Billy Batson: Holy moley! Is this all for me, Mr. Kent?::Clark Kent: Since you ate two breakfasts yesterday, I thought I'd better order you three today!
Clark Kent: What's that on your face?::Billy Batson: [bruises on his cheek] Eh, it's what you get for trying to do good. Should've just kept my mouth shut.
Black Adam: [to Billy] I was not expecting a child. But you are marked by the Wizard's energy, chosen to one day inherit the mantle of power.::Billy Batson: I-I don't understand. What do you want from me?::Black Adam: Your life.
Black Adam: You fight for the Wizard?::Superman: I fight for those you can't fight for themselves!
Black Adam: Indeed, you are my physical match. But I sense one critical difference: a vulnerability to magic.::[hurls lightning at Superman]::Superman: [blasts Black Adam] Another difference: heat vision.
Shazam: I was hoping this moment could wait until you were a bit older. Alas, the threat is upon us now, Billy Batson.::Billy Batson: You know my name?::Shazam: Oh, I know many things. For I am the Wizard, Shazam.::Billy Batson: Whoa.
Black Adam: I did not spend 5,000 years traveling across the infinite void of space to be thwarted by some man-child.::Superman: Will a superman do, then?
Superman: So you're what this is all about.::Captain Marvel: I'm his replacement.::Superman: Then let's replace him.
Black Adam: [grabs a woman from her car] Is this who I was to protect? Why, because they are weak?::Captain Marvel: Put her down!::Black Adam: When you crush an ant beneath your foot, do feel remorse? No. Is this because you are evil or because you recognize yourself as a higher form of life? This is what the Wizard could not understand. If I have the powers of the gods, then I am not a god myself? Should I not be treated as such?::Captain Marvel: Put her down!::Black Adam: You want to be a protector? Then protect the soul. Revert to your mortal form and I will prove a benevolent deity.::Captain Marvel: And then you'll just kill me.::Black Adam: I will.::Captain Marvel: Shazam. [turns into Billy]::Billy Batson: Now put her down.::Black Adam: See? Like an ant.::[Black Adam throws woman into the sky]::Billy Batson: No! Shaz...::Black Adam: [covers Billy's mouth] Your last breath wasted on the wrong word.
Superman: Easy there. You've got him.::Black Adam: It changes you, does it not? The power.::Captain Marvel: It only changes that I can choose my own fate now.::Black Adam: Like a god, maybe.::Superman: That's enough.::Captain Marvel: No, I have to. To protect them.::Superman: How? By being like him?::Captain Marvel: By being stronger than him.::Superman: Then be strong. Be good.
Green Arrow is a fictional character, a superhero that appears in comic books published by DC Comics. Created by Mort Weisinger and George Papp, he first appeared in More Fun Comics #73 in November 1941. His secret identity is Oliver Queen, billionaire and former mayor of fictional Star City. Dressed like Robin Hood, Green Arrow is an archer who invents trick arrows with various special functions, such as glue arrows, net, explosive, time bomb, grappling, fire extinguishing, flash and tear gas arrows, as well as cryonic arrows, and even a kryptonite arrow. Originally developed as an archery-themed analogue of the very popular Batman character, writers at DC have developed Green Arrow into a voice of left-wing and progressive politics very much distinct in character from Batman, with his own supporting cast.
Throughout his first twenty-five years, Green Arrow was not a significant hero. In the late 1960s, however, writer Denny O'Neil chose to have him lose his fortune, giving him the then-unique role of streetwise crusader for the working class and the disadvantaged. In 1970, he was paired with the more law-and-order-oriented hero Green Lantern in a groundbreaking, socially conscious comic book series. Since then, he has been popular among comic book fans and most writers have taken an urban, gritty approach to the character. The character was killed off in the 1990s and replaced by a new character, Oliver's son Connor Hawke, the second Green Arrow; however, Hawke proved a less popular character, and the original Oliver Queen character was resurrected in the 2001 "Quiver" storyline. In the 2000s, the character has been featured in bigger storylines focusing on Green Arrow and the character Black Canary, such as the DC event The Green Arrow/Black Canary Wedding and the high-profile Justice League: Cry for Justice storyline, the climax of which sees Green Arrow becoming a morally ambiguous anti-hero.[citation needed]
Black Canary is the name of two fictional characters, DC Comics superheroines created by writer Robert Kanigher and artist Carmine Infantino. The first Black Canary debuted in Flash Comics #86 (August 1947). The first Black Canary was the alter-ego of Dinah Drake, who took part in Golden Age adventures and married Gotham City detective Larry Lance. Among the first generation of superheroes, she was a member of the Justice Society of America, the first superhero team to appear in comic books.
Her daughter Dinah Laurel Lance, is the second Black Canary, who has appeared in modern stories and joined the Justice League. She first appeared in Justice League of America #219 (October 1983). This Black Canary is noted for her martial arts skills and her "Canary Cry" – a high powered, sonic scream with the ability to shatter objects and incapacitate villains.
Black Canary is ranked as the 71st greatest comic book character of all time by Wizard.IGN also placed Black Canary as the 81st greatest comic book hero of all time. She was ranked 26th in Comics Buyer's Guide's "100 Sexiest Women in Comics" list.
