"I know you usually deal with Galactus and Doom, but those guys are pretty straightforward. One wants to eat the planet, the other one wants to beat your brother-in-law 'cause of some longstanding grudge. Take away their powers and Galactus is just a really big guy and Doom's no worse than your typical bully at the science fair."
Okay, so I'm oversimplifying. Still, Doom's never been all that terrifying to me. Dude's crazy, yeah, but Norman makes him look downright well-adjusted.
"I've had every bone in my body broken. I've been shot, electrocuted, poisoned, burned, bitten, stabbed -- and that's only the shortlist. I've fought everything from mutants and gods to street hoods and my own costume. And I'm telling you, if it had been anyone else, I'd sit back with a nonexistent mai tai, kick up my feet, and point and laugh at the poor schmuck for days until the pity finally settled in."
