Dialogue

• Historical

The Collector: Another incredible clash, and another win for the Summoner!
Kang the Conqueror: Playing favourites, Taneleer? I question the validity of this "Contest!"
The Collector: Do not presume to blame your inadequacies on me, Kang. I have given you ample opportunity!
The Collector: Let us not forget who hosts this event. Do not overstep your bounds.
The Collector: Now fight, or be banished!

Kang the Conqueror: Since the Collector sees fit to give you some kind of unspoken edge, then I shall have my own!
Kang the Conqueror: Red Skull! I have a gift for you!
Captain America: What?!
Red Skull: You need no ISO-Spell to convince me to fight these lesser beings, Conqueror.
Red Skull: IT WILL BE... MY PLEASURE.

Captain America: Johann Schmidt... also known as the Red Skull. Dangerous in his own right, but he's got some hardware I haven't seen before...
Kang the Conqueror: And a genius mind to overcharge it!
Caption: With a jolt of electricity, Kang transfers a surge of power into Red Skull's equipment.
Kang the Conqueror: End them!
Red Skull: Captain! Fortuitous we would meet here, and even moreso that it will be our final meeting! Prepare for oblivion!
Captain America: Looks like it's time to put together everything you've learned, Summoner. Give it your all!

This dialogue is no longer present in this quest and is presented here in a historical capacity.

The Collector: There are subsections of my Champion vault both of you have yet to see --
Kang the Conqueror: Collector! I have demanded answers and I shall have them!
The Collector: Why Kang! Do not be so rash. I believe you will find these unknown treasures to be quite appealing... and nefarious.

The Collector: So many Champions at your fingertips, and yet... surely Earth has more to offer? Perhaps something fiendish?
- Transmission #2

---

Kang the Conqueror: This untapped power the Collector speaks of... it shall be mine!
- Transmission #3

---

The Collector: Heroes, champions, goody-goodies...
The Collector: What say we shake up this Contest with a dash of... evil?!
- Transmission #4

---

Star-Lord: Ho ho ho, you think your Champions can tussle with me, Summoner?
Star-Lord: I've memorized all my favorite wrestling moves! Bring it, buster!
