Henry McCoy (Earth-616)/Quotes

Listen to me! The volcano flooded the entire complex with molten lava. Your power got you and me out -- but that's all. There's no way anyone else could have survived! Scott and the X-Men are dead, Jean. They're dead.

—X-Men Vol 1 114

Say, Tash, Speaking of dancing there's a great disco down on 59th ...

—Daredevil Vol 1 155

I have everything under control... Except my libido of course!

—Captain America Vol 1 228

Professor Xavier -- writing the words of a sermon that no one will--

—Avengers Vol 1 178

Forewarned is forearmed, Ms. M--But four arms do not great feats make! So, feets don't fail me now!

—Avengers Vol 1 190

-- you keep hitting that punching bag so hard, it's going to start hitting back!

—Marvel Two-In-One Vol 1 78

Say, shouldn't we say Avengers Dissemble?!

—Avengers Vol 1 210

When I left the Avengers, I thought I was going to find myself! So what's the first thing I do? Get myself hooked up with another super-team! Start playing hero all over again!

—Defenders Vol 1 122

According to the directions Pat gave us, this is the place! And that means the first order of business from here on in--is fun!

—Defenders Vol 1 125

I want to talk to you about a very serious topic -- goat farming! But you won’t let me! So superheroing it is, then!

—Defenders Vol 1 131

Well what are we waiting for? Just your ordinary bottomless chasm!

—Defenders Vol 1 135

Candy -- perhaps I’m showing my lack of insight in asking this -- but why do you have Galactus astride a giant Sassafras??

—Defenders Vol 1 138

Go ahead. Give 'em a show. Get out there and kill somebody -- anybody -- just for fun! And don't worry... I wan't be watching!

—Beauty and the Beast Vol 1 3

I haven't come here to apologize for being a clown on stage. It's important for people to see that mutants can laugh, can joke -- a testimony better than most that we are human. But Adrian Leverkuhn Castorp showed me something else: that we have to fight people like Robert Kelly, not only to stop them from caging us -- but to keep them from turning us into things we're not -- into beings driven by fear and dread -- into beasts.

—New Defenders Vol 1 142

Hey! I've got one! Free the mutants! X-TERMINATE X-FACTOR!

—X-Factor Vol 1 7

Save your breath for fighting, igloo-face. Looks like you're going to need it!

—X-Factor Vol 1 36

You rescued Jean. Saved Scott's brother. Maybe saved us all. Don't kid yourself...you've made your choice. Forget Dark Angel. You're our official Archangel now. Heaven knows, we can use one.

—X-Factor Vol 1 38

Oh, my stars and garters. What have we here?

—X-Factor Vol 1 41

American TROLL or ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN...you're no match for a new-fangled MUTANT!

—X-Factor Vol 1 42

Mesmero! You two-bit hypnotist!

—X-Factor Vol 1 55

It seems we've won...!

—X-Factor Vol 1 58

I'm a cute li'l furry Freak whose only Friends are other Freaks. Of course all of them can pass as Human, when they like. Is it any wonder I sometimes get the Blues? That wasn't meant to be a Pun.

—X-Factor: Prisoner of Love Vol 1 1

But I thought impressing teenage girls was the whole point of being a super hero!

—Wonder Man Vol 2 5

A feat with my feet could lead to your defeat! I crack me up.

—X-Men Vol 2 13

Please wait for the Danger Room to come to a complete stop. And use caution while checking the overhead compartments, as luggage may have shifted during travel.

—Uncanny X-Men Vol 1 306

Congrats, Trish. How's it feel to be nominated for a pulitzer and sell out an entire race in one fell swoop?

—Uncanny X-Men Vol 1 323

It's an asteroid belt... and there's no time to alter our course before we hit it!

—Uncanny X-Men Vol 1 342

Exemplary, my dear Iceman! As for me, my prodigious pedal extremities have things well in hand -- or foot, to be more accurate!

