- By Zeus-- 'Tis done at last! I feel the energies flooding my being, filling my every molecule with power beyond even my expectations-- Power to rule all of puny mankind! HA HA HA HA! Attention, my subjects-- And heed the word of your master... He who was once called Alexander the Great and shall be so named once again! I have but toyed with your mightiest hero-- And he has done naught but fail... Yet in doing so, has made my conquest possible! For if he cannot defeat Alexander, even your missiles and bombs are as nothing to me-- And your leaders shall soon see the futility of opposing me! But send your champion from the stars against me-- So that the whole world may witness his final, lasting defeat and know that for all time that Alexander is supreme!
