Odin Borson (Earth-1010)/Quotes

"Once... mankind accepted a simple truth, that they were not alone in this universe. Some worlds, man believed to be home to their gods. Others, they knew to fear. From a Realm of cold and darkness, came the Frost Giants. Threatening to plunge the mortal world, into a new ice age. But humanity, would not face this threat alone. Our armies drove the Frost Giants back into the heart of their own world. The cost was great. In the end, their king fell. And the source of their power, was taken from them. With the last great war ended, we withdrew from the other worlds, and returned home, to the realm eternal... Asgard. And here, we remain as the beacon of hope. Shining out across the stars. And though we have fallen into man's myths and legends, it was Asgard, and its warriors, that brought peace... to the universe."

- Odin

"Thor Odinson... you have betrayed the express command of your king. Through your arrogance and stupidity, you've opened these peaceful realms and innocent lives to the horror and desolation of war! You are unworthy of these realms, you're unworthy of your title, you're unworthy... of the loved ones you have betrayed! I now take from you your power! In the name of my father and his father before, I, Odin Allfather, cast you out!"

- Odin to Thor

"When I'm king, I'll hunt the monsters down and slay them all, just as you did, father." "A wise king never seeks out war, but... he must always be ready for it." "I'm ready, Father." "So am I." "Only one of you can ascend to the throne. But both of you, were born to be kings."

"Thor Odinson, my heir, my first-born. So long entrusted with the mighty hammer, Mjølnir. Forged in the heart of a dying star. It's power has no equal! as a weapon to destroy, or as a tool to build. It is a fit companion for a king. I have defended Asgard, and the lives of the innocent across the Nine Realms, in the time of the Great Beginning. And though the day has come for a new King... Do you swear to guard the Nine Realms?" "I swear." "And do you swear to preserve the peace?" "I swear." "Do you swear, to cast aside all selfish ambition, and to pledge yourself only to the good of the realms?" "I swear!" "Then on this day, I, Odin Allfather, will proclaim you..."

- Odin and Thor

"You were an innocent child." "No. You took me for a purpose. What was it?... TELL ME!" "I thought we could unite our kingdoms one day. Bring about an alliance, bring about permanent peace... through you."

- Odin and Loki

"You'll be a wise King." "There will never be a wiser king than you. Or a better father. I have much to learn. I know that now. But some day, perhaps, I will make you proud." "You've already made me proud."

- Odin and Thor

"How much dark energy did the All-father have to muster to conjure you here?"

- Loki to Thor

"Frigga is why you still live, but this was the last time you will ever see her again. Spend the rest of your wicked days in the dungeons... Loki Laufeyson."

- Odin to Loki

- Odin and Frigga
