They're underpaid – overworked – and unappreciated – no one calls them superheroes, or makes any fuss over them!

You people telling me how I just don't understand? When it's you people-- you clever people-- who don't get it. I don't let people die because it's the lesser of two evils, or expedient, or because it serves the greater good... I don't compare the act against something else-- I see someone who needs help... And I help. You think it's a weakness. You think it's simple... But you're wrong. It's what makes us human... Which is exactly what we're supposed to be fighting for. I know who I am. I rescue the helpless. I raise up the hopeless. I don't measure people's lives... I save them.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I love you, Sharon! I won't let you die!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

You really are a poor man's version of me, aren't you?

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Forget what sets us apart, Falc, -- and remember what pulls us together!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Bucky, You're dead! I know you're dead! I've accepted that! But what if I'm wrong? What if you survived -- and needed me? All those years, kid! All those years!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Mister "Frend", I don't know about your God -- but a God of Love is Mine!

That is the last lie you are going to tell about me! THE LAST LIE!

So, when people take a look at me -- which America am I supposed to be symbolize?

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

There has to be somebody who'll fight for the dream, against any foe ... Somebody who'll do the job I started -- Right! And God knows I can't let anyone else run the risks that job entails for me!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Someone is going to a great deal of trouble to kill me -- Well, I wouldn't want to disappoint them.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

There has got to be someone who'll fight for the dream against any foe.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

We're in this war, Namor, and we're going to win it -- but let's make sure we're still the 'Good Guys' when we do!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Not so fast you space-traveling ape .. I'm not an easy kill!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

It took 200 years, Falcon... But this country has grown up!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

You saved my life, Falcon! I should have known you'd show up when I needed you!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

You have your definition of a hero and I have mine --- and mine includes being a lot more aware.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I've seen my share of trouble, Miss. But I must go... It... it isn't proper...

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

That's all it takes to lick any problem -- Confidence in yourself and others.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

There's no doubt, Falcon! "The Nation Stands!"

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

This is not the Alamo and an army of those monsters can throw more fire than Santa Anna ever could!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I appreciate the advice, sir -- but I've never turned my back on a fight

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Is it wrong to stick to a principle? My dedication to what I do is as strong as my love for you!!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Bucky! If you harm that boy, I'll...

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

You can only be Hector Santiago -- The one they call the Swine!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Blow it out your mustache!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

(To Doctor Doom) ... If I had a choice, I'd sooner team up with Satan!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Stay back! I don't hit women!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

On to Berlin!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Don't get excited girls! This is merely temporary... As soon as the scratches heal, I'll be sound as a dollar!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

In our line of work, losing one's life is always around the corner.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Union Jack?!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

This whole team has been falling short of its rep, lately...

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I've got eyes! Hey! I can see!.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Gotcha you murderous little mutant!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Who is Steve Rogers?

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

MAYDAY! Situation desperate here -- Where are you?

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I think you've made a wise decision Falc! Good Luck!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I struck the waters off Newfoundland and plummeted...

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Get lost, Beast!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Did you kids mean what you said a minute ago...You're staying here in the States for a while -- to act as a group?

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Fury, Sorry to wake you, I need a favor.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

You're the reason I can never rest! You're the cause! You are why a man of peace must wage war!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I've got to prove that Captain America is more than just a mask and a serum!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Let's Move it, Invaders!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

It's funny isn't it Patriot -- You and I are similar in so many ways.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

This is my fight. Its been my fight since the time of Auchwitz and Treblinka!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Well, not exactly Torch, Bucky's matured some.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Is this the big Nazi Superman, then? Well, mister, I'll never rest until your kind are driven from the face of the Earth!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

... For Captain America, Duty Comes First...

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

A soldier, even a super-soldier, is only as strong as his ideals...his dreams.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I've fought your kind before...Only back then they spoke German and wore brown shirts!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

All right, Punisher, how about drawing a bead on a target who can defend himself?

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

You boys are getting old, that's all! World War II was a long time ago!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

The odds don't bother me as much as the number of innocent bystanders does!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

My duty to my country comes first. No matter what the cost!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

No, it will never be over. Not until we learn to temper justice... with mercy!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

We've got to keep fighting these fights until we win, Because if we lose them -- there's no hope for any of us.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I have no idea how many false memories they plugged into me. I pray I never find out.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I'll never stop believing that life is something most sacred, something to be sacrificed only for the greatest of causes...liberty!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

It's been a long time since I have been in England.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

It was at the end of World War II--over 30 years ago today that I-- that he...Bucky...

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

This city's my home... and as long as there's breath in my body. Captain America is going to defend it.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I'm a hero not a politician! I don't argue jurisdiction when lives are in danger!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Before I became Captain America...I was a civilian and I suppose there's still a part of me that wants to enjoy the liberties I fight for in that same way...just like any other man.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

So, I don't suppose what you're planning will do anything to compromise American foreign policy or security?

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

This wasn't the Devil, Tony. This was a friend in need. And we killed him...

