"Billow forth, ye Mists of Munnipor! Swirl and roil in my name on the mighty Winds of Watoomb... Quell this fire, quench this flame!"

That's Doctor Strange after a fire breaks out in his Greenwich Village abode, in a story set early in his career. Hopefully he later intalled a sprinker system.
sergebroom: (Uncle Sam)
"We'd better take a closer look. This is solid intel. I even got it the old-fashioned way."
"Seduction?"
"No. I threw a snitch in front of a subway train. Then snatchd him back at the last moment... Whose's got time to be femme fatale these days?"
- a conversion between The Falcon and the Black Widow, in Captain America #614

"Well, anyway. Here. Your costume. Your spiffy new upgraded costume."
"Upgraded?"
"Better chest armor, stronger battery life. Some handy nonlethal weaponry and spy gear in the pouches. Infrared and night vision on the goggles... Got some different throwing disks now for various occasions. Sonic scream, flashbang, concussive burst... No thermonuclear, though. Sorry."
- a former SHIELD agent to the Black Widow's teenage sidekick Nomad in that same issue.
