Right, the ghosts. They're gonna be helpin' us from the other side, figurin' out how to outsmart that thing.
[His eyes focus on Marty.] Fightin' it ain't doin' anything, so we gotta move to other methods.
[What, he doesn't know. There's no cosmic power here to aid them, no idea how the shadow's power works. Just that hitting it does nothing and it travels fast. But there has to be a way, there always is.]
Force Galactic. Power of the universe. Hence, "Universal". [The meaning behind his title.] I got it from a cosmic space bein' called V'Stalu while it called me to fight off an evil future alternate timeline version of someone I knew. Everyone else that was called there ran off to fight him and his giant robot usin' their talents, but I stayed back, watchin' them as Jim killed them all.
Then I asked V'Stalu why he could use his omnipotence to help, but it turns out members of the Galaxium can't interfere directly when mortals are involved, so I asked him to transfer his power to me to fight Jim. Then I took aaaall his powers away, made sure the good version of him was alright, and saved the universe.
And then I brought all those who died back to life, even the ones who were trapped in a wormhole. Don't remember how that part happened, but it did, and then they were all safe when I teleported them to Mars and resurrected my old saloon.
[He smiles proudly at his achievement. Mordecai Benmont Jiminy: barkeep, mayor, and hero of the universe.]
I think I can do pretty much anythin' I want with them, so long as I think of a use. The Conductor and the other scientists ain't gonna stand no chance once I'm back to full power, be sure of it!
