1. “These are my rules. No one hurts innocent people. Got that? Good!”
This quote was spoken by Blue Beetle in Blue Beetle Vol 7 #12 as he was firing toward the enemy Reach probe. This quote represents one of Jaime’s core values as a hero. By saying, “These are my rules,” he is making it clear that he is in charge and has certain principles and standards that he adheres to. In this case, his first rule is “No one hurts innocent people.” This means that he will do everything in his power to prevent harm from coming to innocent individuals, even if it means putting himself in danger.
2. “I’m trapped on an alien spaceship, and I have no powers. But I’m the Blue Beetle. And the thing about us Blue Beetles… we don’t need no stinking powers.”
In Blue Beetle Vol 7 #24, Blue Beetle found himself on Reach Mothership without his gear, and while he was imprisoned, he uttered this iconic quote. This quote encapsulates one of the core themes of the Blue Beetle character, which is that heroism is not just about having powers but about using whatever tools you have at your disposal to do what’s right. It’s a reminder that even when things seem impossible or overwhelming, there is always a way to fight back and make a difference.
3. “I have energy beams, and you have no pants. Do the math.”
In Blue Beetle Vol 7 #17, Blue Beetle faced Typhoon, a villain with devastating weather-manipulating abilities. After a witty exchange, Typhoon expressed his gratitude that Blue Beetle wanted to talk to him first, which is unlike the rest of the heroes that usually simply attack him.

4.” Another annoying monster battle, another interrupted date… another typical night in the life of Jaime Reyes.”

Jaime transforms into a Blue Beetle, and once again, he is forced to save the day. The quote highlights one of the central themes of the Blue Beetle character, which is the tension between heroism and personal responsibility.
Jaime wants to be a hero and help people, but he also wants to live a normal life and have time for the things that matter to him, like his relationship with his girlfriend. However, his duty as a superhero often requires him to put those personal concerns aside and focus on fighting crime and saving lives.

Both Peacemaker and Jaime Reyes didn’t have a choice when it came to some matters, but they always had a choice on what their future will look like.