—Untold Tales of Spider-Man Vol 1 21

'Yap' is a technical term, I assure you.

—X-Men Vol 2 74

X-Men, let's go home.

—X-Men Unlimited Vol 1 28

Right. I would say potato, but it's too viscous, too thin. The lumps make me suggest rice, but it's too irregular. Which begs the question: when did our fine nation's penal system decide to start serving mucus?

—Wolverine Vol 2 164

They stood alone, Rogue. Against the forces of fortune and fate. We are X-Men. We stand together.

—X-Treme X-Men Vol 1 2

Each in our own way, we're all the inheritors of Professor Xavier's dream.

—X-Treme X-Men: Savage Land Vol 1 2

Miniaturized Sentinels, Logan. Bacterial robots hiding in the blood Cassandra showered us with. They're inside us, eating us away...

—New X-Men Vol 1 124

Just tell me there's coffee.

—Astonishing X-Men Vol 3 3

Thank you. I also have an excellent sense of smell.

—X-Men Unlimited Vol 2 8

Every study has shown that genetic mutants, people like us, have very specific energy signatures… more powerful energy signatures. Think about it. Last week there were over a million mutants across the planet… and now, all but a comparative handful of them appear to be nothing more than human. So as a scientist, I’m simply wondering… Where did all that energy go?

—X-Men: Deadly Genesis Vol 1 1

You can't build a cathedral on the head of a pin. When a species passes a certain point in its decline, it can't be saved.

—X-Men: Endangered Species Vol 1 1

People have enough trouble with cognitive dissonance. Computers just don't do it at all.

—X-Men First Class Vol 2 14

Lots of secrets filling these halls nowadays, Scott. More than normal for people like us. Logan leading a gang off to God knows where. Bloodstained clothes in the laundry. Warren transforming into Archangel again. To say nothing of what you've been up to, Miss Frost. Secrets, Scott. Secrets, Emma. In these times -- these awful, fractious times -- We... are all we have left. I'm taking the X-Club on a mission come daylight. I'll be gone some time. But when I get back, we're having it aaall out, do you hear me? These secrets will kill us. And I won't stick around to watch it happen.

—Uncanny X-Men Vol 1 511

I have absolutely no idea anymore, Bobby. I have no idea what I'm doing here anymore.

—Uncanny X-Men Vol 1 519

You can still be the light in the room and not blind everyone.

—Marvel Heartbreakers Vol 1 1

I'm sorry, Sabretooth. I think Burnout is starting to have an effect on you. I don't think your eyes are going to grow back, certainly not anytime soon. And I'm afraid your hand is likely gone for good.

—X-Men Forever Vol 2 20

Emma! Get M.S.F. Medics to our location right now! We have a gunshot victim, and I may feed these two idiot soldiers to Logan.

—Astonishing X-Men: Xenogenesis Vol 1 3

What gun? I can't fire a gun! I have paws!

—Secret Avengers Vol 1 16

I am sorry, Kitty, but you're not pregnant... you're under attack.

—Wolverine & the X-Men Vol 1 5

Funny thing though... I figured this time he'd be a pretty low number on the humanity scale. But, as it turns out... ...it was just the opposite.

—Hulk Smash Avengers Vol 1 2

RRRRNO!! You stay away from Earth! Never again! You understand?! You stay away from us or I'll kill you myself!

—Avengers Vol 4 27

Oh. My. Stars.

—Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 24

We are Gods, Web-Slinger.

—Amazing Spider-Man Vol 4 1.3

So sorry to intrude but... I really need your help.

—All-New X-Men Vol 2 8

Our very presence here, three-thousand-some-odd years in the past, could have irreparable consequences to the timeline. Imagine the butterfly effect extrapolated out over thousand of years. Every step we take puts the future at risk. And you're talking about snuffing out one of the most profoundly influential villains in all of human history. That's the biggest butterfly effect of them all.

