“NO! You're incapable of this, Richards. Nothing can stop my plan of world despair and domination. Nothing!”
“Well, Doom, this is your lucky day, because I have nothing.
Nothing but love for you, baby.”
“Ha! You traced it to the Corisa Galaxy!”
“Yes, well, history doesn't tend to remember those who deduced the “general area” of something!”
“It’s good to see you, friend.”
“Frankly, Ben, I’m beginning to have my doubts about this whole enterprise. I mean, really: a blind date? I should be back at the dorm helping Victor with his trans-dimensional warp generator.”
“Aw, cmon, brainiac! You can help Baron von Fancy Pants with his dang gizmo anytime!”
“…Richards walks with none of his characteristic, accursed confidence…”
“A diary—held like a talisman…as a drowning man might grasp his lifebelt.”
“Wonderful. A most unexpected but delightful surprise. Whatever else occurs here this night, my old friend… you are doomed!”
“YOUR PRESENCE IS REQUESTED AT THE SYMPOSIUM ON:
"CONQUERING THE MOUNT FANTASTIC: HOW TO FINALLY DEFEAT REED RICHARDS"
HOSTED BY VICTOR VON DOOM
TO BE HELD AT THE BAXTER BUILDING TWO DAYS HENCE
Q & A TO FOLLOW THE MAIN PRESENTATION”
“This machine will prove once and for all…”
“No need to explain, Richards! I can deduce its function most clearly. Remember, I am every bit your scientific equal!”
“That, my implacable enemy, remains to be seen!”
“Doom, I don’t know how you’ve accomplished this horrible thing, but you won’t get away with it!”
“You’re whistling in the dark, mister! I now possess all your physical powers, plus my own knowledge of black arts! You can’t ever be a threat to me again!”
“Tell Mr. Fantastic to come here right away—to discuss a new story with you!”
“Phone call for you, Reed! It’s Lee and Kirby! They’d like you to go to their studio to work out a plot with ‘em!”
“Strange… We just finished discussing a new plot yesterday!”
“If I appeared here as Doom...I’d likely be obeyed without question.
Regrettably however, since the system perceives me as Reed Richards...It’s sure to treat my presence and actions as hostile.
That would certainly explain my manifestation inside a dungeon.”
