Dialogue[]
Kang the Conqueror: Summoner! Champions! Kang the Conqueror demands your attention!
Doctor Strange: We might need to find a way out of here, Summoner. Kang is no pushover, and we don't have time to be fighting him. Kang the Conqueror: No need, good doctor. This time, our goals align. I have heard much of your rebellion against the Grandmaster. Kang the Conqueror: I, too, seek his downfall.
- Transmission #1 - Upon starting the Quest
Kang the Conqueror: Much as yourselves, I have been organizing my own resistance. I had fair ownership as a competitor under the Collector's reign. Kang the Conqueror: His layabout brother sees me as little more than a game piece, a token, and I will not tolerate that treatment. Kang the Conqueror: You and I still have a score to settle after all, Summoner.
Black Panther (Civil War): It seems the Grandmaster's behavior makes for strange allies, but I would not turn down Kang the Conqueror's assistance.
- Transmission #2
Kang the Conqueror: We are aligned then. Excellent! Kang the Conqueror: To assist our efforts, I present the menacing Nebula. Her advanced scanners have been most beneficial in keeping our eyes and ears open.
Nebula: Not to mention I have a few decades of training in assassination, but sure; we can highlight the logistics value.
Doctor Voodoo: Happy to have you with us. Nothing benefits magical expertise more than sharpened technology.
- Transmission #3
Morningstar: Stolen will is a curse I hath before beheld. Morningstar: Dost thou truly believe your cause is more noble, more just? Morningstar: Nay, all believe thineselves the hero of this tale. I wonder, how long before thine own villainy is laid bare? Morningstar: Thus, a demonstration of your ultimate destiny is in order. Draw steel!
