My name is Professor Charles Xavier... and I would like to publically distance myself, and the work of my school, the Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters in any of it permutations, from this quite frankly insane course of action Mr. Summers has taken.

I'm not sorry I sent you to hell, you know. I hope it was awful. I hope you suffered. I hope it broke something inside you that can never be fixed. It makes me happy to think that.

—Wolverine Vol 4 9

Well, that worked out better than I could've hoped. I wanted to see if my powers were strong enough to fool even Logan's senses, to test them up close and personal... I'd say I've done that.

The X-Men? Oh, I don't. It's a fisk. These X-Men, they're going to be chasing each other's tails so fast on this that they won't be able to see anything else.

—All-New X-Men Vol 1 7

Kurt's gone. But I did it. No one died. No blood on his hands. I'll find him wherever he is. I'm not giving up. I'm not letting go. Because my son would never give up on me.

I can see why Magneto thinks so highly of you. I bet you're curious. I bet you'd love to know... whether I was sent to watch you... to watch out for you... or to kill you.

The game's afoot, Irene. Our game.

—Immortal X-Men Vol 1 8

I have lived for years as sapiens males. Years more as females. Do you know what I have observed? They’re all as awful as each other. The only true binary division lies not between genders or sexes or sexualities. It lies between those who are allowed to be who they wish — and those denied that right. I am Raven Darkhölme. Whatever else I am — or am not — whether it be for a lifetime or a singe night — it is for nobody but me to say.

—X-Men Blue: Origins Vol 1 1

I am everywhere. I am nowhere. A shadow, unchained and unleashed. The world made me this way, so let the world suffer. Whoever its masters may be.

—Raven Darkhölme (Earth-616)

Sabretooth	Hey -- I thought that nanotechnic inhibitor that was implanted in your neck -- prevented you from assuming any of the X-Men's identities for longer than ten seconds!
Mystique (as Angel)	It does. But when Worthington was altered by Apocalypse and transformed into Archangel, the original Angel ceased to exist. Lucky for me the implant is only encoded with his present genetic make-up.
Sabretooth	You don't miss a trick, do you, darlin'?
Mystique	I try not to. It's a matter of survival.
