Dialogue[]

The Grandmaster: Siding with criminals, mind-controlling those who disagree... you are frayed, Taneleer. It is showing.
The Grandmaster: The Summoner knows who is best for the Battlerealm, who is best for the Contest!
The Collector: Indeed, and the one in question has been here for years!
- Transmission #1 - Upon starting the Quest

Magneto: What do you mean you do not see my reasoning? Months ago you wanted nothing to do with this place!
Captain America (WWII): This is different, Magneto. We're not talking about escaping this time; we're talking about one despot exchanged for another.
Captain America (WWII): The Collector may not be trustworthy, but we know his angle. We can stay ahead of him. He's predictable, in his own way.
Magneto: I'm disappointed in you, Captain. I was under the impression that freedom is ever your aim, but you have simply fallen in line.
Magneto: Don't expect any help from the X-Men, or any other mutants for that matter. Stay out of our way.
- Transmission #2

Iron Man: Come on, Hank. You're a man of science, don't be so illogical about this!
Beast: Illogical?! You're signing your life away to the cosmic being who's been keeping us here all this time!
Iron Man: He's a known quantity, Hank! Come on, Cap is with me on this one and you know how hard it is for us to agree on anything!
Beast: Then he's making the same mistakes you are. But I expect better from someone with your mind, Tony.
Beast: We're taking our chances-- any chances--to break free of this place, and we won't be waylaid by anyone.
- Transmission #3

Storm: Your time is over, Collector! We will bow to you no longer!
The Collector: Not so, Mutant! You will submit to my Contest, and you will do so now!
Storm: Nnngh--never! I refuse!
The Collector: Impossible... why--why won't it work?!
The Grandmaster: It seems your grip on the ISO-Sphere weakens further, brother!
Storm: And you... the Collector's lapdog! You will be the first example! Mutantkind will be free!
