“You are attempting to manipulate me, Richards. I can see it as plainly as ...” He dropped his hand and regarded it carefully. “As plainly as the hand before my face, but I will ignore this insult. For now.”

Richards… normally I abhor physical encounters... but you give me no choice.

Victor! Can you hear me? Are you all right?

Valeria (to Doom): I know you have changed my father. He denies it, too. Avoids it. But… I can tell that you did. Not always in the best ways, but.... you brought something out of him. Something no one else could have. Not even my mother.

Finally... Reed Richards on a silver platter.

Von Doom looked Reed up and down, as if trying to take the measure of him, and then grinned broadly. It all seemed a game to him somehow. It was becoming clear to Ben, however, that Reed was more than capable of playing that same game if need be.

I now order you to release the Fantastic Four from your trance. All but Reed Richards!

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

You’ve got to rest, my friend.

Hey, Victor, sorry. The door was open… and I just couldn’t help myself…

Welcome, old friend… I have been awaiting your presence.

Join me, Richards -- you're the only one with whom I feel an intellectual kinship. Together, the world can be ours.

I can see it in your eyes, that look of unwanted pity.

Hopefully after tomorrow, we’ll be former enemies.

This is what always causes your fall, Reed. Abandoning the good because you desire the perfect. I understand now--I know what this is. It's the same thing it's always been between you and I...

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

This is my plan! My victory! Without the degradation of Reed Richards it would mean nothing!

On the contrary, my dear Richards…

And now it needs you -- I need you -- to help rebuild this world.

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

Von Doom looked up from the chessboard and saw that Richards was staring out the window and, half-smiling, watching a yellow and black bird perched on the branch of a nearby tree.

I can see it in your eyes, that look of unwanted pity.

“This changes nothing between us, Richards!” “I think it does. Just a little bit.”

He said... 'Don't give up on me.'

Yes. You know me, as I know you.

If Reed Richards and Victor von Doom had managed to bridge their gulf, they might have worked together -- and the terrible chain of events which created Doctor Doom would not have occurred, sparing this world untold misery.

“She's my daughter, Doom.” “No, Richards - You're mistaken. She's mine.”

Reed watched as Von Doom reinserted his hand into his gauntlet. “That's brilliant.” he said with genuine admiration.

Nobody sees me. (Only Reed did.)

“Richards! Though it pains me to ask aid of an enemy—“ “Of course we’ll help!”

“What did you do to me?” “Nothing yet, old friend — but I shall—”

No obsession is stronger than one shared.

I regret that things could not have been different. You might have given the world so much.

For Doom, the enemy I cannot seem to best has always been Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four…

Don't be a fool, Victor! There's no fighting this! I'm begging you--

Richards. Always Richards.

You longing for Reed Richards explains a lot...

Two points for my side, Victor! I'll try to keep it interesting!

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

So you believe in destiny as I do. It began with us both… it is appropriate that it ends this way as well.

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

I am impressed, Richards. A lesser man might have been momentarily disoriented by my unexpected assault, but YOU react without hesitation.

I regret that things could not have been different. You might have given the world so much.

You cannot hope to delude me with your honeyed words!

Victor von Doom and Reed Richards are but opposite sides of the same coin--

I remember me. I remember you. I remember my hatred. A lifetime of battle.

His own man, Richards. A piece of him is missing, you know how that feels, how that’s felt for years. You toss and turn at night, missing that sliver of intelligence that would put you on par with Doom.

Join me, Richards -- you're the only one with whom I feel an intellectual kinship. Together, the world can be ours.

Hey, Victor! My offer still stands. If you ever want to play out the game... Just let me know.

Join me, Richards -- you're the only one with whom I feel an intellectual kinship. Together, the world can be ours.
