Marvel Analog Horror Universe Part 2

Ever the braggart, Cage? Ever the arrogant pup!

Unfortunately, military strategy requires that this area be de-populated... to make a slumbering America aware of my power. Observe.

It's the day we stood up to all the crap this country is drowning in, Bobby. That's what day it was. The day the real America showed it's teeth. A day of true freedom of the press. Freedom of action. Go ahead, call it "World War Hate." Give it a cute little name. Pretend it's out of the ordinary. Pretend it's not happening right now, behind every closed door, in every private thought. You go ahead and pretend America doesn't like it.

Pardon me. Do you always demonstrate for peace by grabbing other people's property and kicking them in the face?

You've become a posh, empty-minded automaton, I can't accept it, I won't.

No! No! I did not mean for this to happen! I only kill Fools!

So you're back, you slanty-browed coward! Just give Tiger Shark a crack at you... and you'll wish you'd stayed away... forever!

Why should I risk my hide to save him? On second thought, don't answer that! One look at you, lady, and... instant motivation! Not only are you Miss Seaweed of 1969, but your lucky better half would have a claim to the Atlantean throne!

...It's long past time for Tiger Shark to have some fun.

Arcade, sweetie, does this outfit make me look fat?

You're so mean to me.

So you are saying I'm fat!

Hear me, Thanos! Titan or God, I shall yet obliterate you!

Give me something worthwhile to do, Quill. Just promise me it'll be worthwhile.

The Guardians have always been a serviceable distraction, but this is my life's work. I must get my revenge against Thanos, and with the entire team following their own agendas, I will follow suit. I will kill Thanos.

Am I not Thanos! Did I not butcher the woman who gave me birth, who force-fed me into this hell called life?! Is not the wake of my passing crimson with the blood of my enemies and allies alike?! Death is with me every second of the day! My every moment is spent in either dealing out death or worshiping it! So tell me, who under the stars is better suited than I to be Death's consort?

Your fate will lay heavily on my heart, though by all rights it shouldn't. I did not force you to fight me. I gave you the chance to surrender the Gem. You forced me into doing what I did. I had to be faithful to my nature. For, after all, I am Thanos.

For I am transformed! I have left the mortal plane behind me! In truth I have risen above the mantle of godhood! Even celestial status is now below me! The Infinity Gems have given me the power of Supreme Being!

You -- you think you've beaten me?! I'm not finished! I'll never be finished until I've gotten what I -- want.

But remember what we learned after all those years fighting Thanos... it's not just monsters that get to make choices. You get one too. You can be a knife... or you can be a Guardian.

he power of the gauntlet now rests on new shoulders. Anything I yearn for is within my grasp. Do you know what I yearn for, dear Thanos?

Why? When did death become your way, my child...? Even when you stopped worshipping me, you revered life...why this?

You must know by now that the Earth is the axis point for the death of everything...you must know what conclusion must be drawn from this fact.

System-creating, universal migrants. Creators and Engineers...more than capable of destroying worlds. Did you not find it strange that they were limited in how they moved throughout your universe? That a race so advanced was limited to traveling in what was essentially a straight line? It's because their vessels were not built for traveling great distances outside of their Superflow.

Well, according to an eight billion year old being, I'm protector of the universe. I'm also a reserve Avenger and an all-around nice guy.

There's only one thing I'm good at... I can fail and die. I can let everybody down. And I think I'm about to prove...just how good I am at it.

I asked: What's the worst that could happen? This is. How can I protect the universe from another universe? Galaxies and worlds all united to consume us? They're coming!

You are my ageless-love. And as long as I am here... for us, the centuries slip by like forgotten moments in time. Do not fear, my life-mate.

What better way to die than on your feet... With blood on your hands and fallen enemies underfoot?

Before I am done, human, you will beg me for the swift, sure release of death!

You think I run from glory, My'rl? If there was glory to be had, I would surely beat you there. No, you are here because...there is going to be a gathering. A war council on Nomad. Word has spread of this invading fleet. I wish for us to go in the hopes we can...prevent what looks inevitable.

Well, Norman Osborn may have died, but his legacy-- His power-- Will live on! And this time, it shall be shaped by a man who knows how to use power!... ...The Green Goblin is no more! But in his place now stands-- the Hobgoblin!!

I'm far more deadly and cunning than Norman Osborn ever was! I'm going to rest and recover from my injuries! And then, I'll settle accounts with Spider-Man! He must pay for what he did to me tonight! He will pay! So swears the Hobgoblin!

One thing's certain. His little Goblin Nation... Will always reside in a Hobgoblin World.
