He's Spider-Man in Marvel, but he insists I'm Superman.

Bruce Banner woke up on the sofa, shirtless and wearing only his underwear, still half asleep.

Before he could even see his surroundings clearly, he felt pain all over his body, as if he had been ravaged by a dozen burly men.

"Didn't I just transform into the Hulk?"

Banner forced himself to stay awake; his memory was still stuck in the time when he had just transformed into the Hulk.

However, when he recalled losing control in the factory and transforming into the enraged Hulk, Banner couldn't help but show a hint of regret on his face.

He could imagine just how much damage an enraged Hulk could cause to the factory.

And those innocent workers may already be...

Thinking about this, Banner couldn't help but feel extremely distressed.

He didn't want to hurt the innocent, but everything was beyond his control.

Despite his best efforts to restrain himself, he still couldn't completely stop the madman inside him.

Previously, he had even tried to end his own life several times, but was saved by the Hulk inside him each time.

But at this moment, he could only bury his regret and helplessness deep in his heart, open his somewhat bewildered eyes, and look at his surroundings.

"Where...am I?"

However, the moment Banner saw his surroundings clearly, he was incredulous.

He imagined waking up in a deserted wilderness, in ruins ravaged by the Hulk, or even being captured by General Ross and waking up in an impenetrable prison.

But she never imagined that she would wake up in a villa that looked incredibly luxurious.

Moreover, he was shirtless, but fortunately, a new set of clothes seemed to have been prepared for him on the table next to him.

"Mr. Banner, welcome. Please wait a moment. I have informed Mr. Stark, and he will be here shortly."

As Banner finished dressing and looked around at the luxurious surroundings with great curiosity, noticing the beautiful seaside view through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, a slightly electronic voice suddenly rang out.

"Who are you? Where am I? And who is Stark...?"

Banner was filled with doubt at this moment, and couldn't help but look at the empty luxury villa and shout loudly.

However, instead of a mechanical reply, a slightly frivolous voice responded.

"You're finally awake, Dr. Bruce Banner."

Upon hearing the sound, Banner turned around and saw a figure walking up the stairs from the basement, smiling and extending a hand to him.

Welcome!

Banner hesitated for a moment before shaking hands with the other person, then looked at their face as if he felt a sense of familiarity: "I feel like I've seen you somewhere before?"

"That's normal, many people have seen me..."

Tony released his grip, walked to the wine cabinet next to him, opened the cabinet door, and prepared to pick out a bottle of expensive wine to entertain Banner.

"What would you like to drink? Lafite? Brandy? Or whiskey...?"

While making her selections, she didn't forget to ask Banner's opinion.

"Um, I think I'd better not drink, otherwise this villa of yours..."

Banner shook his head to refuse, primarily because the unfamiliar environment made him wary.

Secondly, he was afraid that after drinking, he would lose control of himself and turn into an angry green monster again, tearing down the luxurious villa.

"Don't worry, Peter said before he left that if you turn into that green monster again, he'll beat you up all over again..."

"Oh, no, I mean I should beat up that big green thing inside your body."

Tony ignored Banner's suggestion, took a bottle of expensive red wine from the wine cabinet, sat down on the sofa opposite Banner, and casually said something while pouring the wine.

He handed the poured wine glass to Banner and said, "Besides, it's just a villa. We can always rebuild it."

Sometimes, Tony is just that incredibly extravagant.

"Um, I'd like to figure out first, where exactly am I? Who are you? And this Peter you mentioned..."

Banner did not take the drink Tony offered, but instead asked with a serious expression.

"Okay, it seems I need to formally introduce myself!"

Tony placed the wine on the table, and the casual expression on his face slowly disappeared.

"I am none other than America's most dazzling genius, philanthropist, billionaire, playboy, and the helmsman of Stark Industries..."

"Are you Tony Stark?"

Before the flamboyant Tony could finish his introduction, Banner revealed his identity with a look of shock on his face.

"It seems I'm still quite well-known."

Tony put away his solemn expression and said proudly.

"I saw you in the gossip news before, but that was a few years ago, so I didn't recognize you just now..."

Banner suddenly realized that the last time he saw Tony on TV was before Tony hid his identity. Nearly two and a half years had passed, so it was understandable that he didn't recognize him.

"But why am I here? What happened before?"

Banner quickly became even more puzzled. Tony Stark was a well-known arms dealer in the United States, and he had never had any dealings with him before. Why would he suddenly appear at his villa?

"Wait, I just woke up, and I was shirtless and very weak. Could it be...?"

Banner looked at Tony in disbelief, remembering how weak he had just been.

Even when he was being pursued by the military after transforming into the Hulk, he never felt that weak after waking up.

"You fucking idiot?"

"What?"

Tony was completely bewildered...

……

Fortunately, at that moment, a figure suddenly descended from the sky and landed directly at the villa's entrance.

No, it wasn't one person, but two people.

One of them was Peter, while the other was a middle-aged man with a weathered face, wearing thin-rimmed glasses, and possessing a refined and scholarly demeanor.

However, he still looked a little dazed at the moment, as if he had not yet recovered from the shock of flying at high speed.

"Let's go inside, Dr. Otto..."

"Are you sure this is what I've been dreaming of?"

Dr. Otto Octavius, also known as the future Doctor Octopus.

At this point, however, he had not yet become Doctor Octopus and was still dedicated to creating an endless energy source that could be used by countless people for free.

But Peter told him that what he wanted to create was about to be truly realized here.

"Of course, Dr. Otto, you can trust me completely."

Peter nodded and then walked into the villa first.

Then, they saw Tony and Banner staring at each other, seemingly not having a very pleasant conversation.

"What... happened to you?"

Peter asked curiously.

"snort!"

Tony snorted coldly, too embarrassed to say what had just happened.

Banner seemed quite shocked the moment he saw Peter. More importantly, the thing inside him seemed to become incredibly irritable and active.

"You guys get out of here! I'm about to lose control!"

Banner's face was contorted in pain, as if he were enduring something with all his might.

His eyes had even begun to turn green, and this color gradually spread outwards until his entire face turned green.

"Oh? Is this what it looks like when he transforms?"

Tony looked at Banner with curiosity, but because Peter was there, he showed no sign of panic.

Dr. Otto looked terrified and couldn't help but take a step back.

"What, Hulk, want a few more punches from me?"

Peter stepped forward slowly and spoke like a homeroom teacher reprimanding elementary school students.

"No!"

Hulk roared, but a hint of fear flashed in his eyes as he looked at Peter, which quickly subsided. The green on Banner's face also disappeared rapidly.

"Who are you? How could you... help me suppress it?"

Banner, having regained control of his body, stared at Peter in shock. This was the first time the Hulk had failed to take over his consciousness and body.

"Don't worry, Dr. Banner, if Hulk doesn't behave, I'll teach him a lesson myself!"

"But now, everyone should prepare to witness the birth of a miracle belonging to all human civilization!"

"Tony, are you ready?"

After Peter finished speaking to Banner and Otto, he turned to look at Tony.

"Of course, you'll be in for a real eye-opener!"
