Ultimate Gwen Stacy's monologue - Brian Michael Bendis

"It's the meteor. How do you think the dinosaurs felt that moment, just before the meteor hit? I mean--they were just, like, standing around and all of a sudden it's like, oh shit, we're extinct. I mean, that's what's going on, right? That's what you're worried about. We're extinct.
All of a sudden it's like if you don't fly--you don't survive. I mean there's, like, a guy now who can walk on walls? What's that about? And now you have to think about that fact every day of your life. The fact that you can't.
But...like, then I think about it like this: I think maybe the difference between us and the dinosaurs is--we know.
They didn't know--they didn't have a chance. But we know there are things in this world more powerful than us. But the real question is: what are us normal people--what are we going to do without powers? But see? What is, like, 'powers' anyhow? This dude right here is stronger than me, does that make him super powered? See?
Cause I have a theory--that, like, whatever you do...is your super power. You play guitar? Football? Math? Whatever you do--whatever makes you--you. That's your power. And I think--I think in this new world you're just going to be forced to do what it is that you do as best you can...or you ain't going to make it.
So maybe you won't ever have, like, mutant powers--all that means is no more sitting on your fat butt watching cartoons. It's all about what you can do that another can't. And I think if we can get into that mindset I don't think there's going to be any problems with all these super power, mutant, spider, goblin people. Because we'll all have super powers."
