X-Men 2 (2003) · 15 quotes
Tied for 3rd most-quoted character in X-Men 2 (2003): in 3 of its 15 quotes
Erik, what have you done?
Magneto I'm sorry, Charles. I couldn't help it.
What have you told Stryker?
Magneto Everything. [Xavier and Magneto notices gas being released in prison] The war has begun.
Magneto His name is Colonel William Stryker, and he invaded your mansion for one purpose; he wanted Cerebro, or enough of it to build one of his own.
But that doesn't make any sense. Stryker would need the Professor to operate it.
Magneto Which I think is the only reason my old friend is still alive.
Storm Oh my God...[She, Jean and Magneto exchange worried looks]
What are you all so afraid of?
Magneto While Cerebro is working, Charles's mind is connected to every living person on the planet. If he were forced to concentrate hard enough on a particular group-let's say, mutants, for example-he could kill us all!
Storm Wait a minute. How would Stryker even know where to find Cerebro in the first place?
Magneto Because I told him. I helped Charles build it, remember? Mr. Stryker has powerful methods of persuasion, even against a mutant as strong as Charles.
So who is this Stryker, anyway?
Magneto He's a military scientist. He spent his whole life trying to solve the 'mutant problem'. If you want a more intimate perspective, why don't you ask Wolverine? [to Wolverine] You don't remember, do you? William Stryker: The only other man I know who can manipulate adamantium. The metal on your bones. It carries his signature.
But the Professor—
Magneto The Professor trusted you were smart enough to discover this on your own. He gives you more credit than I do.
Pyro So they say you're the bad guy.
Magneto Is that what they say?
Pyro That's a dorky-looking helmet. What's it for?
Magneto This "dorky-looking helmet" is the only thing that's going to protect me from the real bad guys. [grabs Pyro's lighter with his power] What's your name?
Pyro John.
Magneto What's your real name, John?
Pyro Pyro.
Magneto That's quite a talent you have there, Pyro.
Pyro I can only manipulate the fire. I can't create it. [closes his hand, extinguishing the flames]
Magneto You are a god among insects. Never let anyone tell you different.