—All-New X-Men Vol 2 11

I solved time travel the day Evan and I returned from Egypt. I've been home.

—All-New X-Men Vol 2 15

I've always wondered why people choose to cut their palms for blood rituals like this. Lots of nerve endings. Hand wounds often nag and heal slowly. Turns out palm blood is required. The grimoire asks for it by name.

—All-New X-Men Vol 2 16

He wasn't fighting you, you know.

—Civil War II Vol 1 8

Bobby answered the call just like we all would. No mystery there.

—All-New X-Men Vol 2 17

Far be it from me to interrupt this painfully awkward moment... but if the two of you are stepping out -- count me in!

—X-Men: Blue Vol 1 6

Emma's controlling Scott... possibly Xorn as well!

—X-Men: Blue Vol 1 9

I was wrong to bring you here, Hank.

—X-Men: Blue Vol 1 35

I don't think these things are different things.

—Uncanny X-Men Vol 5 2

I like to think of X-Force as a dark orchestra. Some of us prefer the spotlight of the melody... like a shrill, brilliant violin... or a fun, emotive sax. While others harmonize in the background. Some serve a necessary function by mindlessly beating drums and crashing cymbals... pleasuring in their violent rhythm. And there are those who are as versatile as a cello... able to play melody or harmony, to swing between the brightest and darkest notes. And I... I am their conductor.

—X-Force Vol 6 6

Whoa, indeed. I know that when you heard what was happening over here that you wanted to come through... but I want you to be careful. This is no place for a reckless young man... not even one who has the mutant power to explode.

—Empyre: X-Men Vol 1 4

I'm terribly sorry to interrupt the pastoral beauty of this moment. But we have a few questions we're hoping you can answer, Colossus. About the recent security breach. About your national -- and familial -- connections.

—X-Force Vol 6 12

But, Logan... Jean's not asking the hard questions. She's simply eating information. It's the difference between being a critic and a consumer, you see. I'm the one who asks the hard questions.

—X-Force Vol 6 15

What are you implying? That there's another Man-Thing?

—X-Force Vol 6 21

Kudzu was introduced to America as an ornamental in 1876. It grows a foot a day and swiftly outcompeted native plants. Within years, it became dominant in the South and Midwest and led to species extinction. We need to address how to deal with this invasive species that seems intent on choking us out. Together, they'll access what I guess you could call a floronic network unavailable to the rest of us. Roots. Mycorrhizae. Spores. Pollen. Wild grasses in ditches, flowers on trellises, potted plants on windowsills. All of it. Together... they hope to find the root source.

—X-Force Vol 6 22

I'm simply pointing out a truth most would prefer not to acknowledge. In the end... force wins. Stabbing $#&% is what saves the world.

—X Deaths of Wolverine Vol 1 5

You dare question my intentions? Tell me, before Krakoa, when was the last time you felt truly safe walking out there? For some of us, this is the only shot we have at Heaven. And yes. I will do anything to defend it.

—X-Force Annual Vol 3 1

X-Force must be uncharitable and cruel because that's our job. Anything and everything goes to protect Krakoa.

—X-Force Vol 6 27

There's no point in being modest. The island is under attack, and I'm the centerpiece of our defense efforts. I'm irreplaceable.

—X-Force Vol 6 32

How much would it cost to be the one... the one who killed Wolverine?

—Wolverine Vol 7 26

You know I really am sorry *munch* about how things turned out. But it's for the best. Know that everything is going according to plan. And you're doing excellent work. Not that that's surprising in the least. You're our very best weapon after all.

—Wolverine Vol 7 27

I have a plan. A plan that will help us locate--and ultimately destroy--their farm.

—X-Force Vol 6 36

I knew this time would come. Now it is here. And everything is about to change.

