own.

--Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

We are not his. We are our own, and I am Otherworld's true defender. Surrender, Morgan Le Fay.

--Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

Well, the ritual is changed now. I'm not letting you kill it. Do what you do best. Adapt. You've been so eager to show all of Krakoa your virtues. Show us this one.

--Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

I'm sorry to hear that, my lady -- because I'm the only Captain Britain you've got.

--Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

I'm sorry-- Kwannon-- I--

--Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

It's a fresh start. No one can promise it won't hurt like hell... but I've certainly had enough of my own. This one is yours.

--Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

You're Arthur? King Arthur? How stupid the legends are. You're just a man. And you've forgotten why you fear my kind. I don't need this Citadel's power to stop you. I never have.

--Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

The Corps are fighting for the unconquered Citadel and Lady Saturnyne, who stayed within. And that's what this blade is made of. All the power of the Citadel-- hngh-- And it's all that's left untouched by Merlyn. I was given it-- --to lead the Captain Britain Corps.'
