The Genesis of Mysterio

Nathan Hawke understood from the other party's reaction that Miss America, who was in front of him, was from a timeline after Doctor Strange 2.

No wonder she'd mumbled about the Avengers.

As for the Sanctuary...

"Beep, beep." Nathan Hawke heard a notification sound from his desk. He said to the three of them, "Follow me."

Umbrella Secret R&D Department.

Ryoma Sengoku and Dr. Keitz were speaking to the assembled group. "Based on the spatial fluctuations emitted by the wormhole and the fluctuations when Miss Chavez appeared, Dr. Keitz and I plan to develop a reactor ring and earrings for you that emit unstable fluctuations. This way, when worn, anyone trying to pinpoint your location will be interfered with by the unstable energy waves emitted by the reaction drive."

"The only drawback is that they're only valid for one year and need to be replaced afterward. But don't worry, we've prepared many very beautiful styles for you," Ryoma Sengoku quipped.

"Thank you, thank you," Miss America said, jumping up excitedly and thanking everyone present. If it were truly possible, she really didn't want to go back to the Sanctuary. After all, many people had died there.

She also felt a pang of sadness, increasingly yearning to fully master her own power.

Miss America's matter was concluded.

Inside the Umbrella Experimental Research Institute.

Nathan Hawke stared intently at the report on the research progress of the Three Sacred Treasures bloodline, the T-Virus, and the G-Virus displayed on the screen, his brow deeply furrowed. These were extremely important research areas for Umbrella, bordering on human genetics and biotechnology. He knew that in-depth research in these fields could lead to immense scientific advancements, but it also carried enormous risks and ethical dilemmas.

"How did your end of things go?" Nathan Hawke asked as Wesker appeared ghost-like.

"It was resolved more easily than expected," Wesker replied coldly.

"Good. Keep them under strict surveillance. Do not let them reveal our most important research."

"Understood." Wesker vanished ghost-like.

At the same time, Ryoma Sengoku and Dr. Keitz nodded to each other.

Ryoma Sengoku, appearing composed and calm, handed a report to Nathan Hawke. "Boss, this is the latest research report on the Three Sacred Treasures bloodline. We've made some significant discoveries. According to our research, the Three Sacred Treasures bloodline may carry a special gene sequence that allows them to unleash extraordinary power. We are attempting to decipher the secrets of these gene sequences to apply them to the cloning program."

Dr. Keitz, looking excited and proud, showcased his research results. "Mr. Nathan, I am honored to report that we have made groundbreaking progress in human genetics. Through precise gene modification, we have successfully enhanced certain specific human abilities, such as strength, speed, and endurance. This holds immense potential for human evolution and combat effectiveness. However, we must also consider ethical and moral issues and ensure the safety and controllability of this technology."

Nathan Hawke listened to the reports silently, contemplating the impact and potential risks of this research.

Ryoma Sengoku continued, handing another report to Nathan Hawke. "Regarding the G-Virus, we have thoroughly researched its effects on human genes. The G-Virus possesses high mutagenicity and infectivity, capable of altering human cell structure and function, leading to the creation of mutated creatures. We have successfully isolated and studied the G-Virus genome, attempting to understand its transmission and control mechanisms. We hope that through this research, we can find effective treatment methods to counter the threat of the G-Virus. Afterward, we will inject it into the clones."

Dr. Keitz added, "As for the T-Virus, we have made some breakthroughs. The T-Virus is a virus capable of altering human genes and physiological characteristics, possessing extremely high adaptability and transmissibility. Our research is focused on understanding the T-Virus's impact on gene expression and developing antiviral drugs against T-Virus infection. We believe that by deeply studying the biological characteristics of the T-Virus, we can find effective treatment methods and even potentially provide new avenues for human gene regulation. Meanwhile, the A.B.C series of biological weapons are becoming increasingly stable in terms of stability and production lines. The Weapons Development Department is tailoring exclusive supporting weapons for the Tyrants."

"Excellent, excellent," Nathan Hawke applauded.

"Then the cloning, the Three Sacred Treasures bloodline, and the subsequent virus implantation will be up to you."

Ryoma Sengoku adjusted his reflective glasses. "Boss, if we succeed in cloning a being that fuses the Three Sacred Treasures bloodline and successfully implants the G-Virus within it, will we be able to control it? And just how powerful will its strength be, I'm truly looking forward to it."

Dr. Keitz, standing beside him, trembled with excitement.

