Quotes7

  • Captain Marvel: No more Mister Nice Guy...
  • [takes on Superman]
  • Captain Marvel: My whole life, I've looked up to the League. You were my heroes. Every one of you.
  • Captain Marvel: [to Superman] And you, you were more than a hero. I idolized you. I wanted to be you. Whenever I was out there, facing down the bad guys, I'd think, "What would Superman do?" Now I know.
  • Captain Marvel: I believe in fair play. I believe in taking people at their word and giving them the benefit of the doubt. Back home, I've come up against my share of pretty nasty bad guys, but I never had to act the way they did to win a fight. I always found another way. I guess I'm saying I like being a hero. A symbol. And that's why... I'm quitting the Justice League. You don't act like heroes anymore.
  • Captain Marvel: You're my biggest fan.
  • Superman: Excuse me?
  • Captain Marvel: I-I mean I'm YOUR biggest fan! Sorry, sir, it's... uh... it's a little overwelming meeting you.
  • Superman: Have you read the papers today?
  • Captain Marvel: Just the comics. "Snorkel the Squirrel" was hilarious. He's looking for his nuts, right? And then Berkeley - that's this wacky bear - he...
  • [Superman shows him the front page of the Daily Planet, with the headline "Captain Marvel endorses Luthor for President!"]
  • Captain Marvel: Holy moly.
  • Superman: When you joined this team, you became something more than just a hero.
  • Captain Marvel: I know that, sir, but...
  • Superman: [holding up his hand to stop him] You became a symbol, a symbol that represents all of us.
  • Captain Marvel: Yes, sir.
  • Superman: We don't play favorites, we don't sell deodorant on television...
  • [Flash covers his face in embarrassment]
  • Superman: ...and we don't get involved in politics.
  • Captain Marvel: Yes, sir.
  • Superman: And we certainly don't endorse supervillains for the presidency.
  • Captain Marvel: Now... now, wait a minute. I never said that I was endorsing Luthor. Just that I think it's great that someone like him can change into a good guy.
  • Superman: Life just isn't that simple.
  • Captain Marvel: Well, maybe it is sometimes!
  • [pounding the table]
  • Captain Marvel: Maybe people can change!
  • [seeing their looks]
  • Captain Marvel: Can't they?
  • Superman: You are not to make any more public statements without running them past the League first. Is that understood?
  • Phil O'Bannon: America is a nation of second chances. And no one embodies that concept more than tonight's guest, once viewed as, shall we say, a less than admirable member of our society.
  • Lex Luthor: [chuckling] Oh, much less, I'm afraid.
  • Phil O'Bannon: Lex Luthor has transformed himself into a respected and admired presidential candidate, and we're delighted to welcome him to "The O'Bannon Agenda".
  • Lex Luthor: Thank you, Phil. But I'm not here tonight as a campaigner. I'm here to talk about something far bigger than mere politics.
  • Phil O'Bannon: And that would be?
  • Lex Luthor: My newest project: Lexor City. A fully functional urban paradise built for low-income Americans in search of that second chance you were just talking about.
  • Phil O'Bannon: Let's be straight here, Lex. There are people out there right now rollin' their eyes. They're sayin' that Lex Luthor hasn't changed, that he can't be trusted.
  • Lex Luthor: Heh. Can't say I blame them. But people can change. Take Hawkgirl, for instance.
  • Phil O'Bannon: You take her.
  • Lex Luthor: [chuckling] Now, Phil...
  • Captain Marvel: Hey, what you watchin'?
  • Superman: Shh.
  • Lex Luthor: My point is, yes, she betrayed the Justice League; yes, as a consequence of her actions, the Thanagarians almost destroyed our planet, but seeing as how the League has welcomed her back into the fold, they've apparently forgiven her and offered her a second chance.
  • Phil O'Bannon: They've taken a lot of heat for that decision.
  • Lex Luthor: Maybe they're being naive. Some might say dangerously so. Or maybe they just want to give her a chance to redeem herself. According to Captain Marvel, they're giving me the same benefit of the doubt. And believe me, I intend to make the most of it.
  • Lex Luthor: You don't understand.
  • Superman: [pushing him away] Out of my way, Lex. I don't know what's down there, but...
  • Captain Marvel: Hey, guys, guys. Let's take it easy, okay?
  • Lex Luthor: Captain Marvel, thank heaven you're here. He just won't listen. He...
  • Superman: You don't have x-ray vision. I do. There's some sort of device buried beneath us, and I'm shutting it down.
  • Lex Luthor: [trying to stop him] No! If you touch it, it could go off.
  • Captain Marvel: Go off?
  • Superman: So you admit you put a bomb under this city?
  • Lex Luthor: Not a bomb. An experimental fusion engine. It'll supply nearly free energy to everyone who lives here.
  • Captain Marvel: See?
  • Superman: Then why the lead shielding?
  • Lex Luthor: It's for your protection. The engine creates energy through controlled fusion of kryptonite molecules.
  • Captain Marvel: See?
  • Superman: And why didn't you tell me this?
  • Lex Luthor: Maybe... maybe I was afraid you wouldn't believe me.
  • Captain Marvel: Let's call the Atom or Steel to check the device over, see if what Luthor says is true.
  • Lex Luthor: At least someone here is keeping a cool head.
