Quotes 

• Cyclops : We're a team. We're a *superhero* team. And I think it's time we started acting like one.

  Wolverine : Ho, whoa, wait... is this gonna be about tights?

• Cyclops : We've saved the world - worlds even - time and again. That's the truth. That's what we do. But the perception is that we're freaks or worse. That we're Magnetos waiting to happen. We've been taking it on the chin so long, just trying to keep from being wiped out, I think we've forgotten that we have a purpose. I know the rest of the world's forgotten... The point is simply this: we need to get into the world; saving lives, helping with disaster relief; we need to present ourselves as a team like any other. Avengers, Fantastic Four; they don't get chased through the street with torches!

  Wolverine : Here come the tights.

  Cyclops : Sorry Logan, superheroes wear costumes. And quite frankly, all the black leather is making people nervous.

• Cyclops : You all may have perfectly good reasons for not wanting to do this. But you're the team I chose. So think about it.

  Beast : Am I the only one who's dying to see these outfits?

• Cyclops : Looks like our "friend" is gone.

  Beast : Without so much as a "this isn't over". There's simply no etiquette nowadays.

• Cyclops : Kitty, you're our computer whiz, so start running down Benetech. I want to know exactly who's funding this research. Hank's in the lab. Emma, check the students. I'm going to contact some of the other teams, see how far this is reaching.

  Wolverine : Me?

  Cyclops : Have a beer and stay away from Hank.

  Wolverine : It's a plan.

• Nick Fury : Somebody's gonna die. You know how I know this? 'Cause I'm gonna kill 'em.

  Cyclops : ...What are a bunch of second-rate mercs doing with SHIELD weaponry that isn't even in the field yet?

  Nick Fury : If I knew that, I'd be killing somebody already

• Emma Frost : Kitty thinks I'm mentally controlling everything you say

  Cyclops : ...But you're not, right?

  Emma Frost : You will never see me naked again.

• Emma Frost : [to a group of soldiers]  You feel no pain. You will go straight to a hospital. Remember nothing of this place. And every time you hear the words "parsley", "intractable", and "longitude", you will vomit uncontrollably for 48 hours.

  Cyclops : Nice work, X-Men. My girlfriend is very weird.

• Cyclops : We got Pete

  Beast : Hell of a thing. Boy's named Rasputin, should've known he wouldn't be that easy to kill.