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I don't like to see anyone ganged upon, Tony -- not even a foe.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Tonight's the last time I ever put so much liquor into my system!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

You're not just arrogant, Constrictor ... you're stupid!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Even the highest ideals--can't be forced upon people from without!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

You go! I'll shield you!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Biotron constructs -- diving at me like a squad of Hitler's Messerschmidts!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Reach out. Dare to dream the highest dreams and you will make a difference.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I represent the American Dream! A dream that has precious little to do with borders, boundaries, and the kind of blind hatred your ilk espouses!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

... Any man can stand up to any machine -- and conquer it!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Whatever it is Arnie... You've got Captain America.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

My life has been dedicated to the triumph of good over evil!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Can't you see that in stooping to your own enemy's level--you're being made over in his image--that you are becoming the very thing that you loathe?

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

We were lucky Reed, if the Skrulls had launched a full-scale assault ...

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Didn't you hear me, idiot? Unless you want a massacre on your conscience -- Call them off!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Get your hand away from her, Primus, before I rip it off! Now, Primus--- NOW!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I will not see the memory of Bucky Barnes desecrated again!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

It takes more than a mob and some muscle to stop Captain America!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I guess I do tend to patronize those in the crime-fighting business who are younger than I am! But then almost everyone in the business is younger than I am!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I see now the only way I'm ever going to be free of you is to see you dead!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

It's one thing to steal... and quite another to steal from Captain America.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I can feel it! I can feel it! This is Captain America's Shield!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

London certainly is a beautiful city.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I never admit defeat!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

This entire country of ours is my concern, Mr. Hutchinson.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Step outside quietly...or there is going to be trouble!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

...Bernie I can't shake this feeling that this is like...the end of an era.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I'm loyal to nothing, General -- except the Dream.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I guarantee the Avengers would never have you!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Good Lord, What have I done?

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I believe in the American dream. But THIS...this is some sort of NIGHTMARE!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I believe that guns are for killing, and killing is the ultimate violation of individual rights---the ultimate denial of freedom.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

It seems Americans are now afraid of me thanks to my new rep as a gunslinger...

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I'm sorry, but when I see a crime in progress--any kind of crime--I'm not going to idly sit by.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

This is wrong! Suicide is the coward's way out! My friends--my family would never coax me to be a coward!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Last time we spoke I told you I would blow the whistle on your operation if I found you had stepped out of line again. You just did.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I'm concerned there's a connection between the man I'm looking for and the Power Broker you've told me about.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Be seated Malus. You and I are going to have a little talk.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

If anyone can pull it off, it's the Yellow Claw! And if anyone can stop him it's me.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

D-Man! Dennis! It's me, Cap! Don't you recognize me?

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Captain America was created to be a mere soldier, But I have made him far more than that. To return to being a mere soldier would be a betrayal of all I've striven for, for the better part of my career. To serve the country your way, I would have to give up my personal freedom... And put myself in a position where I might have to compromise my ideals to obey your orders. I cannot represent the American goverment, the President does that. I must represent the American people. I represent the American Dream, the freeddom to strive to become all that you dream of being. Being Captain America has been my American Dream. To become what you want me to be, I would have to compromise that dream...abandon what I have come to stand for. My commitment to the ideals of this country is greater than my commitment to a 40-year old document.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I'm not Captain America anymore. Why am I chasing after this fella then?

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I'll get myself a new costume in order to preserve my anonymity and simply call myself Cap...

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

... I need a new shield, can you help?

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

O.K. Miss, Your madness stops here!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Let's cut the chit-chat and get down to business...in private!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Once Again I am forced to choose between saving lives and apprehending felons!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Why does the Commission have it in for me so badly?

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

If it comes to that, I'll lay my life on the line for Iron Man.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Jarvis, prepare guest rooms for the Soviets.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I do appreciate what you've accomplished, Diamondback.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Solo, Eh? I've heard of you... you're a self-proclaimed anti-terrorist whose origins are somewhat hazy... and whose methods are somewhat questionable!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

You did a grand thing, son.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Well, Controller. You'd better learn to control yourself.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Unhand Him Magneto!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Know something Diamond? We're going to have to stop meeting like this.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Fabian, are you on something?

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I've never felt better in my life.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Every time you buy drugs, you are financing murder...

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

You're concern is touching, but I'm fine. In fact, I haven't felt this alive in years.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

You can't justify murder by masking it with a cause.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

We can't be sure the menace it posed is over, can we?

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I've got to find out if what really counts is the drug...or the man.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Colonel Jameson, rev up the flagship. We're going for a jaunt to the Arctic.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

It's not a good idea for us to split up, Iron Man.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I'm reluctant to involve any of my teammates unless absolutely necessary.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Logan, you're under some sort of spell, fight it man -- FIGHT IT!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Why do I feel like Kafka's hero in "The Castle"?

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Look, we have no reason to fight. We're on the same side.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

How 'bout a hand, son? You look like you could use it.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Revenge is not our motivation here, squad... our first priority is to the victims of this mushrooming chaos.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Their unprovoked attack on Paradise Omega is clearly an act of war, Spider-Man... and people die in wars.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

So, what are you doing up here Fabian? You weren't planning to jump were you?

