"Temporal transition is complete." "Navigation, probes, and weapons are being calibrated." "Cloaks are online." "We are undetectable to current technology." "What is the time?" "Star charts are processing." "The chrono date is 0028241.423." "Very early 21st century." "Has the target been located?" "Yes, lord Kang." "In this era, the location is known as New York City." "So it begins."

"What do you mean?" "Well, the newspaper calls you a futurist." "And unless you're into Italian art, I'm not entirely sure what that is." "Mmm, how to explain?" "A futurist is someone who tries to predict the future, or in my case, tries to create it." "I'm inventing technology for next century." "Trying to make the world a better place." "For instance, having news an information delivered via wireless signals as opposed to a newspaper." "I like newspapers." "For instance, this one has a picture of you fighting Hydra." "And even from the picture, anyone can see that you don't know how to fight." "What?" "There's about 20 super-villains out there that would disagree with you." "Meet me in the training room in five minutes." "We've got work to do." "This is gonna be good." "Yup." "From what I've seen, you're fighting style is to tackle people or to blast them." "If I had to guess," "I'd say that you've never been in an actual fight in your life." " Well, I..." "I..." " Punch me." "What?" "I'm not gonna..." "Do it." " Ow, what just happened?" " Let's try that again." "My armor protects me, you know?" "It would have taken you down before you even touched me." "And if the suit I was wearing couldn't handle you," "I've got four more that could." "You can't always count on your armor." "You have to be ready for anything." "That's the whole point." "I'm working to know exactly what's coming." "I'll know exactly what to be ready for." "These fantastic four as you call them, they are mortal heroes as well?" "Uh, they're more like explorers." "I think Reed said they were heading off to the earth's core today." "This isn't fair." "None of you could have taken me alone." "Man, you are a whiner." "You've been complaining ever since we caught you, Blizzard." "Which was really easy, by the way." "Where are you taking me?" "What is this place?" "It's, uh... well, honestly I'm not sure." "I haven't seen it yet." "Well, iron man, Reed Richards and I had a meeting after the breakout." "We brainstormed ideas to make the world a better place." "This was number 42." "Truthfully, friend Pym," "I do not think this will hold anybody." "Greetings, Dr. Pym." "Good morning, Ultron 5." "We have a new guest for you." "This is Blizzard, he's awaiting trail." "Greetings, mister Gill, aka Blizzard." "May I call you Donald?" "What?" "No." "What are you..." "Oh, wow." "Did I mention that I was really, really sorry?" "Well, I appreciate the lessons and the bruises, but the world has changed, cap." "Life moves faster now than ever, and it's only gonna get faster still." "I'm wired in to a worldwide network of computers and satellites." "The goal is to see danger before it gets here." "I'm getting ready for the future, and working to get humanity there in one piece." "You're still used to the old ways of doing things." "They say those who forget history are doomed to repeat it." "If the old ways include training and preparation, then maybe you need to slow down a bit." "Uh, slow, uh, down?" "I hear you talking, but the words don't make sense." "It's always a good idea to know some basics." "No matter what year it is, some things never change." "Huh?" "Greetings, avengers." "I am Kang." "I have come from your future to deliver a message to Captain America." "Jarvis, initiate mansion defenses." "I don't care who you are, this ends now." "Okay, now I care who are." "You're armor is amusing." "Primitive, but amusing." "Now, where were we?" "What realm be this?" "We went over this at the mansion, Thor, remember?" "The Negative Zone?" "It's a universe comprised completely of anti-matter." "By placing the super-villain prison in the Negative Zone, even if there is another mysterious breakout." "There's no where to break out to." "And what of these metal, uh, things?" "They are the jailers?" "Yes." "Ultron is a robot that iron man and I designed together." "I've been mass producing them since the breakout to act as wardens to 42." "How are you feeling today, Jerome?" "Ultron can't be hurt, he can't be corrupted, and I've programmed them to help rehabilitate the prisoners." "Pretty great, right?" "That's a lot of Ultrons." "Hmm?" "I think we should get back to earth... right now." "Jarvis, give me full analysis of Kang's armor and weapons." "Unable to analyze." "The alloys are impenetrable by armor systems." "What?" "What about his chair?" "Error." "No matching technology on file." "Extrapolating... error." "Unable to