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

—Ms. Marvel Vol 3 1

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.

—Ms. Marvel Vol 3 2

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.

—Ms. Marvel Vol 3 3

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.

—Ms. Marvel Vol 3 4

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.

—Ms. Marvel Vol 3 10

Everybody stop! This guy is not in high school!

—Ms. Marvel Vol 3 12

You know those days you sometimes have? The days that seem totally ordinary when you wake up, but by the time you go to sleep that night, your whole life is divided into before that day and after that day? This is one of those days.

—Ms. Marvel Vol 3 13

All this time I thought I was alone... that I was the only nerdy Pakistani-American-slash-Inhuman in the entire universe. And then suddenly... I wasn't.

—Ms. Marvel Vol 3 14

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.

—Ms. Marvel Vol 3 15

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.

—Ms. Marvel Vol 3 16

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 --

—Ms. Marvel Vol 3 17

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.

—Ms. Marvel Vol 4 1

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!

—All-New, All-Different Avengers Vol 1 5

I'm here! I'm fine! I'm okay! I can explain!

—Ms. Marvel Vol 4 5

I have been waiting for this moment. I will do what you ask. With honor, commitment, courage, and all the other stuff.

—Ms. Marvel Vol 4 8

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 --

—Ms. Marvel Vol 4 9

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.

—All-New, All-Different Avengers Annual Vol 1 1

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

—Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur Vol 1 10

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.

—Ms. Marvel Vol 4 10

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.

—Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur Vol 1 11

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

—Ms. Marvel Vol 4 11

Help us win the hard way -- the right way -- not with hate, not with retribution, but with wisdom and hope. Help us become champions.

—Champions Vol 2 1

And then there's the fact that you can't really run away from bad stuff. You just trade the bad stuff of one place for the bad stuff of a different place.

—Ms. Marvel Vol 4 12

So I've gotta convince people to choose between an incumbent nobody likes and a fringe candidate working for a secret society of evildoers?!

—Ms. Marvel Vol 4 13

Okay! What was that battle cry again, Hulk? "Go for Champions!"

—Champions Vol 2 4

Are you stalking one of your guildmates from World of Battlecraft?

—Ms. Marvel Vol 4 14

I am literally a child who can't even vote and even I know that's incredibly irresponsible! Take him home to your... your Star-Cave or whatever! I have to go round up the guys who got away! Because of my super-powers!

—Star-Lord Vol 2 2

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.

—Champions Vol 2 5

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

—Ms. Marvel Vol 4 15

You want to know? You want to know what scares me most right now? Losing what we've built! Losing the Champions! Losing a family! Losing all those people who look up to us! That's what I'm scared of!

—Champions Vol 2 7

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.

—Ms. Marvel Vol 4 17

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!

—Secret Warriors Vol 2 1

How could you take her side?!

—Ms. Marvel Vol 4 21

Jersey City! We've had a bad few days. I know that. And I know a lot of people aren't happy with me right now. But no matter how angry you are... nobody is above the law.

'cause getting your rights isn't about becoming someone else. It's about not having to ask permission to be who you already are.

—Ms. Marvel Vol 4 24

If you're so convinced we need more firepower, Spider-Boy, the potential draft pool is pretty big. Who else you got?

—Champions Vol 2 16

I... I have something important to tell you guys. I am Ms. Marvel.

—Ms. Marvel Vol 4 31

Look, this isn't New York. We don't do cosmic battles every five minutes, okay? We have standards.

—Ms. Marvel Vol 4 33

Understanding our limitations is important. Once you accept those, you've got a simple choice to make... despair or hope. Give up or stand up.

—Champions Vol 2 24

Strange things are afoot at the Circle Q.

—Ms. Marvel Vol 4 34

Who was that strange guy I saw when Singularity was pulling me through the timestream?

—Ms. Marvel Vol 4 36

Champions charge!

—Champions Vol 3 1

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.

—Ms. Marvel Vol 4 37

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.

—Ms. Marvel Vol 4 38

You told him, Ammi! You betrayed me!

—Magnificent Ms. Marvel Vol 1 1

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

—Marvel Rising Vol 2 1

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

—Ms. Marvel Team-Up Vol 1 1

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

—Magnificent Ms. Marvel Vol 1 2

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

—Marvel Team-Up Vol 4 2

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.

—Champions Vol 3 6

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

—Magnificent Ms. Marvel Vol 1 4

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.

—Magnificent Ms. Marvel Vol 1 5

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

—Marvel Team-Up Vol 4 4

What if this is a training camp for super villains?

—Fearless Vol 1 2

Just because Colonel Yo-Gurt did you wrong, you want to hurt an entire planet's population?

—Marvel Team-Up Vol 4 6

I've got life and death things I need to deal with, you jerk! I don't have time to -- you're really gonna make me do this, huh?

—Magnificent Ms. Marvel Vol 1 10

We all fight against the worst versions of ourselves.

—Magnificent Ms. Marvel Vol 1 11

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

—Captain Marvel Vol 10 17

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

—Magnificent Ms. Marvel Vol 1 14

Someone sold us out.

—Champions Vol 4 1

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.

—Champions Vol 4 6

No longer using us to prop up your lies! I want every politician and parent watching this to understand that this law 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!

—Champions Vol 4 9

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.

—Ms. Marvel: Stretched Thin Vol 1 1

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)

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.

—Champions (Earth-616)

Wolverine

I did have a "healing factor." I don't anymore.

Ms. Marvel

Oh my God. You're actually hurt.

Wolverine

I'm actually hurt.

Ms. Marvel

So like... now you're just a short, angry man who punches stuff?

Wolverine

I knew I liked you the minute I saw you.

—Ms. Marvel Vol 3 6

Ms. Marvel

Uh... You don't scare us! We can still take you! Right, Spidey? This is your specialty, right...?

Doctor Minerva

Hrrraaarrrr!

Spider-Man

What, in over my head and totally outclassed? Yeah. It kind of is...

—Amazing Spider-Man Vol 3 7

Ms. Marvel

Avengers assemble!

Spider-Man

Are we allowed to say that yet?

Ms. Marvel

I've been waiting all my life!

—Free Comic Book Day Vol 2015 Avengers

Mosaic

The Terrigen Cloud's going to... expand or something. In just a few days, the whole planet will be poison to the mutants. They attacked us now because they didn't think they had a choice. Unless they destroy that cloud... they leave the Earth or they die.

Ms. Marvel

You guys... who are the good guys?

—IVX Vol 1 4
