Sandman: I'm Fighting a Plumber? Seriously?

The biggest difference between Ben and Killian is --

The Killian have nothing to rely on except the Extremis Virus.

He was just waiting for the Extremis Virus to turn his miserable life around and show those who looked down on him what he was capable of.

Especially Tony Stark!

Killian craves success, and he must succeed, because only in this way can he obtain a healthy body, extraordinary status and power, as well as fame and fortune!

However, for Ben, the Self-Healing Serum, the modified Super Soldier Serum, and other projects under research all have effects comparable to the Extremis Virus.

He completely disregarded resources for something that was incomplete.

No one knows what the consequences of viruses altering the human body are.

Moreover, they evolve and mutate very quickly, making them difficult to control.

Just like the New X Virus, which was originally developed by United States targeting the genes of Asians, it quickly swept the world after being released and became uncontrollable.

Even within the laboratory, Ben was able to contain the development of the Extremis Virus, but what would happen to it once it left the lab is hard to say.

"I'm sorry, Dr. Killian, your research is not aligned Rong Yu our company's development direction."

Ben shook his head and pushed the documents on the table back in front of Killian.

This action immediately plunged Killian into despair.

"But, but..."

I'm almost there!

To be honest, Killian couldn't understand it.

A study that's almost ready to yield results is just one final step away from bearing fruit. Primus only needs to invest a small amount of money to enjoy the results—isn't that much more reliable than those research labs that scam funding?

But now, with so much money right in front of Ben, he actually refuses it?

"Or perhaps you have a different opinion regarding profit sharing? We can discuss that gradually, even if you want 30%..."

What?!

Seventy percent belongs to others; only thirty percent is yours.

Ben blurted it out.

To be honest, a 30% return is quite a lot. After all, the Extremis Virus is only one step away from success, and even if Primus were to invest money, it wouldn't be too much.

"It's not a matter of profit sharing."

Ben began, "Mr. Killian, as the founder of the Extremis Virus, you must be well aware of its drawbacks."

Killian was speechless for a moment.

He knew better than anyone that the Extremis Virus was extremely unstable.

All current experimental data indicate that if the test subject experiences a violent emotional outburst, it could lead to a surge in the number of viruses in the body, potentially causing the entire body to ignite and explode.

This is only the current defect. As the virus continues to evolve and mutate, various versions of Extremis Virus may emerge.

But when faced with someone knowledgeable, Killian simply couldn't bring himself to say, "I can control it."

After trembling for a long time, Killian suddenly deflated like a punctured balloon.

"Excuse me, Parker."

"I'll leave now..."

The somewhat unkempt man hastily picked up the scattered documents on the table and got up like a stray dog.

"Etc."

Ben called out to him.

"Parker, is there anything else?"

Killian paused, wondering what Ben might have wanted to use to keep him. Had the other man changed his mind?

He also knew that the possibility was slim.

However, it's inevitable to have some expectations.

"I think Mr. Killian seems to have some health problems?" Ben said.

Killian clenched his fists instantly, feeling a pang of pain in his heart, but before he could react, Ben continued.

"As it happens, Primus's Self-Healing Serum has now reached a new stage in its research. Whether the damage is acquired or stems from genetic defects, it has the potential to cure them. I wonder if Mr. Killian would be willing to give it a try?"

Killian's eyes lit up for a moment, but then quickly dimmed.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I'm afraid I cannot afford the treatment..."

"No charge," Ben said calmly. "Although the Extremis Virus doesn't align with Primus's development philosophy, I admire your knowledge. A genius like you shouldn't be confined by your physical disability."

Killian didn't know how to refuse, nor could he refuse Ben's offer.

Even when he came to his senses, he found himself lying in Primus's hospital, waiting for surgery.

Outside the operating room.

Mary Jane was somewhat puzzled.

"Benny, you clearly don't intend to cooperate with him, so why are you helping him?"

"It's not that I don't intend to cooperate with him, but the Extremis Virus is currently developing in the wrong direction," Ben said, shaking his head.

In some versions, the Extremis Virus is essentially a form of Nanotechnology. Since Killian and Hansen were able to create the current Extremis Virus Extremis Virus, it's not impossible for them to create another, even better version.

Therefore, Ben's move can be seen as a gesture of goodwill.

Anyway, the cost of the cure is already very low now, it won't cost much.

As for who Killian will find to continue investing in the current Extremis Virus research after leaving Primus, and what kind of revenge he will take against Tony, that's none of Ben's business.

Tony Stark created this trouble himself, so he has to deal with it himself.

Ben still has a lot of research and magic to learn.

"Oh, right,"

Ben was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something.

He took out the Mind Stone, which was wrapped in a magical artifact, and handed it to Mary Jane.

"Infinity Stones?"

Mary Jane was taken aback, not understanding what Ben was planning to do.

"I remember this gem should be stored at the Galactic Plumbers Space Station, right?"

After Ben created the Manna Dimension — Legerdomain— on the Ancient One's planet, he returned the Infinity Stones. Three of them were stored on Sakaar, while the Mind Stone remained on Earth.

He still needs to use the gem's energy to activate Wanda and Quicksilver's Superpowers.

"This one isn't real; the energy inside can only be used once," Ben explained. "Keep it at the company for now; I reckon someone will need it in a while."

Ben to Ultron, of course.

Tony is currently developing the Ultron defense system. His intentions are good, but Ultron is a guy who spends five minutes browsing the internet and then decides to destroy the world.

Ben didn't think it was his fault.

After all, the internet has indeed amplified the malice of many people. Sometimes, just surfing the internet can make him so angry that he wants to destroy the world.

However, Ben's focus is not on Ultron, but on the body Ultron wants to create for himself.

