Your psych profile fit like a glove. A disenchanted nobody with metahuman experience, pathological fatalism and the paranoid belief that the universe is against you. My people were simply instructed to... stimulate your natural tendencies. Isolate, emasculate, deflate. That sorta thing.

--Amanda Waller (Prime Earth)

Suddenly I saw too much evil in the world everywhere I looked. You couldn't just wish it away... This ain't no fantasy land. But if you could use that evil... force it to do some good...

I've always wanted a Justice League of my own...

You're an eccellent member of this team, Parker. And you're well-liked by the brass. Maybe someday you'll run an outfit like this. And then you'll see... you'll see what it really takes to keep the peace. And what it costs you in the process.
