Viper Quotes

With her many years of being in comics and many years of being a comic book villian, Viper has her share of many interesting and sometimes ridiculously funny quotes. Viper's enjoyable and extrodinary lack of grasp with reality and sanity is obvious with many of the following quotations.


From Beast 3:

(To Karma) "Spiral's overgrown trolls here may prevent me from personally delievering the pain your depraved clan deserves...but I will still see you suffer for your uncle's sins. I will savor the fear in your eyes, at least, as our host begins to work her magic instead...As you start to understand what you're losing, and to whom...As the blood begins to show..."

"Just make sure it hurts..."


From Captain American 282:

(To the Constrictor) Were it not for my fascination with the world's crawling vermin...In both their reptillian and human forms..I would have never freed you from prison and placed you in a position of autority within my organization! Please do not make me regret my decision...for you would not like the pain my regret would bring you!"

"What is on my mind, dear enemy is your America...An America very much embodied in the town beneath which this command center is built. Oh, you would no doubt adore Hartsdale, Captain America. It's a throwback in many ways, small, friendly, idyllic. A place of cheery smiles and warm words that could have sprung out of a Norman Rockwell painting. But peel away the paint, Captain..and the truth will sink its teeth into your throat. Because for every cheery smile, there is a corrupt human heart...for every warm word, A muttered malediction. Hartsdale, like all America, is built on a foundation of lies!"

"Early in life, Captain America, I saw my European homeland razed by revolution, saw my parents slaughtered, saw my sisters defiled and discarded. I understood then how hopelessly corrupt the human animal is. Also, that is the stinking truth your America seeks to disguise with perfume and powders...A horror you lock away in pre-fabricated houses, kept dreamy-eyed and docile by plug-in drugs!"

"And that is why humankind's end must..and will..begin here, in the very heart of deception! You see, Captain, my scientists have been hard at work developing the means of man's eradication. WE began experimenting with my precious snakes..then moved on to human subjects, testing and re-testing until we were absolutely certain...that the bubonic plague the fearsome "black death" that ravaged this Earth in the fourteenth century...had been ressurrected...more deadly..more devestating...more uncontrollable than ever before!"

"The new plague will slither through Hartsdale, riding the backs of snakes infected with the strain. Within weeks, the quaint little city... will be no more! But the "black death"..ah it will be alive and well... moving out across the world, eyes gleaming, jaws wide...devouring everything in its path! Sweet angel of death...in the body of a snake."

"Sleep well, Captain! Sleep long! Soon we shall all sleep...the sleep of the dead!"



From Captain American 283:

"This is all too perfect! Before unleashing my master plan upon the world, I very much want to pay back those few animals who dared best me in the past!"

When the clock tower in the town square tolls the final midnight bell, trap doors at the base of each balloon will be keyed open...and the hundreds of plague-infected snakes secreted within will pour, like venom-rain upon Hartsdale. Disease and death shall slither through the crowds! The fall of that vile beast called man shall be assured! The final age of darkness...shall descend!"

(To Constrictor as he tries to foil her scheme) "You'll do nothing, fool...save die with the rest!"

"Death! There must be death!"



From Captain American 342:

(To the members of the Serpent Society unwilling to follow her new leadership) "You have less than an hour to change your minds about joining me. Then you'll be dead."

From New Mutants 6:

(In regards to Dani Moonstar) "All in good time, warrior, I wish her death to be artistic. That takes some thought...Also, I wam curious about her powers."

(To the Silver Samurai) "You am my champion, and my friend. When we finish our business here, I suggest we depart for Tokyo...to claim what is rightfully yours. And should the Lady Mariko and her paramour, Wolverine, object...they will die!"

From Uncanny X-Men 173:

"Be quick, be efficient. I want no witnesses...no survivors."

"A noble gesture X-Man, I hope your compeers appreciate your sacrifice."


From Wolverine 131:

(In reference to Wolverine) "Logan's desire to unite the country to prevent a bloody power struggle combined with the respect my symbolic union with him brought me...left the people of Madripoor no choice but to kneel before me as the undisputed leader of their vast underworld. For a time I ached for my new husband's death, but I soon realized that his usefulness to me had not ended. Now I plan to continue to make his married life very difficult indeed."

From Wolverine 167:

(To Wolverine) "You're here to compete in the tournament. As Madripoor's leading crime-lord, it is my honor to oversee the bloodsport...and let me say, having already met this year's crop of combatants, not to mention our reigning champion... Oh, Logan..I fear you'll be make me a widow before long!"


From Wolverine 169:

(To Wolverine) "Uhh...I ask you...for help fighting Ogun..and you gut me? Don't be snide! This changes everything. I'm not honoring our agreement."

"Okay, you son of a...You win. Your debt to me is paid, you've got the divorce, just get me to the damn doctor. But mark my words, Logan... If it takes me until the end of time...I will see you did for this...Do you here me? Dead!!"
