Umbrella Corporation was established in the mid-19th century by Edward, the sixth-generation heir of the European noble Ashford family; American arms dealer Ozwell E. Spencer; and biochemist James Marcus. They founded a pharmaceutical company named Umbrella that also sold weapons on the side, rapidly expanding it into a global mega-corporation within a few years.
During World War II in the United States, Howard Stark's Stark Industries and Umbrella Corporation became the two pillars of the American military industry. Oscorp was still a small company, attracting little attention and possessing relatively weak capabilities. Umbrella Corporation, meanwhile, was an internationally dominant monopoly spanning political and economic circles, with operations covering most high-tech industries, including pharmaceuticals, medical hardware, and defense products.
Founded by the three elders, Umbrella's headquarters stood in New York City. The building bore the company's red-and-white umbrella logo, making it the only company in the world to use an umbrella as its emblem. Stark Industries and Umbrella's buildings also became iconic landmarks of New York City.

"Boss, after three years of research, we discovered that most prisoners entered a stable state of mutation after being slowly infected with the T-virus in cultivation tanks. We named them Tyrants after the T-virus prototype. Shall we begin monitoring the test subject's data?" In the dim, enormous, meticulous white underground laboratory, a researcher introduced the experimental data.
"Very good. Begin. I can't wait to see whether thirty Lickers or the Tyrant Prototype T-002 is stronger." Tang Tian narrowed his eyes at the Tyrant Prototype inside the glass container and nodded slightly. Its skin was grayish-white like that of a zombie, while its body was covered in exceptionally powerful muscles. Its arms alone were over twenty centimeters in diameter. Its right fingertips had evolved massive, exaggerated claws, and the nails at the end of every finger were many times longer than military knives. It was practically a rack of military knives put together. The Tyrant Prototype was simply synonymous with overwhelming power.
While researching the T-virus derived from the Progenitor Virus as a biological weapon, they had created many failed variants. Zombies, Lickers, and Nemesis were all products of T-virus mutation. Zombies had combat power of only five, so there was no need to mention them. Lickers and Nemesis could easily wipe out more than thirty mercenaries. These conclusions had all been reached through experiments at the African Branch.
Ahem, ahem. Back to the battle between thirty Lickers and the Tyrant Prototype. ------------Separator------------
"Roar!" A thunderous sound rang out, and the entire laboratory seemed to shake. In the safe zone outside the combat area, the Red Queen faithfully recorded the scene in the cultivation chamber. A giant more than three meters tall slowly recovered from its frozen state. This was Tyrant T-002.
"Ready, Boss." After the Russian Slav spoke, his eyes instantly turned blood-red. Then, a group of Lickers appeared, resembling skinned frogs. Their eyes had degenerated, their finger joints were thick and armed with claws, their brains were directly exposed, and they possessed extremely long mouthparts.
Slav, who controlled the Lickers, had been injected with a Progenitor Virus similar to the relationship between a queen bee and worker bees, granting him the ability to control biological weapons at will. Of course, the world-destroying T-virus would not be sold for the time being. They would only consider it once it could be safely controlled.
The battle went exactly as expected. Under Slav's control, the Lickers attacked the Tyrant, initially wrapping it up with countless tongues. However, the Lickers had still underestimated the Tyrant's strength. In an instant, six Lickers were torn into pieces by the Tyrant's terrifying power. Its sharp claws then eliminated another five. Finally, the remaining nineteen Lickers were completely wiped out by the Tyrant's second form. Thirty Lickers versus the Tyrant Prototype—the Tyrant Prototype won flawlessly.
Clap, clap, clap. The applause brought all the dumbfounded researchers back to reality, and everyone began celebrating.
"Good work. You've all worked hard. Everyone will receive a five-thousand-dollar bonus this month," Tang Tian said flatly. The researchers immediately grew excited. Five thousand dollars was not a small bonus; during World War II, the dollar's purchasing power was considerable. Researching biological weapons might have been immoral, but who knew? In the United States, a world built on money, there were very few things money could not accomplish.
"Fine. Tell Dr. William to speed up the G-virus research. Double the research funding again, to twenty million dollars. Leave the Antarctic base to Alexia, and have Wesker come over as well." Tang Tian rubbed his temples and spoke after relaxing slightly.
"Yes, Boss," said the Black bodyguard beside Tang Tian.
"Main God, fuck your ancestors. I never expected I'd come back, did you?" Tang Tian muttered to himself, then left with a smile. --------------------Separator----------------
Anyone who had experienced the Reincarnation World understood its terror. After breaking free from reincarnation, Tang Tian continued seeking advanced technology and various genes from story worlds. In the end, while fighting over an artifact for crossing worlds, he damaged the Main God's interests and was attacked by it. Under an explosion surpassing a supernova, he arrived in this world with part of the power of the Seven Divine Artifacts and his soul.
Although he possessed only part of the Seven Divine Artifacts' power, they represented time, space, energy, mind, taboo, soul, and chaos. Combined, their power equaled that of a lesser Main God and could alter some of the laws of the Marvel Universe plane. Tang Tian used all one million of his Karma Points through the lesser Main God represented by the Hexagram pattern on his arm, allowing him to restore his power as a plane merchant capable of traveling through space and time. He also gained Umbrella Corporation as the foundation for his survival. In this Marvel Universe, Umbrella retained only its villains and scientists, while everyone else was removed. Tang Tian had now replaced Umbrella's original chairman, Ozwell E. Spencer, as the new chairman, controlling an increasingly powerful Umbrella Corporation.
The results were fruitful. Tang Tian's foresight allowed him to thrive in his future life and grow ever stronger. After Umbrella participated in the Super Soldier Program and discovered the mutant Sebastian Shaw, whom the Nazis called the Black King, Tang Tian knew that this was the Marvel Universe, also known as the Marvel World. Therefore, after learning this, the crisis-conscious Tang Tian continued researching T-virus biological weapons over the next three years. The Tyrant Prototype had now been developed very successfully. Once mutant genes were added in the future, the Tyrant's strength would surely rise to another level.
"Victor and Wolverine should appear during the Vietnam War. The genes in those two old monsters are pretty good too. I can consider transplanting their genes in the future." Tang Tian thought for a moment, then stopped dwelling on it for now. The timeline for Wolverine 1 had not yet arrived, and the most valuable thing at present was still the Super Soldier Serum.
Although Umbrella had only been developing for twelve years and its influence was not yet great, Umbrella's representatives had already secretly infiltrated the upper echelons of Western governments. When necessary, they could reduce some trouble. The obstacle restricting Umbrella's entry into the global market was still World War II. This war, which had caused the greatest number of deaths in human history, had severely affected Umbrella's pace in taking control of the world.
Tang Tian was still interested in meeting Captain America. After Captain America's storyline ended would come the events of X-Men: First Class. For now, he could develop slowly and leisurely, while also traveling to other movie worlds to plunder them. The great Tech God Cult would not develop so quietly. Only war and plunder were what arms dealers ought to do; war could drive technological progress.
--------------------P.S.: After thinking it over, I decided to start with Captain America. During that time, there will be travel to other worlds for plunder. I thought about writing this new book for a long time, so please support it. I will also keep the messy parts under control. Everyone's support is the author's motivation to keep writing.
