The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics.

Chapter 34 The Birth of Gwen Spider

"So, where did you build such a large secret base?" Gwen looked around. "You couldn't have bought such a large piece of land, could you?"

"If that's the case, it can't be called a secret base." Yang Le operated on the console, and the screen lit up, playing images.

Reef Gwen said in amazement as she looked at the fish swimming in the image.

"Are we in the sea now?"

"To be precise, it's the Atlantic Ocean. Mining such a large space underwater is exhausting. Underwater, the Ice Ghost is indeed not as useful as the Big Steel Teeth."

As Yang Le spoke, he pounded his waist to show how hard he had worked.

"You mean, we walked through a door and ended up at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean from Queens? Are you Drewby?"

Yang Le did not rush to explain, but instead pulled up another picture.

"Like I said before, I'm a time traveler, and this sphere is the culprit that brought me to this universe. Don't be fooled by its unassuming appearance; its creator is the smartest person in the entire universe. By studying it, I've gained a lot of interesting gadgets."

"But those are not the protagonists today." Yang Le said and pressed a few buttons on the console.

"Our focus today is this, the Hand, and they are the culprits who hurt your father."

A symbol appeared on the screen, a bright red palm print, but in the center of the palm there was no palm print, but a human face, which looked a bit curious.

"Please forgive me, this is a drawing I made based on my memory. It may differ slightly from the original, but that's just as well. It saves them from issuing me a subpoena. After all, these symbols have been passed down for many years, and people are particularly keen on suing others for infringement."

"Harpy~" Gwen looked helplessly at the funny Yang Le, and the avenger mood that she had just been brewing was interrupted.

"Let's lighten the atmosphere, ahem, let's get to the point." Yang Le coughed and put on a serious face.

"The reason I speculated it was the Hand's doing is because of their iconic ninja elements, and most importantly, they don't leave behind corpses after death, but instead turn into a pile of ash, leaving no clues for the enemy. They are simply perfect killers."

"Of course, the lack of clues is the biggest clue. Because they leave no bodies behind, anyone can tell they're the Hand. They've already given themselves away."

"They don't want to leave any clues, so they won't leave a body after death. But not leaving a body will expose their identity." Gwen scratched his head. Why did it feel like this organization was not very smart?

"But don't underestimate them. The Hand is still quite powerful. Based on your description, the one you encountered that day was just a minion at best. The real troublemakers are those guys who master strange ninjutsu and magic."

Speaking of magic, Yang Le couldn't help but feel a headache. Most of the alien heroes in the Omnitrix had very low magic resistance, and if he encountered them, he might be in a tough fight.

"No matter how dangerous it is, it won't stop me." Gwen looked at Yang Le with a resolute gaze. "Those ninjas want to kill my father. I can't just watch him die."

"I've always made a mess of my life. The only thing I've held onto since I was a kid is music. But now I have this power, and I don't want to keep losing it. I want to use this power to protect everything around me, starting with my father."

"What you said just now had a bit of Spider-Man flavor." Yang Le applauded Gwen's speech.

Yang Le is actually not that familiar with the story of Universe 65. He only knows that Gwen is a multiverse street urchin like Wang Xiaoming. Oh, and the famous Lizard Man Peter also comes from this universe.

However, the reason why Peter turned into a lizard man was due to long-term school bullying and excessive admiration for Gwen.

But now Peter has defeated Thompson, become a celebrity in the school, and is also affectionate with Mary Jane. No matter how you think about it, it is impossible for him to turn into a lizard man. Something is wrong. Yang Le frowned at this thought. He remembered that George's assassination should have been after Peter turned into a lizard man and died, but now George's assassination was brought forward. Could it be that this is not Universe 65?
"What's wrong, Happy?" Gwen looked at Yang Le, who suddenly stopped talking, in confusion.

"Oh, nothing, I just thought of something unimportant." Yang Le waved his hand, signaling Gwen not to worry about it.

"By the way, I've prepared some gifts for you in order to deal with the Hand."

Yang Le snapped his fingers, and a cylindrical cabinet as tall as a person rose from the ground.

"I made a battle suit for you to protect your safety." Yang Le took Gwen to the closet. The protective cover of the closet slowly opened, revealing the equipment inside.

Yang Le did not show off his meager design talent, but chose the classic design of Ghost Spider. A battle suit with pink, white and black as the main colors appeared in front of Gwen.

"Wow, it's hard to imagine that this design was made by you." Gwen looked at the battle suit in front of her with satisfaction, and couldn't help but touch it, while not forgetting to complain about Yang Le's aesthetic taste.

'It looks good, right? You designed it yourself.' Yang Le thought to himself as he watched Gwen, who couldn't let go of it.

Ignoring Gwen's complaints, Yang Le continued to introduce the equipment.

"The suit is made of a composite fiber that the Pranksters put together. He said it could be used to make pants for the Hulk."

"Hulk? What is that? And it's made of underwear material?" Gwen felt a chill and quickly retracted her hand. She also wiped it on Yang Le's body, as if she had touched something dirty.

"This is a metaphor! Do you understand the metaphor?" Yang Le looked at Gwen with a frown.

"The Hulk is also a superhero, and it's hard to explain in a few words. All you need to know is that this material is very strong."

Yang Le picked up the peculiarly shaped bracelet next to the battle suit and put it on Gwen.

"This is a web shooter. With it, you can defeat any super villain."

Looking at the puzzled Gwen, Yang Le also installed a spider silk launcher and prepared to start his own story.

"Look, this is how you use the spider web shooter."

After saying that, Yang Le stretched out his arm, retracted his middle finger and ring finger, pressed the switch located in the palm of his hand, and then nothing happened.

"?" Gwen looked at Yang Le in confusion.

Yang Le scratched his head and said awkwardly, "Sorry, I forgot that the trigger button requires 180 pounds of force. I can't press it."

This design is actually a kind of insurance. Only someone with super powers like Spider-Man can use the spider silk launcher at will. Yang Le thought it was great, so he added it in, but he didn't expect to shoot himself in the foot.

Gwen shook her head, stretched out her hand and followed Yang Le's instructions, pressing it down easily, but still no spider silk shot out.

"Press the button twice quickly to shoot the web."

Yang Le said quietly from the side.
