Past Events
"Then I'll treat! I'm afraid a regular restaurant wouldn't be able to satisfy this guy's appetite..." Hearing Susan Storm's words, Tony Stark shook his head with a smile. If Robet were to eat out with them, they would probably starve to death before they could even get a bite to eat. It would be better for him to arrange for someone to continue preparing a big meal. Anyway, Tony Stark was already used to it.
"So what do we need to do?" Barry Allen asked Tony Stark with the self-awareness of a loser. Since Tony Stark had helped them solve the problem of treating them to dinner, they definitely had to help Tony Stark in some way.
After all, the current Avengers are simply in a cooperative relationship. Everyone relies on their own abilities. Some contribute more, some contribute less, but no one can sit back and reap the benefits while waiting for others to contribute. That kind of cooperation will not go far.
Tony Stark is undoubtedly the wealthiest Avengers, but Tony Stark also has his weaknesses. For example, his own strength isn't particularly formidable, and he needs the Avengers ' help in researching supernatural abilities...
"Of course, it would be even better if you could let me study your abilities later..." Tony Stark smiled at Johnny Storm and the other two. He naturally had his own purpose in doing so.
Just as Robet said before, Tony Stark's Mecha haven't had a real iteration or update in a long time. More importantly, the convergence of Tony Stark's Mecha is becoming increasingly obvious.
All the Mecha are modeled after the most powerful Mecha, either as perfect replicas or made with reduced materials to maintain costs. Tony Stark's original idea of creating various Mecha with different abilities to deal with different situations is now impossible to realize.
Bucky Barnes ' Vibranium arm certainly inspired Tony Stark, but even if he had succeeded, he would have at most created a different type of Vibranium Mech, not completely surpassed the original Mecha concept. This is because Vibranium Mech is primarily characterized by the unique properties of the material...
"I want to study your stealth abilities, Susan. My Mecha also have stealth capabilities, but most of them are only Dragon Radar- based stealth. I can't achieve true stealth like you. Also, I need to learn your Energy Barrier abilities. That way, my Mecha's defense should be superior..." Thinking of this, Tony Stark looked at Susan Storm and the other two and spoke in succession.
"As for Johnny, your Explosive Flames are worth studying. Although my Arc Reactor is under my control and its energy is extremely stable, I might be able to get some inspiration from you to make energy attacks even more powerful..."
"And Allen, my Mecha's speed has reached its limit, and I haven't been able to improve it for a long time. It seems that my Mecha's structure has reached the current aerodynamic limit, so I'm hoping to find some inspiration from you..."
Yes, Tony Stark didn't let any of them go. He wanted to study the abilities of Susan Storm and the other two, not only to improve his strongest Mecha, but also to create different kinds of opportunities.
Just like sometimes, a simple energy attack might not be as damaging to the enemy as a flamethrower. And the flamethrower that Tony Stark can create is obviously just ordinary flame. He needs to find a way to use the Arc Reactor in his Mecha to condense a completely new flame power!
This was merely Tony Stark's first step. Once Tony Stark was able to condense flames using the energy within the Arc Reactor, it signified that he had gained a new understanding and knowledge of the energy within the Arc Reactor. After that, Tony Stark Tony Stark was able to attempt to deduce various different powers through the Arc Reactor!
Of course, the power of fire itself is more compatible with the Arc Reactor in terms of compatibility, and it is indeed more suitable for Tony Stark to use as his earliest breakthrough point...
"Looks like our schedule is pretty full!" Johnny Storm and the other two exchanged glances after hearing Tony Stark's words, and Johnny Storm couldn't help but complain.
Soon, Johnny Storm and his two companions went to rest. Two days later, the group gathered at the Avengers ' base for a new feast. Chefs from all over the world were busy preparing, but they were already used to this kind of busyness.
After all, these chefs had been called in by Tony Stark to cook for them many times, and they were used to Robet's gluttonous appetite, so they weren't surprised at all. They even had time to prepare food for the other Avengers...
"By the way, what exactly is Peter busy with? He's not even coming to the dinner party?" During the meal, while Robet was still engrossed in his work, Johnny Storm cutting his steak, looked at the others with some confusion and asked.
Previously, when dealing with the Giant Demon King, if Peter Parker had been there, the Johnny Storm trio wouldn't have been in such a sorry state. Peter Parker wasn't enough to cause a qualitative change, but he could still share a large portion of the firepower!
Furthermore, Peter Parker's Thunder Spider Web has a paralyzing effect, which can not only disrupt the Giant Demon King's offensive rhythm, but also the firepower released by his lightning is not much worse than Johnny Storm's, so the damage to the Giant Demon King will be even greater!
Therefore, if Peter Parker had intervened, even without Robet's help to shrink the Telekinetic Barrier and allow the Explosive Flames to accumulate, Peter Parker and his companions could still have killed the Giant Demon King.
However, Peter Parker did not appear. It should be noted that when the Great Demon appeared, Robet contacted every Avengers. Robet even planned how each person would be assigned to a team and which Demon King they would face. After all, only Robet knew everyone's strength best, and he also knew the strength of the Hell Demon King facing them.
When Robet contacted Peter Parker, Peter Parker said he was very busy and didn't have time at the moment. Robet asked briefly and learned that Peter Parker had just come out of the Nutrient Healing Pod and seemed to be doing something important, so Robet didn't press the matter.