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Toughness means a strong mind in a strong body resisting weak thoughts and selfish acts!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

There's some guy going around imitating me, trying to smear my reputation.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I need some help nabbing an enemy.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I've been around a few years. Surely you must have heard of me.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I'm not sure you've ever met anyone as relentless as Americop.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

When I see an injustice... I can't just stand idly by!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

You've pased the audition, Spirit.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

You made a tough call, son--and saved thousands of lives in the process. Your father would have been proud of you today.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I can't surrender. I don't know how!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

All I did was help someone find his dream.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I have reason to believe there is an assasin who is going to make an atttempt on some or all of us assembled here.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Steady, Skull! As I said, like it or not--we're a team!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

You take care of those men. I'll take care of Manhattan.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

What are you doing here, boy?!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I know you want answers soldier! But sometimes you have to act!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

What do you mean you're not a god?!!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I'm an expatriate.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Don't thank me, sir. It comes with the job...and I wouldn't want it any other way.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I've always believed that all you need is one man to make a difference. To stand up when others are told to sit down. To speak loudly for those who have no voice. And to fight the good fight.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I want answers, Mister. And I want them now.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I've cut bigger men than you down to size, mister......and it looks like you're already shrinking to me. Have you noticed? Your vocabulary's going downhill big time!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

May the Lord God keep you all safe this day...and God Bless America.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Listen to me, all of you. You talk about an invasion force like it's a private club. You talk like the only ones who can fight and win this war are we few costumed elite. That was never the case. That never will be the case. America's war are fought mainly by our Armed Forces. We're just the decoration. The symbol that everything is still strong in this country. But it isn't us. It's the American people who are strong. They do what they have to do, because their country requires it of them... without the benefit of fancy powers and masks. And brave Americans is what we need this day. America has been on the defensive for too long. It's time to take back the world!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Don't knock the Shield.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I want it known that as of today...I am declaring war on Hydra.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I'm accustomed to being a symbol... but not a symbol of worship.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Next time you want to get back at a planet for crimes against Skrulldom...pick a world without me on it.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

It's as if there is something...ugly inside of me fighting to get out.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I thought I told you people ---- I'm Captain America.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Iron Man, Snap out of it!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

You haven't beaten me yet, Skull!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Believe in the strength of unity. Believe in the prize.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

No! None of this is real!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I can't kill you Sharon ... I love you.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Send some new linoleum?

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

And what's my fellow man's responsibility in this equation...? To always be vigilant.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Now, what?

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

All I can do, all a man can ever do is try.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

This nightmare you've been running stops here and now.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Fifty-five years after the end of the war, and I'm still fighting guys with swastikas.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I'm getting to you! I'm bothering you! And with what? Words? They're just words after all -- they can't hurt you -- not unless they're the truth -- !

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

It'd ruin my day if you surrendered peacefully.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

(On his Shield) I consider it a part of me, Thor. Much as you do your hammer, I'd wager.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Any idea what these things are?

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Nothing we can't handle.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

You're about to be de-throned.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

You'll never succeed, Nefaria! You'll never rule the world! There'll always be resistance -- ALWAYS! And it'll find a way -- a way to TAKE YOU DOWN!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

That hurt. I like that. It frees me---from having to hold back.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Warming a sideline bench is not my style.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

When I was a kid, women were never in charge.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I've been pushed around too long. Tonight... it ends... for one of us.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

A trial is a search for truth.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

This means it is up to each and every one of us to remind ourselves, and anyone who will listen, that all men and women are created equal.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I'm the one person you can trust, Connie!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Connie's gone. And she's never coming back.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

General, with all due respect-- This is a bad idea. The first time the Sentinels were activated, they turned on their creator. The second time, they did it again. More recently, they devastated Manhattan. They're too risky-- They're just a bad idea.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

We have no choice. So we fight -- and we win. There are no other options.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

We believe in life and the freedom to pursue it to the fullest.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

The Red Skull is at it again.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Now, you miserable, jacked-up little tin Hitler... ..Lets end this.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

No... this didn't come from any terrorist. This came from us.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Leila and Sam go back a long way.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Hate doesn't motivate me. My love for my country does...and you can never beat that.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Divide and conquer. The oldest military strategy in the world, and you fell for it.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

We're going to Lemuria.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Ready to show them our world view?

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Fellow Americans! Be Ready! The Revolution starts soon!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

An entire town?

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Let the pain go. Hold the dream.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

You just butchered two men who were under your command.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Chose your ground, soldier, and make your stand.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I am sick of people trashing this country.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

General, I honor your service, too. And I'll stand down. When Washington decides to stand up.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Right. But why hunt... when you can just farm?

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

For a while, I was a police officer myself. And so it was natural that I felt a certain way about a cop killer on the loose. But this wasn't my mandate. This wasn't how I'd get back the shield. I should have been chasing down the Watchdogs and Power Enterprises. But Larimore was dead. And the old officer in me got to talking. So I decided to walk my own path... not knowing that path would bring me full circle.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

So the question is, will you still believe in me? After all that's happened... do you still trust me?

