- Shadow King: [upon possessing Storm] They locked me in a cold, dead world without light, without feeling, but in this body, he will not dare attack me. Xavier! I have won! Now I shall rule my beloved Cairo as never before! With my mind, these powers, every criminal in the city will have to work for me!
- Shadow King: [in Storm's body; to Rogue] Storm is occupied at present. Kindly leave us before you anger her.
- Shadow King: Rain! She has returned, as I planned. Storm, godmother to this body, slave to this soul, how will you greet us? Soon, very soon, you will return where you belong, into the service of the Shadow King!