—Wolverine Vol 7 30

I assume you can all hear me. But I've dampened your mics, because this will be a one-way conversation. You see, I've heard enough from you. And I've had enough of you. You believe the Pointe is gone because I stole it. But that is incorrect. If you think of this in human terms, you just arrived at the office to discover the locks have been changed and your desk has been emptied and boxed up. You have been terminated. This will be my last transmission. You would be wise not to seek me out. Or attempt to interfere in any way with my work. The work that needs to be done. Without meddling or compromise. It would be easier for me to not do any of this. But I feel I must--for the good of all mutantkind. X-Force is no more. I will call this new program... Weapons of X.

—Wolverine Vol 7 31

It's just that people are always saying things like that. Someone leaves a party after acting like a fool, making a lewd comment or knocking over a vase or taking a swing at the host... and the friend will say, "He's not like that." Oh? Isn't he? Or... maybe he is. Maybe the pressure of so-called civilized norms is the only thing keeping him in check... and--once that restraint is released--the true spirit of a man or mutant reveals itself. Sometimes that spirit is-mmfff smak-unflattering. Sometimes it's raw. But sometimes it's brave and true, even if unpopular. Maybe this... is who I've always been.

—Wolverine Vol 7 34

It's good to see you're all alive. For now.

—X-Force Vol 6 47

Oh, my stars and garters!

—Henry McCoy (Earth-616)

You've had ten children, and five of them manifested mutant powers when they hit puberty. You're something unusual. Something -- miraculous. And miracles are what we're looking for right now.

—Lucinda Guthrie (Earth-616)

Mutantkind's greatest enemy? Canada, apparently.

—Neverland

This is either damage from the current alien attack or old damage from the last alien attack. Being attacked by aliens is basically S.W.O.R.D.'s mission statement.

—Peak VII

Builder

Yo...you...you don't understand... This...this...means...everything dies.

Thor

You first.^[1]

—Infinity (Event)

Caretaker

Unforeseen complications, Builders...this world resists.

Builders

They all resist.^[2]

—Infinity (Event)

Captain America

Understand, people, this is real, it's headed our way, and it's scary enough to make space empires scramble. Ex Nihilo. These people--your Builders--created you and your sister, Abyss. What chance would we have if they make it to Earth?

Ex Nihilo

Captain, the measuring of probabilities is--

Abyss

The answer is none. If that fleet reaches this system, the next step in human evolution is extinction.^[2]

—Infinity (Event)

Kl'rt

I have received grave news, fellow warlords...the invaders have claimed another world. Two hundred billion souls...gone.

My'rl

And did you summon us here to prattle while Skrull warriors die...or are we going to meet them in battle?

Kl'rt

You think I run from glory, My'rl? If there was glory to be had, I would surely beat you there. No, you are here because...there is going to be a gathering. A war council on Nomad. Word has spread of this invading fleet. I wish for us to go in the hopes we can...prevent what looks inevitable.^[3]

—Infinity (Event)

Gladiator

NO!!

Supreme Intelligence

Probablility of survival approaching zero if we do not withdraw from this theater. We've lost a third of the fleet in under a minute.

Ronan

We have to retreat. Now! Run! RUN! RUN!^[3]

—Infinity (Event)

Jerran Ko

Well, when I die, I will be gone forever. And it seems in death, our masters see fit to make a mockery of all that I have done and all I am.

Aleph

Declarative: Triumph before all, Jerran Ko. Declarative: Complete your maker's commands...in defeat, at the very least, we wound.

Jerran Ko

I remember a time when this symbol on my chest meant life. Record my words for the code, Aleph...tell everyone that Jerran Ko said those were better days...and that they are now long gone.^[4]

—Infinity (Event)

Builders

What we want is the preservation of our universe. What we want...is to destroy a world. Earth.

J'son

What? I knew it! All of this...over a useless, backwater...I...I could give you Earth. I believe I could do that if it means you would leave my empire alone. I would do that if it would stop this war now.

Builders

Oh, you insignificant creature...this is not a war, it is a cleansing...^[5]

—Infinity (Event)

Ex Nihila

You must leave as well, Creator...this ship will not last long against the great weapons.

