 I have heard tell of you, Rider. You defy death. Thanos is... intrigued. You think I'm the worst thing out here, boy? I haven't even begun! I cannot kill you. You cannot defeat me. But you come with me, Rider. And at my side, I will show you more evil than you can punish in a thousand lifetimes... 

—King Thanos
