Kamala Khan (Earth-616)/Quotes

Quotes by Kamala Khan (Earth-616)

We see it all around us more and more every day -- people with power punching down. Taking lives when they don't have to. Meeting unarmed perps, even unarmed kids, with lethal firepower. That's the world we're inheriting, where violence does all the talking. But we can be better than that. We have to start enforcing justice without unjust force. What happened here today was sickening. And stuff as bad -- worse -- happens every day in this world. The strong abuse the weak -- who have to worry more all the time about who they can trust and who they can't. You want that to change? Us, too. We're in a war for a better tomorrow. Join us. Help us to not take the easy road, and I promise we'll fight every fight they can throw at us. Help us win the hard way -- the right way -- not with hate, not with retribution, but with wisdom and hope. Help us become champions.

Fabulous. Now I'm in trouble, too. This has to have happened for a reason. I saved one life, does it stop there or do I go on? Maybe this is what I've been waiting for. Maybe I'm finally part of something... bigger.

--Kamala Khan (Earth-616)

I want to be beautiful and awesome and butt-kicking and less complicated. I want to be you.

--Kamala Khan (Earth-616)

Wait a minute. I have super-powers. I saved somebody's life on Friday. I am 911! But -- everybody's expecting Ms. Marvel. Ms. Marvel from the news. With the hair and the spandex and the Avengers swag. Not a sixteen-year-old brown girl with a 9 pm curfew. Too late for second thoughts. Don't worry, Bruno... help is on the way.

--Kamala Khan (Earth-616)

Ammi and Abu taught me to always think about the greater good. To defend people who can't defend themselves, even if it means putting yourself at risk. I wish they could see that that's exactly what I'm trying to do.

--Kamala Khan (Earth-616)

Yeah, we've gotta do something drastic. But not this. This is not saving the world. This is admitting the world is over. This is saying our generation will never matter. But we have to matter. If we don't, there is no future worth saving.

--Kamala Khan (Earth-616)

Everybody stop! This guy is not in high school!

--Kamala Khan (Earth-616)

--Kamala Khan (Earth-616)

--Kamala Khan (Earth-616)

I've faced giant robots, bird-men, Viking dudes... never a broken heart. I don't know how to fight this feeling. I'm just glad I don't have to fight it alone.

--Kamala Khan (Earth-616)

I was just in Manhattan, There's -- there's a planet heading straight for Earth. You can see it from downtown. There are a lot of really scared people coming across the river. We've gotta prepare.

I didn't mean to camp out on your alias -- a lot of really weird things happened right around the time I got my powers, and it just sorta seemed like fate --

--Kamala Khan (Earth-616)

School, Avengers, my regular bi-weekly dungeon group in Ancient Scrolls Online... it's all great, but it's what Abu would call a problem of plenty. And the thing about a problem of plenty is... it's still a problem.

--Kamala Khan (Earth-616)

Something's wrong with the Vision and he's lying about me and they wouldn't listen and they threw me out and -- and -- and you can be happy now!

The Cadets and I went to bust some kid who was planning to melt his own high school and I was totally cool with it but then I found out this kid is my friend and he hasn't actually done anything wrong yet and now I don't know what to do --

--Kamala Khan (Earth-616)

Okay. It's okay. The admin will take care of it. I definitely should not read every single one of those fanfics. It'll just drive me crazy.

--Kamala Khan (Earth-616)

Inhuman is what you were always meant to be, Lunella. It's what you are. You should embrace it.

--Kamala Khan (Earth-616)

I know you made me responsible for this team, but I'm also responsible for this city. I have to do what's right for JC. We've gotta disband the Cadets.

--Kamala Khan (Earth-616)

Hey... so... Lunella... I'm leaving you this message. I know you been through a lot. But I need you to hang in there. The world needs you... I know that the change is hard for you. But growing up is hard for everyone. You've been given gifts, Lunella. Even when being an Inhuman feels like a curse... have faith that there's a purpose. And one day soon, all your awesome parts will learn to work together... and if you ever need me, just call. I'll be there for you.

--Kamala Khan (Earth-616)

I didn't want this... but I have to protect the people of my city. Even... even if it means protecting them from you.

Gwenpool, I don't know where you think you're from. Or what you think you've read -- but corruption and injustice and racism can infiltrate authority structures all by themselves, without a super villain's help.

You're just a person with a computer and too much free time. You can't scare me with this Mr. Robot stuff.

--Kamala Khan (Earth-616)

Y-you're wrong about people. Most of them aren't awful. Most of them are just waiting for a chance to do the right thing.

Between that dome going down over Manhattan, all those heroes being trapped in space, and the the whole country being taken over by Hydra, sorry if we're a little cautious when people ask to meet us in the woods!

How could you take her side?!

This is one of my biggest fears. The fear that while I was off being a hero, I was actually paying attention to the wrong things... and something quieter but worse was happening while I thought I was saving the world.

--Kamala Khan (Earth-616)

If I've learned one thing these past few years, it's that there's always another level to beat. But if you hold on to what's important... you won't have to beat it alone.

You told him, Ammi! You betrayed me!

Come on, it's not that bad. We are on a private campus tour with the Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, after all!

--Kamala Khan (Earth-616)

That... sounds kinda scary. And morally questionable?

--Kamala Khan (Earth-616)

My best guess... is that that -- is the final boss battle.

--Kamala Khan (Earth-616)

Well, look at it this way. If we both ruined each other's lives, at least we're even.

--Kamala Khan (Earth-616)

We don't want to fight, but if that's what it takes to stop you from hurting innocent people, then that's what we'll do.

--Kamala Khan (Earth-616)

Sorry, I'm not good at tiptoeing when people are screaming for help!

--Kamala Khan (Earth-616)

There are times when this life spent protecting what matters makes you feel completely alone. But when you have the trust of those you love -- when you know they're rooting for you as you face the unknown... then you're not alone.

--Kamala Khan (Earth-616)

So they stole the same spear that killed your mom --

We all fight against the worst versions of ourselves.

--Kamala Khan (Earth-616)

Well... what if I can come up with something better than poker?

--Kamala Khan (Earth-616)

Thanks for being here, but you can go. These people took my name. There's something I have to do. Alone.

--Kamala Khan (Earth-616)

Someone sold us out.

--Kamala Khan (Earth-616)

We know they haven't changed. No matter what face they put on it, they don't care about us. All Roxxon wants is to use "Kamala's Law" to scare kids into silence. To never speak up against their policies because morals are bad for business. Whatever they're planning with this app and the whole image rehab thing? It's all to keep the law in the books. And they're ready to fight dirty to do it. I know this is going to sound wild coming from me, guys, but maybe, just maybe... ...we've got to fight just as dirty. We fought fair and they made us outlaws anyway, thinking it would weaken us. But they made a huge mistake. They brought the fight to us. To a teenager's ultimate battleground-- the internet. If they wanted to force us to play dirty? They're in for the fight of their lives.

--Kamala Khan (Earth-616)

No longer using us to prop up your lies! I want every politician and parent watching this to understand that this la doesn't help us. It never helped me or any other teen who is watching. And if you want change, that is the message you'll keep sharing!

--Kamala Khan (Earth-616)

You know, you almost got me. You almost made me believe what you said about me, that I was a failure somehow. You made me feel small. But I realize now you're not doing this because I'm weak. You're doing this because you are. And I'm never going to let anyone make me feel that way again.
