"Am I not Thanos! Did I not butcher the woman who gave me birth, who force-fed me into this Hell called life?! Is not the wake of my passing crimson with the blood of my enemies and allies alike?! Death is with me every second of the day! My every moment is spent in either dealing out death or worshipping [sic] it!"
