Can we make this quick? I have a nanobot fabricator cooking up a meson reactor vessel. If I don't watch the injectors, half of New York'll be... hmm. Let me write that down.
... Not buying it? Alright, you know what I'm looking for? A challenge. My greatest enemy isn't the Avengers or the X-Men, it's boredom. Crime's lost its fun.
And let's face it, you have the lock on the genius set, right? Richards, Pym, T'Challa, even Doom. Oh, and Stark too, I suppose. One-trick pony, if you ask me.
I'm not saying they're my equals, but they might have an interesting idea or two occasionally. Better than water cooler chat with M.O.D.O.K., I'll tell you that much.
Oh by the way, sometimes I'll have a remote controlled construct fill in for me. Like right now. What, you think the real me would just walk into the lion's den? Pfft. Telecommuting! Get with the times!
