Fall, you walking nightmare!

 Ant-Man |
| Wait! Before we separate, the Wasp and I have something to say! Each of us has a different power! If we combined forces, we could be almost unbeatable!
|
|
 Iron Man |
| Work as a team? Why not? I'm for it!
|
|
 Thor |
| There is much good we might do!
|
|
 Hulk |
| 'I'm sick of bein' hunted and hounded! I'd rather be with you than against you! So, whether you like it or not, I'm joining the... the... Hey! What are you callin' yourselves?
|
|
 Wasp |
| That's right! We need a name! It should be something colorful and dramatic, like... the Avengers, or...
|
|
 Ant-Man |
| "or" nothing! That's it! The Avengers!!
|
|
 Iron Man |
| We'll fight together, or separately, if need be!
|
|
 Hulk |
| I pity the guy who tries to beat us!
|
|
 Thor |
| We'll never be beaten! For we are... the Avengers!

 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 (trying to get through a shield made by the Molecule Man) |
| If you guys think I'm going to break my pretty claws trying to scratch my way in... go fish!

 Iron Man |
| I tell you we've got to find the Hulk! So long as he's running wild, there's no telling what he'll do!
|
|
 Thor |
| Iron Man is right! So says Thor!
|
|
 Wasp |
|
 Giant-Man |
| He's one joker you can't find in the classified ads!

 Iron Man |
| Okay, okay. Listen...this is delicate stuff...write this down. Make sure your biofeed readers are completely stabilized and double-check your power level on the RT-97.
|
|
Dr. Carolina Washington |
| Okay, okay...we're looking good with both of those.
|
|
 Iron Man |
| Oh...and you're going to need a map.
|
|
Dr. Carolina Washington |
|
 Iron Man |
| Hell. Because you need to go there... That's my fancy way of saying: Go to hell.
|
|
 Monica Rappaccini |
| I can't believe you walked right into that.

 Cyclops (Scott Summers) |
| So what's the general consensus?
|
|
 Iron Man (Tony Stark) |
| As far as I'm concerned, Stamford was our wake-up call. What alcoholics refer to as a moment of clarity. Becoming public employees makes perfect sense if it helps people sleep a little easier
|
|
 Falcon (Sam Wilson) |
| I can't believe I'm hearing this. The masks are a tradition. We can't just let them turn us into super-cops.
|
|
 Yellowjacket (Henry Pym) |
| Are you kidding? We're lucky people have tolerated this for as long as they have, Sam. Why should we be allowed to hide behind these things?
|
|
 Wolverine (James Howlett) |
| Because the world ain't so nice outside your ivory tower, bub.

 Tony Stark |
| Maybe I'm just a pasteboard playboy... maybe I come on with a manufactured line... but I know a real woman when I hold one... and I know there's a kind of beauty that can't be destroyed... because it's on the inside!
|
|
Madame Masque |
| I'm not certain that fits me, Tony Stark... but I'd like to think it did! But my thoughts are unimportant... if we can't escape this island!

 Dum-Dum Dugan |
| Why aren't these men in uniform?
|
|
 Tony Stark |
| It's Casual Friday. Uniforms are optional for support staff... didn't you get the memo?

 Jasper Sitwell |
| An agent of SHIELD never leaves the scene of battle! Surely you are familiar with our world-famous slogan...
|
|
 Iron Man |
| Okay! Okay! Skip it! I've got things to do!

The M.S.F. accountants are all that stand between us and the I.R.S., Cap. Believe me, rather than deal with the guys they deal with I'd fight Ultron barehanded. In my underwear.

Nice thing about built-in radar: You can see where you're going -- when you can't see where you're going!

Civil War
Edit
And while I'm bonding with [King] Arthur, Doctor Doom is out there somewhere bonding with Morgan le Fey of the evil $%#@ing #$## le Feys and they start a zombie war. Of course!! Right? It's Doom!! Why take this miracle of an opportunity to go sight-seeing or on some sort of sociological expedition in a time long lost... when you can start a zombie war!!
- --From Civil War: The Confession #1
The U.S. Government paid Stark Industries close to a billion dollars to make that bunker impregnable. This is your chance to make me look like an idiot. Commence firing!

Once you've read it over, give me your thoughts and pack your bags because we're going to Washington.

Oh, yeah. Me and Mandarin go way back. I've been locked up in his palace so many times I've thought about having my mail forwarded there
