"Red, ah haven't the faintest idea what you even talkin' about," Rogue replied, in no way belying her 1990s awareness of popular culture.

They do look very similar," she says, pulling the Spear of Destiny out from behind her back. "I found it in the realm behind that door," she says, motioning to a door five doors down, on their left, one of many located in the catacombs. "And I of course killed those barbarians. They thought it was gift from the gods."
"Lucky me," our heroine interjected between the Squad lovers, "Now ah get to rough up you an' your girlfriend."
It was the timely arrival of Thor that gave her the confidence to really engage them in a brawl, and come to the Amason's aid.

He slammed into the wall of the catacomb, but quickly shook off the pain and hurled a loose boulder at her with all his might. This quick surprise attack managed to knock Superwoman off her feet, but soon he had no time to press a further attack as he caught a scorching beam of heat vision on his bracelet. Although the beam deflected, the intense heat was becoming too much.

Restrained by Amason, she went crashing into the ground with astounding force
"Heh. Ya'll are gonna make me say it this time, ain't'cha?"
Ultra-Rogue deftly charged into battle right behind the Thunder God.
She tackled Superwoman as Thor engaged Power Woman. The heat vision attack was driven away from Simon as it raked across the ceiling. Rogue pushed her into another part of Madame Xanadu's place-- through a bookshelf. And a wall. And another wall.
"Ah'd say we're as thick as thieves, tryin' t'steal the same stuff, but the only 'thick' thing here is your thick head goin' through every wall, cueball."
Trading punches was a dangerous game when you have to choose, one at a time, through the exact same powers your opponent has all at once. Fortunately, Ultra-Rogue had been in a lot of ultra-scraps. Strength on, Strength off. Invulnerability on, Invulnerability off. Like clockwork, but with more flying fists.

"And furthermore, there's no way you could get Vandal Savage to be your lackey. Everything I've heard about him indicates he's got an ego the size of the Multiverse itself. He'd sooner stab you in the back than be your lapdog."

"You might be right, Hummingbird. Whoever these people are, it is clear Immortus is not one for sensible negotiation" he said, staring down The Destroyer
The Asgardian Goddess and Engine of Destruction stepped forward.
"You'll find, here in Limbo, things tend to make very little sense altogether. It is why Troy and I act plainly, in a matter all understand."
She drew her sword, slashing wide. The armor's visor lifted and fired an energy blast at Hummingbird and the Demon.
"Now, fall before the Savage Sword of SIF!"
