Chapter 557
Especially in the comics, many high-tech devices come from here, and it is even a match for Iron Man's Stark Industries.
Besides Morbius, Peter Parker and Tiberius Stone, an ordinary man who was once Iron Man's rival, were also employees of Horizon Labs.
The name Tiberius Stone may sound unfamiliar to many, as he is just an ordinary person with no particularly outstanding achievements. However, in the universe numbered 2099, his grandson becomes Spider-Man.
That is— Spider-Man 2099!
Incidentally, in order to cure his family's hereditary disease, Norman Osborn also sought out Dr. Morbius of Horizon Labs, in addition to Professor Curt Connors, but was rejected by Dr. Morbius, who was determined to save himself.
You're sick, and so am I.
You're dying, and I'm not much better off.
With her father dead and her mother remarried, everyone should look after themselves!
Perhaps it was because they had dealt with each other before, or perhaps Norman Osborn used some means.
In short, after dealing with Professor Curt Connors and his laboratory, Su Quan has become one of the investors in Dr. Morbius's blood disease project.
Horizon Labs.
In Dr. Morbius's laboratory, Su Quan met with all the people involved in the project, including another investor.
Lucius Krone suffers from a blood disease almost identical to Morbius's. They met as children at the same medical facility and became friends.
He was as talented as Morbius, but Morbius's talent was genius, while his was wealth!
For so many years, he has been silently supporting Morbius behind the scenes. Otherwise, given Morbius's physical condition, no matter how talented he is, few people would dare to invest in his research before he proves himself.
What if Morbius has a relapse and dies halfway through the research?
After meeting with the relevant personnel, Su Quan informed them that Martina Bancroft would become his representative in this project and exercise the relevant powers on his behalf.
Then he started talking to Lucius Kron.
That's right, it's Lucius Kron, not Dr. Morbius!
Although both are anti-heroes, Morbius didn't evoke the same strong feelings in him as Eddie Brock and Venom from the Lethal Protector.
Morbius is somewhat like Peter Parker's father, Richard Parker. Both of them used investors' money to conduct research, but after the research was successful, they thought it was too dangerous and then refused to hand it over to their employers, forcing their employers to take the path of villainy.
The biggest difference between the two is that one benefited himself, while the other's son benefited.
Of course, their character has nothing to do with Su Quan, as long as it doesn't affect his plans and profits.
Su Quan invested in this project and participated in the birth of the 'vampire' for three main purposes.
1. Martina Bancroft.
Second: The 'Bat Serum' or 'Vampire Serum' developed by Morbius.
Three: Morbius and Lucius Kron, and even Martina Bancroft's vampire abilities.
Take Morbius as an example. Although he needs to drink human blood regularly, he is not afraid of sunlight, garlic, crosses, silverware, etc., like real vampires.
In terms of abilities, as a mutant, Super Strength Super Defense are definitely standard features. It also has extremely strong Self-Healing Ability, super radar of Bat Sonar, flight, and what can be called its signature fast movement.
Oh, and it also has the ability to summon and control bats.
"Mr. Su Quan, I have a question, and I wonder if you could answer it for me?" Lucius Kron smiled and gestured to Su Quan.
"Want to know why I invested in this project?"
"Yes."
Su Quan glanced at Martina Bancroft not far away and said with a smile, "Two reasons."
Lucius Kron looked in the direction of his gaze, understood immediately, and said in a tone that only men understand, "You have a good eye. What's the second reason?"
Su Quan shrugged. "I have high hopes for Morbius's talent, this project will definitely be a success!"
Lucius Kron said with a smile, "I never expected that you would have more confidence in this project than we do!"
"Why not?"
Aren't you worried that his research will fail?
"I'm not worried."
"Why?"
"Because I have never failed before, I haven't failed now, and I never will!"
"Uh—you're really confident."
Lucius Kron was somewhat taken aback by this overconfidence—this kind of confidence that went to extremes.
But regardless, his belief in Morbius and that the project would definitely succeed brought Lucius Kron a sense of comfort.
For him and Morbius, this project was truly a do-or-die situation!
Su Quan looked at Lucius Kron and suddenly laughed and joked, "I don't know why, but your face always gives me the feeling of calling you Doctor."
Lucius Kron chuckled, slowly raising his finger to point to himself, then to Morbius: "To be honest, I've always felt I'm more like the Doctor than him. He's so careless about his appearance, so unkempt, he has absolutely no airs of a great Doctor."
Su Quan nodded in agreement; Lucius Kron and Morbius did indeed have very different appearances.
Soon after, Lucius Kron and Morbius will become enemies, and Lucius Kron, who was tricked by Morbius, will become the villain.
