Thunderbolts

And so, the Superpowers Squad of the Galactic Plumbers was formed.

Ben gave them uniforms, but not the white uniforms of ordinary Plumbers; instead, they wore black outfits with some of their personal touches added on.

For example, Peter's Spider Suit is like this; instead of directly changing to a black suit, black parts were added to the original red and blue suit, while the blue was deepened, making it look a bit darker.

"I look like I'm about to become the Dark Lord," Harry muttered, shaking his head in exasperation as he looked at his new outfit.

His armor has now turned dark green, making him look even more sinister than before.

However, he didn't care too much. After all, as the chairman of the Osborn Corporation, although he had joined the Galactic Plumbers, he rarely went on missions. Company matters were more important to him, especially now that he had acquired a large number of Stark Industries shares and become a member of the Stark Industries Board of Directors. He was now thinking about how to poach Pepper, a woman skilled in managing companies.

Felicia and T'Challa's suits remained unchanged; they were originally black. As for the Winter Soldier, Falcon, and others, their suits looked unremarkable. Ben's design was entirely based on the uniforms of the special department of the Ben 10 in The Galactic Plumbers.

If I had to describe it, it's somewhat similar to the style worn by the adult Jade Chan.

Of course, the equipment was upgraded for the Ben, and everyone received a Super Soldier Serum.

After all, it's Super Hero team; they can't just let a few guys with physical abilities similar to ordinary people sneak in and take advantage of the situation.

Everyone was very satisfied with their new equipment, especially Falcon. He was just an ordinary retired soldier whose only equipment was his wings, which were neither particularly strong nor weak. Now, the Galactic Plumbers not only upgraded his wings but also gave him a super soldier enhancement potion, which, in effect, made him equivalent to Captain America.

Only Captain America was somewhat dissatisfied.

His current outfit looks a lot like the one he wore in Wakanda in Avengers: Avengers War, except he doesn't have the shields on his arms; he still uses a round shield, but...

"Do we really have to change its color?" Steve scratched his head, looking helplessly at the familiar yet unfamiliar Edman and Golden Shield placed in front of him.

At this moment, the star and stripe paint on its surface has been wiped off by Ben and replaced with the paint of the Galactic Plumbers's logo, which is the black and green hourglass logo.

"That's how you can represent the Galactic Plumbers as captain," Ben said with a smile. "Before, you were just Captain America, serving only a narrow nation. But now you're the Galactic Plumbers captain, the leader of this Super Hero team, serving all of humanity."

"We no longer need to worry about being controlled by people like S.H.I.E.L.D.., who use Super Hero as tools to rule the world by force."

"I'm just not used to it, and..." Steve picked up the shield, rubbed its surface, and said, "Actually, there's a reason why the original paint was so vibrant; it attracts the enemy's attention, and the design is like a target. Psychologically speaking, it induces the enemy to unconsciously fire at the center of the shield. But this design..."

Peter stood up in shock, his spider eyes on his mask wide. "What? That shield actually has a taunting effect?"

"Otherwise, why do you think the enemy isn't shooting at my legs?"

"I thought you were just better at fighting, that you blocked them all with your shield," Peter said naively, then he added with a hint of worry, "Big Bro Ben, now that it's this sudden change, what if the captain gets shot by a pistol?"

Ben glanced at him, wondering why this kid had started calling him "Big Bro Ben" too, but still explained, "Unless they're using Adamantium bullets, it won't work."

"What's the meaning?"

Peter was taken aback for a moment, but Natasha quickly recovered and asked in surprise, "You used Vibranium to make the suit?"

How much would a Vibranium Battle Suit cost?

Even Stark's armor isn't worth as much as this suit, right? If he quits this job, he could sell the suit and have enough money for retirement for generations.

The Sandman also touched his clothes in surprise, seemingly genuinely intending to sell his battle armor.

Since I'm a Logia-type user, I don't need a battle suit for protection.

T'Challa's expression wasn't too good. Most of the Vibranium materials Ben had were obtained from Ultron, and Ultron's Vibranium was stolen from Wakanda. It could be said that this loss was entirely due to Wakanda.

