There seem to be a few consistently present in various realities.

[ The Grandmaster was one too, technically. ]

[passingthrough]

Seems like it. More than I was expecting. My world had a despot trying to rule or destroy everything, but he wasn't all that mysterious or troublesome to locate.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki shrugs. ]

It's thematic, but rarely original.

[passingthrough]

True. He was definitely just 12-upping [when one-upping isn't enough] jerks from history. And elsewhere in the galaxy.

[dothelokimotion]

Who was this?

[ Not that Loki cares, but he's curious. ]

[passingthrough]

Apocalypse. At least that's what he went by. His original name as far as we know is En Sabah Nur.

[dothelokimotion]

Ah. Suitably dramatic.

[ Who names themselves Apocalypse? It's almost as bad as the other superhero names they tout around. ]

[passingthrough]

Right? I went with Shadowcat, but at least I was only fourteen.

[dothelokimotion]

Age is a reasonable excuse.

[passingthrough]

Thank you. I mean maybe he named himself at thirteen too. Just a little kid running around with dreams of destroying everything utterly.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Blandly. ]

We all have our hobbies.

[passingthrough]

It's not exactly like taking up hacky sack or cross-stitch.

[dothelokimotion]

[ He blinks. ]

I have no idea what those are.

[passingthrough]

Random hobbies? You didn't have macaroni art or something in Valhalla or wherever?

[dothelokimotion]

Valhalla is our conceptualization of Heaven.

So no.

[passingthrough]

Hey, right general vicinity. [ish.] What did you call home?

[dothelokimotion]

[ Hm. ]

It was known as Asgard.

[passingthrough]

Oh right, that's what it was. I guess it must really be a place back home too.

[dothelokimotion]

[ His expression is flat. ]

It would exist in many realities. As do the Gods.

[passingthrough]

Sure. I just meant specifically mine since our worlds are more tied together than some.

[dothelokimotion]

[ His eyes narrow. ]

I don't follow. How are they tied?

[passingthrough]

You know, because there are are worlds where versions of the Avengers and X-Men crossover teams and know each other. [At least she thinks he must know because she doesn't realize he came back at all much less with no memories from before. Like of dating Rogue.]

[dothelokimotion]

While I am familiar with such theories and their legitimacy, I have never heard of any "X-Men".

[ And he thought Avengers was a bad name. ]

[passingthrough]

What? I mean... [Not sure what to say.]

...How long have you been here?

[dothelokimotion]

Barely a month. Why?