Builders

We have been stung here today...it is an insult I will not forget. Scuttle the ship. Then join the third wing in the battle. Make your end mean something, Ex Nihila.^[6]

—Infinity (Event)

Ronan

There are hundreds of Council ships in orbit around Hala. Ships that defeated your fleet. Ships contained by great warriors who certainly see the military significance of this empire and are not afraid to act on it. Why do you stay?

Builder

Because this is my world. Because you bent the knee. And you do not realize your position...Supremor. Tell your Accuser how beaten we Builders are. Tell him what happens next.

Supreme Intelligence

Based on observed behavior...99.7% chance that the scattered Builder fleet reassembles. Reassembly a certainty, there is a 72.5% chance that the Builder fleet continues on along their previously projected path. There is a 27% chance that the Builder fleet returns to deal with the remaining Council armada. Such a conflict would result in Council defeat in 83.2% of simulated battles.

Builder

Yes. And under all of these scenarios, what is the projected percentage that you Kree remain under Builder control?

Supreme Intelligence

Assuming natural attrition of insignificant worlds and prioritizing the significant world groups...70.1%.

Builder

I stay...because this world is mine.^[7]

—Infinity (Event)

Annihilus

Hssssssss!

Gladiator

The drones are attacking one another. I can't believe...that was...that was it...our last gambit. Our final effort. All we had left. Mentor, summon my son. Rally all the Super- and Subguardians.

Mentor

Majestor--

Gladiator

No. Not Majestor...I will die as I lived. As Gladiator, praetor of the Imperial Guard. This is the end, my friend...unless saved by some unforeseen miracle, we die...and I would face it head-on.^[8]

—Infinity (Event)

Captain Universe

Why? When did death become your way, my child...? Even when you stopped worshipping me, you revered life...why this?

Builders

Because the universe is dying.

Captain Universe

I know.

Builders

All the universes are dying, and there's only one way to save this one. Destroy the axis point...and perhaps save them all.^[8]

—Infinity (Event)

Builders

You must know by now that the Earth is the axis point for the death of everything...you must know what conclusion must be drawn from this fact.

Reed Richards

No, that's not true. The cascading effect of other dying universes is increasing. The rate of all things dying. Killing a single Earth is like comparing a pebble to a planet. You're thinking too small.

Builders

Oh, I agree. Incrementalism is a waste a time, but ask yourself...what if we killed all the Earths? All of them. We believe that would save everything, and if not save it, then at least prolong it, perserving a more natural end to our existence.^[9]

—Infinity (Event)

Oracle

Take a look.

Captain America

Whose idea was that? Why would--

Oracle

Why? This war was not won by an empire, ours or any other. It was not won by the Council, who broke. No, every time the battle turned, it was you Earthers, you...Avengers...that won the day. You held at the Behemoth...you turned the World Killers on their masters over Hala...and then you broke the enemy with a single man and a hammer that was thrown around the sun...we rallied to you, good Captain. We rallied to your standard...Dockrum VII is free again...and it is an Avengers World.^[10]

—Infinity (Event)

Black Swan

And just how did you solve this incursion, Reed Richards?

Iron Man

We didn't have to.

Black Swan

You're making my point for me.

Beast

Actually, it's interesting...they were a multi-universal, ancient civilization called Builders. Who it seemed--

Black Swan

HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! The Builders, you say...how very ominous. That is indeed some threat.

Iron Man

I don't think you understand what we're talking about. Perhaps you don't know what all we--and our friends--have just been through.

Black Swan

System-creating, universal migrants. Creators and Engineers...more than capable of destroying worlds. Did you not find it strange that they were limited in how they moved throughout your universe? That a race so advanced was limited to traveling in what was essentially a straight line? It's because their vessels were not built for traveling great distances outside of their Superflow. See...they invested heavily in their conduit, and now without it, they are trapped and unable to elude Rabum Alal--just like you, just like me. Tell me, Stark...do I sound like I know what I am talking about? [...] Are you aware that these Builders are confined to under five thousand realities? Who worries about a kalbi when facing an idimmu? [... "Who worries about a dog when facing a demon?" ...]