Moreover, his original uniqueness as Super Hero lay in his enhanced body and suit. Now that everyone has body enhancement serums and suits with the same function as his, he feels like he has suddenly transformed from a core member into a super soldier.

But after glancing at Steve Rogers, he realized he wasn't so bad after all.

At least his power comes from the Heart-Shaped Herb, and he can communicate with the Panther God, unlike Steve, whose only Superpowers is now available to everyone, including himself, who received a Super Soldier Serum, rendering his equipment practically useless.

If you already have battle suits, what's the point of having a shield?

That thing is more symbolic than practical; it's better to hang it on the outside of the Galactic Plumbers Space Station as a car emblem than to let him hold it in his hand.

T'Challa shook the potion in his hand, wondering if the effects of the Super Soldier Serum and the Heart-Shaped Herb could stack, or if he could give it to Shuri to see if he could replicate a batch of Super Soldier Serum to strengthen Wakanda's fighting power.

Ben's gaze swept across their faces, knowing exactly what they were thinking, and then he said:

"William, stop thinking about selling your suit. Your suit isn't Vibranium; it's just a waterproof suit with Nanotechnology. Besides, the other suits only have a small amount of Vibranium in them, not pure Vibranium."

No matter how much Vibranium he has, he can't possibly make all the suits out of metal for them. But even a small amount of Vibranium is priceless. Their sturdiness goes without saying; even if they're hit head-on by a missile, it won't hurt them.

T'Challa's plans also failed to materialize.

After distributing the suits, Ben began injecting them with the Super Soldier Serum.

In fact, ordinary serum is no longer a rare item at Galactic Plumbers.

S.H.I.E.L.D.. has been researching the serum for so many years simply because the original formula is no longer available. After Cat handed over the formula, the serum could have been mass-produced long ago, and many Plumbers have been injected with it.

However, Ben did not want the serum to flood the market, as that would not be a good thing.

"Big Bro Ben, do we no longer need to inject the serum?" Felicia jumped next to him, nudged his waist with her elbow, and teased him.

She found it quite fun to call Ben "Big Bro Ben" along with everyone else.

Harry, standing nearby, nodded in agreement. "I've already had the serum injected; repeating it shouldn't have any effect."

That's not necessarily true.

Ben shook his head. Repeated injections of the serum are indeed effective. In some stories, one of Marvel's most powerful heroes, the Sentry, who is said to possess the power of a million stars, is a product of some kind of drug.

This is why Ben didn't want the serum formula to fall into the wrong hands.

Whether it's mass-produced or modified, it's not a good thing.

But that's not what he wants to talk about now.

"What you have is an enhanced version, called Super Soldier Serum 2. It can further enhance your strength on top of your original abilities."

Upon hearing this, even Steve curiously examined the serum. He was quite curious to see how much his physical abilities would improve after injecting the enhanced version.

"Spider-Man has Gene Replenishment Potion in his hand."

"Gene Replenishment Potion?" Peter was taken aback; it was the first time he'd heard the name. "What's it for?"

"As the name suggests, it replenishes your missing Superpowers," Ben said.

To enhance his little brother, he even extracted some of his own genes, from which he obtained the Black Spider's abilities to generate electricity, absorb electricity, and become invisible.

Actually, Ben felt uneasy when he watched the animation before.

Peter Parker is clearly the classic, but the Spider-Man who came out later all have cooler abilities than Peter, as if Peter is just the most basic character.

"That sounds good." Peter quite pleased.

Then there's Sandman. The serum he's holding isn't the Super Soldier Serum, but a "coagulant" specifically for his physical condition, allowing him to become a real person when his Kinetic Energy.

Originally, if the Sandman wanted to maintain his human appearance, he needed to constantly control the sand grains, and even so, his skin would constantly flake off.

It could be said that the reason he so loathed his own abilities was because they had turned him into a monster, but now, Ben had given him a chance to be human again, for which William Baker was naturally grateful.

Finally, there's Attorney Matt.

