Fierce talons of pain... that scrape my back, bringing forth... leathery wings! My body... my face... my very soul... they are changed... transformed... filled with a bursting, billowing power... power for good... or power for evil! And I choose... evil! An evil so great... so monumental that only one name in the annals of literature will contain it! The name of Tolkien's ultimate villain... that Dark Lord who personified evil... who was truly evil incarnate...! The name of... Sauron!!

Sauron	For too long have I been content to rule an isolated kingdom at the edge of the world! Now, Sauron--
Stegron	And Sssstegron...
Sauron	Yes, and Stegron. Now we saurians shall retake our rightful place as rulers of the Earth! The time has come to reassert reptilian dominance, wrongly usurped by your warm-blooded treachery! Welcome to our newest colony! Welcome to New Savage Island!
Spider-Man	Hold up, is this Staten Island?! (Maybe I do wish we were in the Savage Land after all.)

Sauron	With the DNA we liberated from the grave desecration you call a museum, I have perfected the saurianization process. You rice paper puppets will be given forms befitting Earth's dominant species.
Spider-Man	You can rewrite DNA on the fly, and you're using it to turn people into dinosaurs? But with tech like that, you could cure cancer!
Sauron	But I don't want to cure cancer. I want to turn people into dinosaurs.

—Spider-Man and the X-Men Vol 1 2

Curse	I sometimes don't feel well when I make the good wishes. Please don't ask me why I don't like making the good ones.
Sauron	I would never! BEING BAD IS FUN!
