X-Men: Prime (Writer: Scott Lobdell)
Marrow: Everything is almost ready. After much time living below. . .the first among us will be called. A single candle will light his way. And we. . .the colony once named "Morlocks" will never sup nor sleep nor scurry in darkness again! Generation X #6 (Writer: Scott Lobdell)
Emma Frost: Why did you kill them?
Marrow: Because they were human. Because they got to live and laugh and party upworld while
my "ancestors" the Morlocks were always sentenced to muck and mire and mud. All that, aaand. .
.we felt like it.
Uncanny X-Men #325 (Writer: Scott Lobdell)
Marrow: (To Storm) As leader of the Morlocks, you let me down. . .let all of us down! Look at what your weakness created. You held my life in your hands, bright lady, and you destroyed it. Uncanny X-Men #346 (Writer: Scott Lobdell)
Marrow: (To Peter Gyrich) You don't know what a threat is, human! For years you've been afraid of us. . .hated us! So many of us decided to hide. . .to try to fit in! But those days, like your pathetic lives, are over! Uncanny X-Men #347 (Writer: Scott Lobdell)
Marrow: The "natural order" is what has always separated humans from mutants, Callisto! It's what forced the more hideous mutants into this city beneath the city! It's how we Morlocks found ourselves living on the refuse of surface-dwellers! I will always fight against "the natural order of things"! X-Men #70 (Writer: Joe Kelly)
Marrow: (To Cecilia) This ain't your safe little upworlder dream anymore, pretty-pretty. This is the reality of your birthright. Pain. Death. War. Toughen up and deal with it or I guarantee we'll test the limits of that wussy force-field or yours. . .slowly. X-Men #72 (Writer: Joe Kelly)
Marrow: [Storm] turns her pretty-pretty eyes away from the truth. Things grow in the dark. . .hate is
more powerful than the sun. Sewage replaces water. Weeds strangle flowers. And no matter how
many times she cuts back the wild vine. . .it always grows back.
Marrow: Hate burns hotter than your pretty words and sleepytime dreams, and tastes better, too.
Hate is the engine, I am the machine. . .and I will never. . .ever. . .stop!
Marrow: You'll always be an angel to me, Warren. . .even if everyone else doesn't appreciate you. Uncanny X-Men #354 (Writer: Steve Seagle)
Marrow: (To Rogue) You don't have to make up excuses for me. I saw what you were doing. You an' me are two of a kind at heart. I just snuck back in to take care of some private business and now I'm going again. Your secret's safe with me. . .for now. X-Men Unlimited #18 (Writer: Tom DeFalco)
Marrow: You humans don't know what a life is worth. But down here we learn young. Down here, death can sneak in between a breath. Remember reading about the Marauders opening hunting season on us Morlocks?. . .We didn't all die. Some lived with death branded on our brains. They didn't report that on that day, an angel came down to save us. But believe me. I was there, and the angel needed saving. Heaven came here to die. What makes you think you'll do any better? X-Men #74 (Writer: Joe Kelly)
Marrow: Light never dies, even in monsters. X-Men #75 (Writer: Joe Kelly)
Marrow: Here's your I-Dee, flatscan! We're the X-Men. We just saved your sad excuse for a world. You have a problem with this? X-Men #79 (Writer: Joe Kelly)
Marrow: [Callisto] leaves. Everybody leaves. Everyone is taken form me. . .even. . .no. Not him.
Not thinking about [Sam]. Not thinking at all. . .just punch at the world and take something back!
Marrow: Unless you've lived a whole life in the underground where "humanity" is just a word and
sunlight's just a legend, you can't understand me! Callisto is the only one who understands! The
only I can be me around because she understands loss!
Kitty: I'm impressed. . .you tagged her without severing her spinal cord, in spite of your rep.
Marrow: Funny. Funnier if you spit it out through broken teeth. . .but that'll have to wait. . .
Uncanny X-Men #361 (Writer: Steve Seagle)
Marrow: (To Colossus after stealing his sketchbook) I didn't take the book because I'm mad! I took it because I liked this. It's. . .pretty. But forget it. You marshmallows do need a danger room because you wouldn't last a day in the Morlock tunnels! Uncanny X-Men #362 (Writer: Steve Seagle)
Marrow: I don't believe in goddesses. And I don't believe your mentor was any kind of god among mutants. None of us Morlocks do. Where was he when we were surviving on the refuse of humans, living in tunnels beneath Manhattan? Uncanny X-Men #363 (Writer: Steve Seagle)
Blob: Now shut up and remember our training!
Marrow: What kind of training is that? Thirty square meals a day plus snacks?
Uncanny X-Men #367 (Writer: Fabian Nicieza)
Marrow: Hey! No one's allowed to hurt the wind-rider but me! X-Men Unlimited #22 (Writer: Brian K. Vaughan)
Marrow: I boosted an old set of walkie-talkies from some maintenance guys in the tunnels. Kitty: I'm just trying to understand you. Marrow: (To Flag-Smasher regarding his bomb) Diffuse it now or I start carving out your organs in alphabetical order.
Storm: "Boosted?"
Gambit: You stole radios?
Marrow: Gimme a break! I'm gonna get lectured on taking things that aren't mine by a pickpocket and a member of the thieve's guild?
Marrow: A beautiful girl like you would never understand.
Marrow: Look at the lengths we're going to trying to help Remy. Look at the sacrifices Remy made trying to protect us from whatever that energy-woman is. Maybe Magneto failed -- because in the long run, what he did has only brought us all closer together? X-Men #92 (Writer: Terry Kavanagh)
Colossus: There is something I hoped to discuss with you, but if this is an inopportune moment...
Marrow: Do us both a favor, Rusty, an' cut t' the chase. Just tell me which o' the house rules I broke this time an' exactly who do I have t'maim t'get some space around here?
Uncanny X-Men #373 (Writer: Alan Davis)
Marrow: I can't exactly control my bone-growths yet...but my mutation doesn't control me now, either. I'm changing, in more ways than one...and what I can't admit to anyone else is that it scares me. Whatever I am now...whoever I'm becomin' since hookin' up with the X-Men...I'm not alone. Not anymore. Uncanny X-Men #374 (Writer: Alan Davis)
Marrow: Look at me. I trained to be a warrior, and I got very good at it. But at what price? I kept thinking that fighting the other Morlocks was a way of fighting the system. But in reality, I was just perpetuating this system. I was doing exactly what was expected of me. All I wanted was [Mikhail's] approval. His acceptance. The acceptance of a cruel madman. X-Men Unlimited #25 (Writer: Joe Pruett)
Marrow (to Jubilee): Things change, people change. If there's one thing I've learned from Wolverine it's to never give up no matter what the odds...so quit feeling sorry for yourself and do someting productive. If he truly means as much to you as you allege, then let him know that when he comes back. I don't know about you, but I never had a chance to tell my parents how much they meant to me. Don't let that kind of opportunity pass you by. Main Page
