American Comics: The Matrix

"No, call him Dinosaur Baby." Tony insisted. In front of his eyes, a data model was built. Through the data presented by Jarvis in that battle, he had already made a rough analysis of Flash Star's abilities.

"His legs are similar to pulleys," Jarvis said, breaking down a video by frame rate. "He moves his feet 16 times in one second. Sir, this is his normal movement speed, which can reach at least 300 miles per hour. The speed will be even faster.

"When he moves at high speed, the two toes on the pulley can secrete some kind of lubricant to help him reduce friction."

Jarvis called up a video clip, which had been slowed down many times. The surroundings seemed to be still, but the speed of the flashing star was still very fast. But at least it was clear.

"The structure of the pulley..." Tony stared at the shadow of Flash Star and thought for a while, then said, "If that's the case, then he must be more likely to slip than ordinary people..."

He found Flash Star's weakness almost instantly.

For Tony, who is highly intelligent, friction is a point of knowledge that he had already fully understood when he was four or five years old.

"Looks like I'll have to add some lubricant to the Mark IV suit next time. Or vice versa, how about some foam glue?"

Tony seemed to be in a good mood after thinking of a way to defeat the enemy, but then other problems arose.

"What is that?" He pointed at the Omnitrix symbol core on Flashstar's chest. "This thing doesn't look like a part of his body, but..."

He even felt that this thing was like his Ark reactor.

"What do you think the probability is that he is a modified creature?"

From Tony's perspective, the Flash Star doesn't look like a naturally evolved creature. Not to mention the pulley-like toes, the foldable mask on its face also doesn't look very biological.

He uses existing biological concepts to think about the existence of another world view, which is bound to lead to deviations.

"The probability is zero, sir," Jarvis said. "The X-ray scan did not detect any signs of modification inside the other party's body. The pulley structure of the foot matches the shape of the bones in the X-ray, so it can be judged as a naturally grown biological structure."

"How can this be!"

"Although it's a bit far-fetched, this is reality." Jarvis replied without any emotion, "I'm afraid this is a new species that has never been discovered before."

"No new species has intelligence comparable to that of humans right out of the gate. Jarvis even speaks English to me." Tony said seriously, "If he's not a modified creature, then he must have evolved for millions of years at least!"

"Always monitor all cameras in New York. If you find a baby dinosaur or other similar creatures, report it to me immediately. Also, investigate the person he killed—"

"Sir, do you think that the other party is not a single individual, but a group?" Jarvis immediately understood what Tony meant.

"It is impossible for such a creature to evolve naturally in the environment of the earth. If it is not a test subject that escaped from a laboratory, then it is very likely from the universe," said Tony.

"So, create another file for me and name it 'Alien'!"

I signed the contract today. Actually, the contract was due on Tuesday, but I kept delaying it until today. I heard that it can be recommended for storage, and it can also help those who invest in the past few days to get more benefits.

Please read it.

Chapter 11: Steel Shapeshifter

"There's so much high-tech in Iron Man's suit!"

In another abandoned factory in the suburbs of New York City, Bant, who had transformed into a little warrior, unscrewed almost every screw of the suit.

In front of him were circuit boards, and through Bant's wide pupils, he could clearly see how these circuit boards worked.

"The neuron units in the helmet can be connected to the wearer's armor, so that it can be controlled more freely."

It is impossible for Tony to drive a heavy object like the armor with his own physical strength, but it would be too troublesome if every small action had to be lost to Jarvis. Not to mention that in the war machine, there is no artificial intelligence like Jarvis, but it can still move.

"There are still some parts that I don't understand... My knowledge of physics is too limited." Bant sighed and jumped off the armor.

In fact, all the knowledge was in his head, but his brain was like a storage disk, which only recorded but could not use it. While the transformation time of the little warrior was not over, he decided to read more books.

About half an hour later, Bant finally waited for the little watch to exit protection mode again.

He pressed the button, and the watch movement started to rotate. The pattern on the watch stopped on a large creature. Bant pressed the movement, and black skin began to cover it. Green lines were engraved on his body like a circuit board!

"Shapeshifter!"

The Gavin Planet Transformers are an intelligent life civilization created by Azmis on Gavin Planet's satellite, Gavin B. Their life form is similar to that of an amoeba, a creature that can merge with and control mechanical objects, and even add new functions to mechanical objects, achieving extraordinary transformation.

