Dialogue[]
The Collector: Ah, so you must be the new Summoner. Welcome to the Battlerealm! I am Taneleer Tivan, better known as the Collector!
The Collector: You will be the first of many competitors in the Contest of Champions, the tournament of tournaments!
The Collector: Your own champions should be at the ready. So naturally it would follow to give you a rival…
Kang the Conqueror: COLLECTOR! I TIRE OF WAITING!
The Collector: Right on time, Kang the Conqueror!
- Transmission #1 - Upon starting the Quest
Captain America: They called you Summoner, huh? You don't seem like either of those lunatics.
Iron Man: We'll have to vet this one later, Cap. I can feel this place beginning to cloud my mind again!
Captain America: Tony, hold on!
Iron Man: It's… it's too late!
Iron Man: I SURRENDER TO THE CONTEST!
- Transmission #2 - Before fighting Iron Man
Captain America: I'm not sure how you're doing this Collector, but this madness is over!
The Collector: Quite the contrary, Captain. The fun and games have just begun.
The Collector: You shall act as a guide, Steven Rogers. Show this Summoner how to best utilize their champions, or suffer the consequences!
Captain America: This one, huh?
Captain America: No time for a full training course, Summoner. Just get in there do your best!
- Transmission #3
Kang the Conqueror: Hah! Your guarantees prove true, Collector! Iron Man fights for Kang!
Captain America: Tony…
The Collector: Show me what you've got, Summoner. Defeat Kang's team, if you can!
Kang the Conqueror: The prize shall be mine! Doctor, destroy this pathetic Summoner.
Doctor Octopus: As you command!
This dialogue replaces the current one only during the Tutorial.
Spider-Man (Stark Enhanced): Friends turned foes, fights for no reason, floaty asteroids all over. This Battlerealm is pretty accurately named.
Spider-Man (Stark Enhanced): I just hope you and I are through the worst of the surprises, Summoner.
Caption: *With that said, a sudden explosion from an ion cannon sends Spider-Man and the Summoner tumbling.*
Kang the Conqueror: Ah, so the Summoner has chosen Spider-Man to fight for them. Good, you can watch my newest recruit rip them apart. Isn't that right, Iron Man?
Iron Man: I don't … I'm sorry Peter … Something's wrong. I just need to … I can't … I shall destroy you!
- Transmission #1 - Upon starting the Quest
The Collector: Ah, your first real fight as an official member of the Contest of Champions. You love to see it.
The Collector: Select a Champion from your team on the left by tapping their portrait. That's who you'll be sending into combat against the defending foe on the right.
- Transmission #2 - Before fighting Iron Man
Spider-Man (Stark Enhanced): Maybe … Maybe that wasn't Tony. Maybe it was a Skrull, or a clone, or a robot, or … who was that purple guy with him?
Kang the Conqueror: I am Kang the Conqueror, unquestioned master of time, and soon to be victor of the Contest of Champions.
Doctor Strange: Peter Parker, step away from the Summoner. I am being compelled to defeat them, but you could still be spared.
Spider-Man (Stark Enhanced): How about you stop floating ominously there, Kang releases his spell or whatever on you, and we have a nice calm chat chat about this.
Doctor Strange: There is no time for speaking! We must battle! Now!
- Transmission #3 - Before fighting Doctor Strange
The Collector: Your greatest challenge is, of course, the final boss of this Quest. It is not a fight you could currently face without suffering significantly.
The Collector: But you'll find that in times of crisis, the Contest provides! You've achieved an objective, and earned some much needed reinforcement!
- After defeating Doctor Strange
The Collector: Ah yes, ISO-8, more than just a glittery bit of space rock it is raw power itself! We must waste no time…
The Collector: Let me teach you how to upgrade your Champions with ISO-8. Then you may face your most fearsome foe yet!
- After claiming "Welcome to the Contest" Milestone 2
The Collector: Behold your roster! This is where your Champions can be found. Looks a little empty right now, but I'm sure you'll fill it up in no time.
The Collector: Now, select the Champion you would like to upgrade.
- Within the Champions tab
The Collector: Perfection. Just look at all that ISO-8 power coursing through them! They look ready to take on the Battleworld.
The Collector: Now, return to your Quest and defeat Doctor Octopus!
- After upgrading a Champion
Spider-Man (Stark Enhanced): Otto, you're working for this clown? Is it weird that I'm kind of glad to fight someone who usually wants to punch me in the face?
Doctor Octopus: Hello, Parker. You're looking well. Seems though the last opponents Kang sent didn't leave a mark… I'll be sure to remedy that.
Spider-Man (Stark Enhanced): It's the ISO-Diet, all the vitamins, nutrients, and strange cosmic power a growing spider needs! Also I dunno if you're the kind of doctor that gives "remedies".
Doctor Octopus: I have a job to do, and that job entails destroying you and your little Summoner friend.
Spider-Man (Stark Enhanced): Or we knock your block off and then I let the Summoner continue on their adventure while get help. This is a great plan and I'm excited to be a part of it.
- Transmission #4 - Before fighting Doctor Octopus
Nick Fury: The Battlerealm's a tough place, Summoner. Maybe we should call in some backup?
This dialogue is no longer present in this quest and is presented here in a historical capacity.
Captain America: All right Collector. This circus is over.
The Collector: Quite the contrary, flag man. The Contest will continue!
Captain America: Me and my friends, we're going home. And we're taking you down with us.
The Collector: Is that so, flag man? Stand proud against the Contest… if you can!
- Transmission #1 - Upon starting the Quest
Doctor Strange: Captain, be warned! All of our friends and allies -- they are immobile! Something about this realm… it saps our willpower!
Captain America: Doctor Strange! Hang on!
Doctor Strange: My head… a ringing in my skull! Captain, I --
Doctor Strange: I SURRENDER TO THE CONTEST!
- Transmission #2 - Before fighting Doctor Strange[† 1]
Kang the Conqueror: How satisfying, Captain America. You shall be my pawn!
Captain America: I've faced bigger and… badder… than you, Kang!
The Collector: Feeling weak, flag man? You cannot deny the Contest.
Captain America: No matter how you're pulling this off, Collector… it won't be enough!
- Transmission #3
The Collector: I have broken The Captain's will, Kang. He is yours to control now.
Captain America: Summoner… I know you are Earth's last hope, but I am compelled to fight you.
Captain America: YOU MUST WIN!
Kang the Conqueror: Excellent. CAPTAIN, FIGHT FOR KANG THE CONQUEROR!
Captain America: I SURRENDER TO THE CONTEST!
