[The voice is harsh, deep, and almost whispered. It sounds somewhat unearthly.]

The weed of crime ever bears bitter fruit, and thus I rise again to eradicate it. You have done well in bringing me here. There are mysteries here, infinite ones - but they will be solved.

I succeed. The key to these mysteries shall be mine, because..The Shadow knows!

[And then, the familiar dark laugh, the bane of crime for decades and across universes.]

One of my predecessors stopped Nazi activity on American soil. Said he did it with the help of a "government man".

Looking back now, maybe he should've realized it was you.

Gosh, recognized me even with the changed username :P Good to see you!

[He nods, slowly]

Your predecessors were crimefighters of great note; you will have to do much to prove worthy of their mantle.

Dude, I'd know those icons anywhere! 8D

[He nods at this, choosing to downplay his own accomplishments as the fourth in line. The Master of Darkness has a knack for finding them out sooner or later anyway.]

It helps having their counsel. Even today, their widsom and experience stands firm.

A good thing too. Crime hasn't changed. It's simply expanded into new frontiers.
