Essex (in quotes): "Well that’s tickety-boo. I have just the little orphan in mind."
<span class="mu-s">Know your place, spawn. I am the master, you the hunting dog. The prey we fell will be by my design.</span>
“Hahaha, that wasn't the first time I've been compared to a cur, but it's the first one I'll take as a compliment."
Magneto (in red): <span class="mu-r">If you want to have a private conversation with yourself, you should avoid cackling so loudly.</span>
"If it isn't the wicket witch of the west. Sorry to say The First One chose my plan over yours."
<span class="mu-r">Did "He" choose your plan, or did you choose yourself?</span>
"I beg your pardon."
<span class="mu-r"> It should be obvious that I of all people know would know Semitic languages. "En Sabah Nur" isn't Arabic for "The First One." It means "The Morning Light" and the grammar isn't even right.</span>
<span class="mu-s">You dare deny me?! After witnessing my greatness?!</span>
<span class="mu-r">Greatness, or the delusions of a brain wracked by experiments? Arabic didn't even EXIST in Ancient Egypt. For all I know you're a mundane scientist whose mind broke when his gift manifested."</span>
"Mundane! I was clipping telomeres when you were in your crib."
<span class="mu-r">That's another thing, exactly how old are you? I looked into your background, but I can't find any birth records, and there is an <span class="mu-i">interesting</span> gap in the 40s.</span>
<span class="mu-s">If this whelp wants to challenge me, he is welcome to.</span>
<span class="mu-r">No, our interests are aligned for now. I would ally with every madman in the asylum if it would bring my people liberation. But know this, my patience is not unlimited, if we stray too far from the path, YOU will know the meaning of war.</span>
With that, he flew off
"God, what a-"
<span class="mu-s">He is a leader among our kind. There will come a time when we clash to decide who will sit atop our new nation. On that day, the fittest shall be the victor. As they are always.</span>
"Well if we're done with the operatics, who should this hunting dog go for?"
