Quotes

Ronald Reagan: Time to stop woolgathering and get ready for your big scene, son.

Radioactive Man: Huh? Oh-- sorry, Mr. President. I was trying to put on my button and it slipped. Shall I fly down and get it?

Ronald Reagan: Don't you fret about it. There's plenty more where that came from. Besides, the First Lady wants to put one on you, herself.

Radioactive Man: [thinking] Wow--I can't believe Gloria questioned the President! Doesn't she know it's our duty as citizens to believe everything our leaders say?

Radioactive Man: ...Bleeding Heart!

Heart of Darkness: Ha ha! You're close, Claude... close enough for government work. But then I guess that's all you're good for these days, isn't it... ...Government work?! I know you don't read the papers, but the press has given me a new nickname. They're calling me... ...Heart of Darkness!

Radioactive Man: Huh? What kind of name is that for a hero? It sounds so... ...Grim and gritty. Hmmm... Well, gee... I guess this is farewell, huh? With that new presidential directive, I guess you'll be hanging up the ol' mask, eh? Right? Well, put 'er there, pal. It's been great having you fighting by my side and all that.

Heart of Darkness: You just don't get it, do you, flag-boy?

Radioactive Man: "Flag-boy"? I think you're confusing me with Star-Spangled Lad -- you know, with the red, white, and--

Heart of Darkness: Can it, Claude! I'm not quitting... and you're being played for a sap! The President just wants us out of the way! He's only keeping you around because you're too dumb to catch on!

Radioactive Man: Huh? Catch on to what?

Heart of Darkness: The master plan! The big conspiracy! They're subverting the Constitution -- setting up an unelected government that operates outside of congressional scrutiny.... ...in the shadows.

Radioactive Man: ...It's my counterparts from various alternate continuities! Radioactive Man-Beta, from Beta-Earth. He thinks he's the original Radioactive Man! Grrk-Grrk, A.K.A. Radioactive Ape. You'd think the ruler of a lost civilization of talking apes would have better things to do with his time. Radioactive Boy, the substitute Earth version of me. When he was a kid, he got caught in an atomic explosion... ...while trying to save that stupid dog, Glowy! Jeepers, these second bananas give me a pain! I always have to be nice to them and pretend they're just as powerful and heroic as I am!

Radioactive Man-Beta: ..then there was this crackle of energy -- you know, the kind that always accompanies some sort of dimensional shift. The next thing I knew, I was here!

Radioactive Ape: I had a similar experience. I was seated in my tribal throne room when I was enveloped by the usual type of energy field.

Radioactive Boy: The same thing happened t' me 'n' Glowy -- only without the tribal throne room part!

Glowy: Arf!

Bug Boy: It sounds to me like the place to start unravelling this puzzle is... the Betaverse! It's time to call some help!

Lure Lass: Okay, we're ready!

Captain Squid: Whoops! I guess we've missed out on this adventure, Lure Lass!

Captain Squid: [thinking] Gosh. Did she intentionally take too long doing her hair so we'd be alone together?

Radioactive Man: Well, Radioactive Man-Beta, since the Earth you once knew no longer exists and you've got nothing to live for, I guess this is the moment you make the supreme sacrifice and stay behind to fight Nega-Pneumatica, giving your life so that the rest of the universe might live. I know it was a difficult decision for you and I respect that, so I won't try to talk you out of it. So long -- it will be a good death.

Radioactive Man-Beta: Hey! Why should I give my life to save your lousy universe? You want it saved, save it yourself!

Radioactive Ape: She's shrugged off that asteroid impact! We face a moral dilemma.

Radioactive Man: You're right! The only way to stop her is to kill her -- and we've sworn never to take a life!

Radioactive Man-Beta: Hmm... well, nobody's looking -- I won't tell if you won't!

Radioactive Man: Deal!

Radioactive Ape: I'm in!

Radioactive Boy: Let's go!

Radioactive Man: It's time you learned, RB -- "with great power comes freedom from responsibility." We heroes are never to blame for the unintended consequences of our actions.
