"Nothing stokes my ire like a cheater. Deception, duplicity, murder — these are merely tools in a toolbox one can use to ensure a job done well. But cheating? I cannot even wrap my head around the point of it. Wouldn't you know you had cheated? How on Earth could you maintain crisp certainty of your superiority to all others? And if you're unable to do that, what's the point of anything?"

(Robin is able to defeat Katarou, only for the latter to try one last attack on him)
Katarou: NO! The True Master must train me!
(Chu-Hui, the True Master herself, blocks Katarou's attack and disarms him of his stolen staff)
Chu-Hui: You did not make it up the mountain on your own skills. You tried before on your own before but could not make it. You are a thief and a cheater! The True Master will not train you. Not now, not ever!
Katarou: But—
Chu-Hui: Take him off my mountain!
(the Bear and the Monkey appear and grab Katarou's arms, taking him away from the summit)

"I'm... not really a doctor. I know that's what my ID says, but I never have been. Cheated the medical exams. What does a doctor these days need to know about manually resetting bones? When was the last time a top surgeon actually cut someone open? That's what the robots are for! Doctors these days read diagnoses off of computer readouts, and for that, I'm perfectly qualified.
But what good is it when I'm not connected to the main network? I'm bleeding. I've got glowing green pustules growing on my hands. I run a self-scan and it tells me I've got 'skin irritation'. The only thing I studied in medical school was how to lie convincingly. What the hell do I know about how to treat an alien disease?
...I think I'm actually going to die down here."

Hellboy: And you're telling me this why?
Darkseid: So you know that your death comes fairly.
