Ch. 215 Peter's Spider-Man Suit
🕑 Added 2023-12-18 16:00:13 +0000 UTCThis wasn't the first time Peter had been sent flying.
He had experienced it many times when facing the Hulk in combat.
However, this time, there was an incredulous expression on his face.
It was normal to be sent flying by the Hulk's powerful punches, but Russell's punch was clearly different.
Although Russell's punch had immense strength as well, Peter couldn't understand how Russell could generate such tremendous power in such a short distance.
It didn't make sense!
It defied the laws of human biomechanics!
While this world did have extraordinary powers, Peter still viewed strength from the perspective of an ordinary person.
He had yet to grasp just how unscientific the world could be.
Ignoring the pain in his chest, Peter slowly got up, looking at Russell with a serious expression.
Without giving him much time to think, Russell, uses punches that he created himself, with how he has mastered many martial arts styles from various countries, he has combined his understanding of many martial arts styles into something that is perfect for his body.
Without hesitation, Russell struck again.
Once more, he executed his punch towards Peter.
Having experienced Russell's punch earlier, Peter didn't dare to underestimate him and abandoned the idea of blocking Russell's attack, trying instead to evade it.
However, by evading, he gave up control of the fight.
Peter, who had never experienced true combat, failed to realize the importance of maintaining control during a fight.
Russell quickly made this clear to him.
After evading for a few seconds, Peter was once again sent flying by Russell.
"Again!"
As Peter got back up, Russell calmly commanded.
Hearing Russell's voice, Peter yelled, exerting force with his legs and lunging at Russell.
But once again, he was knocked down by Russell's punch.
"Continue!"
Russell's voice rang out once more.
Peter got up and attacked once more.
Attack after attack, being knocked down repeatedly, and getting back up again.
Peter may have lacked combat experience, but he displayed remarkable tenacity in the face of this challenge.
Time passed bit by bit.
Russell's combat guidance for Peter continued until noon.
When Peter lay on the ground, battered and exhausted, gasping for breath, Russell finally ended the combat training.
To help Peter recover quickly, he used the "Absolute Command" of the King's Serum to order White Zetsu No. 11 and No. 16, who were currently inhabiting North American Hawk, to assist him.
A few seconds later, White Zetsu No. 11, attached to a Hawk, flew overhead, allowing White Zetsu No. 16, freshly detached from a Bengal tiger, to land on Peter.
Upon contact with Peter, White Zetsu No. 16 immediately integrated with him.
"This is the symbiote White Zetsu No 16, possessing abilities similar to my Serum form."
"Until you become proficient with your newfound abilities, White Zetsu No. 16 will assist you in adapting to your enhanced powers."
Russell briefly explained to Peter.
"Okay!" Peter didn't get up but responded quietly.
Although he had never encountered symbiotes before, he trusted Russell's judgment.
Especially after learning that White Zetsu No 16 possessed abilities akin to Serum, he considered Russell's arrangement a sign of trust.
With White Zetsu No. 16's integration, Peter's injuries healed rapidly, and his depleted energy was quickly restored.
"Let's go, it's time for lunch!" Russell said to Peter as he got up.
A few minutes later, the three of them arrived at the headquarters' cafeteria and enjoyed a meal prepared by the robotic chef.
Due to the double enhancement of genetic mutation and the serum, Peter's appetite had noticeably increased.
After finishing lunch in the cafeteria, Russell didn't continue with Peter's combat training. Instead, he took Peter to the equipment development lab in the headquarters.
Although Peter's evolution experiment had only officially begun yesterday, the Spider-Man suit had been prepared by Russell's No. 3 well in advance.
In the cinematic universe, it was originally Tony Stark's responsibility to provide Peter with the Spider-Man suit. However, since Russell had taken over, this task had been delegated to No. 3.
Upon arriving at the equipment development lab, a complete red and blue Spider-Man suit appeared before Peter.
"This is the Spider-Man suit specially developed for you by No. 3, along with the web-shooters."
"The suit has an artificial intelligence named 'Karen,' and the web-shooters come with 576 different web-shooting combinations."
"The formula for creating web fluid will be provided to you, so you can either make it yourself or have No. 3 prepare it for you."
"The suit features various modes, such as tracking mode, reconnaissance mode, interrogation mode, enhanced mode, and one-shot-kill mode."
"The small spider emblem on the front of the suit is an intelligent robot with functions including flight, reconnaissance, and scanning."
"Karen, the suit's artificial intelligence, can connect to the Justice League's database and can also interface with No. 3's data. You can request assistance from No. 3 when needed."
…
Russell gave Peter a brief overview of the functions of the Spider-Man suit.
"Can I put it on now?" Peter asked eagerly.
"Of course, this suit was prepared specifically for you," Russell replied.
As soon as Russell finished speaking, Peter grabbed the suit and web-shooters and rushed to the adjacent changing room.
A minute later, Peter emerged from the changing room, wearing the Spider-Man suit.
"How does it feel?" Russell asked.
"The suit fits perfectly, but it has a new car smell," Peter quickly responded.
"That smell will go away after a few days," Russell assured him.
Afterward, Russell gestured for Peter to remove the mask and join him on the nearby couch.
"Now, you have the same superhuman abilities as Spider-Woman and your very own Spider-Man suit. You even have the symbiote White Zetsu from outer space within you."
"In terms of power, you are now stronger than 99.99% of the Earth's population. But you must remember one thing: you are still a minor."
"In simpler terms, you are still a child. Do you understand?" Russell said with a serious expression.
"I understand," Peter replied earnestly.
"I will arrange for you to join the Justice League's press conference, and from now on, you can help those in need as the superhero Spider-Man."
"But there's one thing I must make clear: apart from members of the Justice League and those you absolutely trust, like May and your good friend Ned who enjoys playing with LEGO, you should never reveal your true identity to anyone else."
"The mask of the suit is not just for your protection but also for the protection of those you care about. Do you understand?" Russell wanted to make sure Peter comprehended the importance of keeping his identity secret.
"But other superheroes, like you, Ms. Kara, the Hulk, and Mr. Fantastic, they all reveal their true identities to others. Aren't you concerned about that?" Peter asked in return.
"That's because we are adults, and you are still a minor," Russell emphasized.
"We can protect ourselves and those we care about, but you can't. While revealing your identity may garner more attention, you are not yet equipped to handle the responsibilities that come with it."
"When you truly grow up, I will consider allowing you to reveal your true identity. But for now, it's absolutely not allowed!" Russell said emphatically.
"Alright, I understand," Peter replied slowly.
Though he said he understood, it was clear that he didn't fully agree with Russell's perspective.
Peter was generally obedient, but he was currently going through his rebellious phase. Teenagers at this stage were often fearless and stubborn, making it challenging to get them to comply willingly.
