Not sure if serious...
Now, even the mighty Statesman will bow down before me! Bow down before my POWER! You heroes will not save the world this day. You shall merely be the first sacrifices on this, the altar of my victory!

That's classic chew-the-scenery villainy.

Anyway, Lord Recluse is my favorite NPC in the game. I hope that he's alive and well until the day the servers shut down!

And he was like

"lol, you just salty"

And then him and his friends all laughed and made weird faces at you until you left.

His friends were all laughing at him, and he was laughing because it tickled. That's just how Recluse is. He knows it. He'll never deny that he's got lots of doe.

Relative to Recluse, yes. But so are guys like Paste Pot Pete and #1 Fan, so that ain't saying much.

Hey, it's ok. Not everyone can be as cool as Big Man Recluse. You don't have to pretend you're not jealous. Maybe if you heat up a pot pie for him he'll let you lick his boots.

Big Man Recluse? Is that the one that's played by Kevin Nash?

Really though someone who insists on being referred to as "lord" may as well call himself big man. Same effect. You think he's compensating for a small ovipositor?

I like his dialogue from the future in the patron arcs.

Ghost Widow's one, for example...

Before combat: "I stand now in my Triumph! Destroyer of Statesman! Ruler of the world!"
Combat start: "10 years ago you disappeared, and at that moment I knew this day would come."
"Now you will die, 'Destined One'!"
75% Health: "Your powers are nothing compared to my own!"
50% Health: "You have angered me, Character! You will suffer for it!"
25% Health: "I will not fall! Not against you!"
Defeated: "I am Lord Recluse!"
"It is impossible!"
"I cannot be defeated like this..."
Defeats player: "You were nothing to be afraid of. NOTHING!"

The sentence which he utters if he defeats you, omg.

Sounds like he's trying to convince himself more than anything else.

Probably. When I faced him, the first thing he did was scream like a girl and throw a horde of henchmen at me.

Such as? About the only things I remember from him is that "you will no longer have to bow down to those who deem themselves your superiors" and "grasp with both hands the glorious future of havoc" and that's only because that ******* speech plays on an endless look while I'm trying to speak with Terrance Dobbs.

I feel a little sorry for Recluse. I mean... you have Portal Corp going to ALL these other dimensions, and not in a single one of them has Recluse apparently taken over the world. Hell, the Clockwork King managed to do so, but Lord Recluse? Naaaaa. In fact, even his Praetorian version was slaughtered at the Well of Furies by Cole.

I wonder if he EVER managed to succeed in any alternate dimension. I find that most of the Dimensions are populated by alternate versions of Cole. Trolololol. I'm looking at you Tyrant and Reichsman.

I blame his skin condition.

I believe they make a lotion for it.

You guys need to stop picking on him, he's a good guy. He volunteers to help pick up trash in perez every weekend, as well as donates money to helping save near-extinct species of animals.

And those videos in Mercy/Grandville?

They were originally "This child needs your help" videos, but his 4 co-workers told him it wasn't helping his image, and convinced him to change them.

I don't see Statesman doing that.

Well, I don't see him doing much of anything anymore!

In I23, Recluse's problem of getting his butt kicked by Marcus Cole goes inter-dimensional

My pet theory is that Primal Earth is an anomaly in regards to the alignments of Stefan and Marcus. In short, other alternates of Stefan are good guys that won't kill faced against a Marcus that will (and then go on to marry your sister)
