Superboy quotes from Young Justice

Those were my favorite boots! This Nelson guy better be worth it.

Can I keep it?

Well, maybe "Tommy" refuses to live in "Tuppence"'s stupid little fantasy world where every problem's solved in half-an-hour!

I've been using these. Shields. They suppress my human DNA. I get the flight, the heat vision. But I think I also get angry. Well, angrier.

Kid, you may just change my mind about monkeys yet!

I hate monkey suits.

Wha-what if he wasn't?

He can talk?

Yes, he can.

Not like I said, "it."

The Genomorph taught you.

They taught me much. I can read, write. I know the names of things.

But have you seen them? Have they actually let you see the sky or the moon?

Images are implanted in my mind, but no. I have not seen them.

Do you know what you are, who you are?

I am the Superboy, a Genomorph, a clone made from the DNA of the Superman, created to replace him should he perish, to destroy him should he turn from the light.

To be like Superman is a worthy aspiration, but, like Superman, you deserve a life of your own beyond that solar suit, beyond your pod, beyond Cadmus.

I live because of Cadmus! It is my home!

Your home is a test tube. We can show you the sun.

Uh, pretty sure it's after midnight, but we can show you the moon.

We can show you, introduce you to Superman.

Mark Desmond

No they can't!

You here to save us or fry us?

Huh. I don't seem to have heat vision, so I suppose helping is my only option. (frees Robin)

Finally. Lucky Batman isn't here. He'd have my head for taking so long.

Seriously?! That's what you're worried about? The whole League'll have our heads after tonight!

I'm falling. Superman can fly. Why can't I fly?

Don't know, but it does look like you can leap tall buildings in a single bound. Still cool.

Perhaps for the sake of all genomorphs, our brother Superboy should make up his own mind.

It was you.

Yes, brother. I set the fire and lured your new friends into Cadmus, woke them when they were in danger...

And guided me. Why?

Because you are our hope, the genomorph hero. you will blaze a trail for all our brothers, showing us the way to freedom. What is your choice, brother?

I... choose... freedom.

(as Superboy fights) Superboy. The goal is escape. Not to bury ourselves here.

YOU WANT ESCAPE?

See? The Moon!

And Superman. Do we keep our promises, or what?

Batman

[looking at Superboy] Is that what I think it is?

He doesn't like being called an "it."

I'm Superman's clone!

Batman

...Start talking.

Batman

Cadmus will be investigated, all 52 levels. But let's make one thing clear:

You should have called us.

Batman

End results aside, we're not happy. You hacked Justice League systems, disobeyed direct orders, and endangered lives. You will not be doing this again.

I am sorry, but we will.

Aqualad, stand down.

Apologies, my king, but no. We did good work here tonight, the work you trained us to do. Together on our own we forged something powerful, important.

If this is about your treatment at the Hall, the three of you...

The four of us, and it's not.

Batman, we're ready to do what you taught us, or why teach us at all?

Why let them tell us what to do? It's simple. Get on board or get out of the way.

[telepathically] Don't worry, Superboy. We'll find you an Earth name too.

GET OUT OF MY HEAD!

[telepathically] What's wrong? I- I don't understand. Everyone on Mars communicates telepathically.

Kaldur'ahm

M'Gann, stop! Things are different of Earth. Here, your powers are an extreme invasion of privacy!

Wally West

Besides, Cadmus's creepy little psychic genomes left a bad taste in his brain.

I-I didn't mean to...

Just... stay... out!

Kaldur'ahm

And your clothes?

They're organic like the ship, they respond to my mental commands.

As long as they're the only ones.