Based on Helen Cho's Regeneration Cradle technology theory, the Vibranium body created is the future Vision.

However, Ben thinks Vision, you'd better not come.

That's exactly what I mean by "picking your feet while eating".

To think that the Mind Stone is just a laser-shooting guy is a complete waste of Vibranium.

Ben's plan was that since Ultron was so kind as to prepare a body, he would accept it without hesitation and then give Eunice a chance.

That's right!

He plans to use Ultron to materialize Eunice.

Ben clapped his hands and said, "Whether you're Tony Stark or Ultron, you're all working for me!"

"Give this document to Doctor Cho, then increase the funding for the Regeneration Cradle. Tell her that if she encounters any difficulties, she should immediately upload it to Eunice's database, and I will resolve it personally."

Ben handed Mary Jane a paper document containing Ben research and analysis of the Regeneration Cradle, as well as his vision of the abilities Eunice would possess in the future.

Unitrix had long envisioned fulfilling her idea, and now was an opportunity.

The only problem is that Helen Cho's theory is not perfect enough. Even if it were perfected to the level of Avengers: Age of Ultron, it would still not be perfect in Ben's eyes.

After giving his instructions, Ben prepared to go to Kamar-Taj.

At this stage, cultivating one's Energy of the Universe is more important.

After all, even if we miss out on Ultron, it's okay. With the technology and materials, we can achieve it anytime.

Ben left, and after he left, the mysterious power of the Spider Totem began to awaken.

In a corner unknown to anyone, the Spider-Web Incident slowly began to brew.

This period has been absolutely surreal for Flint Marko.

First, Kingpin, died at the hands of Black Cat, the Black Night Queen. Then, the mobsters began to suffer attacks from multiple fronts, and then even an alien invasion occurred.

The entire Manhattan was razed to the ground, and Hell's Kitchen was naturally not spared either.

However, this also brought them new opportunities.

The remains of those aliens after their deaths were found to contain alien technology, and many people took the risk and made a fortune from it.

Moreover, after the war, the Black Night Queen, who used to haunt Hell's Kitchen, also disappeared.

The Black Cat disappeared, and the rats in the sewers reappeared.

Flint Marko was no exception.

Unfortunately, he was unlucky; he had been captured before and missed a good opportunity to collect alien debris.

Now that he's finally out of prison, he's just happened to run into the opportunity for the Black Cat to reappear.

Moreover, according to his inquiries, there have been more and more vigilant Super Hero on the streets of New York lately.

Now it seems that staying in New York is probably not a good option.

As Flint walked down the street, which was gradually darkening, he looked into the distance.

The city's buildings were covered in green gauze and filled with bamboo frames, like an injured person with a plaster cast, living a fragmented life.

The city was already in ruins.

But at least it's already being treated; Primus has nailed steel plates into it and wrapped it in bandages, just waiting for the day when New York will show a new look.

Just like those who work on construction sites.

Rebuilding New York provided jobs for many people, and everyone was happy, except for Flint.

He couldn't afford to wait for the money to come from doing such manual labor!

"One more job, then I'll ditch this name and head to Georgia," Flint thought.

He doesn't care about his current name; it was originally just a pseudonym.

His real William Baker.

That's the future Sandman that Ben was searching for in the New York Police network but couldn't find...

Primus's basement.

Uncle Ben and Aunt May changed out of their Plumbers uniforms and prepared to go home.

They have now passed the basic Plumbers examination and become proud first-level Plumbers.

However, in terms of combat prowess, Uncle Ben is now no less capable Harry.

Aunt May sighed, "Wanda and Pietro went to the space station, leaving the two of us rather lonely."

"There's no way around it, I have a lot of missions on Earth too, and I only feel comfortable sleeping in that little house in Queens," Uncle Ben said. "It would be too much trouble for us to commute between space and Earth every day."

Aunt May nodded; she thought so too, which is why she didn't go to the Space Station to stay permanently.

"Fortunately Doctor Banner went too. Hopefully, it won't cause either of them to fall behind in their studies."

In Aunt May's opinion, nothing is more important than studying hard.

Haven't you seen how outstanding her good son Ben, is now?

It's all thanks to his hard work and diligent studies!

Ben: Little Broken Watch, Transform!

The two talked as they walked to the garage, got into Uncle Ben's old car, and then started talking about the mission again.

During this time, they are investigating those lost alien weapons.

Although Norman immediately sent the H.A.M.M.E.R. to clean up the mess after the war, someone else acted faster and hid some technology.

Those things are inherently dangerous; if something is actually discovered through research, it will pose a hidden danger.

Therefore, agents of H.A.M.M.E.R.. and a small number of Plumbers are investigating this matter, and even Peter has become involved.

The kid had only recently returned from space when he encountered a flying creature during a mission and decided to investigate it.

The two weren't too worried about Peter's safety; after all, they'd already fought off aliens, so what was a little Vulture?

It was already getting dark.

Christmas is just a few days away, and Ben and May were chatting casually, thinking about what gifts they should give the children.

Just then, a shout suddenly came from the end of the street.

This instantly caught Ben and May's attention.

Uncle Ben slammed on the brakes and turned to see a strong man carrying something in his arms, running away in terror.

It was William Baker!

After deciding to leave New York temporarily, William Baker didn't hesitate to get a small handgun, ready to pick an unlucky guy to rob.

So an underground boxing ring became his target.

However, because it was a hasty crime, William Baker had not planned an escape route.

The boxing ring security guards rushed out, and it was at that moment that he spotted Uncle Ben's car parked on the side of the road.

At that moment, only one thought echoed in William Baker's mind:

They stole the car and made a quick getaway!

If anyone on the bus dares to resist, shoot them dead!

So, without realizing he was about to face Plumbers, William Baker grabbed his small pistol and charged at him.
