Karma Girl quotable quotes

Check out these quotes by some of the city's most notable citizens in Karma Girl, the first Bigtime book:

The heroes say ...

"In the end, it was ridiculously easy. There was always someone the superhero saved over and over and over again, whether it was a wanna-be girlfriend or boyfriend or a kindly widowed aunt. All you had to do was find that special person and see who was closet to them. Then, bada-bing, bada-boom, you found your superhero."

– Investigative reporter Carmen Cole

on how easy it is to unmask superheroes

"I'm Fiera, for crying out loud. Protector of the innocent. Defender of democracy. I don't cheat people."

– Fiera, the superhot superhero

on dealing with public naysayers

"I have a gift, powers I can use to help others, powers I can use for good. It's a calling for me. It's something I have to do."

 – Striker, the leader of the Fearless Five on why he's a superhero

"Mind-melding can give you one killer headache, particularly if you run into a nasty virus or security firewall on the Internet."

– Hermit, the computer whiz of the Fearless Five

commenting on his superpower

"Nicely done, although I would have stuck around for the TV cameras. It's always good to remind people just how heroic and noble you are."

– Swifte, the city's fastest hero,

complimenting another superhero on a rescue

The villains talk back ...

"Always so demanding."

– Frost, an ubervillain and member of the Terrible Triad

on dealing with his boss, Malefica

 – Malefica to Frost, interupting his attempt to explain

his latest scientific experiment

"He's not so tough once you beat on him a little while."

– Scorpion, the muscle of the Terrible Triad talking about Striker

Other noteworthy citizens ...

"Sadly, that's one commodity I can't quite seem to get my hands on. I'm working on it, though."

– Information trader and computer hacker Lulu Lo to Carmen Cole, lamenting her inability to conjure up superheroes on command

too much of the city."