Reed Richards

I understand. There are worse things out there.

Black Swan

No, you haven't been listening at all...there are worse things coming. You fret Builders...but what if it had been the Mapmakers? Not just their Sidera Maris...but the masters themselves? What if it had been the Black Priests? And what if it had been the Sinnu Sarrum? The Ivory Kings? What would you have done? All of this...like children...playing. What you just went through...it only had the appearance of finality--it lacked the effect. That ends now.^[11]

—Infinity (Event)

Beast

"Delgado"? There was a Major Harry Delgado commanding the S.H.I.E.L.D. pursuit force that was captured by Magneto. Coincidence?

Wolverine

Different guy, same name. Or maybe the major was a sleeper, workin' with the clowns he was supposedly chasin'? Or maybe he switched sides. Or maybe somebody made him. However the man came here, Beast, he means business. We can figure out the backstory after we take him down.

—Marco Delgado (Earth-616)

Iceman

Women... bless their gentle souls... are so understanding! Full of sugar and spice and everything nice!

Beast

And forgiving, too! Especially forgiving!!!

—X-Men Vol 1 47

Iceman

I see that blow on the head didn't damage your talent for big words! I was kind of hoping it had!

Beast

Big words? I haven't the slightest glimmer of comprehension as to the significance of that obtuse reference!

—X-Men Vol 1 53

Iceman

C'mon, Hank, do you have to watch that opera?

Hank

Shhh -- Kiri Te Kanawa's about to make her entrance. I thought you were into music, Bobby.

Iceman

I am -- but the Stevie Ray Vaughn concert starts any minute on MTV!

Hank

Fear not -- I'm taping that -- And the Ansel Adams tribute for Warren AND "Dynasty" for Dolly and Cloud -- Isn't modern science wonderful?

—New Defenders Vol 1 141

Henry Pym

Good job, Henry.

Hank

Couldn't have done it without you, Henry.

Henry Pym

We are rather impressive, aren't we?

—Avengers Vol 1 335

Cyclops

That, sir, is no way to treat a lady.

Gambit

Or Rogue neither, hein?

Beast

My, o, my, talk about a man who loves to live dangerously.

—X-Men Vol 2 1

Cyclops

I believe you people have something that belongs to us?

Gambit

Short li'l fella.

Jubilee

All adamantium and attitude. He's one of a kind. We'd like him back.

Beast

And don't forget our resident psionic Japanese-by-way-of-Britain ninja warrior. You can imagine how hard they are to replace!

—X-Men Vol 2 7

Jubilee

Show off! I was just about to do that!

Beast (McCoy)

I am certain.

—X-Men Vol 2 9

Wolverine

The X-Men are here, and we're down to kick butt and take names!

Hank

I wouldn't put it so crudely!

Wolverine

Okay, Beastie – let us pummel these louts severely about the head and shoulders!

—Cable Vol 1 16

Hank

What brings you to this neck of the woods, my once-feathered pal?

Archangel

Life. Women. Happiness. And the current lack of any of the above.

—Cable Vol 1 20

Hank

You don't have to be so protective.

Iceman

Sure, I do. You're curious, Hank. I'm the man in the yellow hat. That's our relationship.

—X-Men Unlimited Vol 1 10

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?

—X-Men Vol 2 157

Deadpool

Once and X-Man, always an X-Man!

Hank

You're not an X-Man.

Deadpool

Us muties got to stick together, right? Sometimes literally. I ever tell you 'bout the time I ran into Tar Baby in the sewer system?

Hank

You're not a mutant, either.

—Cable & Deadpool Vol 1 9

Wolverine (to Hisako)

Quit whining, kid. I got eaten today.

