Red Tornado quotes from Young Justice

Red Tornado

Mission assignments are the Batman's responsiblity.

But it's been over a week and nothing...

Red Tornado

You'll be tested soon enough. For the time being, simply enjoy each other's company.

Kaldur'ahm

This team is not a social club.

Red Tornado

No. But I am told social interaction is an important team-building exercise. Perhaps you can keep busy by familiarizing yourselves with the cave.

Wally West

Batman, Aquaman, Flash, they'd all have jumped right in to fix things.

Guess if we're going to have a baby-sitter, heartless machine is exactly what we need.

Wally West

DUDE! Harsh!

Red Tornado

And inaccurate. I have a heart, carbon-steel alloy. I also have excellent hearing.

Right. I'll strive to be... more accurate.

Kaldur'ahm

And more respectful.

Wally West

Speedy was so wrong.

This team thing?

Kaldur'ahm

Might just work out.

Sorry

Red Tornado

This is Kent Nelson, a friend. He is 106 years old...

Wally West

Guy doesn't look a day over 90.

Red Tornado

...and he has been missing for twenty-three days. Kent was a charter member of the Justice Society, the precursor to your mentors' Justice League.

Kaldur'ahm

Of course. Nelson was Earth's sorcerer supreme! He was Doctor Fate!

Wally West

(scoffs) More like "Doctor Fake." Guy knows a little advanced science and "Dumbledores" it up to scare the bad guys and impress the babes.

I cannot be sure if one exists. And if it does, the team is being betrayed from within. I must investigate without tipping my hand. But perhaps I should tell Batman.

Red Tornado

Generally, the Batman prefers the team to handle its own problems, but it's your decision. I will return after monitor duty on the Watchtower.

I thought you were exempt from monitor duty since becoming our... den mother.

Red Tornado

I agreed to cover for Green Arrow. He has a interpersonal event with Black Canary-- a "hot date."

Red Tornado

We must stop him.

Why? One we believe we lived. Now there is only Red Inferno and Red Torpedo. Why should we help save humanity when we are no longer human?

Red Tornado

The premise of your question is flawed. You were never human. but you were heroes.

Hello Megan! You wanted to become more human.

Artemis

And you couldn't do that with the League. They're stiffs.

You're sure not going to learn emotion from Batman. Trust me.

Then the cave was not a proving ground only for us - but for you as well.

Red Tornado

I do not know if those statements are accurate - but perhaps they are true. And if I understand the term correctly, I believe I have come to - care about you all.

See? Practically a meatbag already.

Red Tornado

I must join the League. We will protect the planet at all costs. But should we fail, the responsibility falls to you.

We stand ready.

Red Tornado

Red Tornado to Cave. I fear I am all that remains of the League.

RT!

We are Earth's heroes now.

So what are we waiting for? A theme song?

A strategy. Earth's weapons are ineffective. And it has been made tragically clear that a direct attack will not succeed

Batman

As bad as all that?

Perhaps worse.

Red Tornado

Yet this is not what troubles you.

Make no mistake. My niece is untrained and cannot be held responsible for this - for our debacle.

Batman

No one blames her. But clearly we underestimated her abilities.

You understate it. In terms of raw power, she has the strongest telepathic mind I have ever encountered. Stronger, by far, than mine.

Superman

No. Red Arrow may be 18, but the rest of the team is too young. We're not inducting children into the League. (Captain Marvel fidgets with his collar)

That seems myopic. I have been one with Kid Flash and Aqualad. Both are ready.

Wonder Woman

And what of Zatanna?

ABSOLUTELY NOT!

Wonder Woman

That sounded almost protective, Doctor. At least we still know Zatara's still in that helmet somewhere.

Why is Doctor Fate a member? You coerced Zatara into giving up his life to you, or lose his only daughter instead. Not cool.

Red Tornado

Should such behavior be condoned?

Zatara desires Doctor Fate to remain in the League.

Green Arrow

Oh, please.

It is true. Zatara's trust in Nabu is...measured. He desires the League to maintain a close watch upon us.
