Let’s pro/con this superhero thing. Pro: they pull down a gaggle of ass, local dry cleaning discounts, lucrative film deals, both origin stories and larger, ensemble team movies. Con: they’re all lame- ass teacher’s pets!
Do you know what the definition of a hero is? Someone who gets other people killed.
Being Spider-Man is a sacrifice. That’s the job. That’s what you signed up for.[to Miles]

You may not have been a hero. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t be one now.[to Teth Adam]

The mark of a true hero is humility.