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Dammit, Buck -- Selene, the Nukes, the girl... someone's working every angle. Pulling every string.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

This was about getting me out of the way. Both of me.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

So this had to be war, and like another old soldier once said... you go to war with the Army you have, not the one you wished.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I admit, I'm not the best about asking for help -- even when I clearly need it. I've been running around trying to undo what was done. A soldier fighting the last war. But I get it now. Wounds don't heal overnight. Some never heal at all. And this country... this country that I swore to protect... this country is wounded and... listen... what I am trying to say is I need your help. I need a team.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

This job I have now -- this job I fell into, really -- there's shades of gray to all of it. And what you said before might even be true -- in a different time, I might be the one fighting to end something like this. But if I ever start really questioning myself, and whether or not I'm fit to do this, I remember -- I, and the people I stand with, good and bad, faults and all -- no matter how right we believed we were... We'd never let people die just to prove our damn point. Now I don't know if that's enough for you, or for the rest of the world, but for the time being -- It'll have to do.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Remember! Remember who you really are!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

My job is to make tomorrow's world better. Always has been. Once, long ago, I asked Bucky what purpose Captain America served outside of combat. It was a foolish question. There'll always be something to fight for. And I'll always be a soldier.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

You come at me with that shiv, you're going to wish this was an alternate reality where the earth was ruled by proctologists.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Listen to me -- We're okay, I'll find a way..

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

We have been busy. And yet, the whole time, you've been working with us. With the Black Widow, and Captain Marvel. and Spider-Woman, and Bruce Banner, and Logan, and Tony. You thought we weren't paying attention? That we didn't care? Every one of us has been where you are right now. This place, this is where we come when the monsters we face are too powerful or too plentiful... From the moment you stepped in here... you were never alone.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

It only takes one to rise for others to follow.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Move aside and look away.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I'm nothing like my father, Ian. Spent my life running from his shadow. Spent my life avoiding his mistakes. You can, too.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Then consider the order given. Jump us to Earth. There's one last world that needs saving.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

This victory changed nothing. We remain outgunned, fractured and, because they have taken so many worlds, we've lost the only real advantage we had... We're outmanned. So why are we sill going to meet with them even if they though they have ill intent? Because there's really only one move we have left to make. We surrender.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Patriotism taken too far is fanaticism. No matter who you are or where you're from. Foreigners aren't your enemy, son. I'm the son of immigrants. When I was a kid it was my father's people, the Irish, who were looked down on. Called filthy foreigners. Discriminated against. Is that the xenophobic America you want? All religions, all nationalities, we all want the same thing. To see our children grow strong. To provide safety to our families. To live in quiet times. Peace, son. Isn't that why we became soldiers in the first place? To fight for a peaceful world?

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Cooperate peacefully and I give you my word you'll be treated with decency and respect.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

The fact is we're hunted and alone in hostile territory and we need to move. Now.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Don't worry, ma'am. Just tell us where you saw him last...and leave this to the Avengers

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

So this is like the old days, gentlemen. All in!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

They say old soldiers never die, Volkov

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

We owe you one for this. Any time you find yourself in need of an extra hand or two in the future, you know where to find us. You're gonna fit right in.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Maybe the Punisher is on to something. Couldn't hurt to darken up the image some.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Yeah. Not a fan of science fiction, but is this an H.G. Wells thing? Or did we travel backwards in time?

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Don't mean to interrupt, Queen... Central Park has rules about public fornication... and we've got a fight to finish.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

The only way the Avengers can outlive us is if we keep getting bigger, keep reaching for more. It's not the roster, or the tower-- It's the idea of it. We put out the call-- And the world answered.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

They should have left me in the ice. I'd be a hero.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

It's the little things they've stolen from us with this registration garbage. The little things that make us who we are.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

There's too much at stake, Sam -- I'm getting him out of here. Stand down-- Or I can't guarantee your safety.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

...I will do everything in my power to bring you-- and S.H.I.E.L.D.-- crashing down.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Sharon... I'm just tired -- a lot on my mind.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Doesn't matter what the press says. Doesn't matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right. This nation was founded on one principle above all else: the requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world -- "No, you move."

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I told you it'd get uglier before it gets better.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

They're right. We're not fighting for the people anymore, Falcon... Look at us. We're just fighting.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

There's a lot going on out there right now, Spector. A lot more than you can see just coming off the sidelines like you are. A whole world in turmoil. A world that needs heroes like it never had before.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I love you and want you to find your happiness. I know you'll do what your heart feels is right. Be it here or in another dimension... it's hard to find where we belong, son.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

What Rogue means to say is -- mutants and Inhumans are a part of our Avengers family. And families sometimes argue.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

We don't want a war, Dane.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I know this is an old line, but I'm an old man, so you'll have to excuse me for using it... this hurts me a lot more than it hurts you.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

There's nothing patriotic about corruption or cover-ups...or defending them. But exposing them, well, that takes a hero.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

In all my years of service, my biggest regret is all the people who see the symbol, but miss the point.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

We accomplished what we needed to, Doctor Selvig. Herald was a loose end -- if he'd exposed my role in getting U.S. Agent to go after Sam, things could've... unraveled prematurely.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

A carny with a bow and arrow, a super-speed keg of dynamite, and a bombshell whose powers "sometimes backfire." All three of them reformed villains. Thanks, Iron Man.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

We're Avengers. Let's avenge our way back into the public's grace. Who's with me?

