""There are eight million people in this city, and those teeming masses exist for the sole purpose of lifting the few exceptional people onto their shoulders. You? Me? We're exceptional. I could SQUASH YOU LIKE A BUG right now... but I'm offering you a choice. Join me. Imagine what we could accomplish together.

"Tombstone: The Big Man - whomever he might be - has nothing against heroes. No hero can thwart enough crime to dent his income. But you...you frighten criminals off the street entirely. Except when you're off battling the likes of the Rhino. Then the Big Man's profitable army of petty thugs think themselves...beneath the Spider-Man's notice.

Spider-Man: So as long as I keep fighting crime, you'll keep making bigger and badder -

Tombstone: Now you're learning. But there is a way out: come work for me. You can still save the world like a good hero. I'll even pay you. All you have to remember is to look the other way on occasion. On any occasion I choose."

- The Spectacular Spider-Man, "The Invisible Hand"

"Spider-Man: Ah, where are my manners? Here you come to terrorise the Tombster and I don't even say thank you! My only excuse is that you're also holding innocent people hostage. It's confusing to my poor spider-brain!

Green Goblin: Mmm, yes, quite the puzzler. But the Green Goblin has a solution: you and I join forces! Consider what we could accomplish. By combining our powers, WE COULD RULE NEW YORK!

Green Goblin: Oh well. Your loss - of life!"

"They call me "Wonderful"

So I am wonderful

In fact, it's so much who I am

It's part of my name!

And with my help, you can be the same

At long, long last receive your due

Long overdue

Elphaba, the most celebrated

Are the rehabilitated

There'll be such a whoop-de-doo

A celebration throughout Oz

That's all to do with you!"

"The Master: Look at all those planetary systems, Doctor! We could rule them all! The Doctor: (flatly) What for? What is the point? The Master: The point is that one must rule or serve, that's a basic law of life! Why do you hesitate, Doctor? Surely it's not loyalty to the Time Lords, who exiled you on one insignificant planet?

Cyberman: This is correct.

Dalek Thay: Request! Denied!"

Well, let me step forward with this message to all super-sexy would-be queens of the world: I will gladly accept your offer and rule the world by your scantily clad side.""

- Keith Allison, review of The Incredible Paris Incident on Teleport City.

"Iskander: For example, if my Ionion Hetairoi was equipped by your Gate of Babylon, it would undoubtedly become the most powerful army. Even that President of the West wouldn't be more than a break of wind.

Gilgamesh: Hm. And?

Iskander: Once again, will you not be my ally? If we join together, we can surely conquer as far as the ends of the stars."
