Victor Van Damme is alive. And he just tried to kill us.

Ultimate Fantastic Four Vol 1 9

It's like everywhere I go there's another Vic Van Damme, another Mole Man. They're all the frickin' same.

Ultimate Fantastic Four Vol 1 16

Why did you have to be a jerk? All I ever wanted was someone who was glad to see me for the right reasons. And now look at you. You stupid jerk.

Ultimate Fantastic Four Vol 1 18

You don't have to be Spider-Man anymore. It's your choice.

Ultimate Spider-Man Vol 1 104

I keep thinking about what Threshold said. That Thanos would come back. I think I can do something about that. I've got an idea for a--a kind of weapon. Something really new.

Ultimate Fantastic Four Vol 1 38

Infallible? We'll see.

Ultimate Fantastic Four Vol 1 45

I've been--sick. Crazy. I don't know how, or why. But I'm okay now.

You always were just a teeny bit smarter than me.

Ultimate Mystery Vol 1 3

So this is the world. Can you see... can you see what you have made? How do you stand the disappointment?

Ultimate Comics Ultimates Vol 1 1

Now...if I was a villain--if I was evil--I would have the Knife kill you, Thor... Instead... I have mercy... mercy for the man who will be my messenger. Call it, mercy for fond memories.

Ultimate Comics Ultimates Vol 1 4

You are Death, the first and last of a generation. Where there is life, you will end it. Where there was hope, it will die. You are the last days... The end of an era... The boy who killed America.

That barbaric hood is no longer necessary. I want your eyes wide open. Welcome to tomorrow--Tony Stark.

Ultimate Comics Ultimates Vol 1 11

Heroes. Villains. Good guys. Bad guys. Here's what you don't understand: this is not a world of absolutes. This is a world of confusion and of death and of misery. Until we use these gems. These fix the mistakes. These reset everything.

Ultimate Comics Ultimates Vol 1 25

This is what we've done in our first twenty-four hour. There is much, much more to come. The three of us have all committed horrible crimes, and we understand your fear. I assure you it is well deserved. But we will do what we can to win you back, to convince you that we are truly only interested in the good of mankind. Oh, and, one more thing... Ultimates... if you're watching--hell, I know you are--this is how you save the world.

If today proved anything... If we survived this to fight another day... Anything is possible.

Well... Isn't this fascinating.

Avengers Vol 5 41

Me? I'm Reed Richards. The ultimate Reed Richards. The one who's finally going to solve everything. I'm the Maker, Doctor Ho... and you're dead.

New Avengers Vol 4 13

How is this even happening? da Costa... he's a gadfly. A champagne-swilling playboy. How? How did he make this happen?

New Avengers Vol 4 15

Actually, old friend... there's been a change of plan. A.I.M. will wait. For now, we'll have to get what we need elsewhere. So... Plan B. Start tracking Air Force One. We mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger.

New Avengers Vol 4 16

Oh, a great deal is wrong with Eddie. There's the obvious post-traumatic psychic scarring that comes from fighting a god... and then there's the alien life-form attached to his central nervous system that has infuriatingly placed him into a coma-like stasis. Aside from that? To answer your actual question... he has quite a lot of cancer.

Venom Vol 4 10

If I have to send another body across dimensions to get back here because I died defending these worthless children, I am going to be quite put out.

Future Foundation Vol 1 3

They'll lead us to the Molecule Man piece!

Future Foundation Vol 1 4

I'm going someplace I can call my own. Someplace I can create as was intended at my creation.

Ultimate Invasion Vol 1 1

Once, I remade myself--from ordinary hero to Maker. Once, I remade a city--and in it, I lived a thousand years and crashed the future into the present. But I look back now on all I accomplished with nothing but regret... and the shame of a man who imagined much, much too small. I can do so much better.

Ultimate Invasion Vol 1 2

You are Death, the first and last of a generation. Where there is life, you will end it. Where there was hope, it will die. You are the last days... The end of an era... The boy who killed America.

Death (Children of Tomorrow) (Earth-1610)

I'm Reed Richards. The ultimate Reed Richards. The one who's finally going to solve everything.

Reed Richards (Earth-1610)

Who knows what happens when you send a- a nougat cluster or chocolate into a negative dimension. I could be sending them a bomb for all I know... or poison.

Sure...

I'll probably send them a couple of toys.

Why would you send them your toys?

Just to say hi.

Uh, you're not going to go and try to send yourself, are you?

Fighting my way out of something. This is not me.

I've never been in a fight in my life.

But Ben and Johnny- it's like they were born for it.

Reed, don't even try to--

Or else I am going to let Ben give you a swirly in the zero-gravity toilet. After he's used it.

You are a terrorist. I liked you better when you were scared of your own shadow.

You're--mad. You're raving mad.

If it's mad to think the unthinkable then I'm the maddest thinker there ever was

You. Military-industrial-complex drone girl. Bring us beer.

Sure. How far up your backside would you like it rammed?

Well, I was going to ask for a keg, so...

Reed, Reed... Thor's getting us a keg!

Mr. Stark and I are going to reconfigure a star drive.

Dude... keg!

Dude. Star Drive.

You're sick, Reed.

What's wrong?

I'll tell you what's wrong--we've got to find Sue. Your early translations were off by a mile. Call Ben and Johnny. Quickly! Namor wasn't a king. God, how could we have been so stupid? That wasn't a tomb he was buried in either-- I think it was a prison.

I figure you didn't play a lot of ball in school, but--

You know what? I didn't. I stayed inside like a good little nerd. And now I'm one of the twelve smartest guys on Earth and dating the hottest girl in New York City. And the big old jock who played lots of ball at school? He's standing right in front of me asking for my help.

Hey, babe. You scan me for plague-bearing parasites and I'll scan you.

Not now, Sue. Maybe later.

Can you forgive me?

Well, actually--I'm thinking not.

The Seven! They're here!

Yeah, and they're going down!

After you.

Thank you. But I prefer not to turn my back on you, Richards.

Then I guess we'll both have to edge along sideways.

I'm fine, thanks for askin'. Just hang a "scheduled for demolition" sign on me and get on with your afternoon.

It's...it's heading this way, Reed. It sent us a message. One single word.

What word?

Hunger.

Did -- did you see "us"?

No. I saw our daughter. She was so -- so fierce and beautiful. I saw what could have been and it was -- it was everything you wanted... I'm sorry Susan for everything and I'm sorry it took me this long to see how beautiful the world is.

You know, I look at your face... which is my face... and I see the age on it. I wonder, how it became so sentimental? So soft. So weak.

It's easy, Reed. When you learn to care about things other than yourself.

Tell me why, man-of-now. Tell me why you call me from the dark.

Honestly? Just to see if I could.