comprehend given current level of technology." "Who are you?" "Why are you attacking the avengers?" "Oh, not the avengers, Captain." "You." "As for your questions," "I am Kang the conqueror." "I have come from the 41st century, traveling to this backwater time period for one simple reason." "To eliminate you from the timeline." "Jarvis, full power to uni-beam." "That's not possible." "Stay focused." "Kang, you say you're from the future, why would you want to take out Captain America?" "To save the world." "Now, this is just some friendly advice," "I'd stay down if I were you." "Hulk, wait." "We need answers." "What did you mean by save the world, Kang?" "In my time, I rule all." "But a disruption in the space-time continuum destroyed my reality, wiping everything from existence." "I traced the cause of the disruption to an anomaly in the time stream." "Something that should not have existed in the 21st century." "Captain America." "Huh?" "Your actions in this era have destroyed my empire, Captain." "Ending your life is the first step in restoring it." "You wish to end a life, villain?" "Then try ours." "Yeah." "Wait, what?" "Give it up, Kang." "Kang does not give up, primitive." "If you insist on fighting for the Captain's life, then I will show you fools exactly what you are fighting for." "No." "This is what Captain America's presents in your time has caused." "This is all his fault." "Where have you taken us, Kang?" "Not where, avenger, when." "You stand in your New York City, just 10 years from your present day." "You did this." "You are not listening, archer." "I am not responsible for destroying your world." "Captain America is." "Everyone just... just wait." "Jarvis, connect to the Stark Industries' network." "Network not found." "Try shield." "Try everything." "Error." "No networks found." "There's nothing out there." "There's no one left." "Of course not." "You see, very soon in your timeline, earth will be consumed in a war." "Earth's sun will be a casualty in that war, along with all life on the planet." "What kind of war could do that?" "A war between two alien empires, the Kree and the Skrulls." "But in the end, it was Captain America that was truly responsible." "Nay." "You lie, conqueror." "No one man could be responsible for such destruction, least of all Captain America." "Not knowingly." "But the Captain should not exist in your time." "He should not have lived." "I am here to correct this." "Let me get this straight." "Handing over cap to you is gonna save the world?" "Stupid future man." "It may." "I came to eliminate Captain America." "But just to be sure, I am going to advance the planet's technology in your time." "I will ready your military and prepare for the coming war." "Earth will be able to repulse the alien forces." "And how do you plan to accomplish all this?" "By conquering your world." "I tell you as a courtesy." "This is going to happen." "Hand over Captain America, stay out of my way or face my wrath." "If I really am responsible for all this," "I have to stand down." "There's too much at stake." "But the rest of the world, it's your decision, Tony." "You're the futurist, after all." "Tony, you can't possibly..." "We know the Kree are coming." "We already met them." "Kang's got technology more advanced than anything I ever dreamed of." "He could be the world's only hope." "But he's being a real jerk about it." "Avengers, take him." "I hope you enjoy the rest of your days on this dead earth for this is where I'm leaving you." "Huh?" "Okay, I'm impressed." "I sensed them the second we got here." "Cockroaches can survive anything." "Iron man, get to the chair." "That's our ticket home." " What?" "But I can't..." " You're the only one who can." "You really hope to defeat me by throwing rocks at me, you mindless monster?" "It's called a distraction, smart guy." "Unable to analyze." "Error." "Argh, come on!" "This isn't magic." "It's technology." "There has to be logic to it." "Yield!" "You dare?" "We're running out of time, Tony." "Come on, come on." "I don't understand." "I can't do it." "There's just no way to..." "Jarvis, stop." "Connect to port 290926 now." "No." "A very smart man told me once that those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it." "Your tech is incredibly advanced, Kang, but some of its physical systems are based on very, very old technology." "Stark industries technology." "Activate time circuits, now." "You will pay for this." "This is not over." "Cap and I don't agree on a lot, but on this we do." "It's over." "Damocles, recall, now." " Good work, soldier." " Thanks." "You know he'll be back, right?" "That's the problem with the future." "It's always there waiting for you." "Did the natives surrender?" "They did not." "Time to show the 21st century how I earned the title of conqueror."
