—"Blade"Your friends have decided that they will not simply lie down and die. Which I could forgive... but they have had the temerity to try to inspire hope in this doomed world. And that, I cannot countenance. Not when my triumph is at hand. So from the antediluvian caves of Wakanda... to New York City, which will serve as the grave of the Avengers... I will drop my great prize, which has not seen the sky since the days of Old Atlantis, upon their city... so that it might be their tombstone.
