Jonathan Cake: The Shade, Richard Swift

Quotes 

• The Shade : Don't you know there's a difference between bad and evil?

• The Shade : Ah, hello, Ms. Whitmore. I know who you are.

  Courtney Whitmore : And I know what you're planning, Shade. You want the black diamond so you can team up with Eclipso to do... something bad. We're going to stop you.

  The Shade : A supervillain team-up. Really? That's the vast scope of your imagination?

  Courtney Whitmore : It happens. Icicle and Brainwave.

  The Shade : I'll ignore the insult of comparing me to those two incompetents. But by far, the greater slight is assuming I seek to conspire with Eclipso.

  Courtney Whitmore : Why wouldn't you? You're just as bad as he is. You killed Doctor Mid-Nite.

  The Shade : Oh, my. And said with such conviction. You were there, I assume.

  Courtney Whitmore : Pat was.

  The Shade : Oh, yes, of course. Dear old Stripesy. You know, it's interesting the things he chooses to tell you and those he doesn't, you poor, deluded... child.

• The Shade : I've been called wicked more than once. A law broken here, rule bent there, the odd life taken. But nobody that didn't deserve it. Eclipso, on the other hand... he killed McNider's daughter. She was ten years old.

  Courtney Whitmore : Wait. What? Eclipso killed Dr. McNider's daughter?

  The Shade : Mm. Now look. A moment ago, you were so sure of everything. When I find the black diamond, I intend to throw it in the deepest, darkest part of the ocean so that Eclipso may never hurt anyone ever again.

  Courtney Whitmore : Why would you do that?

  The Shade : Oh, well um... living as long as I have... I'm bored. But really... leave this... all... to me.
