Quotes / X-Men (2019)

aka: Jonathan Hickmans X Men

#1:

Magneto: I've spent my life fighting so you would never have to, my child. I've wasted too much of my life at war with the humans. But it was worth it because now you have Krakoa, and Krakoa is all you will ever need.
Child: But what if humans try to take it from us? Like they always do? I'm not afraid. I won't run.
Magneto: You won't have to. For I am Magneto. Let man run from me.

Cyclops: You know, I remember when my son was born—I remember the sheer terror of it. Not the idea of being a father—my god, I loved that. I had waited my whole life for that... It was thinking about what kind of world I had brought this precious, innocent child into. The horrors that my beautiful boy would have to endure simply because he was my son—of my blood. Like me. I'll tell you, it was a close thing—surrendering to the world. Very close. But I held on. And, look, I have you, and your father, and my family...my boy. And we are home. Because I believed in a thing...and now it's real.
Polaris: Scott?
Cyclops: Yeah?
Polaris: Do you really believe that?
Cyclops: Every single word of it.

"Mutants...just look at what they have done."
— Doctor Devo

Doctor Devo: I've read Doctor Gregor's reports. I know you saw this disaster coming.
Omega Sentinel: Oh, the signs were there for anyone to see.

Wolverine: Want to explain what you're doing?
Vulcan: Inside this device an inferno burns. That fire matches the one inside me. Do you see? I was born for such things, and I will not stop until these all-consuming flames have—
Wolverine: Yeah, you're not listening... I want my steak rare.
Vulcan: You put the meat on the fire and expect, what, the fire not to be fire?
Wolverine: I'm going to fight you.
Vulcan: Peace, warrior. Because you are valiant and have earned my respect...I will give you your steak rare.
Wolverine: Thank you.
Vulcan: Medium rare.
Wolverine: You sonofa—

Corsair: Got stuck doing dishes, huh?
Cyclops: It's my night.
Corsair: Well, move over. You wash and I'll dry.
Cyclops: Actually, that's not how it works. I just spray this Krakoan goo all over them and it eats all the bacteria and waste... Then, when it converts it into various gases, it evaporates leaving behind clean plates.
Corsair: Son, that's disgusting. I think I'm going to vomit.
Cyclops: No. Disgusting was when Krakoa tried to grow us edible plates that also "improved" what it considered to be abnormal biological functions. The plates and the goo were a compromise.

#7:

Nightcrawler: (to Cyclops) In the land of blind faith, the one-eyed man is king.
