It's like everywhere I go there's another Vic Van Damme, another Mole Man. They're all the frickin' same.
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.
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.
So this is the world. Can you see... can you see what you have made? How do you stand the disappointment?
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.
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.
We have defeated gods. We have decapitated the superpower. We will destroy The People. Let evolution shake every core of the planet. Let none stand against the Children of Tomorrow.
That barbaric hood is no longer necessary. I want your eyes wide open. Welcome to tomorrow--Tony Stark.
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.
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.
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.
How is this even happening? da Costa... he's a gadfly. A champagne-swilling playboy. How? How did he make this happen?
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.
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.
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.
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.
Reed Richards | 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. |
Ben Grimm | Sure... |
Reed Richards | I'll probably send them a couple of toys. |
Ben Grimm | Why would you send them your toys? |
Reed Richards | Just to say hi. |
Ben Grimm | Uh, you're not going to go and try to send yourself, are you? |
Reed Richards | Fighting my way out of something. This is not me. |
Sue Storm | I've never been in a fight in my life. |
Reed Richards | But Ben and Johnny- it's like they were born for it. |
Johnny Storm | Reed, don't even try to-- |
Reed Richards | Or else I am going to let Ben give you a swirly in the zero-gravity toilet. After he's used it. |
Johnny Storm | You are a terrorist. I liked you better when you were scared of your own shadow. |
Reed Richards | You're--mad. You're raving mad. |
Rhona Burchill | If it's mad to think the unthinkable then I'm the maddest thinker there ever was |
Thor | You. Military-industrial-complex drone girl. Bring us beer. |
Carol Danvers | Sure. How far up your backside would you like it rammed? |
Thor | Well, I was going to ask for a keg, so... |
Johnny Storm | Reed, Reed... Thor's getting us a keg! |
Reed Richards | Mr. Stark and I are going to reconfigure a star drive. |
Johnny | Dude... keg! |
Reed | Dude. Star Drive. |
Johnny | You're sick, Reed. |
Mary Storm | What's wrong? |
Reed Richards | 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. |
Nick Fury | I figure you didn't play a lot of ball in school, but-- |
Reed Richards | 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. |
Sue Storm | Hey, babe. You scan me for plague-bearing parasites and I'll scan you. |
Reed Richards | Not now, Sue. Maybe later. |
Reed Richards | Can you forgive me? |
Sue Storm | Well, actually--I'm thinking not. |
Mister Fantastic | The Seven! They're here! |
Thing | Yeah, and they're going down! |
Reed Richards | After you. |
Namor | Thank you. But I prefer not to turn my back on you, Richards. |
Reed Richards | Then I guess we'll both have to edge along sideways. |
The Thing | I'm fine, thanks for askin'. Just hang a "scheduled for demolition" sign on me and get on with your afternoon. |
Invisible Woman | It's...it's heading this way, Reed. It sent us a message. One single word. |
Reed Richards | What word? |
Invisible Woman | Hunger. |
Invisible Woman | Did -- did you see "us"? |
Reed Richards | 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. |
Maker | 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. |
Mr. Fantastic | It's easy, Reed. When you learn to care about things other than yourself. |
Mor-I-Dun | Tell me why, man-of-now. Tell me why you call me from the dark. |
Maker | Honestly? Just to see if I could. |
