I enjoy Stan Lee's dialogue much like some people enjoy B movies. And the fact that the arrogance level of the villain is not impacted by his or her powers makes it even more hilarious.
Yes, I can see why Magneto and Dr. Doom have reason to be cocky. But even his lesser bad guys, folks with powers like hollow bones, speak in the same grandiose way. "Behold how I make the airwaves subservient to my will! Tremble, like a lowly mouse would tremble before a mighty bird of prey! Bwhahahaha!"

Absolutely bonkers, and I love every bit of it.
Same here! I am aware but immune to its cringe factor. And B-movies makes for a fitting analogy.
BTW, I almost added a line very close to "Tremble, like a lowly mouse..." mos def with the word"tremble." Thanks for a great comment!