Hank

Yes, about that...

Wolverine

Forget it.

Hank

I can't begin to apologize.

Wolverine

Pfft! That's what friends are for.

Hank

I'm fairly certain it's not.

—Astonishing X-Men Vol 3 18

Bobby

Nah, you're my main nerd.

Hank

Is this what the cool kids do?

Bobby

I have no idea what cool kids do.

—X-Men First Class Vol 2 4

Hank

As the guardian or whatever of that Nexus, the Man-Thing hates fear.

Jean

You know what, Hank? So do I.

—X-Men First Class Vol 2 8

Marvel Girl

...getting hard to breathe...

Beast

We can rip the disks off our clothes, but there's no surviving this fall!

Angel

Well that's easy, Hank. Don't fall.

—X-Men First Class Vol 2 15

Armor

This isn't right. I'm a proper X-Man. I bet you wouldn't pick Logan up like this.

Beast

Hisako, I couldn't pick up Logan without doing myself a near-fatal mischief.

Armor

It's the beer.

—Astonishing X-Men Vol 3 29

Beast

It's him it's him it's him I felt it it was so powerful I felt I know he's back now he's back

Ant-Man

Heyheyheyhey. Slow down and make some sense, would ya? Who's back?

Onslaught

Me. I am back.

Beast

...Onslaught.

—Onslaught Unleashed Vol 1 1

Beast

So...you're not fighting to stay here, you're staying here to fight.

Lenny Gary

No, no -- you've still got it all wrong, my friend... To stay here is to fight.

—Secret Avengers Vol 1 13

Beast

I’m praying to God that you--that you are under someone else’s control. Is it--is it the Enchantress? Is this even something that you could tell me? A hint? Anything? Please, Simon… I want to help you.

Wonder Man

I love you, Hank. You are, and will always be, my best friend.

—Avengers Annual Vol 2 1

Hank McCoy

Kyle and Jean-Paul... Do you vow to give yourselves to each other, with love and compassion, and trust?

Kyle Jinadu

I do.

Jean-Paul Beaubier

I do.

Hank McCoy

Then I pronounce you husbands, and partners for life. You may kiss the groom. Both of you.

—Astonishing X-Men Vol 3 51

Past Beast

What was that?

Wolverine

I'll do the talking. Shut up.

Past Cyclops

Who is out there?

Wolverine

Well... "your brother and his... Uncanny Avengers

Captain America

Come out with your hands up! You are in a lot of trouble! Don't make it any worse for yourselves!

—All-New X-Men Vol 1 11

Beast

My dear friend--I'm so sorry. Your healing factor is gone. I've consulted with Tony Stark, Henry Pym, Santi Sardina... They all agree. The "Empty" bullet in your shoulder contained a dose of this... I can hardly say it... "Intelligent Virus from the Microverse"... I guess that was it's backup plan. To switch off your ability to heal. I think it then tried to take you over. But your power... I imagine it put up a hell of a fight. It burned the virus out of your system. The Good news: I've managed to synthesize a drug to counteract the Adamantium poisoning. But the bad news... you're vulnerable to injury--and you'll age at a normal rate--

Wolverine

Okay, got it. Thanks.

—Wolverine Vol 5 7

Iceman

I just like talking to the talking raccoon. It makes me feel like a Disney princess.

Beast

We're here because... princess?

Iceman

Stop! Stop your lies right now! You-- you're filling my head with all of these-- these images, these impressions! All of these roads not taken... you're not convincing me that I've done anything wrong. I can't be held responsible for things I have no control over! This collage of all the good things that won't happen because of something I've done. I want my friends to have love. I want my friends to rise above their stature and become the mutant--

I came here to tell you... because of you none of these things will ever happen. A myriad of realities you have destroyed, Dr. McCoy. You have guaranteed that the happiness and love and respect and adventure that you crave for your friends may never happen.
