American Comics: The Matrix

"At least, I'm still doing good things, right? The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. I don't necessarily need others to thank me in person."

But Peter didn't know that becoming a hero wouldn't just bring him praise. He also couldn't understand how sad it felt to be misunderstood by others even though he had done good things.

But Bant didn't intend to continue talking to him.

He didn't need to undermine Peter's confidence. For some things, only when Peter himself has experienced them can he understand the taste of them. Of course, he also understood that these difficulties could not defeat Spider-Man, let alone Peter Parker.

What's more, Peter really needs a superhero identity.

He has always been the unknown Peter Parker, small and inconspicuous, even his classmates might ignore him. Since childhood, the girls he liked would not even look at him.

But it is different now.

He had the opportunity and ability to change himself, so why would Bant deprive him of it?

Even though Peter has to keep his powers a secret, being Spider-Man still fills some void in him.

At least when in that costume, he was the Mighty Spider-Man, not Peter Parker.

"So, if you really want to fight criminals, you must have a handsome uniform!" Bant pulled Peter to the desk and sat him down, then pulled out a stack of draft paper and opened it.

Peter was immediately stunned by the contents of the manuscript.

"Wait, you said you didn't want to be a superhero?"

"I don't want to."

"But you secretly designed a whole suit and even thought of the name Spider-Man?!"

Chapter 15 Harry Osborn (Seeking follow-up reading)

Some people say outwardly that they don't plan to be superheroes, but secretly they have already thought of a hero name and even designed a whole set of uniforms.

Peter looked at Bant with a mischievous look and said teasingly:

"Didn't you say you didn't plan on being Spider-Man?"

"I don't plan to. I'm just afraid that the battle suit you make will be too ugly and I'll embarrass myself when I go out." Bant said.

The Spider-Man in this universe is a bit like a combination of three movie universes. Bant doesn't know which version of the battle suit Peter took out in the end. If it's baby pajamas like Holland's, it would be too embarrassing.

"Okay, I reluctantly believe you, but..." Peter flipped open the manuscript and soon discovered that there was more than one version of the design drawing. Not to mention the various color changes, there were even mechanical and cyberpunk-style suits similar to Iron Man's armor, which made Peter distracted.

"Isn't this too much?"

"Just tell me whether you want it or not?"

"Yes! Of course!"

In the end, Peter chose a set from the red and blue models with the largest base. He wanted the Iron Spider-Man armor or the Spider Knight, but unfortunately the skills of the two of them were simply not enough, so they could only give it up as a backup for the time being.

"Using spider silk is indeed a good idea, but it is simply not feasible with existing materials." Peter said thoughtfully.

Toby's version of Spider-Man has special spider silk launching organs on his wrists, while the spider silk of Garfield's version of Spider-Man actually comes from Osborn Enterprises, and he just made a spider silk launcher himself.

However, Osborn Enterprises does not seem to be involved in the spider silk industry at present, which means that Peter and Bant have to make a completely new spider silk material to at least meet the expected tensile strength.

If Bant could transform into a spider monkey now, it would be much simpler. He could directly study the structure of the spider monkey's spider silk.

But now, Peter can only rely on his own efforts.

"I seem to have an idea--" Peter felt a flash of inspiration in his mind.

"Come on, and I suggest adding a substance to the spider silk that will allow it to degrade naturally. Otherwise, the entire New York City will probably become a spider's nest before long."

He patted Peter on the shoulder and threw Peter, who looked thoughtful, out of his room.

Then he sat back in front of the computer and thought about other things.

Just like he said before, once you get super powers, you have to use them. Peter plans to become a hero in New York. Bant doesn't plan to save the world, but he can also be a hero in this family.

"Make more money, and give Uncle Ben and Aunt May a better life."

The idea that had popped up in my mind before was like a ghost that could not be shaken off. I wanted to set up my own company, call it Primus Technology, and become the leader in the industry!

If nothing else, it should at least be on the same scale as Osborne.

"But start-up capital and projects are both a problem, and I don't have anything to show for it right now," Bant thought.

The only high-tech items he has are Iron Man's suit and the Omnitrix. Needless to say, the suit has many technologies that Stark Group has patents on. Of course, if they really want to develop, they can find some legal loopholes like Hammer Industries did. Most importantly, if they cooperate with the US government, there will naturally be people to endorse them.

But Bant had no intention of providing them with weapons.

Another research object is naturally the small broken watch.

As a level 20 technology, the ability of the small broken watch is not as simple as transformation. In addition to this most basic function, it actually contains very advanced communication technology. It can communicate without delay over a distance of millions of light years, has instant transmission function and advanced nanotechnology.

Every time the Little Broken Watch transforms, it will use nanotechnology to convert the owner's clothes into the battle suit of an alien hero.

This is why the alien hero's costume in the first season changed from black and white to green later in the episode.

"Nanotechnology is a good direction, but the technological gap is too big and it is difficult to achieve in a short time." Bant thought, "and the funds consumed by such a project are totally beyond my ability to afford."

Start-up capital is always the biggest problem.

If you want to develop technology, you can't just rob a few thugs to save enough money. Without huge financial support, most scientists can't do anything. This is why Dr. Octopus, who is so capable, has to rob banks.

Bant thought about it and decided that since robbing small gangsters was not an option, then robbing the underworld kings of the underground world would be a good choice.

For example, Kingpin, The Hand...

However, this would also put him at greater risk of being exposed.

If it was just Spider-Man's ability, it would be fine. Bant was not too worried that this identity would be known to others. In fact, from the moment Peter planned to become Spider-Man, it was destined that SHIELD would know their identities.

Bant wants to create a character in the eyes of SHIELD that "he has superpowers, but he doesn't intend to become a superhero like his cousin." He is using Spider-powers as bait to hide Little Broke.

