The Collector: Do not lose composure, Summoner. Cast out your doubts. This is about the survival of the Contest. The Collector: A new threat looms in the future of the Battlerealm. M.O.D.O.K.: We will need more powerful Champions to fight it, and this is only the first step.
- Upon starting the quest
Beast: M.O.D.O.K.! I know it is you behind the ISO-Terrigen mist! M.O.D.O.K.: Mwa ha ha ha! Sharp mind, fuzzface! Any other major revelations for me? I'm busy doing real science! Beast: Get back here, you cretin!
- Before the fourth fight
Magneto: Now you see my quandry, Summoner. This isn't a rogue Champion, an outside force. Magneto: It is the very steward of this wretched "Contest" and his cronies. Magneto (House of X): McCoy means well, but his efforts will be for naught. We still work to rally the mutants. Be ready for us!
- Before the sixth fight
Magneto: Ah, I had hoped we would find him here. Mr. Wagner, come with me. Nightcrawler: Magneto?! Never! I should have known you'd be behind this weird place! Magneto (House of X): Still clinging to the old hatreds, I see. Summoner, I'll need you to make him stand down. Go easy on him. Nightcrawler: I fear it is you who will be asking for restraint, mein freund. En garde!