After all, this was research akin to "God creation."

Speaking of God creation, Dr. Keitz's eyes flickered with the image of another man, whom he had only seen in photos but never in person, rumored to have also been summoned by Nathan Hawke.

Sephiroth.

Nathan Hawke also inwardly anticipated the arrival of that individual.

"Oh, right, what is John Walker doing now?" Nathan Hawke suddenly asked about the superhero candidate he was about to debut.

"Him? He's busy with his heroic endeavors," Ryoma Sengoku replied with a playful smirk.

Weapons Development Department.

Baker Team. Baker clapped his hands loudly, signaling the people working under him to look at him.

"Guys. We've got a new assignment from upstairs. Unfortunately, the equipment mission for Kamen Rider Duke that I secured for you has been given to another team."

Baker raised an eyebrow after speaking, looking at his expectant subordinates as he revealed the surprise. "The higher-ups have given our team a very challenging mission: to create a new superhero. A high-tech superhero."

Upon hearing Baker's words, the members of the Baker Team showed a hint of disappointment. They had initially hoped to participate in the equipment mission for Kamen Rider Duke, but now being told to create a new superhero was a very challenging task for them.

Baker smiled, observing his subordinates' expressions, and continued, "I know this mission's suddenness might surprise you, but I believe we have the capability to complete it. We are the top team in the R&D department, possessing advanced technology and innovative thinking. We can create a superhero in the truest sense of the word!"

"And, a generous salary."

Everyone's eyes lit up instantly.

"So, Boss, are you planning to use that holographic system technology you wanted to use when you were at Stark Industries?" an old colleague who had followed Baker for many years immediately understood the idea behind Baker's words.

"That's right," Baker snapped his fingers, a sly smile playing on his lips. "Though now it should be called: Illusion Technology."

A female member working on weapon design drafts asked, "Boss, you've already thought of this superhero's story and hero name, haven't you?"

"Yes," Baker replied affirmatively. Then, spreading his arms to all the members of the Baker Team present, he declared proudly, "The name of this superhero I've decided on is: Mysterio."

"Wow. I didn't expect them to be so fast," Nathan Hawke said, holding the report submitted by the Baker Team regarding the superhero "Mysterio's" story outline, hero design, weapon development, and R&D fund investment.

"Hmm, it's similar to the character outline from the Avengers movie. But why is this guy treating Iron Man as his mortal enemy?" Nathan Hawke smirked, but he understood the members of the Baker Team and Baker's own fear of unstable income after being fired by Stark, as well as their vengeful feelings towards Stark for dismissing Baker's holographic system technology as "B.A.R.F." at the time.

Nathan Hawke crossed this part out. Mysterio could be born, but the character needed to be beautified. He then reviewed it again, carefully examining the story outline and design materials for the superhero "Mysterio" submitted by the Baker Team. Afterward, Nathan Hawke summoned Baker.

"Baker, I believe we need to make some modifications and embellishments to Mysterio's character. While you emphasize his hostility towards Stark Industries in the story, are you planning to have our new hero, the company's new hero, piggyback on Iron Man's popularity? No. We need to adjust the storyline to make it more appealing and relatable."

Baker nodded with slight disappointment, agreeing to Nathan Hawke's suggestion. He understood that his boss's intention was to create a more popular and recognized superhero image for better promotion and marketing.

"Alright, we'll re-examine the storyline to make Mysterio more charming and appealing. We can emphasize his technical prowess and intelligence, while also shaping him into a hero with a sense of justice and bravery. Furthermore, we've designed a unique and innovative set of equipment for him to showcase his extraordinary abilities and combat strength." Baker could only nod in agreement.

"We need to give Mysterio a noble mission, a belief he upholds," Nathan Hawke mused. He believed that a successful superhero image required an inspiring backstory and moving character emotions.

Listening to Nathan Hawke's words, Baker's mind suddenly conjured images of Mysterio battling various opponents like alien creatures, interdimensional beings, mutated creatures, and magical creatures.

Then, Baker asked obsequiously, "So, boss, would it be possible for our Baker Team to film a big movie about Mysterio?"

Nathan Hawke looked at the fawning smile on the other's face and said, "Yes, but I'll have the oversight team go over to monitor your progress and financial situation at that time."

"That's great, thank you, boss," Baker said excitedly, simultaneously planning the casting for this superhero movie in his mind. It had to be explosive, a massive hit, and intensely exciting.