"Daredevil doesn't have the drug, but I've prepared something else for you, Dr. Helen."

Matt's Batman- like chin, squeezed by the mask, revealed a surprised curve. He had noticed long ago that there were no potions on his table, but he hadn't said anything. After all, the Galactic Plumbers was already very generous, distributing suits and equipment.

He knew he was just blind and his Superpowers were insignificant, so it wasn't worth investing too much in him.

But unexpectedly, Ben had other plans for him.

He sensed someone enter the conference room; from the sound of their heartbeat, he could tell the person was strong and powerful, most likely Superman had been injected with the serum.

"This is Dr. Helen Cho Zhao," Ben introduced earnestly, even though he knew Matt couldn't see. "Dr. Helen's Regeneration Cradle technology is mature and can repair damaged organs in the human body."

"Really? Could it be that even eye damage can..."

Matt stood up in surprise, and after a moment he realized he had been a bit out of line, quickly saying, "I'm sorry, Doctor Cho, I just find it a little hard to believe."

He was so excited that he became incoherent.

"Don't worry about it," Helen Cho said with a smile. "The improvement of the Regeneration Cradle technology is also thanks to the boss. Thanks to the boss for providing the Extremis Virus technology, repairing a pair of eyes is not difficult."

Matt looked at Ben with immediate gratitude.

He thought back to his first meeting with Ben long ago, when they were fighting against the Muse, and how he had felt very regretful that the Self-Healing Serum couldn't restore his sight.

Surprisingly, the other party didn't give up and actually developed this technology.

Ben shrugged.

This wasn't something he specifically researched; it just so happened that the technology was already mature. And we also have to thank Killian's Extremis Virus technology, otherwise the Regeneration Cradle wouldn't have been so perfect, and it might have ended up with a strangely colored body like Vision's.

Incidentally, in the White Can Iron Man comics, Matt also briefly gained the ability to rebuild light through the Extremis Virus.

However, faced with Tony's threat, he abandoned the light and chose justice.

Helen led a group of people to the laboratory, preparing to inject the drug into each of them one by one. This was not troublesome; Primus ' technology had advanced to the point that as long as they lay down, they could be enhanced with a single click.

While they were all being put on the test bench, Ben also inquired with Norman about the construction progress of the Galactic Plumbers Earth Branch.

Norman plans to establish a branch on each continent, and he's already started hollowing out Mount Rushmore.

In his current view, the presidency is nothing special; Mount Rushmore, and you can just hollow it out. The locations of the remaining bases are still under discussion, and he is inclined to place one of them near Wakanda.

Wakanda remains highly isolated, especially after the Ultron incident, and there's a strong tendency for it to remain closed off for hundreds of years to come.

Norman could not accept the existence of such a lawless zone outside his jurisdiction.

"Wakanda isn't something to worry about too much, but that's fine... Let T'Challa and the others manage that branch themselves." He thought for a moment and decided not to get involved in Wakanda's affairs any further.

Aside from Vibranium, nothing else there seemed of great value to Ben.

The Panther God and such are nothing more than minor gods with weak power.

The reason Bant agreed to Norman's suggestion to establish a branch there was because Ben remembered that Atlantis seemed to have Contradiction with Wakanda.

The lost underwater city—that's truly a place detached from the rest of the world.

Of course, there are also the Inhumans.

There are still many unknown countries on Earth, and the agents of the Galactic Plumbers's Guild are still quite busy.

He flipped through the files again and discovered that Thor had actually submitted his resume to the Galactic Plumbers, seemingly interested in becoming a Plumbers.

"Is this salted fish finally going to turn things around?"

He was surprised and ticked the box on the application, intending to turn Thor into Loki's soldier and let the two brothers fall in love and fight each other.

Just then, Peter and the others came out of the laboratory.

Steve, carrying his shield, led the way, looking every bit the spiritual leader; Black Cat and Spider-Man followed closely behind, with the rest of the group lined up in a row, resembling a Galactic Plumbers.

Ben was very satisfied.

"Very good, from today onwards, you will be called the Thunderbolts."
