I've never felt so alive -- so charged with sheer power!!

—Avengers Vol 1 9

It's so odd to be in New York again-- with all my memories ten years out of date. This building was a construction site when I-- that is-- the day I died. Now I know how you must feel, Captain America.

—Avengers Vol 1 154

Uh,... if you can get us any help -- GET IT!

—Avengers Vol 1 165

Ms Marvel, what I was going to say was that perhaps we should have gone after the Wasp because we're... her friends.

—Avengers Vol 1 195

From what you tell me, the new owners have to be the Maggia.

—Marvel Premiere Vol 1 55

... It's time for a reckoning

—Avengers Vol 1 209

This overgrown Wookie's strong too -- and with Iron Man gone, there's no one but me to safeguard the other hikers in the canyon!

—West Coast Avengers Vol 2 32

Iron Man! Your predecessor was around when the original Avengers first tackled Immortus -- and I came along a few weeks later! What say we grab this clown's legs and make a wish?

—Avengers West Coast Vol 1 61

I've encountered something you never can, Vision. Something you never will. Death.

—Wonder Man Vol 2 9

And I hope I can keep my head together. Because tackling two cosmic bruisers on their home turf means being at my peak... pulling my weight with... the biggest, baddest bunch of heroes this boy's ever seen!

—Wonder Man Vol 2 13

I possess nothing... but my rage!

—Wonder Man Vol 2 15

This city...hasn't seen violence yet.

—Wonder Man Vol 2 16

The world's gone insane, Wanda! You want a quick fix? You want a little action to make everything right? Then meet your new hero.

—Wonder Man Vol 2 17

You see, I'm not that horrified little boy watching the fire, Eric. I'm not waiting for anyone to lead me or approve of me. I can do what I know is right. That's what makes an adult, Eric. That's what makes a hero.

—Wonder Man Vol 2 25

It's all right, Wanda-- I'm here. I'm here.

—Avengers Vol 3 2

You made one mistake, Eric. I'm sure you thought it poetic to use us as your puppets -- but we're AVENGERS. And Avengers will oppose you -- to the bitter end -- and BEYOND.

—Avengers Vol 3 11

Hey, if it's stage fright-- Try picturing us all naked.

—Avengers Vol 3 16

That's what my fair super hero was saying to me...that I had the honor of being around to remember great deeds...spectacular wins and harrowing failures... It's not just that I will never die... It's that, because of me...they will never die. And every year I will come to this place...to this Great Wall...and I will light the watchtowers...every year, on the anniversary of Ladyfair's passing...to remember that this wall was built as a means of defense, as those heroes were defenders...and to remember that sometimes even the most formidable walls -- like the walls we build around ourselves -- can be overcome...if someone is just willing to look at it...and wonder what's behind it.

—Wonder Man Vol 3 5

Carol? Hey, it's Simon. Ummmm, I know you said not to come by for a few days, but...how do I say this? I miss you. There. I've said it. I miss you and, well--

—Ms. Marvel Vol 2 21

I told Steve Rogers that if he put the Avengers back together it would be a mistake. I TOLD HIM FAIR! I warned him! And I'm telling you now. I'm not going to let this mistake repeat itself again.

—Avengers Vol 4 2

Sorry, Carol, but there's no way I can do what you're asking me to do as part of a team. And certainly not a team that continues to blame the Scarlet Witch for its own mistakes. I am going to try to find her before Wolverine does. Not because you asked me to...but because I owe her that much. We all do.

—Avengers: The Children's Crusade Vol 1 3

My name is Simon Williams. I used to be known as Wonder Man. I used to be an Avenger. Back when that really meant something. I know what I'm about to tell you is not a popular idea. I know that what I'm about to tell you flies in the face of how I've lived my life up until now. And maybe what I'm telling you flies in the face of what you believe. But the Avengers are wrong. The idea of a group of super-powered persons gathering together and deciding what's best for the world...is wrong. There is something very sexy about the idea. Something very appealing. Sure, I'll give you that. And that's why I was one of them for so long... But now I see clearly that I was wrong. They are wrong.

—New Avengers Annual Vol 2 1

They heard.

—Avengers Annual Vol 2 1

I think I owe you... an apology.

—Avengers Vol 4 31

You made one mistake, Eric. I'm sure you thought it poetic to use us as your puppets -- but we're Avengers. And Avengers will oppose you -- to the bitter end -- and beyond.

—Simon Williams (Earth-616)

Wonder Man	Blast you -- I have to do this! And if you still had a trace of my mind -- my soul -- in your lousy programming, you'd see that!
Vision	Then it is best for the efficiency of my performance that I do not.
Wonder Man	Efficiency...I won't let people die in the name of efficiency!

—Wonder Man Vol 2 8

Wonder Man	You were in love with the Vision -- a plastic man who wanted to think he was human. Then you started getting interested in me. Why, Wanda?!
Scarlet Witch	I don't understand --
Wonder Man	Is it because I'm fake, too? Because I'm just a bundle of ionic energy... pretending to be human? Are you turned on by artificial men?!

—Wonder Man Vol 2 14

Charcoal	Maybe we can talk this out?
Wonder Man	Maybe we can But we're NOT going to!

—Thunderbolts Vol 1 42

Ms. Marvel	Simon, can you deal with these guys while I take this nastiness somewhere else?
Wonder Man	I don't know if I rock enough to handle it.
Ms. Marvel	Ohhh, you have your moments.
