'''Lovecraft:''' ''Ah!'' Look, it's attempting to ''communicate''. No doubt the savage thing knows language as a house pet knows its reflection in the mirror. The sense is taken in, but the process, the ''meaning'', is forever lost.
'''Robo:''' Yer razzin' me.
'''Lovecraft:''' See how vainly it cobbles together a string of sounds not unlike words? Take. Us. To. [[Nikola Tesla|Magic. Thunder. Man.]]<br />

* In the comic ''[[Runaways]]'', there's a storyline where the team finds themselves in America in the 1800s. There, they meet a girl named Klara Prast. Klara is more upset at the possibility of them recruiting her for a union than the fact that she was forced by her parents to marry a man who is old enough to be her father, and who beats her and is implied to rape her. Molly fails to realize this when Klara alludes to it. [[Mama Bear|Karolina does]]. Later, Klara refers to Xavin in female, black form as a "negress" and is disgusted at female Xavin and Karolina being intimate. Presumably, this trope is also the reason Xavin spends the story arc primarily as a white male, as opposed to his/her usual form of a black woman.
