Mayor Jameson – You’ve got to have your thumb on the pulse of the public.  All good Mayors know that.  LaGuardia.  Lindsay.  Even that clown Koch knew it.  You know their hopes.  Their fears — especially their fears — you can use it to lead.  To guide them wherever you want.

and

Logan – African heads o’ state are all the same.  Put ’em in power and they all go nuts.

Emma Frost – Nelson Mandela?

Logan – Lemme tell you something about Nelson Mandela.  He ran a guerilla war — which means he ran kill teams.  Civilians died.  What do they call that kind o’person in the United States, kid?

Hisako – … a terrorist?

Logan – Don’t sound so surprised.  I mean, give the man credit, he copped to it himself.  “I do not deny that I planned sabotage.  I planned it as a result of a calm and sober assessment of the political situation.”  Ain’t no saints in Africa, is all I’m saying.  Know how he got caught in the end?

Hisako – No, but you’re going to tell me…

Here’s this week’s batch of quotes that prove comics isn’t just for kids these days.

Captain America/Black Panther: Flags of Our Fathers #2

Captain America – I think this war will cause a lot of Americans to rethink their attitudes.  You can’t go to war with a bunch of jerks who call themselves the master race and turn around and do the same thing back home.

Black Panther – Evil is only allowed to flourish when good men do nothing to stop it.  As a symbol of your country your actions take on great weight.  The true test of your ideals come when the war is over.

Captain America – What do you mean?

Black Panther – A nation at war has an enemy to unify them.  A nation with no enemy… often looks for one within it’s own borders.

Superman: War of the Supermen #1

Alura – Reactron is a prisoner of the state, and he has information necessary for the protection of our people —

Kara – “Our people”?  Have you lost your freaking mind?  You’ve been torturing someone down here, mom!  Someone you sent me to Earth to bring back to New Krypton.  That makes me responsible for him.  Just as it makes me complicit in a war crime.

Alura – If I have to go to extreme measures to get information out of him — information that will keep our planet safe — it’s worth it.

Captain America #605

Captain UnAmerican – You really don’t see, do you?  This country’s at war, and most of you don’t even know it.  And I’m not talking about the Middle East, I’m talking right here in America.  I don’t even recognize this place anymore, and you shouldn’t either.

G.I. Joe #155 1/2

Zartan – They managed to get right up to the steps of the Capitol, where they read their manifesto… the usual clap-trap about abolishing the Federal Government and taxes, deregulating darn-near everything, and instituting a completely unfettered free-market economy.

the Invincible Iron Man #25

Justine Hammer – A quarter of a million Euros of expense to create an autonomous, anonymous, asymmetrical declaration of war.

Nancy – You hold this anniversary up as a justification for mind control?  There is no such thing as security, Paul.

Ex Machina #48
