Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 313 Let's go catch your dad!

"In fact, at the beginning, the side effects of the super serum were not obvious, but its enhancement of the human body was outstanding."

"It possesses speed, endurance, strength, and reaction time that surpass those of ordinary people, and even remarkable resilience and tissue regeneration capabilities."

"Aside from the occasional inability to control one's anger, which can make one's emotions easily agitated, the serum itself seems to be very successful."

Upon hearing this, Harry recalled that his father had indeed been somewhat emotionally unstable for a period of time, and would even inexplicably get angry at him.

However, at that time, Harry only thought that his father was unhappy with his joining the Avengers and always participating in some dangerous activities, so he didn't care too much about it.

Of course, more importantly, this period of emotional instability did not last long, and Norman Osborne soon returned to his former refined and kind demeanor.

Seeing Harry's expression, Dr. Otto clearly understood what he was thinking and continued.

"Yes, although the super serum itself seems to have some side effects, your father and I quickly found a way to suppress the negative emotions brought about by these serum enhancements."

"As long as he takes his medication regularly every day and has regular check-ups in the lab, everything will be fine."

"Furthermore, the two of us have been researching the serum itself, trying to further improve it and find a way to solve the serum's side effects once and for all."

"That?"

Hearing Dr. Otto say this, Harry's expression of doubt deepened.

'Wasn't everything moving in a positive direction? Why did it turn out like this?'

To everyone's surprise, seeing the confusion on Harry's face, a bitter look flashed across Dr. Otto's face.

"But now New York is ruined."

"The inhibitor that Norman used is a serum-like product, and it doesn't have an expiration date. Even if it's refrigerated, it can only be stored for about three to five days."

“Previously, the two of us would make a new dose of suppressant every day to suppress the emotional outbursts caused by the serum.”

Upon hearing this, Harry's expression changed several times, and even the documents in his hands slipped from his grasp and fell to the ground without him realizing it.

Even though it's now within the resettlement area, Stark Industries will still provide medical assistance to all patients.

Some critically ill patients may even receive treatment that is better than it was before New York was destroyed.

However, even if Stark Industries wanted to provide such confidential drugs from their own laboratories, they wouldn't know where to start, as many of the targeted experimental equipment would likely require a long time to prepare.

However, after the initial panic subsided, Harry immediately noticed something amiss.

Although he hasn't had many opportunities to contact his father recently, it's not like he's completely without the chance to meet him.

The old Norman of today does not exhibit any of the emotional outbursts, or even the irritability and anger, that Dr. Otto described.

He even had the leisure to wander among various communities, shelters, and even some officials and wealthy businessmen to win people's hearts, which is not something a person who has lost control of his emotions could do.

However, after he raised his question, Dr. Otto gave another wry smile.

“After New York was destroyed, I spoke to him about this more than once, but he only said that tranquilizers could stabilize his emotions for the time being. He was completely indifferent to finding ways to deal with the side effects or even applying for a biological laboratory from Stark Industries.”

Hearing Dr. Otto's words, Harry Osborn felt no comfort; instead, his previously anxious heart died completely.

Not for any other reason, but as far as he knew, old Norman had not taken any tranquilizers recently.

You see, this family of three is no longer living in their old villa; they're now residing in a temporary makeshift hospital, which means a significant reduction in privacy. Forget about medication; besides his mother's targeted therapy drugs, there's not even a bottle of vitamin pills to be found in their home.

"So, Uncle Otto, what are you thinking now?"

“I originally wanted your father to come with me to the Los Angeles branch. Although the equipment in the lab there is a bit old, it’s still the same as the equipment in New York. At least it can help your father get a thorough check-up.”

"However, he only gave perfunctory answers several times, so I decided to take some of the original research data back with me. Although we can't know his current condition without your father's blood sample, based on the previous data, we can at least make some inhibitors to bring back for him."

After hearing Dr. Otto's explanation, Harry himself began to feel somewhat confused.

Although these are only the other party's side of the story, considering the current situation and the information he had just seen, it seems to be true. At this moment, he was somewhat at a loss as to what to do.

Should he take his elderly father for a medical checkup? Or should he bring Dr. Otto to confront his father? Or should he inform his Avengers allies for help?

Ultimately, Harry was just a kid around ten years old at the time, even though he had experienced quite a few major events.

Harry was fine with fighting monsters and aliens, but when it came to independently thinking about and handling family conflicts, he was completely at a loss.

Fortunately, he wasn't alone.

Just as Harry was hesitating and struggling, a black head with a wide grin suddenly popped out from his shoulder.

After Venom appeared, it first ruthlessly rammed its head into Harry's cheek to remind him of its presence.

Then he grinned and mocked.

"What are you worrying about? Shouldn't the core issue be why your father refuses to use medication to suppress the side effects of his own serum?"

Dr. Otto wasn't too surprised to see Venom appear.

When Harry was possessed by Venom, he and Norman Osborn helped Harry stabilize his condition and even advocated for in-depth research on Venom.

Before Harry could even speak, Dr. Otto offered his explanation.

“I now suspect that Norman has developed a completely new negative personality due to the side effects of the serum. That’s why I asked Harry earlier if Norman had shown any unusual behavior lately, or if he seemed like a different person.”

"However, if he were truly a negative personality, he could easily disguise himself as the original Norman, so if he didn't actively expose himself, there would be no way to verify it."

This time, Venom didn't look at Harry anymore, but turned its head directly to Otto, who was speaking, and its black and white face became even more flamboyant.

"An evil personality? What a cliché plot."

"But what's so hard about verifying this? Just go and bring him back! I've seen so many super soldiers, why would I be afraid of such a low-quality product?"

next moment.

Under Harry's bewildered and horrified gaze.

Venom quickly spun out a tentacle and lashed Dr. Otto across the back of the head, knocking him unconscious.

Then he looked at Harry again and said casually.

"Enough with the nonsense! If this guy can't tell right from wrong, just leave him here for now."

"Let's go, let's go and bring your dad back for a checkup too!"
