Beyond a few accomplished monsters - Thanos, Kang, Reed Richards - the villains of the Age of Heroes were a sad and pathetic lot. Amongst that thin gruel of mediocrity, Loki had a kind of low cunning and a knack for survival.
And ๐ฟ๐๐๐ has always sought out royalty.
Krakoa. The mutants' greatest future, manifest. A lone flower in their rocky, salted field.
Now it is here, in 2099. The greatest of ๐๐ก๐ก possible futures. As I cultivate my own utopia, I shall grant them theirs.
You may gather here, protected. Under the aegis of ๐ฟ๐๐๐.
The mild successes of my former self? An invitation for MY masterstroke. My callow former self shall soon be snuffed.
One universe would never be enough.
Tch! You took up the mantle of a street cleaner. A man content to perform petty labors for petty people. And you mock the name of ๐ฟ๐๐๐? The good he has done?
It seems you ARE a Spider-Man.
Many consider these entangled timestreams a danger. But to a greater man - to ๐ฟ๐๐๐! - they are an opportunity.
Cowards and fainthearts will cry that the forces of time and space are things that man was not meant to control.
It will make controlling them far more satisfying.
๐๐ต๐ณ๐ข๐ต๐ฐ๐ด๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฆ.
So you remember your craven attempt on ๐ฟ๐๐๐'s life. On the life of the young Wire. Rest assured, upon our next encounter, justice will be dealt with an iron hand.
It will be ๐ด๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฏ.
I considered killing you. However...
Leaving aside your child's morality strewn like an errant toy on the carpet - to call ๐ฟ๐๐๐ a mere villain! - I have no need to embellish my titles.
I am a doctor. And I am ๐ฟ๐๐๐. The unstoppable force on the horizon. The rumble of thunder before obliteration. Have a care.
Wait...this one's from ๐๐ข๐ด๐ฉ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ๐ต๐ฐ๐ฏ? For Miggy? I guess his streaming's gotten more popular than we thought!
I didn't even know we HAD a president in 2099, Nueva's kind of its own little thing. Well let's see who--
...
Okay.
So I'M taking this meeting.
