Jeffrey Mace (Earth-616)/Quotes

Defenders of democracy! You have seen another attempt of brute force to seize our lives, freedom, and country! There yellow-livered gangsters could not win, of course --but we must forever be on our guard against anyone who would steal our liberty! Long live liberty!

So even you monkeys have heard of me,eh?

Let's go Legion!

I wanted to finish this thing... for both Captain Americas!!

Yeah Cap, believe it or not, I really do feel ---- at peace!

Betsy and I didn't go looking for Glendale -- it's more like Glendale found us. The instant I saw it, I knew this was the perfect place to make our home. Some might find its new subdivisions and streets a bit sparse, but I see a blank canvas that we can paint to our liking. I see a frontier -- one that can be tamed with picket fences and newly planted rosebushes, true...but that's about all the excitement we want in our lives right now. I see the chance to build something better, something brighter, something we can call our own. I see the American Dream.

There's only one Captain America. I can never be him. But I can carry on in his name -- with his name. That I can do. That would be an honor.