At this moment, Bant was planning to use the Shapeshifter to try to make this energy-less armor move again.

Shapeshifters are over two meters tall. Normally they can maintain a standing bear-like posture, but they can also transform their bodies into a liquid-like state.

"This feeling is really strange." Bant said to himself, and the circular pattern on his head flashed as he spoke.

"Okay, let me see to what extent the Shapeshifter can upgrade Mark III." Bant pressed his huge palm on the armor without a core, and the next moment his body turned into liquid like Molten, and the dark green body began to cling to the armor like venom.

Almost in an instant, the originally red and gold armor turned into a black base with green lines all over it.

At the same time, the core of the Omnitrix filled the vacant Ark reactor. More importantly, at this moment, Bant felt that the suit seemed to have life, or in other words, he seemed to have become the suit itself!

He tried to stand up from the ground, and metallic and mechanical sounds were heard when his limbs moved.

"I have become one with the armor!" Bant looked down at his palm and was amazed.

Unlike simply transforming into a shapeshifter, after possessing the armor, he seemed to have gained all the auxiliary functions of the armor, and even his body felt much stronger.

He simply tried some movements like jumping and found that they were almost no different from his own body.

The armor possessed by the shapeshifter did not change much in appearance, but as long as Bant thought about it, he could make it completely different!

For example, he could transform the entire arm of the armor into a thruster or beam launch port, which could almost be said to have upgraded the Mark III to the nano level in the future Infinity War.

Of course, this does not mean that the armor really has nanotechnology. In fact, this is just a manifestation of the life characteristics of the shapeshifter itself.

"How about trying the weapon system." He struck a posture ready to attack, and the next moment, weapon systems on his arms, shoulders...all positions popped out, and small bombs were neatly arranged!

"These bombs were originally consumables, but now, the characteristics of the shapeshifters allow them to replicate infinitely."

"I'm like a mobile arsenal!" Bant became more and more excited as he looked at it. If he wasn't worried about being detected, he would even want to rush out of this abandoned factory and fly into the sky.

After playing with the battle suit for about half an hour, the little watch began to flash red and sharp alarms echoed in the factory.

Bant was forcibly separated from the armor and turned back to his original appearance. At the same time, the armor that had just been able to move freely like a human being, now fell apart like a building block with a piece of it removed.

Looking at the scattered parts, Bant patted his body and said, "Unfortunately, once the shapeshifter is separated from the object it possesses, its transformation of the object will be completely ineffective."

This means that it is actually difficult for Bant to fight in the Iron Man suit after he turns into a shapeshifter. After all, he can't carry all these parts with him everywhere. It is big and heavy, which is troublesome, and it is easy for Tony, the owner, to find it.

"It would be nice if the shapeshifter could devour technological creations like the shapeshifter."

The Shapeshifter is a shapeshifter with a genetic defect. In terms of appearance, the lines and core of the Shapeshifter's body are red, as if it is on the verge of an uncontrollable rampage, or like a program contaminated by a virus.

However, the ability of the Shapeshifter is far greater than that of the Shapeshifter. It has the ability to devour technology, integrate it into its own body, and replicate and upgrade it infinitely. It has even copied the core of the Omnitrix.

If it is a shapeshifter, it can completely "swallow" Mark 3 and then transform into the form of an iron armor anytime and anywhere.

"Forget it. I don't want the Omnitrix to be contaminated."

In the following time, Bant repeatedly waited for the cooldown of the Omnitrix to end and transformed into an alien hero until it gradually got dark...

-

New York City is not safe at night.

Here, if you walk alone on the street at night, being robbed is a common occurrence.

The journey is even more difficult when one has to walk 12 blocks to catch a sparsely populated subway after getting off work at nine o'clock.

May Parker shrank in the cold wind.

Years of hard work made her look a little frail, and her gray hair fell down dryly.

She looked towards the end of the road anxiously and worriedly, and every passing dark shadow made her uneasy.

This morning, her nephew had promised to pick her up after school, but she had been standing in the cold for hours now, with no sign of Peter.

She could have gone back earlier, but she was afraid that Peter was only a little late, and if she left early, Peter might miss her.

Just now...

"Nothing will happen to Peter, right?"

