American comic book: Absolute Spider-Man

The Absolute Universe is quite good as Peter's first stop in stepping out of the multiverse.

Most of the villains here are city-level, so they don't pose much of a threat to Peter. Even if he can't beat them, he can always run away.

Unlike other DC multiverses, where planetary and cosmic villains abound, major events occur frequently, and the Justice League is wiped out every now and then, you might be at home eating hotpot and singing karaoke when suddenly you're gone.

The Justice League's Big Three haven't even made their debut yet, and while supervillains exist, none have shown any particularly overwhelming power.

The government has an organization like Area 41, similar to S.H.I.E.L.D., that deals with superpowered individuals, but unlike S.H.I.E.L.D., it doesn't send out agents to spy on the entire world. It's a good place to establish your own power base.

Peter's desire to build his own power base wasn't for the purpose of becoming king or conqueror; he was simply disgusted by the Marvel universe.

Government and military research into super-soldier serum, gamma rays, mutant genes, and artificial intelligence has directly or indirectly given rise to numerous supervillains or destabilizing factors, such as Extremis, Abominations, Sentinel robots, and Sentinels.

S.H.I.E.L.D., an organization targeting superpowered individuals, has been thoroughly infiltrated by Hydra. If Steve were to shout "Hail Hydra!" from the Helicarrier, the scene would be...

That would be one thing, but the problem is that the US government's treatment of the superheroes who save the world can be described as systematic persecution.

Whether in movies or comics, the US government outwardly praises superheroes in accordance with public opinion, but inwardly it has never given up on turning all superhumans into registered assets.

Hunting down mutants, dissecting and studying them, using mutant genes to create superhumans for the military, or using drugs and other technologies to brainwash powerful mutants for use as weapons.

Uncover the identities of those unidentified superheroes, use their families as leverage to get them to do things, or send those who refuse to cooperate to prisons for superhumans and conduct random human experiments.

Alternatively, a law could be enacted requiring people with superpowers to either register and serve the government or become wanted criminals facing endless persecution.

Peter believes that in some parallel universes, superheroes turn to the dark side and become villains who rule the world simply because they are forced to do so by the US government.

Anyway, he wasn't going to put up with this humiliation anymore. With a bunch of scoundrels around, how could the superheroes possibly save the world?

"Onion! Orange!" Twenty newly modified Extremis soldiers stood in two rows and saluted Peter.

These people were all handpicked by Peter; they were former elites from various industries.

They were all people who had been eliminated by the social system once, falling to the brink of elimination. As for the abilities of these losers, Peter was still confident.

In the United States, falling below the cutoff line is often not due to a lack of ability, but simply bad luck.

The US's elimination mechanism is truly outrageous.

A layoff, a serious illness, a car accident, a lawsuit—just one of these can turn a middle-class person with an annual income of over 100,000 yuan into a spendthrift who has to pay rent with credit cards every month within three months.

Then, after another three months, if the spendthrift doesn't have a stroke of luck and make a comeback, they can live under a bridge like Marcus.

After recruiting these people, Peter injected them with a stable and safe Extremis virus, paid them more than 99% of the country's population, and even helped them repair their broken families, all in order to ensure their loyalty and reliability.

Some of them will enter government and military departments, where they will climb the ranks using the resources Peter provides, and recruit suitable people to join them.

Another group followed Peter to establish a branch of Parker Industries in this universe.

As for establishing Kamar-Taj in DC and spreading the Vishanti faith, let's leave that for later. There's still plenty of time; we can wait until we find a safer universe to discuss it.

……

Three years later, in Manhattan, New York, on the banks of the Hudson River, at the headquarters of DC Universe's Parker Industries, stands a 36-story dark gray glass building, the Parker Tower.

Inside the top-floor office, Peter was sitting at his desk, handling company affairs.

For the past three years, he has devoted all his energy to developing Parker Industries and cultivating his own representatives in the government and the military. As for magical training, apart from cultivating his mental strength through meditation, he has long since stopped everything else.

As early as his first year back in the human world, he discovered that there were quite a few entities in the absolute universe that could borrow power.

But he looked down on the weaker ones, such as some mystical beings who called themselves gods, like the Greek pantheon to which Diana belonged.

These scoundrels give little but demand much, daring to claim a large amount of flesh or soul after setting off a few lightning bolts and burning a few fires.

If it weren't for the fact that the blessing from Vishanti couldn't be replenished, Peter would have already launched an attack in his Gundam form and slapped these usurers on the head with the unequal treaty.

Peter doesn't know how other Marvel universes define a Celestial-level power level; he only knows that in his universe, a Celestial means an entity capable of creating or destroying galaxies, while a Sub-Celestial-level power level would easily extinguish a star.

As for the stronger ones, they don't even exist in this universe; they can respond to the prayers of the borrowing power across world barriers.

Peter, now small and weak, and mentally unstable, only turns to them for help when he's lost his mind.

Just as Peter was working on a document, the voice of Friday, the AI ​​system co-developed by Tony Reed and others, suddenly blared from the office speakers.

"Sir," a holographic projection lit up on the open space opposite the desk, "the satellite has detected an unidentified object in outer orbit, which is rapidly approaching Earth and is expected to enter the atmosphere in four minutes and thirty seconds."

Peter looked at the images captured by the satellite launched by Parker Industries, where a spaceship emitting a red glow was being magnified continuously.

Oh, the people's Superman is coming!

"Marcus." Peter pressed the communicator on the table.

"Yes, boss," Marcus's voice rang out.

"The entire First Airlift Unit is fully armored and ready for action, and the Quinjet engines are warming up."

"receive!"

……

Let's rewind to half an hour ago.

In the deep space of outer space, outside our solar system, a spaceship from Krypton is heading towards Earth.

Because Krypton's scientific alliance is not enthusiastic about interstellar exploration, the spaceship's artificial intelligence, Thor, does not have information on habitable planets in its database.

This aimless journey has lasted for a year and a half. There is no cryogenic hibernation equipment in the spaceship, and poor Karl El has survived for the past year and a half in the cramped spaceship on nutrient solution.

Besides the artificial intelligence Thor, all that accompanied him was the torture-like loneliness of deep space.

This wasn't the first time Karl had begged Thor to open the spaceship's hatch and let the vacuum and radiation of space give him a good, cathartic release.

However, Thor's underlying logic was to continue the bloodline of the El family, so he refused his master's orders.

The spaceship ventured into the solar system with a tentative mindset, hoping to find a habitable planet where it could land.

Yellow sunlight streamed through the spaceship's windows, illuminating Karl, who looked like a prisoner.

Karl felt every cell in his body boiling, and the immense pain made him order Thor to get away from that terrible star.

But by this time, Thor had already locked onto the third planet in the solar system, a habitable planet. Once again, he disobeyed his master's orders and headed towards Earth on his own.
