Adaptoid (Mutant): Hear, hear! Clear the way for the Lord of the Battlerealm, Gatherer of Treasures, Master of the Isosphere, the COLLECTOR... The First! The Collector: There's no number after my name, Adaptoid! It's just the Collector, the one and only. And the Summoner is an old friend... No need for formal introductions. The Collector: Sorry about that, Summoner. We're just rehearsing for the Great Inauguration! The Collector: Soon you will know more about it. Keep your skills sharp, you're about to be part of a new era for the Contest of Champions!
- Transmission #1 - Upon starting the Quest
The Collector: I have been very displeased with all the recent chaos in my Battlerealm. Ultron and his minions, Magneto's mutant rebellion, Joe Fixit and his illegal fight club, M.O.D.O.K.'s army of aberrations... the list goes on. The Collector: I was so busy putting out fires that I forgot to run a Contest. Now that I have regained full control over it, I intend to correct that mistake. The Collector: I officially invite you to join me for "Phase 2" of the Contest of Champions!
- Transmission #2
The Collector: Welcome, Summoner! You have been transported to this magnificent arena orbiting Battleworld, to be a part of the renewed Contest of Champions! The Collector: The rules remain the same: The best warriors in the galaxy will fight for their survival. Beat your opponents, and you will be awarded absolute power. Lose and you will be placed in my Collection... permanently! The Collector: Your first opponent is an old acquaintance, eager for a rematch...
