Jessica Jones: That way, Strange! The Hood created another portal! Howard the Duck: He seems to be a bit more than "reasonably competent", if ya ask me! Doctor Strange: The Hood is not usually this powerful. He has... a patron. A dark conqueror imbuing him with energy and purpose, to prepare for his arrival. Jessica Jones: Oh boy. And do you know who this "Dark Conqueror" is? Doctor Strange: More than that, Ms. Jones. I was the one who attracted his attention to the Battlerealm in the first place...
- Transmission #1 - Upon starting the Quest
Jessica Jones: The Hood keeps jumping from portal to portal, but going nowhere. Looks like he's running in circles! Doctor Strange: It's not random. He's weaving through space-time in a very methodical fashion. He's tracing a humongous mystic symbol over the Battlerealm, to open a door for his master. Howard the Duck: How big is this master, to need a door that huge?! Doctor Strange: He's as big as he desires to be. But the door is not for him alone... Wherever he travels, he takes his whole dimension with him. Howard the Duck: Ah gotcha. Kinda like my ex-girlfriend. Jessica Jones: ...You're hopeless.
- Transmission #2
The Hood: You're too late, Strange! The spell is complete! You think of me as a two-bit criminal, don't ya? The Hood: Now you'll see that Parker Robbins is a top player in the mystic game! Howard the Duck: Charming. Doctor Strange: Summoner, I'll leave it to you and your team. Try to capture him unhurt... He's not entirely in control of his actions.