Although Peter Parker had performed the best within the small team, Robet had already prepared for the possibility that someone in the team might be unable to participate in the extraordinary events due to personal reasons...
Just as Robet had said before, he would not force anyone to stay in the supernatural world, denying them the opportunity to live a normal life...
"You all don't know yet, do you? Peter asked Jarvis to keep it a secret, but Jarvis already reported the news to me beforehand, only keeping it a secret from you afterwards..." Tony Stark said, swallowing the cheeseburger in his mouth as he heard Johnny Storm's words and saw that everyone had stopped and was looking at him.
"This matter is somewhat related to Peter Parker's background, so it's really not convenient for us to get involved. Moreover, based on Jarvis's analysis, we know that Peter Parker shouldn't have any major problems. Even if something does happen, Jarvis will be able to notify us in time!"
Tony Stark didn't reveal Richard Parker's situation. After all, these were difficult things to talk about. What could he do? After all, Peter Parker's father was a villain.
Tony Stark felt that Bucky Barnes must understand this feeling very well; that sense of helplessness and unease must have been constantly surging within Peter Parker's heart. But Tony Stark also believed that Peter Parker would ultimately make the right decision!
Hearing Tony Stark's words, although curiosity still lingered in everyone's eyes, and their hearts were still itching to know more, no one pressed for further questions. They simply began to eat their food absentmindedly...
Meanwhile, Peter Parker had been quite busy lately. After a brief exchange with the Giant Spider, Peter Parker injuries flared up again. Because he didn't want too many people to know about it, and Robet was dealing with Hak foo's Shadow Incident at the time, Peter Parker chose to slowly recover in the Nutrient Healing Pod.
Of course, there is another very important reason, which is that Peter Parker hopes that this period of recovery will allow him to calm down!
Although Peter Parker appeared nonchalant in front of Richard Parker, Peter Parker was actually feeling just as uneasy as Tony Stark suspected.
During his recovery, Peter Parker's mind raced with thoughts, but he ultimately didn't give up on dealing with Richard Parker. He knew that Richard Parker had already gone down a path of no return, and there was no way he could ever see the light again; he was no longer a normal person...
However, Peter Parker still wanted to find out some things, such as the truth of what happened back then!
Back then, was it that Norman Osborn's actions were so ruthless that Norman Osborn Richard Parker felt threatened and became unwilling to trust him, or was it that Richard Parker's greed led him down this path...?
Moreover, the most crucial question remains: how exactly was this mutated Spider created? What was Richard Parker's mental state when he created Spider? Would he be affected by this Spider mutation, thus altering his character later?
Changing one's mindset is not impossible. After all, whether it's the Super Soldier Serum used by Steve and Bucky Barnes in the Avengers, or the Serum used by the Green Goblin mentioned by Harry Osborn, they all changed the host's personality to some extent.
Peter Parker knew Steve could do his best, but Peter Parker wasn't sure if he could withstand that change in mindset; at least, Peter Parker wasn't that confident...
Therefore, after recovering from his injuries, Peter Parker found Harry Osborn Harry Osborn, who had already taken care of Norman Osborn's affairs and made himself powerful, taking over all matters of the Osborn Group.
However, at this point, Harry Osborn still lacked the courage to face Peter Parker, especially since Harry Osborn didn't know how he should approach Peter Parker...
When Peter Parker saw Harry Osborn's expression, he knew that the other man was caught in the same emotional state as him. The only difference between them was that Peter Parker's father was still alive, but the same thing was that Richard Parker, who had gone down the path of evil, was bound to be dealt with!
So, seeing Harry Osborn's expression, Peter Parker recounted what he knew, including what about Richard Parker. After this account, Harry Osborn's expression changed several times, eventually showing a hint of relief...
Previously, Harry Osborn had always felt that he had wronged Peter Parker, but now that the origin of everything had become Peter Parker's father, Harry Osborn felt a little better, even though Peter Parker was unaware of it before.
After Harry Osborn calmed himself down, both he and Peter Parker felt a sense of relief. The guilt they had felt earlier gradually dissipated, and they became more relaxed.
Later, with Harry Osborn's help, Peter Parker entered the Osborn Tower and began searching for Spider Web the research he had conducted years ago. Although Richard Parker had theoretically destroyed everything, he had fled and hidden in haste, so some things were inevitably left behind...
After some effort, Peter Parker found a partially damaged videotape. It was clear that the tape was so badly destroyed that almost nothing remained. Norman Osborn, who had kept it, must have tried to repair and read it, but unfortunately, he probably failed.
However, Norman Osborn's failure does not mean Peter Parker cannot succeed. Peter Parker's technological capabilities are limited on his own, but with Jarvis's help, it is not impossible for him to repair or read part of the videotape's contents!
"Success!" Under the watchful eyes of Peter Parker and Harry Osborn, a video clip appeared before them. The video was initially extremely blurry, but as Jarvis continuously input new data and computing power, it gradually became clearer, thus unraveling the secret of that year...
When Richard Parker and his wife Mary joined the Osborn Group, they were eager to help Norman Osborn. However, they were not the only ones conducting this research at the beginning; there were many competitors as well.
With no progress and under Norman Osborn's pressure, Richard Parker's mindset changed. He stopped studying the information provided by Norman Osborn and instead shifted his focus to using the Osborn Group to his advantage!
