"We want them all. The heroes and villains. The mutants and monsters. Anything that calls itself superhuman: We want you to kill them all."
— Kesselring, The Punisher Kills the Marvel Universe
Butcher: See, people love that cozy feeling Supes give them. Some golden cunt to swoop out of the sky and save the day so you don't got to do it yourself. But if you knew half the shit they get up to? Ooh... (clicks tongue) fuckin' diabolical. But then... that's where I come in.
Hughie: Come in to... to do what?
Butcher: Spank the bastards when they get out of line.

Amanda Waller: Did Superman ever mention that, to get Luthor's pardon, he had to tell us about your parallel universe adventure? All about it? We started to wonder what would happen if you took the same action that the Justice Lords did, so I had my people run some computer simulations. If the Justice League ever went rogue, what do you think would be the result?
Batman: That's moot.
Waller: Humor me. In every single scenario, you beat us. Badly. But that was before Cadmus. Now we have the technology to defend ourselves.
Batman: Whatever you think you're doing, if you present a threat to the world, the Justice League will take you down.
Waller: If we present a threat? You've got a spaceship floating over our heads with a laser weapon pointing down. In another dimension, seven of you overthrew the government and assassinated the President! We're the good guys, protecting our country from a very real threat: you.