The long wait made her very worried, because Peter had never let her wait so long before. Moreover, he might not have come home, otherwise when he got home, she would find that he had forgotten his Aunt Mei.

The more time passed, the more worried Mei became.

It would be fine if Peter just forgot about her for a while, but she was afraid that something might happen to Peter.

At this moment, she was eager to go home and make sure her nephew had arrived home safely.

But just as she was about to leave, a black shadow suddenly rushed out from the end of the street.

Mei subconsciously squeezed her bag tighter.

Thanks to Haidi Canglong for the 500-point reward. Thanks, boss.

Chapter 12 Family

"Hi, Aunt May."

Bant saw Mei from afar standing under the street light, leaning against the tiny light source.

"Little Ben?" Mei called out, surprised and relieved at the same time, her gray hair drooping down, she hurried to Bant and grabbed Bant's wrist with her wrinkled hand.

In order to support the family and raise their two children, she and Ben suffered a lot.

Aunt Mei didn't have much education, and for so long, she could only do dirty and tiring work like washing dishes, and her salary was pitifully low. But she never complained.

"How did you come?"

'Of course it's because I'm worried,' Bant thought.

For most of the Spider-Man universes, web-slinging events are as inevitable as fate. Sometimes you prevent one event, but others will be triggered one after another.

Bant was worried that if he prevented Uncle Ben from dying, Aunt May would be in danger, so he reminded Peter not to forget to pick up Aunt May after school. But even so, he was still worried.

Now it seems that he was right, because Peter still forgot about it.

Bant was a little annoyed when he thought of this, but in order not to worry Aunt May, he still said, "Peter went to the Osborne Group to find Dr. Connors, so he doesn't have time. I can only pick you up."

When Aunt May heard the name Dr. Connors, her heart skipped a beat. She knew that the doctor had a close relationship with Peter's parents, and Peter was probably looking for him to find out about his parents.

Peter has been obsessed with the suitcase left behind by his parents since he found it in the warehouse, which inevitably makes Aunt May, who raised him and is gentle and sensitive, feel a little uncomfortable.

She has always treated Bant and Peter as her own sons, but Peter's behavior during this period made her worried.

Maybe that’s not what the kids think.

perhaps……

Of course, more importantly, Peter's parents left in a hurry after leaving young Peter behind, and there has been no news to this day. She and Ben have tried to call the police, but there has been no news. They were obviously involved in a terrible incident, and she and Ben were powerless to do anything about it.

Because of this, May was even more worried that Peter would get deeper and deeper into danger, and by that time, they might be unable to do anything.

"Don't worry, May," Bant put his arm around Aunt May's shoulders and comforted her, "Peter is just a little too obsessed with his parents' affairs because he has been exposed to them for the first time in so many years."

Aunt May nodded, her eyes were red, and her rough palms tightly held Bant's hands, as if once she let go, her two children would immediately fly into the distance and disappear.

She actually wanted to ask Bant if he also wanted to find his biological parents like Peter.

But she didn't dare to speak.

Because she knew that if the child wanted to return to his parents, it was a reasonable thing to do, and she had no reason to stop Bant, just as she had no reason to stop Peter from investigating his parents' affairs now.

But if there really came a day when she might lose Bant or Peter, she might find it difficult to accept.

Fortunately, Bant held her tightly and said, "Let's go back quickly, Aunt Mei. I'm starving!"

In the darkness of night, Bant and Aunt May walked back home side by side.

When they got home, Uncle Ben had been waiting anxiously at the door for a long time. Seeing Bant and Aunt May walking back together, he hurried over.

"Bant, May?" Uncle Ben looked a little surprised. He obviously didn't expect that the person who would take May home would be Bant instead of Peter.

"Where's Peter?" he asked.

"Peter went to see Dr. Connors, so he asked me to pick up Aunt May." Bant had to repeat what he had said to Aunt May before.

But Uncle Ben is not as easy to fool as Aunt May.

He glanced at Bant with a complicated look. Obviously, he had realized that Bant had lied for Peter. However, in the end, he did not expose the lie, nor did he criticize Bant for lying. Instead, he felt relieved.

Lying was wrong, but he also understood that Bant did it for his family.

All along, his two children were very sensible, but Bant was never the same as Peter, he was much more mature. Many times, Ben felt that Bant's appearance was a gift from God to their family.

"Thank you, kid," he said.