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Ready for round two, Avengers?

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I'm just a figment of your imagination.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Something's messing with my mind. My memories.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I just care about one thing-- the Winter Soldier.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

We'll get him this time, regardless of his political influence.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

... my metabolism doesn't let me get drunk.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Batroc, I'm in no mood for this.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

We could be under attack. We have to be sure...

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Frankly, partner -- I don't know what to think.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Hello MODOK. Its been awhile.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I honestly don't know what I'm going to do about Sam...

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I've been fighting fascists my entire life. And I promise you, there is nowhere you can run or hide that will keep you safe from them. There's only one thing you can do. You stand, and you fight.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

All my life, I fought to become a symbol. A symbol of all the things that were right about this country. All the things I loved. And now, they're trying to turn that symbol into whatever's most convenient, whatever will best serve the political agenda of one side or another. I can hear them talking nonstop...the media. The press -- They don't understand. It was never about politics. It was never about me. It was about the country. But they can't hear that truth above their own voices.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

It was during the cleanup after the Battle of Washington -- I came across a little boy trapped in the rubble. I reached out to him -- and he flinched. Pulled away. He was afraid of me. And I realized, this would be my life now. That even though the world had seen us fight -- even with Tony's company spending millions explaining what happened to me -- on some level, this would always be there. There would always be a scar. So I came here to see you -- to look into your eyes and take the measure of the man who cost me all this. The man who, in no time at all, took all the trust and respect I'd spent a lifetime trying to build and burned it to the ground.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Excuse me...do you kids have a license to drive that thing?

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Go ahead. I dare you.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I thought you were dead.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I'm deeply sorry for your loss, my friend. I have faith that you'll find a way to carry this burden. Don't let what's happened to you be an excuse for cynicism. You're a great soldier, and the world needs men like us.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

They're not interested in mass destruction... unless it draws people with enhanced abilities into their crosshairs. They're using alien symbiotes to prep their targets for some sort of physical and mental takeover. Kid, it's time to put those monsters of yours to use and do a little surprise attacking of our own. We track the prey and we'll catch the predators.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Well, then... it'd be an honor to work with you, soldier.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I need you calm. You understand? I'm counting on you now. Pretty sure Agger's going to offer you that job again. And, this time, you're going to take it.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I wish we could do more, just you and me.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

You're going to need to come with us, Sentry.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Yes...let's be sure that Baron Blood is still in his grave... And if he is...then let's go find out who the hell is turning our boys into vampires.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I've seen a lot of boys go to war, and not all of them have returned. So many have left without a chance for me to say goodby that you'd think it would be impossible to keep track of. I've never forgotten the name of a single one of them. Because I can't. And I consider that a privilege.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

...Of course, there were things I couldn't tell him...things I don't know how to say... Like that I didn't only relive my past...I also saw my future...and I think if Bucky doesn't keep wearing that uniform...if he doesn't keep being Captain America...I think he may die...and I couldn't live with that. Even if it means I have to sacrifice a future I want.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

You're right, Hawkeye, the world has gone to hell. But thank God the Avengers are here to do something about it. And we are. You ready?

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

My God. You wanted America to fire first... so you could retaliate! Justify your response! But the Avengers are there! They'll stop your missiles!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

This feels so strange...I keep expecting to slip away...or wake up and find this was all some dream. And...ever since the fight ended, I can't stop thinking about it...what I saw when they were pulling me back through time. It was like split seconds of...my future? Or was it my possible futures? More than one. I saw me and Sharon together, with children...a long life...happiness. But I saw something else, too. Something awful... ... Is it some kind of warning? And if it is, how do I fight the future?

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Tony's right about one thing... Namor has to pay.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

We're twenty minutes into this prerecorded message... how far ahead could he possibly have planned for this?

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

There's too much at stake, Sam -- I'm getting him out of here. Stand down-- Or I can't guarantee your safety.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Going home. Regrouping. We should do the same... Tiger Shark said Namor was going to "end this." Right now we need to find out what that is... because I think there's only one or two moves left here.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

We're here to stop evil men from thinking they know what's best for the world. I know your path feels different now, Namor. Mine it too with the Avengers, but promise me this... once an Invader... always an Invader.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

All right, Avengers... You...you will be the face of a new era. And I will tell you why I picked you... For your nobility and strength. Your cunning and bravery. Power and responsibility. Ruthlessness and selflessness. Symbolism. Savvy. And a clear view of the future.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I believe in an idea... An idea that a single individual who has a right heart and the right mind... That is consumed with a single purpose... That one man can win a war.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Let me put this out there for you to chew on. Come into the light. ... I know you've lost good people. And I don't know entirely what your people had to deal with inside the energy dome that engulfed San Francisco -- but I know getting out of it meant you didn't just save yourselves, but you saved the rest of us, too. The whole world saw the X-Men save them. It's time to bring the X-Men front and center. Lead your people into the daylight. ... This is the time, Scott. The X-Men are heroes. Time to act like it.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Listen to me, Archon... I don't know what power you have, but that man down there under the influence of that crown is my brother. He's a good man... and I won't have you killing him. Not if there's another way.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Are you in over your head, Nicholas?

