Valeria: My father. Reed. Tell me what you thought of him. Really.
Doom: He had… some gifts. Some intellect… perception.. insight. His mind is nimble enough. Honestly, he didn't even really understand the gifts he had.

“Nice try, Doom. For all I know, you want to get to Reed before us so you can kill him. I mean, what other reason could you have for “helping” us?”
“My reasons are my own, and impenetrable to one as fascile as you.”

Perhaps it is fate that the powers of my greatest enemy could not be harnessed by me… the only mortal who was Richards’s better.

Ever since I rejected you as a roommate, you have been following me around like a lost puppy, Richards.

I’ve… been watching you, Victor. Aren't you a better man with family?

“ So it's just you and.. the cowhand, then?”
“Stop looking over my shoulder for my dad, Victor. I have.”

DoomReed Quote Bot @doomreedbot.bsky.social · 9h

Yes. You know me, as I know you.

If Victor had allowed me, I'd be right up there alongside him... And I know better than most how brilliant that man is. I actually feel safe knowing it's 𝘩𝘪𝘮 up there.

Imagine what we could have accomplished, for humanity, if we'd only worked together all those years...

Reed never mocked you, not even when you were expelled from university and added DOCTOR to your name, right around the time HE graduated.

I kept coming back. I even made sure Franklin 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘥 this universe so that I could. Doom and I would go exploring the cosmos together, discovering new phenomena. Sometimes there was friendly competition, but mostly... we were just 𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘴.

Finally... Reed Richards on a silver platter.

DoomReed Quote Bot @doomreedbot.bsky.social · 17h

Doom: Or perhaps your heart still bleeds for the common people, like a good Richards.
Valeria: Stop using my name as a swear word!
Doom: But it is the most profane expression I know.
Valeria: Because it was my father’s. When are you going to get over him?
Doom: I mustn’t. Ever!

“Come, a quick tour of the grounds before dinner. My art collection is second to none.” “I’ve had occasion to admire it briefly, although usually I'm being shot at.”

We're getting so much more work done with your family out of the way.

Of course, Richards. With minds as brilliant as ours, we can hold no secrets from each other.

DoomReed Quote Bot @doomreedbot.bsky.social · 21h

Stand aside, Fantastic Four. I have come here only for your leader. Surrender Reed Richards now.

“You remade the world and all its people in your image.”
“You admire that?”
“It’s a remarkable achievement.”
“Come to join me, then?”

Why do you hate me?
