Dialogue[]
Thanos: The Maestro is this realm's master, that is certain. Thanos: Even so, I do not believe he knows exactly what he has his hands on. It may be beyond even his knowledge. Thanos: BUT IT IS NOT BEYOND MY GRASP.
- Transmission #1 - Upon starting the Quest
Iron Man: Looks like the big purple guy is as subtle as ever. Iron Man: If it's not magic space crystals, I guess an unstable radioactive mineral compound will do, huh?
Captain America: Tony kids, but he's right. Thanos always wants more. Captain America: Be ready, Summoner. He'll be your opponent sooner that you think. Captain America: And he won't hold back.
- Transmission #2
The Collector: Please enjoy this display, Maestro! The Summoner against the unstoppable Juggernaut!
Maestro: Impress me, Summoner. Iron Man: (Hang in there, buddy. Doctor Strange is working on freeing others from the ISO-Spell... We won't be alone for long!) Maestro: QUIT CHATTERING AND FIGHT!
Juggernaut: YEAH, I'M COMIN' THROUGH!
This dialogue is no longer present in this quest and is presented here in a historical capacity.
Maestro: This is not the first alternate time line I have crushed. Maestro: I have been traveling the multiverse for decades. Consuming ISO-8. Now I am more powerful than any mortal!
- Transmission #1 - Upon starting the Quest
Maestro: The ISO-8 has permanently fused the Banner and Hulk sides of my psyche. Maestro: The brilliance of one, the brutality of the other!
- Transmission #2
Maestro: With ISO-8, I learned how to manipulate the time stream, opening doors to new universes — Maestro: A whole multiverse of ISO-8 for me to absorb!
- Transmission #3
Maestro: Want to know how powerful ISO-8 has made me? Maestro: Study glorious trophy collection! Recognize anything?
- Transmission #4
