Comic Book Excerpts:
hate

BELOW: After the Chitauri bomb the Ultimates' headquarters, Captain America thinks about how much he hates the Chitauri alien invaders. He also thinks about God and prophecy.

Resentment was so thick in the back of his throat that he could practically spit it out. God, he hated them. Hated them worse than he'd ever hated the Nazis or the Japs. He would have killed them all himself, shot them in the back as they fled. If God Himself came down and gave Steve Rogers the gift of prophecy, and he knew that the Chitauri would leave tomorrow and never come back, he would still have killed them as they fled onto their ships.

BELOW: J. Jonah Jameson's hatred for Spider-Man is evident in how he reacts to Carol Danvers mentioning him: When newly hired Woman magazine editor Carol Danvers mentions Spider-Man, J. Jonah Jameson reacts strongly. Jameson's hatred of Spider-Man is clearly evident when he yells at Danvers: "Don't ever mention that name in this office! EVER! GET OUT!" This panel also demonstrates Jameson's general disdain for super-heroes and his nascent hatred for Ms. Marvel. Even though Ms. Marvel saved Jameson from being killed by the Scorpion, Jameson still wants Carol Danvers to write an exposé on her. He is infuriated by how (in his opinion) she made a fool out of him when she rescued him.

BELOW: J. Jonah Jameson: I hate super-heroes! J. Jonah Jameson hires Carol Danvers to be the new editor of Woman magazine. Her first assignment is to write an expose on New York's newest super-hero, Ms. Marvel. When Danvers asks why, Jameson explains: "This is something else, something MORE IMPORTANT [than fashion]. I HATE super-heroes, Miss Danvers. HATE THEM!"

BELOW: Ms. Marvel wonders where J. Jonah Jameson's "anti-superhero crusade" has gone when he needs to be rescued by her from the Scorpion: J. Jonah Jameson is being held captive by the villainous Scorpion, who intends to kill him. When Ms. Marvel arrives on the scene, Jameson pleads with her to rescue him. Note how Ms. Marvel uses the word "crusade" in connection to Jameson's strident anti-superhero stance. This word, commonly used with religious ventures, illustrates the religious-like zeal with which Jameson hates super-heroes generally and Spider-Man specifically.

BELOW: The Hulk and Namor the Sub-Mariner join forces, united in their hatred for humanity: Upon meeting the Hulk for the first time, Prince Namor tells the green behemoth: "We BOTH share a burning hatred for the human race! If we act TOGETHER, we can bring humanity to its knees!" The Hulk concurs, saying, "I hate humans, too!" Their shared hatred for humans is somewhat ironic, given he fact that Namor is half-human and the Hulk's alter-ego is fully human.

BELOW: The Hulk's irrational hatred of humanity is not shared by his Bruce Banner, his alter-ego: During a battle with the Avengers, the stress the Hulk is experiencing causes him to revert to his normal form: Bruce Banner. Banner does no hate humanity (he is, after all, completely human). He has no desire to battle the Avengers. He simply flees the scene, leaving his temporary ally the Sub-Mariner to face the super team alone. The Hulk's hatred of humanity may seem irrational, given the fact that the Hulk is actually a human, Bruce Banner. But this hatred is understandable on one level when one considers the fact that the Hulk is not really a distinct individual, but is a manifestation of Bruce Banner's negative emotions, primarily his inner rage and hatred.

BELOW: After the Hulk (as Bruce Banner) flees the battle against the Avengers, his ally Sub-Mariner finds yet another reason to hate humanity: Namor exclaims: "He DESERTED me... BETRAYED me! Now I realize NO human can be trusted! I despise you ALL!"