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

... Hitler and the Third Reich is the greatest of evils and it's time for all good men to come together and fight.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I can't believe I'm about to give this advice to a Hulk...but I'm guessing you're going to try to talk to the boy? That's...good, as his father, you might be able to end this peacefully...but you've got a whole planet to defend...and a whole new family. ...And meanwhile the only thing we know about this boy on K'ai is that, whatever he's been through...he may be trying to kill us all. So by all means, talk to him...but don't forget how to smash.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Honestly? I just want to sleep.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Kevin may not be salvageable, but I'm willing to roll the dice. The world still needs heroes -- maybe Kevin can eventually be half as good as his father.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Deadpool didn't read the brief. He had no idea who he was dealing with. Yet he was the first on his feet and he managed to subdue our entire team.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I thought I could break the cycle and help this poor girl. That was my mistake. This is no 'poor girl.' She loves what she does. It wasn't just nurture -- or lack thereof. It was nature. It's in her blood. She lives on other people's pain and death. Including mine.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

We need heroes. As many as we can get to help keep the peace. But they have to be volunteers -- no forced conscription or registration this time. And I need someone to coordinate their efforts. In short, Prodigy -- I want you to lead a new initiative.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I just saw someone that I haven't seen since 1944.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

We've been through a lot. We've lost some dear friends and we've gained some, too. And with that, historically, we know that this means it's time to do some real soul-searching. It's time to reexamine what the Avengers are and what we mean to each other and the world. So the real question is...who will stay and who will go? Who will be an Avenger?

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Arnim Zola. Crazy man who broadcasts his mind into mechanical bodies. 4.2.3. is one of his personality updates that got locked in one android body. A broken copy stuck to the machinery. The Shadow Council are good at recruiting broken copies of things.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

You will become the pride of the United States military. You will assume a key role in most of the significant events of this conflict and --God willing-- when the day comes you will be among the first to sock Adolf Hitler in his ugly jaw.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I just have one question... what the hell happened, John? You used to be one of the good guys.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Hello, Isaiah. I'm Steve Rogers. I'm really happy to meet you.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

The General took me through the history Tony Stark had glossed over. Watergate. The Pentagon Papers. The press was free to the point of irresponsibility, but the scandals it brought to light were far worse. Colonels had been caught funding rebel armies. A President had resigned to avoid criminal prosecution. We lost a war in Vietnam. How in God's name did we lose a war?

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

So we keep an eye on him, Sharon. But I won't condemn a man for what might lie in his mind. I won't condemn a man for what he might do. Even Hitler.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Don't mean to interrupt, Queen... Central Park has rules about public fornication... and we've got a fight to finish.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

New York City! As always, it is an honor to call you our home. Let it be heard from the streets of this city, to the streets of our allies all over the world... We are a planet of the free, a people of freedom...! And if you choose to stand in the way of that freedom, you will hear these words: AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

You're either insane or you've crossed a line no one should cross...

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

It's me. I need your help. No... this is Invaders business.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Steele! If you hurt her, I swear I will kill you! I will find a way and I will kill you!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

That page was drawn by a kid. A weak, sick kid who thought that was the only way he could help his country...make his mark. That was a future I was saved from. I don't draw adventures. I'm a soldier. I have them.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

It's all right, Tony. I'm content to give my life as an Invader. Because all of you have given it so much meaning...by letting me be an Avenger.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I don't hold back. There's no time. Machinesmith could be selling the formula right this second. But also... because I don't want to. These men are bullies. Brutes. Using the Super-Soldier Serum like steroids. And I won't deny how angry that makes me.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I never hear the shot... but by the time I hear the glass breaking... it's already too late. Another Professor Erskine is dying in my arms... and I have no idea what is going on.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

We should've talked sooner.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

I have been in the company of heroes. In the company of heroes I remain.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

The Cosmic Cube? The one that was designed by that lunatic the Magus?

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Children have rights, agent. Those rights must be respected.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

A third assignment in my first 24-plus hours on the job, huh? Well I guess I knew what I was in for when I signed up...

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

We played your deranged game -- but we played by OUR rules, not yours -- and the Avengers' rules have always been about saving lives -- whatever it takes.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

We must all live in the real world... and sometimes that world can be pretty grim. But it is the [American] Dream... the hope... that makes the reality worth living. In the early 1940's, I made a personal pledge to uphold the Dream... And as long as the Dream remains even partially unfulfilled, I cannot abandon it!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

We saved some lives... but there are no winners on a night like this.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

If I fall, I fall as who I am. Who I've been for the better part of a century. But if I somehow make it through this whole ridiculous fracas victorious, what will I have become? Other than lost. Other than the Phoenix.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

It's going to take more than a corpse to convince me that the Red Skull is gone for good.

