Quasimodo even commented that Cauldron is "clearly no Dormammu".
- Centurious - As Centurious is considered deceased, no body was ever recovered and might still be out there. If Centurious is still alive, Quasimodo advised Osborn to use him against Ghost Rider.

- Dracula - Quasimodo stated that Dracula can't be reigned in, but Doctor Doom might solve this equation.