However, Su Quan couldn't actually make him look like a villain. Why? Because he looked exactly like the protagonist of a TV series called Doctor Who.
The protagonist, who calls himself a doctor, is a Time Lord with a vehicle called the TARDIS, which looks like an old-fashioned telephone booth but is actually a spaceship capable of traversing space and time.
In addition, the Doctor can be reborn, and each time he is reborn, his appearance, personality, and even gender are different.
Lucius Kron looks exactly like the eleventh doctor.
Coincidentally.
His predecessor, the tenth Doctor, looked exactly like the Purple Man he killed in the Marvel Universe.
P. S.: Many fans of American TV series have probably heard of Doctor Who, a show that has been running for a very long time.
Also, here's a picture of Lucius Kron.
Having discussed Lucius Kron, let's now talk about Morbius.
Due to a childhood illness, Morbius was thin and had difficulty walking, requiring him to use crutches when going out. He also had long hair and beard, giving him the appearance of a disheveled artist.
At first, Su Quan didn't feel anything was wrong, but after taking a closer look, the more he looked, the more familiar it seemed.
That scruffy, gaunt face... isn't that the Joker from the Justice League universe? The one from the Suicide Squad movie!
Come to think of it, when I left that universe, I used the Joker as a tool for farming equipment in a nested doll-like system; he even had Dionysus Factors in him.
The contrast between Morbius and the Joker is so great that you wouldn't even realize they have the same face unless you look closely and try to match them up.
However, besides their faces, they have one thing in common: they can change their expressions very quickly, turning on each other in an instant!
Su Quan had little interest in Morbius, seeing that Su Quan had no impact on the experiment, was too lazy to deal with him or socialize with him, and focused everyone's attention on the experiment.
Time flies, and years pass quickly.
Before we knew it, more than a month had passed.
During this period, Su Quan was constantly running between day and night. During the day, he would date Gwen Stacy to train her and the Black Cat in combat experience. At night, he would spend time with Martina Bancroft, indulging in nightly revelry.
Compared to her passionate relationship with Gwen Stacy, Martina Bancroft's relationship progressed much more naturally.
Su Quan went to Horizon Labs as an investor and publicly announced Martina Bancroft as his spokesperson. After that, they went on a few more dates, and then... well, you know what I mean!
Meanwhile, in Martina Bancroft's apartment, Su Quan, wearing a bathrobe, sat on an old-fashioned chair on the open balcony, enjoying the evening breeze while reading the news in the Daily Bugle.
Martina Bancroft, wearing a light nightgown, came up behind Su Quan, bent down, hooked her arms around his neck, and chuckled, "The Daily Bugle again?"
"For some reason, this newspaper has a particular fondness for reporting on animals. Spider-Man and Lizard Man, Spider-Man- Woman and Black Cat —it's been all their news lately."
Su Quan corrected, "It's Spider-Man and Lizard Professor, Spider-Gwen and Black Cat."
Peter Parker, inspired by Spider-Gwen, built himself Web-Shooter. However, his mysterious behavior and attempts to find his father during the construction of the Web-Shooter worried his Uncle Ben.
Uncle Ben wanted to have a proper talk with him, but the meeting ended badly. Peter Parker left home in a huff. Uncle Ben went looking for him and encountered a robber who was robbing a convenience store. During the struggle, Uncle Ben was shot and killed by the robber.
Peter Parker was also present when the robber robbed the convenience store earlier, but he chose to stand by because of the store clerk's attitude. Then, the fleeing robber turned around and shot his uncle dead.
Uncle Ben performed a sacrificial ceremony to Heaven, his magical power was boundless.
Peter Parker was searching for the killer everywhere, gradually became famous and became known as Spider-Man, the Spider-Man in the Daily Bugle.
As for Lizard Professor, although he has been subdued by Su Quan, he still occasionally escapes uncontrollably due to the serum.
He dared not cause trouble for Su Quan, nor did he dare to cause trouble at Osborn Industries. He even temporarily suppressed the idea of turning all humans into lizardmen.
But he also needs to release it.
What to do?
We can only turn to Spider-Man, Peter Parker.
After all, it was the Decay Rate Algorithm he provided that led to his creation, and he wasn't one of Su Quan's men, so there was no need to worry about causing trouble for him.
In just over a month, Lizard Professor and Spider-Man have clashed several times. Thanks to the Daily Bugle's hype, many people now know that they are sworn enemies and fight whenever they meet.
Because Lizard Professor fights without regard for others, Spider-Man, who saves people in battle, has gained immense popularity and a large following among the public.
