While Jughead's beginning on the show was somewhat questionable, as some people called him a "toxic nice guy," he's had several decent moments throughout the years. It might not have been alright to write about his friends and the crimes in their town without asking for consent, but he protested for better funding at Southside High.

He gave his father a second chance despite having many reasons not to, and was incredibly brave and strong during his time on the streets. Jughead also loves Betty, even if that love is extremely flawed at times.

He was smart enough to help others and did so several times, and his superpowers have also come in handy in several circumstances. That's what makes him an interesting character and why you should check out these 59 Jughead quotes.

In Season 6, "Riverdale" introduced superpowers caused by the explosion by Hiram Lodge, and Jughead developed the ability to read minds. At first, it seemed like the only consequence of the incident was that Jughead had lost a significant part of his hearing, but then, he was able to read the minds of everyone at a city council.

Eventually, some of the others, like Betty, Reggie, Veronica, and Moose, showed their own super-abilities. Aside from mind-reading, Jughead was able to tap into past memories, which developed into "telepathic erasure," as he can eliminate things from people's minds.

It's hard to say how "Riverdale" will end, but you can find out all about their real-life romances here. You can also check out quotes from another CW show, "The Vampire Diaries," and if you like all kinds of teenager shows, enjoy these 35 "Glee" quotes.
