1990 Series
- The team are forced to work with X-Force on a mission.
Speedball: Real Reagan-era group we're dealing with here.
Firestar: My father voted for Reagan.
Marvel Boy: Mine too, I think.
Speedball: And mine. Pretty much sums it up, doesn't it?
- Speedball sighing on his parents arguing about him either becoming a lawyer or go to Hollywood. "I'll become a courtroom artist, that'll shut them up!"
- Two Genetech executives are discussing the super-team the company created, Psionex, including Pretty Persuasions, a former stripper who can increase people's sexual desire and pleasure.
Walter: And Pretty Persuasions — well, uhm... We've simply kept her in solitary confinement. It seems she keeps — uhm — seducing — our psyche teams and lab workers...
Walter: Uhm... they all seemed to think so.
This exchange between Night Thrasher and Hindsight Lad in issue #47.
Hindsight Lad: Do you deny that I am well-versed in strategic maneuvers and computer technology?
Hindsight Lad: Well, maybe I wouldn't be as persistent if more of you asked me for my input in advance!
Night Thrasher: And maybe we'd ask for your input in advance if you weren't such a pest!
Hindsight Lad: Well, I wouldn't be such a pest if all of you didn't require pestering!
Night Thrasher: How do you argue with
logic like that?
- Issue #48 opens with Hindsight Lad boasting that he can take down the Sphinx, who has recently gotten a massive power boost and sent the main New Warriors team to various different points in time. Even the narration is aware of how absurd Hindsight Lad's arrogance is, describing the situation as "drop-your-drawers ridiculous".
2014 Series
- As everyone is held captive by High Evolutionary
- In Issue #4 Justice declares that should the threat of the Evoluntionaries come again the New Warriors would stop them. Their response to being added to the team:
Water Snake: I think not.
Haechi: No!
Nova: I kinda need to get home....
Hummingbird: YES!
Scarlet Spider: No. #$%^&. WAY.
Sun Girl: Well, you've got one.
Justice: It's a start.
- Issue 5 gives us the introduction of Felinatus, who's pretty much a living embodiment of Cats Are Mean, in between Justice and Kaine's bickering. He makes Justice scream in a panic and spend part of the fight sneezing due to allergies, then Felinatus just latches on to Kaine, who screams "Get him off me!", and then there is just Felinatus in general being a jerk to everyone by saying how he hates them (including Caninus, who nevertheless insists they are best friends), among other things such as wanting to eat their eyeballs as they sleep.
- The way the issue ends also counts. After the whole team is introduced to their new New Men friends, they are told they can be teleported anywhere they want, with Mark and Selah voting New York, Kaine voting Mexico and Aracely perkily voting for Disneyland. The group then proceeds to teleport to New York... which means the whole entire Wundagore Mountain goes along with them.
Justice: Please tell me you didn't just teleport the entire mountain to New York City.
Caninus: I did not know where Disneyland was.
- Caninus has just introduced himself and Felinatus to Vance, Faira and Kaine. Faira proceeds to say those are the worst names she has ever heard and Kaine says they should pick new names for themselves. What names did they choose? Jake Waffles and Mister Whiskers.
- While the Avengers hold them under an informal form of arrest while they determine how much they can trust the new New Warriors, Hummingbird constantly pesters Thor to let her try to hold his hammer, much to his annoyance. At the end, when Thor and everyone else is celebrating their victory over Cthon, Hummingbird is in the corner struggling to lift Mjolner.
- While fighting the Evolutionaries, Speedball starts asking Kaine if he thinks Hummingbird likes him. Kaine is less than amused, both by the question and Robbie's sense of timing to ask it.
- Issue 9, full stop. Kaine is trying to quit the team, and Justice brings him to Houston to talk him out of it—apparently not realizing just how badly the situation was when Kaine left. Coincidentally, Choke the Bear, a sports mascot that was hit by a magical meteorite and grew to enormous size and with laser vision, who apparently terrorized Houston for a time prior to Kaine's arrival as the Scarlet Spider, returns to town to battle him. Almost every interaction between Justice, Kaine, and the Bear are gold. Special mention must go to the fact that Choke is a giant mascot costume, still operated by a regular person.
