Richard Jones (Earth-616)/Quotes

It's too much for me! I've got the most powerful thing in the world under my control, and I don't know what to do with it! But one thing I do know... I don't dare go to sleep again, unless he's locked up back in his dungeon!

What'll we do? You can't lick a whole platoon of these cats! Look at the hardware they're carryin', Hulk!

Gosh, Iron Man -- if you won't level with them, how can the Avengers help?

Something's happening to me -- like I was changing -- like I wasn't Rick Jones anymore -- but --Captain Marvel!!

But the real truth is -- I don't know who I am anymore. A folk-rock comer named Rick Jones -- or a guy from another galaxy called Mar-Vell!

I -- I did it! I just thought about them -- and they're forming -- out of thin air!

I might as well have never left the Avengers.

Captain America taught me how to fight... And that alone makes me worth five of you creeps!

Ya see, ya killed a man -- a good man! I got mad -- and when Rick Jones is mad -- so's -- Captain Marvel!

How the (Expletive Deleted) did I get into this mess!

This is another fine mess you've gotten us into Marv!

Faan-tastic!! Instant Marvel Boy!

The Teen Brigade days hold some of the fondest memories of my life!

I guess I'll never be a super-hero.

There is a sure cure for this horror. As far as I can see, it works every time. And the golden girl’s right, big fella. It’s a final cure, guaranteed to make sure the infection doesn’t spread. It’s called… death!

You’re wrong, General! Our only hope now rests with… Rom, greatest of the Spaceknights!

We owe him our lives, Brandy. Let's remember him with our love.

Ever since Bruce Banner pushed me to safety and took the brunt of that gamma blast that turned him into the Hulk -- Well, I've felt responsible! One mistake and I'm spending a lifetime trying to rectify it!

I'll show you! I'll show you what happens when you mess with the Hulk!

That's not an earthquake. Too rhythmical. It's either giant robots or a two-ton Riverdance troupe - NO! BRUCE! AW MAN, I AM SO FREAKIN' SICK OF BEING RIGHT ALL THE TIME!

Boy, get one thing wrong, and the critiques start.

She's no more Jarella's long-lost sister than I am! She's just trying to take advantage of the love and esteem you have for her.

Kelly, listen to me! Listen kid! Make your own happy ending! Turn your reality into a place where you never had your powers to begin with! That's all it'll take!

Uh...Death? I...think I'm stuck old and with one arm. Can I be wrong about that, too? Death? Yo...Death? Ohhhh crap.

I'm old, with one arm, and still stuck with Marv... My life is a bad dream... But hey... ...at least I've got you to wake up.

Face it, Heather, you're putting the "Moon" in Moondragon. If your butt gets any bigger, it's gonna start affecting the tides.

Super-villain fates are like the military sometimes, Mar'. Don't ask......don't tell.

When I had cancer? Nothin'. And... And when I was crippled? Nothin'. Nothin' compared to this. I'm a young man, trapped in an old man's body.

You have an evil future self named Fredd. I have an evil future self called Thanatos. The Maestro is the Hulk's evil future self. I wonder if we can get a group rate for some serious therapy.

See, that's what heroes do, Steck. They save people. Triumph over obstacles. Beat the bad guys. As for our family, friends, well...they're always casualties, y'see? Relationships fall apart. Loved ones become targets for bad guys. They should really form a support group for families of superdoers. Kind of like they have for families of alcoholics, y'know? It's not all that different, y'know. Alcoholism and super heroing. You become hooked on something that feels so good when you're doing it. You get this...this buzz. This high. And you want more of it, and more. Pretty soon, it takes over your life, and it defines who you are. And sooner or later, it kills you. There's two kinds of super heroes, Steck. Those who die horribly...and those who haven't died yet.

Shinga Doon seemed quite rational in life...so, in death, seems fitting I've rationed him.

I thought I knew rage. I mean, I hung out with the Hulk, for God's sake. I thought I knew what pure, undiluted fury was like. But I've never seen anything like what Marv does to his father. Never. Ever. It makes the 'Singing in the Rain' sequence from 'Clockwork Orange' look like a third grade ballet recital.

I guess history isn't the truth. It's just what someone with self-interest wants you to believe.

A-BOMB SMASH RED MAN!!

No, hey! There's the bad monster -- I'm the nice monster!

Story of my life. I'm always left behind.

Ross? I've screwed up. And unleashed something horrible on the world. Figured you'd know some things about that.

I've been a sidekick for years now. I've seen a lot. I've seen the bad guys win. I've watched the good guys die. And if there's one thing I learned, it's this: The real monster in your life doesn't do loud rants in loud costumes. He doesn't gloat or give speeches. The real monster stays quiet. Keeps his head down. He's got a reputation to think about. He's got a name. Maybe you know it.

Oh yeah. Now I remember. I am the Sleeper Agent. That's how.

A Hulk, an Abomination, a Bucky Barnes wannabe. And most recently... well, that's another story. But I've been a little bit of just about everything, Mr. Mayor. Who knows who I'll be next?
