Quotes[]

I'd say... six hundred thousand ships... mean volume...? Hm. About five hundred cubic kilometers... enough environment to support maybe... three hundred aliens per ship... a hundred eighty million or so, total. I'm going to kill every last one of them.

-- Solar, Man of the Atom

Bang... Zoom... Whoosh. Another three hundred explosively decompress. Amazing how calm I feel, considering... but they deserve it. I've never been so sure of anything in my life. I have no more sympathy for them than Salk had for the Polio virus.

-- Solar, Man of the Atom

I am Solar--! The Polish Sun God! -- Nevermore seek to bedevil this fair lady, or 'pon my path, you shall rue such indiscretion! -- Begone, base villain! Never again stir the ire of...Solar!

-- Phil Seleski

How did you do that?

-- Gayle Nordheim

I used to read Thor comics.

-- Phil Seleski

All...are sentient. Sacred...are the plant-forms. All else is prey. We are the hunters. It is given to us...of our gods...to cleanse the universe of all which is not sacred. Then we will die in...bliss.
