Quote1 You're not going to kill me Kaine... you won't even hurt me. You can't. Not if all you've told me is true. If you are a clone of Peter Parker's... then deep down, you're as good as he is. Being a clone doesn't make you... or my husband... any less of a man. You're alive! Where and how you were born into this world just doesn't matter. Peter...my Peter... has always done the right thing... has defined himself by his actions.. not by whether he was born or cloned. He has lived a valuable life for the past five years I've known him. And now I'm carrying his child... I'm not going to let him throw away the life we've shared together. Peter is a person... and so are you! Prove yourself, Kaine! By your actions! Don't let Ben be killed! Don't let the Jackal kill anymore! Do what Peter would do! Do the right thing. You have the Power... now accept the responsibility! Quote2

But sometimes I want to protect HIM, and I can't do that when he's too busy protecting ME. When he's keeping secrets. But I have to respect his secrets. Because that's what I do. I keep people's secrets. Quote2

Quote1 I just wanted to say how proud I am of you, Quentin. Truly. Quote2
Amazing Mary Jane Vol 1 5
Quote1 I'd like to report a murder. Is that what I'm supposed to say? Quote2
Amazing Mary Jane Vol 1 6
Quote1 Let's be clear here, Norman. The only reason I am doing any of this is because I know Peter is in danger. I can feel that in my bones--and Harry, despite whatever he's done--is my friend. I want to help him. Because I know whatever he's become, it's because of what you did to him. What you did to all of us, you walking poison. So don't think even a single thing I do here constitutes forgiveness, or even tolerance, of you. I don't buy this act for a second. You know why? Peter has all these... villains. Most of them are just ignored, angry failure-to-launch types who put on a costume to make the world think they're something scarier than they are. But not you, Norman. Like I said, I'm an actress. I know when someone's putting on a show. You've always been the monster. The goblin is the real you. That skin is just how you hide in plain sight. Quote2
Amazing Spider-Man Vol 5 54.LR

Quote1 Dammit, Peter, this isn't about you! It's about responsibility. I thought you'd understand that. Quote2
Amazing Spider-Man Vol 6 9
Quote1 Time to show these power-hungry megalomaniacs who they're dealing with. Quote2
Jackpot Vol 1 1
Quote1 Felicia said to leave it alone... but I know there's something she's not telling me. Because while fear is a monster that forces most people into hiding, it's always motivated Felicia. Pushed her to run even faster. Fight back harder. So if this blackmailer's got Felicia hiding under her bed... it can't be because she's worried about her own safety. It's because there's someone else in the picture. Someone she's trying to protect. Quote2
Jackpot and Black Cat Vol 1 1
Quote1 You deserve better. You deserve someone who looks after you. The way you've always looked out for everyone else. For me. There are people out there who will put you first. We're here, choosing you. All you've got to do is be brave enough to choose us back. Quote2
Jackpot and Black Cat Vol 1 3

"Face it, Tiger... you just hit the jackpot!"—her first words to Peter Parker, initially appearing in Amazing Spider-Man (Vol. 1) #42 (November 1966), are by far her most famous words, and indeed, one of the most famous quotations in the Marvel Universe, duplicated in nearly every continuity in which Mary Jane appears. A non-exhaustive list of comic books the quotation appears in:

  • Amazing Spider-Man: Parallel Lives (January 1990)
  • Deadpool #6 (June 1997) — Typhoid Mary parodies the quotation
  • Spider-Man: Blue #2 (August 2002)
  • Ultimate Spider-Man #13 (November 2001)
  • Spider-Girl #1: delivered by MJ's and Peter's daughter May (aka Spider-Girl) in the alternate MC2 universe