The Omnitrix is ​​too dangerous. Once it is completely exposed, both S.H.I.E.L.D. and SHIELD will probably try their best to get it.

Bant was not afraid of them, but he didn't want to attract these troubles like flies.

Moreover, if he does this, the source of funds will also be a problem. Once he produces any results, the people above him may use this as an excuse to take possession of his invention.

"Then there is only one other way." He picked up his phone and found a number.

Since he had no money, he decided to find someone to invest. Coincidentally, he knew a guy who had a lot of money.

Although it was late at night, the call was connected quickly.

"Hello, Harry Potter."

"Don't call me Harry Potter!" Harry on the other end of the phone couldn't hold back as soon as he answered the phone, and angrily scolded Bant. After a long while, he calmed down and asked, "You won't call me easily. How is Peter doing recently?"

The first thing you do is ask Peter, and say that you two are not in true love?

"He's doing well. I dare say he's never been better."

Peter is now like a fresh graduate who received an offer from a big company immediately after graduation. He doesn’t know that he will soon be trained to become a corporate slave, but he is extremely excited because he has a job.

"What about you?" Harry asked. "I don't believe you're calling me to catch up, especially at this hour."

In fact, Harry had already imagined that Bant was heartbroken because of a broken heart, so he was looking for someone to talk to at this time.

He was already waiting to hear the joke and comfort his old friend at the same time.

However, at this moment, Bant's words were like a sword piercing Harry's heart.

"Harry, I remember you wanted to impress Uncle Norman, didn't you?"

"I have a plan!"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 16 Sometimes being too advanced is also a mistake (seeking follow-up reading and monthly votes)

"What's your plan?"

Harry escaped from boarding school and chose a time to meet Bant.

At this moment, the two of them were sitting in a slush shop. Harry lowered his head and took a sip of slush, then immediately dry heaved as if he wanted to spit out his tongue.

"What is this? It tastes terrible!"

"I don't like it very much either." Bant drank the cup of slush in his hand expressionlessly.

It was also his first time trying to drink slush. He didn't expect that the taste was so bad. In line with the principle of not wasting anything, he drank it all.

"So, what's the plan you're talking about?"

Harry was sure Peter was not here the moment he entered the room.

He, Peter and Bant have known each other since childhood. The three of them have a good relationship, especially Harry and Peter. They have been friends since childhood, and they were already friends before Peter came to Uncle Ben's house.

After Peter was sent to foster care, Harry often came over at first, and it was at that time that Bant became familiar with him.

Because Bant was more mature mentally, he had always treated them like an older brother when they were little, so Harry believed almost everything Bant said.

So, when Bant told him about a plan, Harry came over without much thought.

He believed that Bant was not shooting in the foot.

Moreover, as Bant said, Harry was eager to be appreciated by his father, Norman Osborn. In fact, Harry was already very good compared to the average person, with good academic performance, and was a rich boy, but he was not reckless, but these were not worth mentioning in Norman's eyes.

Harry is very good, but just like Bant not long ago, he is ordinary in his excellence.

In this world full of geniuses, nothing counts.

Norman either treated his son with disdain or attacked him harshly.

Of course, Norman was so cruel to his son not only because Harry did not meet his expectations, but also because Harry's birth caused Norman's wife to become extremely weak and eventually passed away.

Harry was unaware of this. He thought he was just not good enough, which was why he was always denied by his father.

It is hard to imagine that the future successor of Osborne Enterprises would have nothing else but to simply gain recognition from his father.

"I plan to start a company," Bant said.

"Start a company?"

To be honest, Harry was a little disappointed when he heard this answer.

At first he really thought that Bant had some good way to get his father's approval, but he didn't expect that it was just like this.

It’s not that it’s bad to start a company. The problem is, even if you start a small company on impulse, what can you do?

If he didn't use the resources of the Osborne Group, the funds he could take out would be very limited. It might be enough to start a small company, but it would be absolutely impossible to gain his father's appreciation.

Not to mention whether the company can make a profit and what its business is, which are both big questions.

Norman Osborn is not only a businessman, but also a scientist. If you are not truly able to develop technology and achieve "far-ahead" business content in a certain field, you probably won't be in his eyes.

"If you want to start a company, I will certainly support you."

After a brief disappointment, Harry quickly controlled his emotions.

In any case, Bant's idea is good after all, and based on Harry's understanding of Bant, he will not take risks without certainty. Since he has proposed it now, it means that this plan is completely feasible and profitable.

It's just that Bant didn't know his father very well, and didn't know that such a small achievement would never catch the eye of the famous Norman Osborn.

Even Harry himself thought that even if he made some money, it would only be a small profit and he didn't care at all. But since his good brother had asked him for help, he had no reason to refuse.

Harry would be very happy if this method could help Bant and Peter's family live a less difficult life.

Harry said, "Can you tell me more about your idea?"

Bant naturally knew what was going on in Harry's mind at the moment.

Not to mention Harry, anyone would find it ridiculous to hear a kid talking about starting a company and building a career. But Bant's next words shocked Harry.

"Nanotechnology!"

"Nanotechnology? You're quite bold to say that." Harry laughed dumbly and pushed away the slush in front of him with the back of his hand. "Okay, stop joking. You asked me to invest, you can't keep your business secret, right?"

In response to Harry's distrust, Bant just curled his lips and asked, "Why do you think I'm kidding you by calling you out from so far away?"

"Wait, are you serious?"

Hearing Bant say this, Harry finally realized that he wasn't joking.

Although the concept of "nanotechnology" was proposed as early as the last century, and "nanotechnology" has been realized to a certain extent today, these are all protected by patents.