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

It's time that Captain America died -- so that Steve Rogers can finally live again!

--Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Conversations with Steven Rogers (Earth-616)

Hawkeye	So, Steve, this entire mission, dropping us into the nest of the Masters of Evil -- you were hip to all of this? All part of a test to see if I'm ready to lead some Avengers?
Captain America	Would you approve if it were?
Hawkeye	That's the thing about being a leader, Steve...you have to find that approval in yourself.

— Secret Avengers #21.1

Captain America (Steve Rogers)	You found the Scarlet Witch, when we couldn't. You stopped Dr. Doom, when we couldn't. You somehow managed to diffuse our conflict with the X-Men--
Jessica Jones	For the moment.
Captain America (Steve Rogers)	So, we've asked you here to let you know that from this day forward... whether Young Avengers or not... in our eyes, you are and always will be Avengers!

— Avengers: The Children's Crusade #9

Commander Steve Rogers	Where is she? Where is the Red Skull?!
Master Man	Taking away everything...from you. Ha ha ha ha ha!

— Avengers Vol 4 #16

Captain America	No matter what the Avengers do, half of America blames us and half the world hates us. No matter what we do, it feels like we're not doing enough. We make just as many messes as we clean up. And you know as well as I do, as mad as we were at Simon for blaming the Avengers for the world's problems... Part of us agrees with him.
Iron Man (Tony Stark)	So the question is: what do we do now?
Captain America	What do we do now?
Iron Man (Tony Stark)	I know exactly what we do now.
Captain America	Yeah?
Iron Man (Tony Stark)	We go bigger.

— Avengers Vol 4 #34

Bucky Barnes	Oh... Oh God... ...Please tell me I didn't kill anyone...
Steve Rogers	Not for lack of trying. What the hell were you thinking, Buck?
Bucky Barnes	I don't know... I was just.. ...Desperate. He's taken everything, Steve... I don't know what to do... I don't know how to save her.

— Winter Soldier #13

Ex Nihilo	But you have to wonder, don't you? I have remade thousands of worlds, and seen the destruction of far, far more--and yet it is your planet she has chosen to call home. What is it that makes your Earth so special?
Captain America	You want my best guess?
Ex Nihilo	Please... indulge me.
Captain America	It's an Avengers world.

— Avengers Vol 5 #3

Captain America	Guess I was too deep in thought... thoughts about Bucky!
Goliath	Bucky? But… he's dead!!
Captain America	Is he, Hank? Is he??

— Avengers #56

Nick Fury	Man...this is more than I can process. How did she create something of this magnitude without us knowing about it?
Captain America	She didn't create it, Nick. We did.

— Spectacular Spider-Man Vol 2 #18

Bucky	Hey, you really have'ta stop callin' me James...
Steve Rogers	So, what do I call you, then?
Bucky	How about you just call me Bucky?

— Captain America and Bucky #620

Captain America	So, you got him to talk? You didn't do anything drastic did you?
Jet Black	Heavens no. He was very cooperative.

— Captain America Vol 7 #18

Red Skull	And how is our newest recruit today? Show me your loyalty, Captain America!
Captain America	Heil, Red Skull!
Red Skull	Good! Good! You learn your lessons well!

— Tales of Suspense #67

Nick Fury	Anyway, in spite of that corny playsuit ya romp around in, yer A-Okay in my book, Cap!
Captain America (Steve Rogers)	That goes double for me, Colonel -- in spades!

— Marvel Double Feature #2

Red Skull	Attention, helpless mankind! What I have done to your city is but a sample of what the Red Skull can accomplish--with the help of my new partner-in-evil--the once-heroic Captain America!! Speak, you star-spangled swine!! Speak-- so that all may see that Captain America has finally betrayed those who have trusted him! Who is the master now?? Speak!!
Captain America	I serve--only--the Red Skull!

— Tales of Suspense #90

Captain America	Listen to me! The Sleeper is the deadliest thing on earth! If you think I'll risk your life --
Agent Thirteen	Has anyone ever told you how handsome you are when your eyes flash that way?

— Captain America #102

Captain America	It's Sharon, Nick! I have to see her!
Nick Fury	I'll show ya a picture!
Captain America	Don't push me, Colonel! You know what I mean!

— Captain America #120

Nick Fury	Okay you two... Git lost.. Before I beltcha with a cryin' towel!
Captain America	You don't have to tell us twice, old friend!
Nick Fury	Some superhero! Yer as tough as a bowl'a Jello!

— Captain America #124

Captain America	Thanks, Wanda. If you hadn't cast that protective hex sphere around us just in time...!
Scarlet Witch	Don't mention it captain. I rather enjoy being alive myself!

— Avengers #205

Silver Surfer	It is made of solidified air molecules... Hardened to an unbelievable degree!
Thor	My uru hammer barely chips the surface!
Iron Man	Magnetic repulsor rays have no effect!
Captain America	The edge of my super-hard shield doesn't even dent it!
Tigra	If you guys think I'm going to break my pretty claws trying to scratch my way in... go fish!

— Avengers #215

Falcon	If you were awake, why didn't you help me?
Captain America	Didn't think you needed it. I was right.

