Captain Atom quotes from Young Justice

The Ambassador

Secretary Tseng and I are so glad you accepted the reach's invitation to meet, Captain.

Captain Atom

The Justice League always supports peaceful diplomacy.

The Ambassador

And should diplomacy fail, you have your wanted meta powers to enforce peace.

Captain Atom

Not how we operate, ambassador. But we can discuss that in private.

The Ambassador

If you insist.

"Private meeting"?! Is this an April Fools' Day prank?! Or just another example of the League hiding their true agenda from you, the people?! Don't know why you're surprised, folks. After all, most of your heroes wear MASKS!

Captain Atom

Attention...WarWorld. This is Captain Atom of the Justice League, representing the planet Earth. We wish to open negotiations.

Mongul

But I am uninterested in negotiations. The Earth under the Reach's thumb is far too great a threat to my long-term plans. It must be destroyed. And, quite frankly, if you knew what you were in for with the Reach, you'd thank me for putting you out of your collective misery.

Captain Atom

So how do we shut them down?

I don't know, because Black Beetle didn't know, there's no failsafe, this was an endgame.

Captain Atom

The Earth is being pulled apart from the devices around the world, and the League is spread thin to advert the chaos.

It's Black Beetle's MFDs, Magnetic Field Disruptors. They're disabling Earth's magnetic field, causing these not-so-natural disasters.

Captain Atom

This is a mission of absolute importance. If we fail, there will be no Earth to save. Now, there are 20 MFDs around the world, and there are 40 of us here, so you'll be in teams of two. Each MFD is protected by two drones, and each drone is the equivalent of a beetle warrior.

Lex Luthor

Each of these eggs contains my anti-Reach virus. While one hero runs interference, the other only has to physically touch his or her egg to disarm the device. Ladies and gentlemen, the fate of the world is in your hands.

(On holographic TV) Sounds like someone's finally listening to old G. Gordon, the lone voice of reason, calling for the ouster of U.N. Secretary-General Tseng after his disastrous alliance with the Reach! Well, guess what, folks? Tseng finally resigned! You're welcome! Now, his replacement has not yet been chosen, but I think we all know only one man qualifies. The man responsible for saving all our lives from the Reach's MFDs, ladies and gentlemen, I give you...Lex Luthor!

Superman

You have got to be kidding me! (Shuts off news coverage)

Captain Atom

And on that note, I officially hand over my chairmanship of the League...to you.

Black Canary

(Sarcastically) Wow, thanks so much.
