Iceman: Stay if you want. I'm outta here!

---

Magneto: [as the Acolytes come to his aid] Why have you done this? My fight was not with you.

Magneto: Then it has all been a waste. I know nothing of such a device."

Omega Red: I didn't think you'd cooperate, so I'll just have to tear this place apart until I find it. Starting here!!"

Mojo: Ooh! It's daring, it's risky. I love it!

Spiral: I knew you'd like it.

Mojo: Quick, let's start working on the contract!

Spiral: There are so many 'hero's' there. We could go for at least 5 seasons, before we even think about re-runs.

---

Magneto: [as the Acolytes come to his aid] Do you really believe humans will accept you? It's a fool's hope.