— Falcon #4

Sersi	It...pleases me...to hear such concern in your voice, dear captain... Pleases me to lie within the curve of your strong arms...
Captain America	Sersi...
Spider-Man	Er...'scuse me for butting in on this tender scene, folks...but...isn't that the screen that was showing the view outside a second ago? What the heck's happened to the rest of the universe?!?

— Avengers #314

Wolverine	Whassa-matta fellas? Look like you're seein' a ghost.
Captain America	But -- we saw you shot!
Wolverine	I got better.

— Uncanny X-Men #268

Nick Fury	What if we don't find her before then? Heck, what if we do?
Captain America	The answer's the same to both questions: I don't know.

— Spectacular Spider-Man Vol 2 #19

Captain America	Guardians, do you read?!
Starlord	We'll be with you in a moment, please hold!

— Avengers Assemble Vol 2 #7

Captain America	I'm sorry about Natasha... and Jasper.
Winter Soldier	Yeah, is this how you felt? When I was... lost...?
Captain America	Yea... Helpless. I'd rather take a gut punch from the Hulk.

— Winter Soldier #10

Captain America	TAKE COVER!
Black Widow	You make friends everywhere you go, don't you?

— Captain America and Black Widow #638

Past Beast	What was that?
Wolverine	I'll do the talking. Shut up.
Past Cyclops	Who is out there?
Wolverine	Well... "your brother and his... Uncanny Avengers
Captain America	Come out with your hands up! You are in a lot of trouble! Don't make it any worse for yourselves!

— All-New X-Men #11

Gladiator	Look! A Builder has fallen... And once free Hala is now free again. You have succeeded, Avenger... Again. What follows after this?
Captain America	Now we win.

— Infinity #4

Havok	You know, if this wasn't a mission to stop genocidal twins from performing a rapture... with the Moon and everything...
The Wasp	It would be a bit romantic.
Captain America	More so if I wasn't here.

— Uncanny Avengers #12

Nuke	Because of you, Americans are ASHAMED of themselves! ASHAMED OF OUR BOYS!
Captain America	I'm an American -- And you sure as HELL don't speak for me!

— Captain America Vol 7 #13

Captain America	Where's Nick Fury? The real Nicky Fury. Tell him the Avengers are here. Tell him Captain America says... No more damn secrets.
Nick Fury	No more secrets. I agree, Steve. And so do they, apparently.
Captain America	Nick? What the hell?
Nick Fury	Maybe it's because they're together again. Or because they know that this is the end. Either way all that really matters, is that now, at long last... All my eyes are open.

— Original Sin #6

Hawkeye	Hey! What are you talking about, Steve? What's going...
Captain America	We have a traitor.
Hawkeye	Who?
Captain America	Tony Stark.

— Avengers Vol 5 #29

Captain America	I don't know when binge drinking became publicly acceptable, even at a party, but in my day it was frowned upon.
Wolverine	Explains Prohibition.
Captain America	We knew how to restrain ourselves.
Wolverine	In my day, we called that being a buzz kill.

— Uncanny Avengers Annual #1

Spider-Man	It just feels weird, after all these years working outside the "system."
Captain America	Will it help if I pin a gold star on your chest so everyone knows you've gone legit?

— Spider-Man: Breakout #2

Peter Parker	I can't believe I'm saying yes to this. Who can say no to you?

Steve Rogers	Oh, there's no money.
Peter Parker	Ugh, that is so me it's not even funny.

— New Avengers #3

Warbird	Oh, my-- Was that Wolverine?

Captain America	Your camp has fallen. I urge you to surrender. You don't need to die tonight.
Wolverine	I urge you not to listen to Cap and keep fightin'!
Deadpool	Uh, I haven't prepared any remarks, so why don't you just do what your heart tells you?

— Deadpool Vol 3 #17

Living Tribunal	We see, Thor, that one past scheme of Loki's led to your joining forces with several mortal heroes -- to form the Avengers. A team ever-growing... ever-changing... ever-united against common threats...
Thor	'tis true.
Captain Marvel	And we intend to keep doing so!
Captain America	As long as one of us yet lives.
Iron Man	We'll never give up.

— Truth: Red, White & Black #5

Black Widow	Who in the hell is John Steele?
Commander Steve Rogers	He was a... brother-in-arms, I guess... not exactly a friend.

— Secret Avengers #9

Commander Steve Rogers	So who are the Shadow Council? What do they want?
John Steele	They're the original sore losers. Sons of a revolution that failed a long time ago... I was running from them when we all stumbled into a portal... A path between time and space... And the things we met inside it changed us. As for what they want... they want it all... the whole world...

— Secret Avengers #12

Captain America	Octavius is close to death. That has a way of bringing things into sharp focus. Perhaps--
Spider-Man	Perhaps what?! You're actually discussing this?! What is this? Earth's Mightiest Chat Room?!
Spider-Woman	Spider-Man? Is that--?
Spider-Man	Yeah. New suit. New look. Get over it. I'm talking now. And I'm saying the only two words anyone here should be saying-- Avengers Assemble!
